During the opening monologue of Sunday’s “Life, Liberty & Levin” on the Fox News Channel, host Mark Levin sounded off on the Supreme Court’s deliberations on nationwide injunctions and the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act.
Levin criticized Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett, one of the “conservative” members on the court, for her approach regarding those injunctions during oral arguments.
Transcript as follows:
LEVIN: So it’ll be sort of Constitution Day here, but before I get to that, I’m blessed to have these platforms where I hear from millions of millions of people and speak to tens of millions of people every single day, red blooded Americans. I call them Mr. and Mrs. America.
And in the last week, I have noticed, and they have noticed and are concerned and I am concerned of a growing divide, in fact, what appears to be a hostility against Israel by the United States.
I’m confounded by this. I’m truly confounded by this.
You know, last time around, Israel couldn’t have had a better friend and partner than the administration. But in this last trip, it appears that Israel has been cut out of every significant decision, not even being informed, whether it’s the Houthis, whether it’s deals with Qatar, whether it’s deals with Saudi Arabia, all of this affects Israel, because Israel lives in that neighborhood.
And now the Iran deal, and we see all these reports that there’s a divide, and then everybody comes out and says there’s not a divide. Something’s not right. I don’t have any inside information, but I’ve actually never seen anything like this before.
Israel has the unfortunate circumstance is that when they were — the Jews were wandering in the desert, God put them in a place where there’s no oil. You’ve got these tiny little fiefdoms, these monarchies that have hundreds of billions of dollars, trillions of dollars, maybe they have a population of 300,000 or half a million, enormous sums of money like the world has never seen before.
Israel has none of that. It’s a tiny country. It is a working man and a working woman’s country, that’s what it is.
And so they can never compete if the competition is about finances. They don’t have the gifts. They don’t have the resources to lavish on our businesses, to lavish on our government. But what they do have is that what we share with them is that Judeo Christian values and belief systems that bring Jews and Christians and people together, the same faith, indifference faiths the Holy Land. That’s what ties America and Israel.
People say, what do we get out of this? Everything is not transactional. Everything is not a deal. Some things are much bigger than that, much bigger than that.
I feel we need to have a national discussion about this. I feel that the American people have been cut out of this process. We hear about deals. We hear what the Democrats say, the Republicans say, the administration says, the press says, What about We, the People? What about Mr. And Mrs. America?
Do we like Qatar? Do we like Qatar that protected KSM, the mastermind behind 9/11 who murdered over 2,000 of our American citizens, firefighters, police officers, just work a day people? Most Americans despise that country.
