## Resource

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, not much is talked about the First Continental Congress which convened in Carpenter's Hall, Philadelphia, from September 5 to October 26, 1774. They agreed to boycott British goods in both directions, issued a Declaration of Rights and Grievances, and asserted in Section 4 that the foundation of English liberty and free government is the right of the people to participate in their legislative council. This gathering served as a key prelude to the Second Continental Congress and the Declaration of Independence two years later. Also, today marks the 24th anniversary of Mark on the air. Mark celebrates by revisiting some of his most memorable moments — including his gripping live play-by-play coverage of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and the 2016 election. Later, the military and economic operations against the Iranian regime have been spectacularly successful, and President Trump is wisely deciding how to end it while rejecting the left and isolationists who demand a quick withdrawal. This position reflects the Woke Reich who are rooting for America to fail to claim they were right, though they never were. Afterward, Rep Jim Jordan calls in to discuss his legislation for sanctuary cities. Jordan's legislation grants immunity to local law enforcement that cooperates with federal agents, withholds certain federal grants from sanctuary jurisdictions, and creates a private right of action allowing victims harmed by released illegal migrants (after ignored detainers) to sue the responsible entities. Finally, Bret Baier calls in to discuss his new book, The Case for America: An Argument on Behalf of Our Nation – A Thoughtful Defense of Our History, Values, and National Character in Divisive Times.
