Mark Levin RIPS Biden-Harris for ENABLING Iran 1 year after Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel

On the 1-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, Glenn Beck speaks with Mark Levin about where the world is now: American hostages are still in Gaza, people around the world are protesting Israel, and Kamala Harris is offering money to Lebanon after Israel's attacks on Hezbollah! Mark Levin puts it bluntly: our "pathetic, weak" government was appeasing and subsidizing Iran way before the Oct. 7 attack, and it continues to do so today. "This administration has a ton of blood on its hands," Levin says. "We are subsidizing the modern-day Nazis!" Levin also has some choice words for Kamala Harris after her recent response to a question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ...

GLENN: Mr. Mark Levin.

How are you, sir?

MARK: I'm good. I must know you played fort chiefs. Very cool.

Do you have a ring?

GLENN: Yeah. Three of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, first of all, how are you feeling? How is your leg?

MARK: Dragging behind me. But we're good. I don't recommend tearing your tendon on your quad and your knee. I don't recommend it.

GLENN: Yeah.

MARK: It tore right in half.

GLENN: Did it really?

MARK: Yeah. Anyway, enough of me. How about you?

GLENN: Yeah.

Let's talk about Israel. 365 days ago.
In fact, do we still have the counter up? Yeah. There it is.

We put a counter up, counting the number of days. There have been hostages. We're at 365 today.

366. If you're counting by Israel time.

And still, nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

And today is the anniversary. What are your thoughts?

MARK: You know, my thoughts are, leading up to October 7th, our government, not only appeased Iran, but subsidized Iran. Sent an Iran special, this guy Mali, who you're family with. To negotiate with the Iranians.

They saw this. They saw the most pathetic, weak, American administration ever.

And we were giving them money for our hostages. $6 billion.

We were not enforcing the restrictions. Money was pouring into that country.

They built up their military. They built up their economy, which was teetering.

And I think they figured, you know what, what the hell is Biden going to do, if we unleash Hamas?

They knew it unleashed Hamas and Hezbollah. Hamas attacked on the 7th. Hezbollah started filing missiles on the 8th.

And they were right, in many respects.

This administration has a ton of blood oats hands. Still does.

And the reason why the hostages aren't out, in many respects. First of all, Hamas is a blood lust terrorist operation.

They don't care about these hostages. That's number one.

Number two, they've had any comfort, from this administration, for from day one, where Blinken put out a tweet and then pulled it back, demanding that Israel enter into a cease-fire. They have tied Israeli's arms behind their back. They have cut off arms. They have cut off funds. They have actually allowed more funds to flow into Iran by far, than into Israel. They're still cutting off arms than into Israel. They still are cutting off arms. They publicly, privately, trashed Netanyahu. They leaked against the Israelis. They try to coup against Netanyahu. When they're trying to bring guns. And these other reprobates, that he had in his national security cabinet into the United States, to try to figure out how to topple him.

This is a very evil, diabolical administration. And they want to do to Israel, what they did to Afghanistan. Let's just get out. Let's call a victory. And Israel can't call a victory. Because it won't survive. And its people will be called out.

Even now, they are trying to bribe Israel, and blackmail Israel and not getting Iran's nuclear sites, which need to be eliminated.

GLENN: Yeah. Why would you do that? Why would you do that?

MARK: I'll tell you why. There was a piece written in the tablet. Tablet.com, a year ago. Michael Duran, and another gentleman. And he said, that Obama -- remember, Blinken was his deputy Secretary of State.

Obama, Biden, Blinken. And, yes, Harris.

Their ideology is that Israel cannot be the most powerful military in the Middle East. That we can work with Iran. So Iran can balance off Israel.

They're sympathetic to Iran, believe it or not, anyway.

Because they think, with the Shah of Iran, that we install him.

And that it's American imperialism. And colonialism.

And Khomeini, the first one. His reaction to American colonialism and imperialism. And we just need to work with these people. It is so perverse.
It is so outrageous. And so they want to weaken Israel. Strengthen Iran.

And I'm sitting there thinking, three-fourths of the people of Iran, want to overthrow that government. Iran. It's Iran that overthrew the Lebanese government, through Hezbollah. It's Iran that helped Syria slaughter half a million of its people to stay into power.

It's Iran, that is taking over Iraq, with all the blood that we shed there.

It's Iran that's destroying Yemen. But these are people are out of their minds. And they're trying to assassinate Donald Trump. And, you know, yesterday, Glenn Beck. Yesterday, we gave the okay for South Korea to release the funds to another country. $6 billion to Iran. So Iran sees this. They hear Biden say, Israel, don't do the deathblow against Iran.

And so they feel they can do things that they never would get away with under a Trump or for that matter under a Reagan. Or for that matter under a Clinton.

It's just unbelievable.

GLENN: Yeah. You know, the idea that we caused all this, in '79.

Okay. Let's just give you that. In the same way, that I'll give you or you should give me, that the United States, under Woodrow Wilson, created the conditions, in Germany, that brought us to World War II.

It was the Paris peace treaty, that was just a nightmare.

Okay. We didn't then cozy up, to the Nazis, and say, well, you know what, we kind of caused this. So let's just -- let's just prop him up.

That would have been insanity. And it is exactly the same insanity.

MARK: You know, it's very interesting. Neville Chamberlain, peace in our time of appeasement. Neville Chamberlain never subsidized the Nazis.

We are subsidizing the modern day Nazis. $100 billion is floating into their country.

Because we won't enforce these sanctions. Because we give them money for hostages. We're trying to buy our way. Subsidize our way in.

Joe Biden is an absolute buffoon. But Harris is an ideologue.

Harris is under Obama's wing. And Harris despises the state of Israel. And is constantly trashing their elected leader, Netanyahu.

GLENN: Yeah. Listen to this.

This is from CBS. Face the nation. Cut 18.

Here's Kamala yesterday.

VOICE: Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister Netanyahu?

KAMALA: I think, with all due respect, the better question is, do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people?

And the answer to that question is question yes.

GLENN: Well, wait a minute.

Hang on just a second.

Because I think we had an important alliance, you know, in the Cold War, between the American people, and the Russian people. What she's saying is, the government of Israel, we don't have an alliance with.

Isn't she?

MARK: Think about this. This is a representative government. That is a (inaudible) government. Netanyahu today, is the most popular figure in the state of Israel. Because what he's done to Hezbollah, what he's about to do to Iran.

You can't say to a democracy, we have a relationship with the people, but not be people that choose their leaders. As I said, they tried to take him out several times. Through a coup. Through his cabinet. Is a disgusting statement. She doesn't talk about Xi that way. She doesn't talk about Putin that way.

She doesn't talk about the Islamic Nazi who runs Tehran that way. She talks about Netanyahu that way.

Why? Because the fact is, and I'll say it, she's evil. And he's an anti-Semite.

Her father was a Marxist. Her pastor is a Marxist. Anti-Israel.

You know, I've said it many times, Glenn.

If you hate America, you hate Israel. If you hate Israel, you hate America. Why?

Because we share this Judeo-Christian belief system, because the Holy Land is the Holy Land for the Jews and the Christians. And what Israel is trying to do is defend itself. It was attacked by Hamas. It attacks Hamas. If it was attacked by Hezbollah, it attacks Hezbollah.

If it's attacked by Iran, it attacks Iran.

And people say, they're really under attack, on seven sides.

We're attacking on eight sides.

We're withholding weapons from them. They're running out of bombs to take on Iran. The reason why they're withholding 2,000-pound bombs isn't using those in Gaza. Because we don't want them to take out those nuclear sites.

And they need 2,000-pound bombs to do that. Just think about this.

I told the Iranians today.

That Biden and Israel, is to not hit the nuclear sites and not to hit the oil sites.

Well, those are the sites that they need to hit. In order to -- the people there, they're just waiting to rise up again.

GLENN: I know they are.

MARK: And Obama did nothing when they rose up the first time. Biden did nothing when they rose up the second time. And now they're strengthening this genocidal regime, that brutalizes its own people.

And when you're 157 million to Lebanon. Lebanon is controlled by Hezbollah. The Lebanese people hate Hezbollah. The Syrian people hate Hezbollah. Because they went in there to help Hasad retain his power there.

So think about this, Iran is taking over Iraq. Iran has destroyed Yemen. Iran and Russia controls Syria, Iran controls Lebanon.

And all our pressure is on the state of Israel.

Thirty percent of our Navy is sitting around in the Mediterranean there. Rather than tell Israel, we have your back, do what you need to do. I don't know why they're sitting there, to be perfectly honest at this point.

GLENN: I know.

All right. Mark, hang on for just one minute. I want to talk to you about what this means in the future. And also Trump and the election.

GLENN: So, Mark, I happen to believe that anything could happen between here and the election. And anything could happen after the election. I think we are a country that seems to be itching for World War III.

Do you agree with me, or not?

MARK: I don't know if we're itching for World War III. But I know other countries are. And we're not prepared for it. They've been slashing the United States military. They've been prioritizing wokism instead of preparedness.

I talked to a number of people inside. Real people, real generals, and they said, look, we don't have what we need for a two-front war. If China invades Taiwan, there's very little we can do about it. Our own inventoried weapons have been depleted significantly. Our troop levels, other than the Marines are way underneath what they're supposed to be. So if we're itching for World War III, we sure as hell are not prepared for it.

GLENN: Yeah.

MARK: I think what we have here is a leadership that is diabolical. If not evil. We have leadership that is geological. We have leadership that is incompetent and lazy.

And if you look, not just at our defense posture. But all around us.

We have a government now, that is destroying the institutions, that have been built up for hundreds of years. Our military.

Our -- our domestic police forces. Our economic system.

Our border.

We have revolution by immigration.

We have all kinds of things that are taking place, and I would argue, to empower the Democrat Party. Where the Democrat Party becomes a monopolistic party.

Every aspect of our Constitution is under attack. Separation of powers. The independence of the Supreme Court.

The electoral college. The filibuster. Which isn't in the Constitution. But protects from us factions like this current one.

They don't believe in our country. They don't believe in our Constitution. They don't believe in our people.

Which is why they're trying to -- the New York Times said, quote, unquote, tried to reshape the electorate. They don't believe in the electoral system. They don't mind us going through an electoral system as long as they win.

And so they don't believe in our military either.

So what they're doing is they're creating provocations. I would argue.

Where, Xi looks at this. Putin looks at this.

And they look at it. All the other genocidal monsters look at it and say, you know what, we pretty much can do whatever the hell we want to do.

Even in Ukraine. You and I may have a difference of opinion on this.

GLENN: That's all right.

MARK: What we're doing to Ukraine is horrendous. Is horrendous. I'll tell you why.

We don't really want Ukraine to win. So people are dying by the tens of thousands. You're getting just enough arms to put up a defense. But not enough arms to actually protect our country.

GLENN: But isn't that the way we fight wars now?

MARK: It is. And that's the way they want Israel to fight their war. And Netanyahu is saying, no damn way.

We have to take these guys out. And so you're 100 percent right. These forever wars are intentional. Are intentional.

And this thing with Ukraine and Russia, if Trump doesn't get elected, it will either be a forever war. Or Russia will wind up winning anyway. Because now they create an axis between Russia and China.

Which for half a century, we have prevented.

GLENN: I know. I know.

MARK: North Korea and Iran. It's very serious. You're right. I don't know if they're itching for World War III, but certainly the conditions exist. And it's a five alarm right now.

GLENN: Yeah. So tell me a couple of things. Because I only have a couple of minutes left with you.

The thought of the hurricane relief. What's happening on that.

What do you know, is happening on the ground

And how is this going to affect the election?

What are your just on the election?

MARK: Fiscal, thank you for what you and your group is doing. You're a great patriot, Glenn. You really are.

I'm very concerned. Because we're talking about half a million people, who have been affected in a horrendous way by this hurricane.

It just turns out. Particularly North Carolina. Yeah, it looks like 80, 90 percent Republican vote. So this is a big problem.

Turns to FEMA. I read a report that, you know, Trump and Pence before hurricanes, used to have these pre-hurricane meetings, which is what every administration has done. Kamala Harris didn't attend a single one, and now we have this massive hurricane.

It will cut right through the heart of Florida, which is also pretty much a Republican state. I see no urgency. Do you see an urgency here?

GLENN: No. No.

MARK: Nothing.

GLENN: If this were -- look what happened with George Bush and Katrina, how they just slaughtered him on that.

Here's a second hurricane. We now know that Helene is as much damage as Katrina.

Nobody is even reporting it. Really, in the mainstream media. About what's really going on in the ground.

And how things need to change.

And now you have a second one, coming in on shore, on Wednesday.

And they don't seem to be prepared.

MARK: No, and Harris announces 157 million to Lebanon.

GLENN: Yeah, I know.

MARK: What?

GLENN: I know.

MARK: And people aren't noticing, yesterday. We gave the okay for South Korea to release the $6 billion which will flow to Iran. What the hell is going on here?

It's stunning.

GLENN: It's amazing. Thank you so much, Mark. For everything that you do every day.

I appreciate it. It's an honor to work on the same network with you.

God bless you.

MARK: God bless you, brother.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Why Your Actions Matter More Than Words in the Eyes of God

Glenn Beck and Eric Metaxas expose the spiritual crisis gripping America’s churches — a moment they compare to Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s warning before World War II. As the culture descends into moral confusion, too many Christians retreat into silence, claiming faith while refusing to act. Together, they argue that true belief demands courage — that “faith without works is dead” — and warn that neutrality in the face of evil is itself a form of complicity.

Watch the FULL Interview HERE

Is Socialism replacing the American dream?

The American Dream used to mean freedom and the chance to build your own life through hard work, faith, and independence. But today, it’s been replaced by comfort, consumption, and debt. Glenn Beck breaks down how America traded liberty for lifestyle, why socialism is gaining ground, and what it will take to reclaim the real American Dream before it disappears for good.

GLENN: I don't know if you saw the visualizing the American dream, Stu.

You know, what the American dream actually is, is that you can forge your own way.

You can -- you know, you can have a scrap of land, and grow your own food if up.

You can, you know, go to school. Not go to school.

You can find a job. If you're qualified for it, you have an equal chance of getting it, you know, based on merit.

But the percentage of Americans who say the American dream is retirement is 86 percent. Health care, 86 percent. Owning a home, 85. Raising two kids, 78. Owning a car, 72. Vacations, 71. Pets, 66. A wedding, 55 percent. That's the American dream, I can get married.

The American dream, if that's what you think, they've now estimated, the cost per household over the cost -- over the lifetime, retirement is $1.6 million. Owning a home now, 30-year mortgage, 20 percent you want to, is $957,594. Owning a car, buying and finance to begin with new cars every ten years is now $900,000 over your lifetime. Raising two kids to 18, plus four years of public college, $876,092. Two kids. Health care, over your lifetime, spending from ages 22 to 85, $414,000. Vacations, annual vacation from '22 to '85, $180,000. One dog and one cat for 11 to 13 years is $40,000!

That's more expensive than a wedding. The engagement ring, the ceremony, and the reception is now estimated to be $38,200.

There's a reason socialism is doing well. You look at that, and you're like, wow. I mean, if that's the American dream. And for a lot of people, that is the American dream!

That's not what the American dream is supposed to be, but, you know, once -- you know, once Woodrow Wilson and FDR got a hold of us and they started advertising, it became stuff instead of freedom. It became stuff. And, you know, when there's a new report out. Let me see if I have that.

There's a new report out now that shows, first time home buyers made up just 21 percent of the home purchases. That's the lowest on record.

The typical age of repeat buyers hit an all-time high of '62. The median downtowns, reaching 23 percent.

The highest since 2023.

And also, where is it?

The last one is -- the median age for first time home buyers, in 1981, it was 29 years old.

I'm sorry. Yeah. Twenty-nine years old. In 2021, it was 33 years old.

What is it this year?

Median age, first time homeowner, forty.

You're 40 before you can buy any kind of home. That puts these things that people want, dream about, out of reach, until you're 40?

You know, 29 is one thing. But if you're not seeing -- you're not seeing your life really kind of settling down until you're 40, I -- I can understand why you're like, you know what, this system doesn't work.

Because you've never seen it work. It's betrayed you.

Or so you've been sold. It's betrayed you.

And everything is being pushed out of your reach. And when you're young, the one thing you're not is patient.

And at 40, I can see why people are not, you know, yeah. Well, socialism is neat because capitalism isn't working. How would you respond to that?

STU: I mean, it's more lengthy than we have time for. But I would say that the response to, you know, you thinking that you want a home is not to embrace an ideology that murders 100 million people.

That's not -- that's not a good answer to the problem that you think you have.

GLENN: But they're not learning that anywhere.

They're not -- that is our responsibility! To teach those things. Because they're not learning it anywhere.

Glenn Beck Warns of 3 Economic Outcomes That Could Change EVERYTHING | Ep 467

Socialism is spreading fast among America’s youth, and the shocking election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani for mayor in New York City marks a major cultural and economic shift. Glenn exposes how runaway debt, record home prices, AI job disruption, and the collapsing stake in capitalism have led many Millennials and members of Gen Z to embrace socialism and communism. He reveals the three possible economic futures for 2026: two that are disastrous and one that could change everything if the Trump administration’s global financial overhaul succeeds. Plus, Justin Haskins, president of the Heartland Institute, joins to reveal some terrifying truths about why young Americans are embracing socialism from a poll he conducted with Rasmussen Reports.

The world is about to realize the DEADLY enemy we face

"The world doesn't understand yet. We're already in World War III," Glenn Beck warns. "That foe is not China. That foe is militant Islam." Glenn explains the battle we're currently facing and what's to come if we don't wake up soon...

GLENN: From New Jersey, it's Brian. Hello, Brian.

CALLER: Hello!

GLENN: Hey.

CALLER: Yeah. Thanks for taking the calls today.

GLENN: Sure.

CALLER: Yeah. I'm worried that we are headed towards another French Revolution-style because we have entire generations. Or actually people just not being heard by their representatives.

GLENN: Hmm.

CALLER: And it's not just here. It's around the world.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

I -- actually, I had scheduled for this time, I'll just do it some other time. Talking about what's happening in -- in England.

I think England is headed for a Civil War. And -- and it's very close.

I mean, you can't put 4,000 people. 4,000 people, in jail, or try them for hate crimes. And speech crimes.

You can't -- you can't do it. In England!

You can't do that in one year. And expect people to just put up with it!

You can't -- you know, we're -- we're -- America doesn't understand yet.

The world doesn't understand.

We're in World War III. We're already in World War III.

I don't know when it becomes a hot war. Or even a war that we on our side recognize. But we are in World War III. And that -- that foe is not China.

That foe is militant Islam, period. And, you know, when we have a situation to where people are -- when the government is just like, no. It's not a problem.

It's not a problem. You know. You've got illegals all over.

It's not a problem.

It's not a problem.

It is a problem. Don't tell me what -- what the problems are not!

Because we're the ones living it!

You're the experts, who keep telling us, no. It's going to work out fine.

And it doesn't work out fine. And it just gets worse and worse.

Oh. We can spend this money. No. It looks like we can't spend this money. Oh, we can afford this. No. It looks like we can't afford this.

You know, if we do this with Ukraine, it will work out fine. No, it didn't, did it? These endless wars, all of this stuff, don't tell me what the problem is. Listen to the people and start talking to the people. Honestly, this is the reason why I'm doing this today. I -- I need to hear from you.

I need to know what's on your mind, so I stay focused and -- and clear on what America is saying.

Because I don't think -- look, you know, me taking phone calls is -- is not a true representation of anything, but it does give me a sense of -- of where you are, as an audience. Maybe not as America, but as an audience. And there are lots of things that concern me. But I want to hear it from you.
But I think you're right! We're headed for real, real trouble. All you need is real economic trouble.

You start getting real, true economic trouble. 1930s kind of depression stuff. And we're in Civil War.

Dan, Oregon. Welcome!

CALLER: Hello, Glenn. How are you?

GLENN: I'm great!

CALLER: Yeah. Good. It's been a long time.

I guess it's been over ten years, since I've had a chance to talk with you. I was one of your first insiders. I was listening to you, since you were in Florida.

GLENN: Wow. Wow.

CALLER: So it's been a long -- yeah. It has been. And I can't say I've enjoyed all of it.
(laughter)

GLENN: Neither have I!

STU: I can't say that either, I'll be honest with you.

CALLER: You know, you were talking on yesterday's show, reminiscing with Stu about how you guys started. And I remember those old shows. And, you know, at the end of the -- the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Right.

CALLER: And there was a lot more entertainment. I remember I laughed a lot.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. I know. I know. Those days are long dead.
(laughter)

STU: There's nothing to laugh about now.

CALLER: Yeah. I -- I'm 78. I still work 40 hours a week. I love my job.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: Been married for 55 years. I have seven kids.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: I've got a daughter -- I've got a daughter who is in her 40s. And she has severe TDS. She -- we don't -- I mean, we're not cutting each other off. She hasn't done that at all. We're still very close as a family. But she was down visiting the other day, and got into a conversation with my wife. And I wasn't in the room. But Kathy said it was just like listening to one of those young people out on the street that was being interviewed by the news media. And she was -- and she was in tears about it. My wife and my daughter both.

And, I mean, I love her, and I continue to support her. She's a single woman, not by choice. She just never found the right guy.

GLENN: Yeah.

CALLER: And I really think that's part of the problem. Because she started reading -- back when Trump was first running, she started reading all of this stuff about him being misogynistic and all of this stuff.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

CALLER: And it's just gotten worse. I -- I'm at a loss. I really am. Because I -- like, I see the country doing better. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. But I still feel like that at least right now, we're doing better as a whole. But what do we do about -- what do we do about our kids about -- she went to Portland State University for the last two --

GLENN: Oh, jeez, for the love of --

CALLER: Well, yeah. For the last two years, she went to -- she went to a little college in Idaho called Ricks for the first two years, and Utah State.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

CALLER: And then she served a mission for our church in Brazil and came home, but then she went to Portland State University. And it just seems to have gone downhill from there.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. So, Dan, I think you are suffering from the same thing that almost all parents are suffering from. If you're not suffering from this, then, I mean, God bless you. You know, get on your knees and thank God. Because you are a lucky, lucky family. Everybody has in their family. I have it in my family.

And you have to ask yourself, what is your goal?

My -- what is your goal with your daughter? Your real goal?

CALLER: My real goal is for us to be united eternally. That's my goal. That's my goal as a father and has been to teach her --

GLENN: And how -- and how is that going to happen with politics?

CALLER: We just stay together as a family regardless of what politics does.

GLENN: That's exactly right. Exactly right.

I think we're in a place now where as parents, you can ask your kids, but it has to be honest. It cannot be trying to win. It has to be honest. How did you get there?

I mean, I remember. You know, we've talked about this before. And you didn't believe that before. What has changed?

Can you help me with that?

I would like to see what you're reading, or what that was.

And just ask questions. But they have to be honest. They can't be, you know, because I'm setting you up. Because I want to change your mind.

But keep a dialogue open with them. And just love them!

Just love them!

Because if you do anything else, you're going to drive them away. And then they're really lost. So just love them.

CALLER: Oh, I know that. Glenn, when she was young -- when she was young, I considered her one of the elect. And the Scripture says, that in the last days, even the elect are going to be deceived. And that's what I'm seeing. But everything you've said, I -- I am doing. I'm doing it that way. Because I know --

GLENN: Okay. Good. Then you didn't need to -- I appreciate it. I'm so glad you called me. But you didn't need to -- my advice, you already have it down. You're a very wise man.
