On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, there are many men and women who were crucial in America’s founding whose names you probably never heard of before. Have you heard of William Samuel Johnson, Richard Bassett, or Jacob Broom? Did you know the Constitutional Convention was attended by 55 or 70 appointed delegates and only 39 of 55 signed the Constitution. Why? Some disagreed and thought it gave too much power to the central government. There are a lot of tremendous patriots, like Haym Salomon, who get no mention and they gave up everything for America. This is why Americans get angry when certain podcaster trash America or promote Middle East monarchies. Also, the FBI director signed two memoranda of understanding for sharing training and intelligence, providing Qatar with sophisticated U.S. military equipment and a facility on an Idaho air base—unprecedented for such a nation. Some will say ‘other countries have this with America’ but not a country that was involved in 9/11 and October 7th. Later, the Democrats and their media think they’ve found a word and an issue in affordability. The Trump economy is already strong and certainly compared to the Biden disaster the president inherited. He has already driven inflation way down. Middle class incomes are up. Gasoline prices have dropped significantly. His entire focus has been on peace and prosperity — that is, peace abroad and prosperity at home. If the Democrats want to campaign on affordability, bring it on. The bigger problem may well be the Woke Reich, who have made clear their intention to sabotage the GOP. If we lose the midterms, it will undoubtedly be due in significant part to them. Finally, we go live to Trump’s speech in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania.

Segment 1
Hello. 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. We’re going to have some fun today. Oh, my gracious goodness. We is. Oh, yes, we be. Oh, you. Couple of things before I get into. Let me tell you one of the things I want to do tonight. I want to start getting into some history of our founding history of the Declaration pre Revolutionary War. The Revolutionary War really started in 1775. And that 1776, to be honest with you, that’s when things were just really starting to kick in the Constitution. Some of the people in the Constitution you’ve never heard of before that who signed it? Who are really big, big deals back in the day, but names that you’re unfamiliar with, you know, this reminds me of something I told you maybe a year ago or six months ago. I have become fascinated with. The impression era of painters, live artists, and slightly before the Impressionist period and slightly after the Impressionist period. But I really read everything I can get my hands on now about some of these artists. Doesn’t mean I can pronounce their names. Most of them were French, not all of them. And it’s funny because I seem to know more about them and what they did than how to pronounce their names. And there are some disputes over how to pronounce your names, but I don’t pretend to know all. And some of them were unbelievable. But they never got top tier billing. They never got top tier billing. Camille Pissarro, one of the founders of the entire movement most people have never heard about. Edward Bowden, another one. And then there were men in the movement and a few women. Alfred. Cicely. No, no. And a lot a lot of this is French for many of you, but I’m getting to a point. He was born in Britain. His family moved to France. Others whose names no doubt you are familiar with Monet, obviously. Considered one of the greatest of the great. Suzanne Geoghegan. Brilliant. Everyone’s heard of Van Gogh. Serrat. Danny was 31, and yet many of you are familiar with their name. You may not be familiar with them and what they did, but the names right. The names. Renoir. In others. I happen to like Shargel. He wasn’t impressionist, but. Satellites, in my view. So what? In some cases, separated those who would become renowned for all time and those who wouldn’t. Because some of those who painted some of the most magnificent impressionist pieces. Are utterly unknown. To the vast majority of us. Right. And others are very, very well known. Now, obviously, it can be the quality of the work or the interest that that work inspired. But. Some of them were much better at marketing themselves. Then others. Some of them played bigger roles, and the prominence with the impressionist movement was considered a very revolutionary, if not radical movement when it began. It’s the same with our founding. It’s the same with our family. The many, many men and women. Who were crucial in the founding of this nation, whose names you probably never heard of before. Whose names you probably never heard of before. And I want us to familiarize ourselves with some of them. Want to begin. Should I begin with this, Mr. Producer? I should, because it’s other things I want to talk about, too, that are that are annoying me. But let’s start with the stuff that I find fascinating. Let’s take a look at some of the soldiers of the Constitution. You know, when this is all said and done broadcasting from me and I don’t know when it’ll be or when it’ll ever be. I really want to teach one course in American history, early American history. Maybe at a small college somewhere. If they’d had me. This is one of the reasons I love our country. There’s one reason I get furious at people who trash it. In the name of claiming that they’re America First or MAGA especially. I get the Marxists and the Islamists. They hate us, they hate the country, they’re trying to destroy it. But the others, they wrap themselves in the flag in the founding, in the Constitution, while they’re burning the whole thing down. I have no stomach for this. None. How many you’ve heard of William Samuel Johnson. Of Connecticut. To signer your Constitution. The self-taught lawyers, many lawyers were back then. He had many connections to Britain. He was torn about this. The competing sides when the revolution broke out in 1775. He worked on some of the peacemaking initiatives he tried. Is accused of communicating with the British in 1779, but his skills in the law were so good. That he was sent to be one of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention. How about Richard? Asset base as he did You ever hear him? He was a delegate from Delaware, the first state. A captain of the Calvary militia during the Revolutionary War, but was a committed member of the convention. He was. A regular attendee. Some of them were not. He was also a quiet one. He made no speeches at all. And he didn’t serve on any committees. Essentially an observer. Ever hear of Jacob Broom, also of Delaware. Sir. Farmer, surveyor, successful businessman. He turned his hand to many ventures. Import company, Cotton Mill, real estate. He attended every session of the Constitutional Convention as well. Also from Delaware. George Read here. George Read one of six brothers. He signed the Declaration of Independence. He voted against independence at the Continental Congress. He championed the cause of the small states during the convention. He eventually went on to serve in the United States Senate, a fairly significant figure that most people never heard of. Couple more. We’ll save some for. Each successive day. We’re on the air here. William Field If GW. On behalf of Georgia. He had a tough childhood. He taught himself. Law began to practice in 1776. He later became one of Georgia’s first senators and worked as a federal judge from 1796 to 1799. One of the men who signed the Constitution of the United States. Now the convention was attended by 55 of the 70 appointed delegates. Did you know there were so many appointed delegate? Only 55 attended. Only 39 of the 55 actually signed the final document. 39 of the 55. We won’t do this all in one sitting. I will get into this in more detail. Why is that? Why didn’t only 39 of them sign it? Some of them disagreed with it. Some of the greatest founders disagree with it because they thought it gave too much power to the central government. So you just learned something you probably didn’t know before? Mr. British, I don’t know if you know, Right. They don’t teach it. There were 70 delegates appointed, 55 attended. 39 of the 55 signed the Constitution of the United States. Now, I suspect, you know, more than 99.9% of the podcasters out there who trash our country. I have always believed that one of my roles here and I mean this. One of my roles here. Is to fill these gaps. I mean, this is a big, big platform, not just a rant and throw around curse words. To lie about our history, to trash our country, to promote Qatar and all the rest of it. No, I want to promote Americanism. The Revolutionary War. When we return, I want to tell you about a man named Haitham Solomon, who none of you have heard of may be a handful, but virtually none of you. And without him, there would have been no victory at the Revolutionary War. There would be no America. That’s how significant he was. And you’re going to find out about a number of these people during the course of our 250th anniversary, because I’m going to make sure of it. We’ll be right back.
Segment 2
Haym Salomon. This is one of the areas Wikipedia actually gets it right. It’s born in 1740 and he died at the age of 44. Born in Poland. Studied finance in Western Europe, came to the United States, New York City in 1775, right at the beginning of the revolution. That’s when war broke out. Solomon supported the Patriots. He provided financial services while working alongside financier Robert Morris. You may have heard of him. He was the superintendent of finance of the United States. Very famous. Very famous member. The Sons of Liberty and the home. Solomon joined the Sons of Liberty, and he was arrested multiple times by the British for espionage. And the last time they said they would execute him and he he bought off a guard who let him go. He’s considered his home and so on, and the financier of the Revolutionary War. And without him, the war could not have been prosecuted. A key times they turned to him. Madison, George Washington. He helped convert French loans into hard currency by selling bills of exchange on Morris’s behalf. He also brokered large donations to the Patrick cause. This included a critical $20,000 loan out of his own money at the request of George Washington to Madison in 1781 that enabled Washington’s decisive Yorktown campaign the turning point of the American independence. Without Solomon, that campaign could not have taken place from 1781 to 1784. Solomon helped provide over 650,000, almost $15 million in today’s numbers. He was also an advocate for religious liberty, co-founded Philadelphia’s Mikva Israel Synagogue in challenging discriminatory laws. Despite donating his entire fortune to the Continental Army and several founding Fathers. He helped them. He gave them no interest loans. So they could survive, including medicine. He died penniless in Philadelphia at the age of 44 due to the failure of government officials and private lenders to repay his debt, the money they owed him. He sympathized with the Patriots. He joined the New York branch, the Sons of Liberty, 1776. He was arrested by the British as a spy. Quickly. Pardon? However, the British authorities detain him for 18 months on a boat as an interpreter for the Haitian troops, since he could speak multiple languages, including German. Solomon used his new position to help prisoners of war from the Continental Army escape. He encouraged Hessian troops to desert, and he collaborated with Hercules Mulligan and Cato to carry out other acts of espionage on behalf of the Americans. In 1778, Solomon was arrested again, convicted of espionage and sentenced to death. He made his escape, made his way with his family to Philadelphia, where the Continental Congress was located. Once resettled in Philadelphia, Solomon resumed his activities as a broker, became the agent of the French consul, as well as the paymaster for all French forces in North America. 1781. He began working extensively with Robert Morris, as I said, the newly appointed superintendent of finance of the United States. And he provided money for the Battle of Yorktown to pay Washington’s troops, who demanded several months of pay or they weren’t going to fight what would become the key battle.
Segment 3
There are a number of tremendous patriots who get no mention. Without whom we would not have the United States of America. And they gave up everything. Everything. And as I was saying earlier, this is why I get infuriated. Infuriated about. The trashing of our country, the promoting of Middle East monarchies and people like Putin and all the rest. This is not who we are. This is not who we are. Back to Haim Solomon. And I really do believe that if the podcast business was more oriented toward promoting America, was more oriented towards patriotism, less oriented toward grifters, narcissists and foulmouthed buffoons, this country would be far better off, particularly given the access to so many young people. And so I condemn them. I condemn them. They’re not influencers. They’re destroyers. Not influencers. They’re destroyers. Washington determined that he needed at least $20,000 to finance the Yorktown battle unless ban on the French navy was there. And they gave him a limited amount of time because they were going to leave. They couldn’t afford to stay there and they didn’t want to be boxed in by the British either. Who they were boxing out. Morris, who was in charge of the funding for the war, told them there were no funds, no credit available. They were broke, dead, broke. Washington said, quote, Send for home Solomon, unquote. Sam did everything he could. He raised $20,000 for the seller bills of exchange, and with that contribution, Washington was able to pay his troops, provide for food and supplies. Before the troops. Munis. They conducted the Yorktown campaign. That was the final battle really of the American Revolution. No, I am solo and brokered the sale. If you haven’t guessed by now, it was Jewish. Brokered the sale of a majority of the war. Aid from France and the Dutch Republic sold bills of exchange to American merchants. Solomon also personally supported various members of the Continental Congress during their stay in Philadelphia. You may have heard of some of them James Madison and James Wilson. He requested below market interest rates. He never asked for repayment at all, and that would wind up with him. Going bankrupt before he died. Broke. Didn’t have a penny. He’s believed to have granted outright bequests to men who he thought were unsung heroes of the revolution, who had become impoverished during the war. One examples. Botero Another person you probably never heard of, He was the senior surgeon in the Continental Army. ARROW Join the Army. At the age of 65 years old. He served for the entire war. And among other things, he established the hospital at Valley Forge. But he often used his own funds to purchase medical supplies. He went broke. But due to Solomon’s bequest, Otto Otto was able to rebuild his medical practice in Redding, Pennsylvania, at the end of the war. A Treaty of Paris was signed on September three, 1783. It ended the Revolutionary War, but not the financial problems of the new nation. America’s war debt to France was never repaid, which was part of the cascade of events leading to the French Revolution. She France went almost broke, sending their armada. To our country. They help us win the war against the British because they wanted to defeat the British. Now, this fella, Haim Solomon, was involved in the Jewish community in Philadelphia, a member of Congregation Mikva, Israel, that he founded. That’s right. The Jewish community goes way back even before the Revolutionary War. 1782, he made the largest individual donation toward the construction of that synagogue. He fought for religious liberty for all faiths. He helped to remove the religious tests for all faiths that included Catholics. And he died suddenly and in poverty at the age of 44, January six, 1785, in Philadelphia. And due to the failure of our government and other governments and private lenders to repay the debt incurred, his family was left penniless when he died at the age of 44. The hundreds of thousands of dollars, which would be tens of millions of dollars today of the continental debt that he bought with his own fortune were worth only about $0.10 on the dollar when he died. And. That was it. So what is his legacy? He has no legacy. Except for me mentioning him as some of these other men I’m going to mention over the course of our 250th anniversary who have no legacy and deserve a legacy home. Solomon deserves a legacy. Without him, we would not have a country. His gravesite is located on the Mikvah Israel Cemetery in Philadelphia. It’s unmarked. There are two plaque memorials. The East wall has a marble tablet that was installed by his great grandson. And a granite memorials set inside the cemetery gate. Other than that. It’s as if he never existed. As if he never existed. And there are others just like this. That’s how I am. Solomon For all the Jew haters out there. Who pretend to be America first or who are not America first. They don’t even know what the hell they’re talking about. Now, the FBI director signed two memoranda of understanding, according to the press. The monarchy, the dictatorship in Qatar, that we would share training and intelligence information with Qatar. So now we are up to our eyeballs in Qatar militarily. When it comes to our intelligence activities, when it comes to our law enforcement activities, our techniques and our training, they will have some of the most sophisticated military equipment. Built at the ingenuity of the American people. American capitalism. They will have a facility built. On an air air base in Idaho, we’re told, while others do, too. Yeah, but not a country that was involved in 911. Now the country that was involved in October seven. Not a country that supports the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Iran and the Taliban. Not a country that spends billions of dollars poisoning the minds of our young people and colleges and universities. Nobody like Qatar has a facility on a base in the United States of America, and I am gravely concerned about this. Gravely. Mr. Producer, I’d like you to post again on social media. Our our from yesterday, our first hour, where I talked about this new imperial ruling class. Not all of it, but too much of it seeks to enrich themselves. These are grifters, whether they’re in politics. Business media. Some of whom have good intentions, many of whom are selling out our country. Those of us who do understand radical Islam, the mentality, the war on the West and how they intend to conquer the West, that is, who educate ourselves and have become knowledgeable in these ways because certain of their so-called scholars and imams have told us. So we understand what’s going on. You, Mr. and Mrs. America. You do not benefit at all from this relationship. I understand they’re going to be sending trillions of dollars into our country. When. When. And I’m sure they’re going to have a return on that on the dollar, too. That’s quite significant. I personally am very unhappy about this. It’s not a one party thing. It’s a multiparty thing. It’s not an ideological thing. People with all kinds of ideologies have their hand in the victory trough. And repulsed by the phony influencers and podcasters and their ilk. They would claim to be concerned about you. You. They claim that the American system is holding you down. They claim that the American system is corrupt. They claim that we took the wrong. Side on World War Two. They trashed Jews. They trashed Christians. While they saddle up to our enemies. Pretty sick. Pretty shocking. This will be a period that goes down in our history books as a very dark period. And the names of these people who want to be famous, they will become infamous. Those of you who have the guts to speak out. And it doesn’t take a lot of guts. Those of you who speak out. You will be remembered. You’ll be remembered as a great patriots who spoke out when you needed to speak out. Will be the high end supplements you will be. The Paul Revere’s. The Thomas Paine. That’s what you’ll be. The others will be the Benedict Arnold. Who turn on their country at a time of need. For money. For a power. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
You have critics, pseudo conservatives, among others, who say he’s not focused on the economy. He’s focused like a laser. Peace and prosperity. That’s his agenda. Peace abroad. Prosperity at home. The vast majority of his executive orders are intended to. Reduce the bureaucracy, limit regulation, slash them like no president ever has. They open up our lands and our waters to commerce in a responsible, environmentally wise way. And it’s working. The big, beautiful bill passed in late May, as I recall, has massive tax cuts that will take have severely in effect at the beginning and mid-next year. People forget Ronald Reagan’s August 1981 massive tax cuts and they were massive. It took literally 14 months. Some have said 18, some have said whatever. But I looked it up. It was 14 months until the full force of those tax cuts took effect and the economy exploded with growth, wealth creation, prosperity, new jobs, increased income, entrepreneurship, massive growth. Donald Trump has put in place. A very, very similar program. That will do, I believe, the same thing. And as Reagan would say, stay the course. You see some of these rhinos panicking. You see some of these woke Rick types taking shots at the president, not me. I support what he’s done here very, very strongly. And he knows what he’s doing here. He did it in his first term with a massively. A prosperous economy. Biden and the Democrats come in and they kill it. It’s as if they wanted to kill it. Huge taxes. Infinite regulations. Restrictions on drilling. Restrictions on fishing. Restrictions on ranching. Restrictions on everything. As if they wanted to. Decrease economic activity. They passed these massive spending bills. Massive debt. They lied about it. Inflation reduction was inflation promotion. The president is trying to undo all that. In addition to create growth and he has spent God knows how much time negotiating trade deals that are beneficial to the United States. Bringing in significant amounts of money to rebuild our industries and so forth against communist China and the rest of them. He’s got a lot to be proud of and he’s got a lot to point to. And this issue of affordability is a catch phrase by the left. Like equality. They use that one, too. They mean nothing. The fact is, if you create economic growth and prosperity, wealth creation. You not only have affordability. You have well beyond affordability. You have security, you have availability, you have new products, new medicines. New jobs. Cutting edge technologies. That’s what Trump’s doing. And it will pay off. Stay the course. It will pay off. I’m deeply proud of what he’s done. And he has spent a lot of time focused on the domestic economy. The Democrats always talk about Republicans killing the economy. They when Bill Clinton ran for president the first time against Bush 41, he kept saying we were in a recession. We were never in a recession. But they repeated the lie. The media repeated the lie, and people thought we were in a recession. That’s why Donald Trump’s in Pennsylvania this evening. That’s why he’s going to travel the country because nobody like him can communicate with the American people and bring the truth to our communities. I think what he’s done on the economy has been second to none. Outstanding, and I think it’ll pay big dividends. The issue in the midterm elections, I think will be the economy, of course, but it’s going to be the woke rake, our EIC. If three or four or 5% of the people decide to stay home because of Tucker Carlson, because of Steve Bannon, people they don’t even know or understand, nobody understands them because of Candace Owens and the other reprobates. Just a small percentage who say, we want no identity with Nazis, we won’t know identity with anti-Semites, we won’t know identity with people who trash Christians, who promote Sharia law. We won’t know identity with any of those people. They will cause us the election. And Tucker Carlson has said as much. Not going to vote Republican. He hates the Republicans. Okay, well, we have nothing else. The goal is to push the Republicans in the right direction, not to get the Democrats elected. These are saboteurs, low IQ saboteurs. I’ll be right back.
