Mark Levin RIPS Into NATO Over Zero Military Assistance

[00:00:00]Mio Mio pizza pie.

[00:00:06]Mio Mio pizza pie. You know what? Let's open the phones. 877-381-3811.

[00:00:11]I wasn't even going to do this. I've now spooked Mr. Producer and Mr. Call Screener.

[00:00:18]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.

[00:00:28]You look what what England with its quisling leader, so-called leader, Starmer has done to their military, has done to their country.

[00:00:40]He won't lift a finger to support us. You look at France, Macron, the president I spent a lot of time with him. I'm not sure why, but he won't lift a finger to help us, either.

[00:00:52]Troubling, isn't it?

[00:00:53]We're taking a third of our jets out of there, apparently.

[00:00:58]>> [snorts] >> Then you look at this little country of Israel, 9 9 and 1/2 million people.

[00:01:04]The third largest air force in the world.

[00:01:08]Some of the best fighters in the world.

[00:01:10]Some of the best intelligence in the world.

[00:01:12]We didn't go to war with Iran on our own.

[00:01:16]The president decided to go to war. He wanted to take out those nukes, correctly, absolutely 100%.

[00:01:24]And we allied with Israel.

[00:01:27]The Saudis weren't involved.

[00:01:29]Qatar wasn't involved. Egypt wasn't involved. Turkey, a NATO country, they weren't involved. Who was involved?

[00:01:38]So, together the United States and Israel were a one-two punch, incredibly powerful.

[00:01:45]Within 24 hours, Khomeini was taken out.

[00:01:50]The top tier was taken out.

[00:01:54]That took a lot of intelligence, mostly the Mossad and human intelligence in Iran that had been working with Israel from day one.

[00:02:06]Our Air Force, our Navy, the the munitions we have are second to none.

[00:02:14]And Israel is a mighty, mighty powerful force for a tiny country, for any country.

[00:02:20]Israel has a larger Air Force than France and a larger Air Force than England, for God's sakes, and a larger Air Force than Germany. And it's now selling advanced technology, military technology, to Germany and India and Greece and other countries.

[00:02:38]It has improved our F-35.

[00:02:42]It improved our Bradley because of so many battles that they've had to fight.

[00:02:52]So, why would we pick a fight with Israel?

[00:02:56]What is going on? They out of control?

[00:03:00]Is the Prime Minister an issue?

[00:03:03]Well, they weren't out of control and he wasn't an issue last June when they cleared the field for 12 days in Iran.

[00:03:12]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 28th.

[00:03:19]>> [snorts] >> As I recall, our great Secretary of War and our great head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Hegseth and Keane, they had daily press conferences talking about the great achievements of our military side by side.

[00:03:35]In fact, talking about like they've they've never done this before. We've never seen anything like this before.

[00:03:44]Now, 3 months later, Netanyahu is a crazy F.

[00:03:53]He can't be restrained?

[00:03:57]Because Hezbollah is firing missiles and flying drones into their country on a daily basis under what's called a ceasefire.

[00:04:10]And they're literally having to move their population, depopulate northern Israel.

[00:04:15]Now, that's like depopulating northern New Jersey. It's a tiny country.

[00:04:20]And then they started firing these these missiles and sending these drones into central Israel. All at the direction of Iran. All at the direction of Iran.

[00:04:32]This Hezbollah has murdered hundreds and hundreds of our service personnel including Marines, over 200 Marines at a Marine Barracks in Beirut. I believe J.D. Vance was a Marine, wasn't he, Mr. Producer?

[00:04:51]They blew up two of our embassies.

[00:04:53]Killed over 100 of our personnel.

[00:04:56]Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, more military personnel slaughtered.

[00:05:05]That's just three instances.

[00:05:08]Hezbollah was never part of Lebanon. Hezbollah was sent into Lebanon by Iran in the late '70s, during the revolution in the early '80s.

[00:05:19]They assassinated the president, the duly elected president of Lebanon.

[00:05:22]Lebanon really was a beautiful, beautiful country right there on the Mediterranean.

[00:05:28]People had to flee.

[00:05:32]It was a majority Christian country.

[00:05:34]Now, it's about 35%, 40% Christian. They are abused. They are killed.

[00:05:40]They don't want Hezbollah there. The government's not strong enough to push them out because the government's been infiltrated by Hezbollah. The army's too weak.

[00:05:48]It can't It can't outgun Hezbollah.

[00:05:51]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.

[00:06:10]The problem is Iran won't make an agreement unless we agree and the Arab countries agree that Israel leaves Lebanon.

[00:06:23]And stops firing in self-defense.

[00:06:28]NOW, WE GET some mealy-mouthed gibberish from our side which says, "Yeah, you can do it. Just don't do too much. Don't do it on Fridays, you know, don't It's It's just absurd in the middle of a war."

[00:06:42]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.

[00:06:55]The Lebanese government, the president there, has made statement after statement saying Iran has no right to drag us into this agreement.

[00:07:04]That Iran has no say in our sovereign nation.

[00:07:09]And they want Hezbollah disarmed and removed. So, who's going to disarm and remove Hezbollah?

[00:07:15]In the early 1980s, there was an agreement signed that Hezbollah would be disarmed and removed.

[00:07:21]They ripped it up in 2 years, and there they are, decades later.

[00:07:26]But we so desperately want a deal, and I understand it.

[00:07:30]But I'm focusing on one specific point.

[00:07:36]That the language and item number one basically says actually says that there are that the there will be a cessation of military operations and that war is permanently ended.

[00:07:54]Permanently ended even before we have a final deal.

[00:07:57]And within that construct we include Lebanon.

[00:08:06]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.

[00:08:17]Israel is not England. Israel is not France.

[00:08:24]And so it will be Israel that is going to be blamed. That's the setup.

[00:08:29]If the deal, {quote} {unquote}, doesn't go through.

[00:08:34]Now we know that.

[00:08:38]The enemy knows that.

[00:08:41]So what's going on here?

[00:08:44]Well, the enemy sees this and you know what they see? Man, are those Americans desperate.

[00:08:50]So, Hezbollah, you keep firing missiles in there.

[00:08:54]And if Israel responds, of course we'll we'll break down the whole thing.

[00:09:01]>> [snorts] >> So the Vice President made statements today. You can go online and catch it yourself.

[00:09:07]That I thought were way over the top. He's accusing cabinet members of 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.

[00:09:20]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.

[00:09:27]And it's not the first place or the last place where he's done this.

[00:09:35]And then he says, you know, you get 2/3 your arms from us.

[00:09:40]First of all, how does he Where has that number off the top of his head?

[00:09:47]And so the alliance in which Israel provides an enormous amount of intelligence, and they said today, "Hey look, we have provided you with an extreme number of intelligence.

[00:09:56]We've saved a lot of American lives. We wanted to do that."

[00:10:00]And we have a an expert, John Spencer, 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.

[00:10:15]They've They've improved the F-35.

[00:10:17]They've improved most of our our land vehicles.

[00:10:22]They've improved other jets.

[00:10:25]They've improved our missiles.

[00:10:27]And they just give us the technology.

[00:10:29]They're at the cutting edge of lasers.

[00:10:30]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.

[00:10:40]And the Germans are buying that technology, as are other countries.

[00:10:45]Now, this isn't a brag about Israel, let's 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 $3.8 billion. Think about that, $3.8 billion.

[00:11:06]Of the $3.8 billion, never leaves our country. $3.3 billion of it stays right here and goes right into our our industries, paying for American jobs and pensions and and health care.

[00:11:19]Right here.

[00:11:21]It's just a budget a budget change.

[00:11:25]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 $3.8 billion from the Treasury. Do whatever you want with it.

[00:11:34]That's not what it is.

[00:11:41]It's just very troubling to me.

[00:11:44]That that's that's the way they're treating in a memorandum of understanding after they fought side by side with us. You don't treat an ally that way.

[00:11:52]Or you're not going to have a lot of allies. That's the problem with NATO. We have allies in in name only, on paper only.

[00:11:59]And we may well need them again because Iran's not going away.

[00:12:04]$300 billion. I I looked it over.

[00:12:09]I've heard how this was explained.

[00:12:11]But the way it's being explained isn't the way it's in the in the memorandum of understanding. The bottom line for you folks is this.

[00:12:18]They're going to get around 300 billion. Could be more.

[00:12:24]Not directly from us.

[00:12:26]First, it'll be given to Muhammad who will give it to Spencer. Spencer will give it to Nancy. Nancy will give it to Fred. Then then Fred will give it to uh the Iranian regime.

[00:12:38]Okay, big deal.

[00:12:39]We're going to lift sanctions immediately.

[00:12:43]Uh we have $24 billion of their money.

[00:12:45]They're going to get the $24 billion.

[00:12:48]The Straits of Hormuz was opened immediately and it's reduced the price of gasoline, which is what we've wanted here.

[00:12:54]But it's not just that.

[00:12:57]There's only a 60-day period a 60-day period, 2 months in which what happens?

[00:13:04]In which there's free unadulterated passage. After that, the Iranians can charge and hence the Iranians will manage it.

[00:13:14]That has never been accepted before.

[00:13:16]When they tried that under Reagan, he blew half their navy away in 24 48 hours.

[00:13:21]And it's a bad precedent because Communist China has claimed the South China Sea as its and it's built all these phony islands. No, that's international navigable waters.

[00:13:31]The Straits of Hormuz, that's international navigable waters.

[00:13:35]But not after this.

[00:13:38]Not after this.

[00:13:40]Oh, and the nuclear part and the enriched uranium part is all the way down number eight out of number 14.

[00:13:46]Number eight.

[00:13:48]And it doesn't say anything about how this will be handled. Nothing.

[00:13:53]Nothing definitive. But don't worry Mark, it'll be 60 days worth. Well, don't give up leverage.

[00:14:00]Don't give up leverage before that issue, nuclear weapons and nuclear dust, that is uranium isn't resolved. IT HAS TO BE RESOLVED.

[00:14:15]BALLISTIC MISSILES AREN'T COVERED.

[00:14:19]Don't fund terror organizations, that's not covered.

[00:14:23]So, I raise all these things because I want them to improve what's been done in the next 60 days in this deal that is inevitable.

[00:14:33]So, let me tell you what nobody else is going to tell you in this business, not one.

[00:14:38]The uh I see the ambassador to the US from Israel posted the following on Twitter yesterday.

[00:14:47]Hamas fired into Israel at 10:15, one IED, at 10:57 two explosive UAVs.

[00:14:56]At 12:35 nine rockets, at 12:37 two rockets.

[00:15:00]At 12:51 one ballistic missile. At 12:46 two rockets.

[00:15:06]At uh 13:04 six rockets.

[00:15:09]At 16:53 two rockets, at 17:31 three rockets, 17:36 one rocket, at 18:24 two rockets, at 18:49 five rockets, at 18:50 five rockets at 1854, two rockets. At 1912, five rockets. At 1921, four rockets. 1937, three rockets. 1946, six rockets. 1256, six rockets. That's just yesterday. Didn't sound like two drones in the middle of a desert to me.
