The unknown Revolutionary War HERO who sacrificed everything
The American Revolution was led by many men with names we know by heart — Adams, Revere, Hancock, and Washington — to name a few.
But there’s a lesser known name who’s received little to no time in the limelight in the history books: Dr. Joseph Warren of Massachusetts.
“It’s very interesting,” Mark Levin says. “In New England, early on when the war broke out, before 1776, Dr. Joseph Warren was known better than George Washington.”
During the Battle of Bunker Hill, there was a problem that Warren, a leader of the Revolutionary movement in Boston, helped solve.
The colonists were short on gunpowder, so Warren and a few others put together and signed a letter addressed to the Congress of New York asking for help.
“You read that, and you look at that, and you really think about the men who wrote it and signed it, who put everything on the line, everything they had, including their lives,” Levin says, admiring their sacrifice.
When the Patriots ended up running out of gunpowder during this battle, some of them stood firm at the front line while others were ordered to retreat for another day.
“Dr. Warren insisted on staying on the front line. He was a wanted man, they knew who he was,” Levin explains. “The Americans are overwhelmed, they fight hand to hand combat, and one of the higher ranking British officers, as they were charging up the last time, saw Joseph Warren, aimed his pistol at him in nearly point blank range, shot him between the eyes.”
“And so as not to make a martyr out of Dr. Joseph Warren, they would cut him up into pieces, they would burn what was left of him,” he adds, noting that the British forces also urinated on his remains.
The American forces were able to determine that Warren was one of the dead as in his teeth he had some easily identifiable iron, which was made by Paul Revere, who was a metalsmith.
“I tell you that as a personal example, not personal to me, but a specific example, of what took place,” Levin says.

THESE 3 racists were Joe Biden's mentors
One of the first things Joe Biden did when he became president was to spit in the faces of our Founders.
He did this when he immediately abolished the 1776 Commission — which had as its goal advancing the education seminars teaching about the American founding.
“Biden killed it,” Mark Levin says, disgusted.
But this is nothing new. The entire Democrat Party has always rejected what makes America great.
“Even before Woodrow Wilson,” who Levin describes as “the most infamous of the bunch.”
Wilson started out as an intellectual and was president of Princeton University.
“He was proud during his presidency; they didn’t admit a single black person. Not one. But he was a progressive intellectual, you know, supported eugenics. He resegregated the federal government. He resegregated the military after the Republicans had desegregated it,” Levin explains.
“The Democrat Party has been filled with anti-Americanism from day one,” Levin continues, adding, “the party of slavery is not going to lecture us on democracy.”
And Biden is carrying on the Democrat Party’s legacy.
“When Joe Biden got to the Senate, when he was sworn in, he was barely 30 years old,” Levin says, noting that he befriended three senators: James Eastland, John Stennis, and Robert Byrd.
“All three of them were racist segregationists. All three of them hated black people. All three of them filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act,” Levin explains, noting that Biden quickly followed suit.
“Joe Biden was one of the leaders opposing the integration of public schools, and he made statements about he ‘doesn’t want his kids caught up in this jungle’ as a result of integration. He made these horrendous statements,” he adds.
