Mark Levin used his opening statement on Fox News' "Life, Liberty & Levin" on Sunday night to hit back at people who say the Iran war cost Republicans the midterms, and at those who blame Israel for it.
"As far as the war goes, such as it is, victory changes everything," Levin said. He argued that once Iran is beaten, the price of gasoline will "drop like an anchor because there'll no longer be any threats of any kind in the Middle East from Iran, from Hezbollah and from Hamas," and that China, North Korea and Russia would lose their grip on one of the most important regions in the world.
He called the claim that Trump was pulled into the war a "constant attack on Jews and Israel." "That somehow the president blindly was dragged into a war," Levin said, "a president who has stated again and again for nearly half a century that Iran must not have nuclear weapons, a president who has said again and again, as recently as the other day, the decision was a right decision."
"I look forward to the glorious day when that regime is finished and 90 million Persians will be free and will be joining us, the free world," he said. "But I want you to remember all the people who want us to surrender to this regime."
Doing nothing, Levin said, is what let Iran kill American troops, attack U.S. embassies and plot to assassinate the president, and would let it build ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads that could reach the United States. "President Trump is not a neocon. He's not a warmonger," he said. "He's doing what he's doing because he loves his country."
His bottom line: "Chin up, chest out, back straight. We're not going anywhere."
