On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, President Biden re-armed Iran, Hamas Nazi terrorist groups, and the Palestinian terrorists in every way possible. We’ve gone from peace in the Middle East under President Trump, back to President Obama’s policy which was to weaken Israel and empower Iran. When you are fighting evil over and over again at some point you must destroy it before it destroys you. Weeks ago Israel and Saudi Arabia were close to a peace deal that would have changed the Middle East forever. But Biden and 20 senators said no – not unless Israel gave land to Palestine. Biden was already in the midst of sabotaging what would have been an incredible deal. If someone wanted to destroy Israel, they would fund Iran and undermine the Israeli government. They would do exactly what the Biden administration is doing. Also, Gen Keith Kellogg calls in and explains how the Biden administration is selling Israel down the river. Biden needs to put fear in the leaders of Hamas, and Hezbollah and say we are coming for you, but they won’t do it. Later, Rep Kevin McCarthy joins Mark to break down his 5-point plan for Israel – rescue American hostages, stand with Israel, confront Iran, focus on security and our own border, and combat anti-Semitism within the U.S. This attack is a combination between 9/11 and Pearl Harbor and the lack of response is infuriating. Finally, Secretary Mike Pompeo calls in and explains that Iran has threatened to kill him and other Americans yet the Biden administration gives them $6 billion. Iran just killed nine Americans through Hamas. Iran has funded and fueled Hamas.

Segment 1
Well, America, this is what happens. This is what happens when you appease and sell out to the enemy. Now, as I’ve been saying all weekend on Fox, the first to say it. Somebody had to say it. Now it’s being repeated and that’s a good thing. Joe Biden rearmed the Islamo Nazi regime in Iran. Joe Biden rearmed. The Hamas. Hezbollah. Nazi terrorist groups. Joe Biden rearmed. The Palestinian terrorists. In every way possible. The Democrat Party is trying to put a man in prison for the rest of his life. But you may have heard of him. Donald Trump. Who literally changed the Middle East. I don’t mean he made evil genocidal maniacs peaceniks. He had his foot on their throats. He killed Suleimani, the head of the Iranian. Republican Guard. He killed the head of ISIS. He cut off the Palestinians because they wouldn’t. They wouldn’t give up terrorism. And he said, we’re not going to use one American cent, which they can claim is for refugees in order to build up their terror operation. He cut them off. Just like the border, just like so much else. Joe Biden comes in office. There’s the anti-Trump. Whatever Trump did, he had to reverse. So he reversed at all. So we’ve gone from peace breaking out in the Middle East. Literally two and a half, three years ago. Unimaginable success, a policy of success. That should have been embraced and continued. And he went back to Obama’s policy. What was Obama’s policy? Obama’s policy was to weaken Israel, to empower Iran, create what he and the people now around Biden. Those are his people. Considered the remaking of that region of the world where Israel and Iran would be of pretty much equal powers. Both would have nuclear weapons. And look what they’ve done. In Afghanistan, the Afghanis had to pay the price. Look what’s happened. And in the Middle East, the Jews are paying the price. Americans are paying the price. There are 200,000 Americans in Israel. Where’s Joe Biden today? We don’t know. Where was Joe Biden last evening as having a barbecue? And so now the Obama staff working for Joe Biden is setting policy, putting out propaganda, working there, left wing media working there, liberals to blame everything, of course, on Netanyahu. Of course, everybody wants to know how this happened. But that’s not what the Liberals are saying. How did this happen? That is the left wing Marxists. So many of whom hate our country and hate the state of Israel. Maybe it was because the radical left wing minority parties in Israel aligned with Joe Biden. We’re in the midst of a civil war against the Netanyahu government. Maybe that was a distraction. Maybe the call for the IDF. To rise up and strike against the Netanyahu government. Maybe that was a distraction. Maybe the endless effort. By Joe Biden to undermine Netanyahu’s authority. He’d have everybody in anybody over at the White House, president of Costa Rica, no matter. But he treated Netanyahu like a dog. Two weeks ago, the Israelis and the Saudis were within an eyelash of having a peace deal. Never even imagined. That would have changed the Middle East in a profound way. But Biden and 20 Democrat senators, including the most radical among them, said no. Not unless they concede a significant amount of land to the Palestinians. So he held it up. Biden. Netanyahu said, no, I don’t think we going to do that. We have a problem. You might you might have heard of. It’s called the Gaza Strip. Now you’re going to concede land. So Biden was already in the midst. You haven’t heard any of this today. It’s amazing. Already in the midst. Of sabotaging what would have been an incredible deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel. He and his party. She. But here’s the problem now. There’s a war. And it’s a major war. It’s a big deal. War. And Israel can’t lose if Israel loses. Israel will cease to exist. And you see what’s happened so far. With these bloodthirsty subhumans. Who target the innocent. Babies. Old ladies, old men, including survivors of the Holocaust, taken away to the other side of the border into Gaza. Can you imagine? They purposely attack, first and foremost, this music festival. Well, there’s a large number of teenagers and young people. And grab the girls. Kidnap them. Take them to the Gaza Strip, where they’re going to be raped over and over again. Decapitating. IDF soldiers they capture. And let me tell you something. Most of the IDF soldiers are civilians who spent a year two three in the military there. They’re very young. 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. They’re very young. The Hamas Nazis are using SS tactics. They’re torturing. Soldiers. They’re torturing civilians. They’re dragging them through the streets. They’re putting babies in cages. I have posted relentlessly. Relentlessly on my social sites. So you can see what’s taking place. And also. What has taken place in the recent past. It’s going to get worse before it gets better. In America, we have a Hamas wing of the Democrat Party. Who get an enormous amount of attention from the corporate media who hate America. Who hate our military, who hate our law enforcement, who hate our founding, who hate the Jews. And not just in Israel Jews, period. They’re Marxists. Marxists have always hated the Jews. Among everybody else. Mm hmm. Tell me, who are the Jew haters among the Republicans in Congress? There aren’t any. How about Republicans in the Senate? There aren’t any. Joe Biden has always been of two minds when it comes to Israel, but he’s always of two minds, even though he doesn’t have one. He’s never been a great supporter, but he’s never really made it a big issue. And so he in the Obama reprobates, he surrounds himself with. I want you to remember Blinken was deputy. Secretary of State under Obama. Sky Sherman, another Obama guy. They’re all Obama people. Obama was and is, in my view, an anti-Semite. Interfered with the Israeli election, much as Biden’s interfered with the Israeli election. As far as I know, as of right now, Obama hasn’t even put out a statement. President put out a statement. Oh, half hour ago. Two and a half days later. What did it say? We ought to come together. Show restraint. See if we can de-escalate something like that. Rick. Pretty much because that’s the party line now in the Hamas wing of the Democrat Party. What is the Democrat Party done to put down its. Hate America. Hamas anti-Semitic wing of the party. Not a damn thing. Has Schumer condemned them? No. Has Hakeem Jeffries condemned them? No. Did Nancy Pelosi condemn them? No. Now, some Jewish Democrats in the House. And others more sympathetic to Israel have said things. But the leadership of the Democrat Party has said nothing. What about accountability? Accountability. As I said, right out of the box when I was on Saturday on Fox, this $6 billion issued. Not only is the Biden administration lying and trying to get people confused and the media regurgitating what he was saying, I had to put an end to that. And you can see now people are standing up to this. It’s not just that money is fungible. Why the hell would we give $6 billion two weeks ago to a regime that wanted to assassinate Mike Pompeo and John Bolton or any American? It says hey to America while it’s building intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads. But it’s even worse. $6 billion in ransom. Obama paid almost $2 billion in cash and ransom. Well, the enemy sees these things and they see weakness. They see opportunity. They see exploitation. But for two and a half years in total, secret, Biden and his people have been negotiating with the Islamo Nazi regime in Tehran. And their chief negotiator. Is a well-known Iranian sympathizer. And its classification was pulled a few months ago and he was yanked. Obama. And. The Obama guy, and Biden was begging the Iranians to come to the table, begging them to take anything he would give them. And among other things, he waived a sanction against them and that handed them $10 billion. Among other things, he wouldn’t enforce the oil sanctions that Donald Trump put in place that gave him about $60 billion. That’s c 60 and $1,070 billion. So 6 billion chump change. But when you’re given billions and billions of dollars, I don’t care if you’re giving them billions and billions of dollars to buy lollipops. When in fact they threaten the life of a former secretary of state. And they threaten to destroy your own country. You’re a buffoon. Insane. I’ve got a lot more. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
So, Mark, what should we do? Let me tell you something. Whenever you do something, the European Union of all organizations. Today announced it is freezing millions of dollars of funds to the Palestinian authorities after terror and brutality enacted by Hamas. It would be freezing the supply of hundreds of millions of euros in aid for Palestinian authorities after Hamas attacks on Israel over the weekend. Austria and Germany were among the countries that have voiced approval of the recent measures by the EU. Oliver of the How are you EU Commissioner expressed The EU strongly supports Israel on the conflict, adding The small country has the right to defend itself and so forth. The European Union. It’s freezing their supply of hundreds of millions of euros to the Palestinian authorities, whether it’s the Palestinian Authority or Hamas. What are we doing? Nothing. $6 billion. Well, if it’s in this independent account with Qatar. Phrase it. Why don’t they announce crushing new sanctions against Iran rather than sabotaging the sanctions that Trump put there in the first place? Three easy steps right there, right off the top. I’ll be right back.

Segment 3
So as I sit here America as I sit here the European Union has backtracked. It’s not going to cut off funds the Palestine now who got to them? Who do you think got to them? Oh, and Biden’s going to speak tomorrow evening. You see how they ought to be pressured to do everything. They have a good friend on the program here, General Keith Kellogg, co-chairman, America First Policy Institute. You know, General, if I wanted to help destroy Israel, I would fund the Iranians to tens of billions of dollars. I would fund the Palestinians to a billion or $2 billion. I would undermine their current government, their. I would insist when they’re negotiating with Saudi Arabia for a peace, that unless they give major land concessions to the Palestinians, the United States won’t support it. In other words, General, I would do everything that the Biden administration has done to reverse what Trump did and go even beyond that. Why am I wrong? Where you because you missed one and the one that you missed is this administration is pursuing a policy of accommodation with Iran. Obama did it with Biden as his vice president. They’re doing it now. They’re basically looking the other way. They’re giving Iran money. And the real state sponsors of terrorism in that region are the Iranians. You know, when this occurred on Saturday, you know, there’s videos of Iranian members of parliament chanting Death to Israel, death to America. Why in God’s green earth even talking to the Iranians? They’re the real thugs behind these people. And I give the you know, this is where this is an existential threat for Israel, and we should support them to the fullest degree possible. And we should tell them quite clearly, we will support you unequivocally and make clear to Iran and its proxies that any escalation will be viewed as a threat to American and allied interests, and we will act accordingly. Full stop right there. And what would happen, General, if the Jewish people. We’re destroyed in the Middle East and the Iranians got their nuclear weapons. What would happen? Would that be an existential threat to the United States? I think it would be. Oh, absolutely. I think they’re as close as you can get to a nuclear breakout. They the Iranians are, you know, with a weapon. And it’s almost as if you look at this administration and I really mean it, Mark, and you look at everything they’ve done to drive the these enemies together into one group with the Iranians supporting the Russians and the Russians work for the North Koreans and the Chinese. You look at brokerage of a deal in the backyard that America’s always considered their backyard, where the Saudis and the Iranians made a deal which was conducted by the Chinese. I mean, this is insane. I mean, this is if we’re not asking for major trouble, it’s right here. And, you know, you get really, really concerned about what you see, how this administration is handling it. And then today, to take a holiday, take a day off, not address what’s happening. Oh, I’m going to address from tomorrow night. It’s because they’re forced into it. Somebody saying, wait a second. You’re that you’re supposed to be the leader of the free world and you’re missing in action. Mark, I’m telling you, I can’t believe that people don’t see this. General, what do you think of television networks and cable networks? They come to the defense. Of the Hamas Nazis and blame Israel. That is, they have guests on. They have hosts on. I mean. And basically they’re Nazis like what they’ve been doing to the people in Israel, like how they’re targeting babies and killing all these people. They’re doing, you know, the ACIS redo and so forth. Don’t you scratch your head Sometimes I wonder, how is it possible that so many in the American corporate media. Take the side of the enemy. Yeah. You know, you know, Mark, this is one of those times I’m really glad that people have, you know, video on their telephones because what these these terrorists are doing when they’ve filming, what they’re actually doing has been put on Twitter, you know, formerly Twitter. I think that’s great because it’s great in the sense people get to see really whatever he’s talking about. On the beheading of Israeli soldiers, on the killing of women in their cars, on the killing of women at a festival, and men and women and children being harmed, children being put in cages. I’m sorry. This is beyond the pale. You know, there was a war that was fought in 1945 and we said, look, there was a moral imperative. We are never going to let this happen again. This is exactly what you saw, what happened, what we saw with the Nazis in World War Two. And for people not to put that moral equivalence together is just that it’s beyond stupid. And I think we need to call them out and we need to put a lot of pressure on everybody and people keep talking about it. Show those videos and say, where am I wrong? Show me where I’m wrong because they can’t. And so here we are now. And and I’ve been getting questions all day. Well, what should we do? What should we do? I don’t understand why that’s so complicated, particularly with Iran. Why are we putting crushing sanctions on them, enforcing them? Bankrupting them. Telling the rest of the world any efforts at a black market to assist that country will be met with force. We will confront you on the season in the air, wherever you are. They talk about the 6 billion, it’s in a special account they get. Well, why not freeze it? And why are we freezing all the money going to the Palestinians? In other words, why don’t we get back to what Trump did in spades and in force? And the answer is because Biden’s not going to do that. And Obama wouldn’t want to do it either, right? Yeah, Well, look, you know, I remember and show you more when the Trump administration cut off funds to the Palestinian Authority for its pay to slay fund giving monetary rewards to families of suicide bombers. And that means Hamas, Hezbollah and also Iran. And we used to we used force to to basically convey our message when needed to do so that this administration won’t do it either. This whole group that you see there, and they talk about bringing adults into the room, they’re not adults and they’re basically selling Israel down the river, whether they’re talking about all they want. And they’re going to have to back and they’re going to have to back the only real ally we’ve got in the Middle East, the only democratic ally with Israel. And the fact that we’re not doing that as hard as we can is a huge mistake. I think sending the carrier battle group is a good idea because not because of the airplanes. It’s because there’s over 400 Tomahawk land attack missiles in there. If something really does break out, there’s an ability to use those. But you’ve got to have the will to do that. And I’m not sure this president does or this administration does either. And that’s the fact that we see. It’s really it’s you know, it’s actually what you see, that the scenes were horrific and they haven’t done anything. I mean, look, Obama today to say something, it took it’s taken a while for Biden even go on television. And and I’m just stunned that more things haven’t been said. They should have been people should have been on the first day people have been standing up and saying, this is wrong. This will not stand. This will not happen. Obama just tweeted this almost three days in. All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. Why did that take him? Three days? He goes on. We grieve for those who died praying for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage and stand squarely alongside our ally Israel as it dismantles Hamas. And we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror. We must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike. That last sentence is amazing to me. If the Palestinians don’t want a just and lasting peace, why are we striving to help them? Because that’s been always the policy work of this administration before that with the Obama and Biden administration before. Remember, John Kerry made the comment there will be no peace in the Middle East without the Palestinians. We and in the Trump administration, we said, no, we’re going to go without them. We’re going to work on economic incentives to bring the other Middle East nations into it. And the Palestinians would come. They’ve not come along. But what they do is they believe that you have to solve the Palestinian issue first. I think they’re wrong on this. And, you know, I remember going when we signed the Abraham Accords out there in front of the White House. I went to the lunch afterwards with next to Tony Blair, the former prime minister of the United Kingdom. And he looked at me and he said, You guys got this one right. We had it wrong. He’s absolutely right. And I don’t know why we do that. We shouldn’t do it. You know, I’m a I’m of the mind, of course, part of my military mind. This is one of those go back and, you know, take a cue from from Ulysses as Grant in civil war, an unconditional surrender. The fact of the matter is, I would say very clearly that the leaders of Hamas, the leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization and even the Hezbollah you have created. You have conducted yourselves in with crimes against humanity. And same thing we did with the Nazis at the end of World War Two. And put them on a listen. You are we are coming for you and we will find you wherever you’re at and we’re going to kill you. It’s that simple. And you make that very clear to them. We did that with Soleimani, and we also did that with that time with Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran. We said after we got Soleimani, we said to Khomeini, You’re next. You kill another American, we’re coming for you. And we were dead serious in the Trump administration about it, is that we went after Baghdadi, did the same thing. And when they need to do that, they need to put some respect and fear into these leaders that are nothing leaders, nothing more than terrorist states. And they haven’t done it. And they need to be hard about. Guitar. I got it, Mark. But this is not harsh to me in a war crime. Problem is, General, we’re stuck with this crowd for another year and a half. We’re stuck. We’re stuck with them for another year and a half. And you and I know what needs to be done. Any really red blooded American who cares about our country and our allies, We all know what needs to be done about it, but it’s not going to be done. And so now Israel has to use this opportunity, in my view. You know, all these world leaders issuing letters and support, but they’re not supporting them. And they betrayed that country. Under different parties and so forth and so on. And now the consequences are being felt. And Biden betrayed that country and the people there with his policies and so forth. And they say we all need to stand together. Whether they mean by that none of them are sending troops in will give the Israelis arms and support. That’s because mostly Congress wants to do it and Biden will follow through. I suppose in some ways. But the fact of the matter is. Talk is cheap. And now these these these the Jewish people, they’re literally what’s happened to their families, their kids. And so, I mean, the number is now way over a thousand, which is an enormous number for a country that has 7 million Jews. So great. They’re putting out their statements like this Obama statement. This statement took him three days to put out because he wanted to be very careful. They looked at every word. They looked at every syllable rather than these bastards and the enemy. We should wipe them out and do everything humanly possible to help the Israelis, right? Yeah, that’s exactly right. I mean, this is this is actually unconstrained warfare and they must treat it that way. It’s a terrorist organization and it’s clear it’s not going to be solved with negotiations. And apparently, I heard I read something today at home who said, well, let’s have some peace discussions. I said, my my attitude is to be simple answer no. And I would go for this unconditional surrender and just completely eliminate the organization. But I’ll tell you, Mark, I really mean this. You have to go after leadership. This is one of those you say to the leaders, we’re coming after you. I don’t care where you are. I don’t care if you’re hiding a box in the refrigerator. We’re going to come find you and make sure they understand it and then follow through with that. You know, that’s happened before and we need to do it again. This this was a crime against humanity. And for people not to understand that, then they don’t understand the moral imperative of never again. There are parallels in behavior. We’re seeing it now and we need to stop it full stop right now. And President Trump took out the top terrorist in Iran. Remind everybody what happened to Yamamoto. You know, the the great military mind that the Japanese of the Japanese war machine remind everybody what we did to him when we shut him down. I mean, we actually did Bougainville. We actually were able to breakthrough intelligence, find out where he’s flying. We put a bunch of P-38 aircraft in the air and shot him out of the sky. And that’s the same thing. You see leaders and nobody, by the way. No, it didn’t bother anybody. Then it shouldn’t bother anybody. Now, we should understand that if you if you condone what is actually happening, then you are then you are a clear target. You know, Mark, I remember in September 2019, I visited Auschwitz in Poland with Vice President Pence. And, you know, those are the camps have made up the major side of the Nazis. Final solution, the extermination of Jews. When 1 million men, women and children were murdered in the vision was really pretty emotional to me. It was devastating to visit. It ripped a heart. And I remember after boarding Air Force Two, I told the vice president for the first time in my life, I doubt the existence of God. And he stopped me. He said, No, it was not God that caused this. It was man that make man pay for it. And they have to do that. They have to hold these people accountable. They’re the ones who sent these these terrorists on their way, and they’re the ones they need to go after as well and make sure they never, ever do it again. General, I want to thank you very, very much. We’re going to have to counter what’s going to be now the propaganda of the Holocaust, denying New York Times and much of the rest of the media. They’re going to do the same thing. They Israel, they always do. Maybe they have a little chart like they always do. And how many Palestinians, you know, have lost their lives in Gaza Strip or Hamas knows how many Palestinians there are. It’s the most dense area on the face of the world. Didn’t Hamas know it’s the most, you know, densely. We don’t need lectures about that. They’re going to have the tallies you see. Tell me real fast yester now going World War two, did we keep a tally on how many Germans, Italians and Japanese we were killing during the war? Yeah. I mean, you’re talking hundreds of thousands were killed. I’m saying, did we have it on TV? And they say, Look at this. We’ve killed this. We’ve killed them. No, we did. We didn’t. But I think it would. Mark, I think it’s okay to have it on TV. I think the world needs to see this. And no, I don’t see it, cause that’s not why they’re not doing it. To show the world they’re doing it to put pressure on Israel not to complete the task. That’s what they keep doing. That’s what they done last time. No, that’s that’s that’s an effort to use propaganda. Look at the Jews. They lost a thousand people and they’ve killed 3000 people. That’s that’s what that’s all about. General, I got to go. Ha! Break my producers in my ear. Thank you. God bless you, General. We’ll be right back.

Segment 4
Welcome back. Welcome back, America. As the media start building their wall around the Biden administration and their policies. Mark, why? Let me tell you something. If we don’t call a spade a spade, then we can’t hold people to account. There’s a reason why these Nazis didn’t attack the Jews the four years in the prior administration. And there’s a reason why they did. A few days ago. Our policies mightily contributed to this. Our policies mightily funded this. There’s no getting around that. The Israelis will have to figure out what happened on their end. But I know what happened on our end. Folks, we’ve been talking about this for two and a half years under Biden, and we talked about it for eight years under Obama. There’s simply no question about it. Well. That’s where we are. And we’re going to discuss this at greater length. We’re going to have you on the program. We’re going to have McCarthy on the program, and we will dig deeply into this more. Because I’ll tell you what, this could happen to us, too. Because Iran is on the precipice of getting nuclear weapons, it can hit our country. You see what they’ve done to those Jewish babies? The mothers and the grandmothers and the grandfathers and the girls. One of their commanders said. Either recently or not. This isn’t just about the Jews. It’s about the Christians. It’s about the atheists, the non-believers. And I’ll use my phrase. The soft Muslims. They all need to be killed. They all need to be destroyed. That’s what the Koran tells us to do. This is a Hamas commander. You know, the the terrorists hit us on 911. They’ve hit us over and over and over again. And these clowns talk about climate change. I’ll be right back.
