Speaker 1 (00:00):
So, Larry, we did many segments yesterday, the Miracle of
Medicine Square Garden Game four. We covered every different aspect,
including how Taylors Swift hijacked.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
We're going to get to that later on.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
But what we left out was our predictions on what
I call polygrip, what do you call that polymarket?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Polymarket of how.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Many arrests would have been made that night leading up
to it. And I said, well, because there's chaos in
the streets from Game three, you know where they were
outside of Brian Park. You had to have tickets to
get inside of Brian Park for the viewing. This is
the game that Donald Trump was at. But the crowd
just went on forty second Street and rioted, cops were injured,

(00:48):
arrests were made. It put another black eye on New
York City. So the idea here was for Game four
that you would have limited to nine hundred and ninety
nine ticketed people to stand in that alley way next
to Madison Square Garden on thirty third between seventh and eighth,
which is a viewing area. It's been a viewing area,

(01:10):
but there's been problems with it. We predicted that the
arrest would amount to. I think your prediction was how
many forty forty it's pretty damn good. I chose Henry
Aaron's number forty four instead of Jackie Robinson forty two,
and it turned out we were both wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
How many fifty six fifty fifty six arrests. It turns
out that this forbidden zone that was around Madison Square
Garden to limit the amount of arrest and the amount
of violence actually increased it.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
And ten cops went to the hospital, so they were
assaulting cops.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
And then at three o'clock in the morning, you would
have figured everybody it that. No, they were only around
the city. That's the problem.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
See, when you push them away from Madison Square Garden,
it's not just one big mess of celebration, everybody cheering,
everybody trying to get in front of the TV cameras,
everybody unified. When you send them out walking in groups
or gangs, there's.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Gonna be problems, that's the better word. Gangs hunting for
San Antonio. Spur fans would wear any kind of garb.
They might even say, hey, you like san Antonio, just
to try to lure them out, even if they're not
wearing the garb and then they attack them.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
So it's three o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
They're like hunting parties exactly, wilding parties exactly. And so
now we have the video evidence at the very location
next to where I and both Natalie's were yesterday as
we were having our last meal at the Red Lobster
on forty first and seventh. That's closing on Sunday. You
can go on our social networking and see all of that.

(02:45):
It's gonna be posted all day long. Right next to
it is Five Brothers. I'm forty second and seventh. So
this gang comes in. You know, they have the Nick
Paraphernalion number eleven. You know, everybody wants to be Brunson
and the attack a guy over the counter, they claim
to the crowd because they leave them alone. Oh you
should stay. Antonio's perfect. They take the chairs. If you

(03:08):
ever been in Five Brothers, they go those times.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
I saw the video. You can see this online. You
can see it unfolding.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
They are smashing him, they are piling on him.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
I'm surprised he survived. And then one of them yells
out aboard aboard abord. So this was already pre planning.
They probably did this in a number of locations.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
So the bottom line on all of this, you'll have
to admit that Jim Dolan.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Was right, Yes he was, but he contributed to this.
I'll explain in a moment.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
But he was right.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
You should have had them in that just that area
around Madison Square Garden. You probably would have had less arrested,
probably have less violence.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Because you see, Jessica Tish has never been criticized like
she's been criticized of late. She has not handled this well.
I think she's in a fetal position somewhere because you
haven't heard from her at all. We don't yet know
what the plans are for Saturday Night, even though the
Knicks are going to be in San Antonio. They're going
to have viewing parties, but the people are gonna want
to be near Madison Square Guard. It's like wanting to

(04:03):
be near Saint Patrick's Cathedral, not a local parish.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
If they win Saturday Night. If they win Saturday Night,
it's going to be Mayhem. It'll be Mayhem throughout the city.
Is everyone's gonna go to the streets to celebrate. You've
seen it in city after city after city after city.
I've covered it before in Philly and Chicago, and it
can get really bad, I mean looting, in violence and
lots of people going to the hospital, and you have

(04:27):
to be prepared for that, or will we be prepared
for that? If you've heard anything yet.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Let me give you the hush hush, much much inside information.
There were meetings at City Hall yesterday and they had
nothing at all to do with what the game plan
is to maintain security Saturday night. It was all about
what they're gonna do at the parade. First of all,
that's a jinx. You are jinxing the Knicks in game five,
in game six, you're already preparing what you're gonna do

(04:54):
in a parade. Look, there's already a cookie cutter way
of doing parades. We've done parades before. Need a lot
of preparation. Their meaning about that. Not a word came
out of City Hall about what they're going to do
for the security. As the NIXA playing san Antonio and
san Antonio, all these young men, some from the suburbs,
some from the urban areas. Boy, this brings whites and

(05:17):
blacks together because both thugs are working together on anybody
that they think is a san Antonio Spur fan.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Where are they going to assemble.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
They're not going to Woman Rink in Central Park, They're
not going to the Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburgs. They want
to be as close to Madison Square Garden as possible.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Not a word from City Hall or Jessica Tissue.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
I'll tell you what if this celebration turns into riots
and that happens in city after city after city, and
after watching what's happened the last few nights when after games,
that's what's going to happen here in New York. The
fact that they've not prepared for that means that James
down Again was right. They're inexperienced. They don't know what

(05:58):
to do in these situations. The first things they should
do is call some of the former police chiefs in
these other cities and say, tell us what you did,
tell us how we handle this, tell us what you
missed so we can't miss it here. But to plan
for the parade and not plan for the mayhem is

(06:18):
unbelievably concerned.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well, let's listen to Jimmy Dolan rarely as he heard
from and you can see this guy is sarcastic drips
from his lips.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Honestly the Mayor's office. And I'm sorry the commission or
two write do not have the experience to do this right.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
That's meyam Mon Donnay and Jessica Tesshoes the police comm I.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Mean, they have never managed anything like this before. And
it's like peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It's coming out
the sides.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
This is Wsan by the way, and he's right. I
will tell you he's absolutely right.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Zoran is used to being criticized, right for the same reason.
N Jeshika, she's an untouchable. You haven't heard from her.
Is crestfalling. She's going to mommy and daddy?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
How do handle this? He's talking about me right now.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
She hasn't said she must come out today and we're
roll out of plant. Absolutely and apparently she has objected
to my suggestions. They're filtered up to the ranks. You know,
how about the mounted unit there are eighty eight cops
trained on horses, you know we Nope rejected. How about Jones,
nope projected. How about greasing the light poles? Nope rejected. Okay,

(07:30):
that's fine, Jessica Tish Police Commission, what are you gonna do?
Because this is getting worse and worse each night. And
if the Knicks do sweeping him five right, taking him five,
there may well be riots in the streets.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Are you there?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
There's definitely going to be There's definitely gonna be riots
in the streets. It's gonna start as a celebration, it's
going to turn into riots. I've seen it play out
time and time and time again. I don't agree with
greasing the late poles. I've seen that fail. I've seen
people die because of it. But the mounted police I've
seen now twice in Chicago and in Philadelphia, and I've
seen them walk out, the mounted police and everybody runs.

(08:08):
It is amazing. If you have a police officer without
being on a horse, they stay, they'll fight them, But
on a horse that is so intimidating. They are so big,
they look like superheroes coming you oversee the crowd.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
By the way, I want to hear more of Jimmy
Dolan basically calling out Johan and Jess Gettish.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Who's your daddy? Who's your daddy? You have an.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Easier chance of getting into Area fifty one today than
you do into Madison Square Garden.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
You know, it's really the Mayor's office.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Right, I cannot explain that the decisions on this, but
it makes absolutely no sense at all.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Hey, listen, I want to talk about this what you
were just talking about one more time, because this isn't
just talk radio fodder. These are people's lives, these are
people's businesses. I do hope that somebody from the city
is listening, and I hope somebody from the city is
listening and understands there's gonna be a problem that you
have to be ready for Saturday night. Now, if it
doesn't happen Saturday night, it happens Monday night, you've gotta

(09:09):
be prepared Monday night. But you should be talking about
this all day today. Call other cities, talk about what
they had to deal with and learn from them, because
this is gonna be bad. People can die if you're
not prepared well.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Jessica says, she's omnipotent. Remember they built her up to be, oh,
the best police commissioner ever.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
She's not.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
She's good, but she doesn't have streetsmarks. She really doesn't.
That's not what she brings to the office. She's a
good manager, she does the analytics. You know, you gotta
have really good street smarts like me. If I were
the mayor. Now, if I was lucky enough to be
the mayor, I'd say, Jessica, look, we could do this cooperatively,
but you gotta leave matters of the street to me.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Man, I've lived in the streets.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
I know exactly what's going on the minds of these
white guys coming in from the suburbs and these black
guys from the urban area.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Well, all of a sudden have united in wanting to
tear this.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
If you study and you do analytics, you've got case studies,
you have other cities where this happened. You know it's
going to happen, deal with it.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Well, she's in a fetal position right now, Mommy, Daddy,
don't get any criticized. But up next, it's not just here,
teens being banned all over the place, all throughout the
United States. We'll tell you under what circumstances and where.
Plus a chance to see Toto and Christopher Cross at
eight twenty five. And by the way, we've got predictions

(10:38):
galore later on Larry, we're gonna have to predict at
the end of the show how many arrests because we
were close, but it was more than we expected anyway,
I'm talking about predictions of what to do, and I'm
not talking about Elon Musk's IPO and the other IPOs
from artificial intelligence companies in Silicon Valley. No, no, no, no,

(10:59):
I'm talking about something that's much more solid and investment
in gold four times in the last ten years, it's
skyrocketed and it's never gone down. And right now you
can get it for six thousand, three hundred dollars an ounce.
For silver, it's three hundred and nine dollars an ounce.
And because of the needs of electronic vehicles and the

(11:20):
artificial intelligence data centers, they need silver, and so the
price is going up, up and up.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Now, who do you deal with? You go to Gold Cold.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
They've been dealing with me for many, many years, through
good times and bad times, and they'll send you a
free twenty twenty six gold and silver prospectus. And all
you have to do is just go to Curtis Likes
Gold dot com. That's Curtis Likes Gold dot com. That's free,
and if you decide to get involved, you get ten
percent back in gold to silver just for getting started.

(11:50):
But you better move a ruppy though, because this awfoo
will exist only while supplies last.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
So don't wait. Go to Curtis likes gold dot com.
That's Bertish slize gold dot com lifetime moments.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
You'll have the story Curtis just breaks my heart. Have
you ever been to Hershey, Pennsylvania?

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Oh, the water Slidge.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
I find that the best amusement park for families because
you have enough space, it's not too crowded, but you
get really the total experience, right.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
It's pure, it's sacred, created by Milton Bradley so many
years ago for Hershey's chocolate and for a long time
people that paid no taxes there and school was free.
It was one of the best schools. The Milton Hershey
Academy was one of the best schools in the state,
and it was free for anybody who lived and worked
in Hershey. It is a reminder of the way things

(12:41):
were and hopefully can be again. It has the lowest
crime rate in all of Pennsylvania. But I guess not
anymore because over the over the last few days, there
were some class trips that went there, buses of kids.
And I hate, by the way, how they sanitize the

(13:02):
verbiage on this. They're from opposing groups.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Gangs.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yeah, they're gangs. I mean, what are they? The four
age clubs? They hate each other. Just just say they're gangs.
And so they're from opposing groups. And fifty to sixty
teenagers at Hershey Park had to be arrested for several
fights that kept breaking out in the park. They had
to stop rides because a fight broke out on the

(13:30):
roller coaster. And it's no wonder. It is no wonder, Curtis,
that people are banning teenagers from parks and areas all
around the country because they are the number one provocateurs.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
So bowling alleys slowly, I turned step, I step. There
was a young high school prospect coming out of Virginia
which thought he was going to just dominate college basketball
and eventually the NBA did.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
His name was Ai Irish. Remember he took a bowling ball,
clobbered another high school guy in the head, almost killed
him and governor while depart in him remember right, the
first African American governor there.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Because he was the best basketball player in the state.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
And the country. But Ai would have been in jail
he almost killed that guy.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
I remember, I remember the whole story very well. Hell
I used to cover AI all the time. But yes, yes,
and but that was then, and that was an aberration then. Now,
as we've seen in New York City, as we just
saw on Hershey Park, which still stuns me, as we
see all around the country teams sometimes from out of

(14:45):
the area come in for class trips, or they're just
walking down the street in some major cities, or they
go into a bowling alley, a local bowling alley, they
go into a local shop and fights breakout, and so
of course, of of course, some of these places are
gonna say we're not gonna have any more teenagers in it.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
I just can't understand. You know, a mall, I mean
a skating rink. I don't even know if those exist anymore.
But they're saying skating rinks maybe in other parts of
the country. If this is where, where else are they
gonna go? If you ban them from there, They're just
gonna move off to someplace else, like a street.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Find somewhere else to fight. If I own a store,
if I own the mall and I'm plagued by fight
after fight after fight after fight, and the local police
aren't doing anything, I have every right. I have every
right to say guess what, no more teenagers.

Speaker 5 (15:34):
Absolutely, but I just feel terrible for probably ninety percent
of the kids that are not participating in that.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, well, if you want to fight, you can get
in the octagon ring. We're gonna see that Sunday night
as the President celebrates Flag Day, his birthday on the
south lawn of the White House.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Go ahead, test your abilities.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
In the oct ring against some of the best in
the West.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
So let's go to some talkbacks.

Speaker 6 (15:56):
You know, I've witnessed firsthand the New York Nick's outpouring,
the listening party catastrophe that there were, that there was
on the streets of New York. Here's the real problem.
The real problem is that it's a culture of streamers
that's coming up. They're going out for the sole purpose
not to celebrate. They're not talking sports. They want content,

(16:21):
they want views, and they usually get it through violence.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Some of that, but not all of that.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
They'll watch parties now all throughout the country. You know,
when teams during the playoffs, it's been very civil. Ours
we're getting a black eye. These are the first ones
where they've been not a series of breakouts, and now
it's taking on a life of its run.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, it is. It's happened in other cities as well.

Speaker 7 (16:45):
When the Yankees won the World Series and those horses
came out of the outfield, nobody made an attempt to
get on that field. And who knows, maybe Brunch can
ride down Seventh Avenue with one of the cops.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah, bunching on the back of the of the of
the cop on the horse like Waite Boggs our Third
Basement originally with Boston with the Yankees that year, jumped
on the back and rode all over Yankee Stadium. The
crowd did not come out on the field. Hey, Jessica,
we spend millions of dollars tish eighty eight cops professionally

(17:20):
trained to do crowd control on horses at are trained
for that up in Pelham Bay.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
How many more times do I need to say it?
She has rejected that idea. She knows nothing about the streets. Nothing.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Let's get to Daria Aubinger now with this seven thirty news, Dearie.

Speaker 8 (17:34):
Morning, guys at Stay two of a heat advisory and
some people may not have ac this morning. Conna says
it's working to restore power to a few thousand customers
after last night storms, Most of them are in Queens
Ps ANDNG is working on some remaining outages on Long
Island and in New Jersey. A few schools planned to
dismiss early today, expecting it to be too hot for

(17:55):
kids safety. State law, which took effect last fall, requires
all New York schools to close up the temperature in
a classroom tops eighty eight degrees. President Trump says he
called off the strike s heat had planned for Iran
last night after a breakthrough in peace negotiations. He says
a deal could be signed as soon as this weekend. Well,
the Knicks are headed to San Antonio as they trying
to finish off the Spurs to win their first NBA

(18:17):
title in more than half a century. So far, sorry
to say there are no plans for a watch party
outside Madison Square Garden. Next news eight o'clock bulletins at once.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
I'm Daria. I'll be around seven to ten. WR. Thanks
a lot, dearie. Well, you remember those horrible riots when
police and the Ice were clashing with protesters that were
paid and brought in from across the country at Delaney Hall,
where Ice has been keeping some of the illegal aliens

(18:47):
that they arrest. Well, those are still going on to
this day, and they can be just as violent. It's
just that the politicians aren't going anymore because the cameras
aren't there. We'll tell you the latest on all of
that when we come back. And you know, when I
need a radio that has the best reception in audio,

(19:07):
I turned to Seacring. You've heard me talk about it
a lot. I have all of their products because all
of them do something different, all of them are for
different situations. And this week, only receive ten percent off
your order. You heard that right, ten percent, ten percent
off your entire order this week. Only looking for a

(19:28):
great Father's Day gift. The CC Radio three delivers long
range AMFM reception, Noah weather alerts, Bluetooth connectivity for streaming audio,
and even a two meter hamband so you can get
emergency information. If you listen primarily to voice content, the
CC Radio three is worth the price alone. Audio quality

(19:52):
for the spoken words sounds like the person's right there
in the room with you. You've never heard play by
play better than with the Sacreane radio. You can separate
the base and treble controls. That's the secret. It lets
you customize the sound for clear, natural audio and this
week only again, save ten percent on your entire order

(20:15):
by calling Sacrane at eight hundred five two two eight
eight sixty three. That's eight hundred five two two eight
eight six three. Or you can visit them online. By
the way. While you're online, it's a great website. You
can see all of their different radios. It's at ccrane
dot com. That's cc r an e dot com. I

(20:37):
know Delaney Hall, the private ice attention center in Newark,
hasn't been getting a lot of media recently. That doesn't
mean there's nothing going on there. Those poor ice officers
and prison officers who are the border patrols there too, uh,
that are taking care of that place have to deal
with these paid protests that are staying there because they

(21:00):
want to get paid. I mean, they don't have their
next gig yet. You know, they had Minneapolis and now
they have Delaney Hall. They're waiting for the next one
so they can keep getting their paychecks. And they are
in the face of these officers all the time, almost
begging to be arrested because they know in Newark they'll
just be let out and they'll be back on the
streets the next day and they'll be in their faces again.

(21:23):
My favorite scene, by the way, Curtis, was one of
the ice officers was driving down the street and they
were at his car and they're yelling and they're calling
him names and they're cursing at him. He rolls down
his window and has a can of pepper spray and
just sprays it at one of them and rolls back
up the window, and the guy was actually crying. He
was like as he walked away, I can't imagine how

(21:46):
much they must dislike these people outside in the Ice
facility itself, the politicians now have stopped. They don't want
any more visits. Everything has gone away. Delaney Hall is
going to continue to operate just like it did. All
of it was for show and hoping upon hope that

(22:09):
maybe one of those Ice officers, or maybe one of
those officials and maybe the state police would attack one
of the people that were protesting, one of the paid protesters,
so they could cry and scream and then tell you see,
this is what they're doing. They're thugs. They shouldn't be
wearing masks, they shouldn't be funded anymore. This is all

(22:31):
just a big national show. And Curtis, they're just waiting
for their next act.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
It's training camp. Now normally from what I've tracked of Antifa,
and no, it is not a theory or an idea.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
They broke my jaw with a claw hammer, so it's personal.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
I was at a parade in Philadelphia for Antifa. I
went to their headquarters.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yes, they paraded through Times Square and the cops did
nothing to them under the blachio.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
But they are real.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
They are very organized at paramilitary group, mostly white kids
of privilege.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
This goes back to the sixties.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Remember the weather Underground, white kids of privilege who wanted
to bomb America.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
And you figure, like, why what this is? It's a
full circle.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
So it's become a training camp because as you pointed out,
all the politicians have gone away, all the media has
gone away. But they've said, don't go back to Atlanta
or Madison, Wisconsin, or Portland, Oregon.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Where most of them come from, not all of them,
but most of them. Just use this as a training camp.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Because Tom Holman promised us, Mullins promised us.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
That they're going to be flooding New York City with
ice agents.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
And remember Delaney hal got a lot of attention, but
the big three have been Los Angeles, Chicago, remember when
they were putting on all kinds of battles there, Minneapolis,
and now they're looking for New York City in the
media capital of the world. So just stay here, find
a hotel, motel on Routes one in nine. You know,
put three four of you in a role because it's

(24:01):
no you know, low budget. They're being funded and just
let's wait, let's just keep practicing our routines, our tactics
because they are a paramilitary group. And look at yesterday
what happened in New York City. You talk about crying
one of the Antifa guys crying before you move on.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
I know what you're moving on to. Let me Mullins
is talking about Mom Donnie. Now Mullins is talking about
New York City, and he's backing up home and saying, yeah,
the surge is coming.

Speaker 9 (24:27):
We have mayors like Mandammie and New York. You want
to say you're not welcome as a mayor. He knows
what's happening is on the streets, he knows who he's harboring.
And at this point in a baby by saying that
we can't go operate, we're going to.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
Yeah, we're going to and he said, the surge has
already started.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Don't don't respond to the hype. I'm telling you, this
is what the left of the progressives, Juan Hochel, is
begging him.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Come on in, come on in. We want the limelight.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
They don't understand that all of these ANTIFA supporters and
ANTIFA members, they're on WhatsApp, so at a moment's notice,
they'll know where ICE is.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Operate overnight. Make your individual arrest.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
You've been doing that all along, but don't come in
with force because all you're going to be doing is
feeding the beast. Now. Perfect example Brad Lander, the former
city controller. You talked about somebody crying. He wonted Tony
Award yesterday. He was in federal court. He had been
hit with an obstruction charge when he was in federal
court and he blocked an elevator where they were moving

(25:32):
migrants you to and from, and he got arrested for that.
And remember boy, he got the nomination there he was
flopping around all over the place. Remember his eyeballs were
coming out of his eh I can't read my neck.
I think it's broken. But his performance yesterday after a
federal judge dismissed the charge and said this would just

(25:52):
be a ticketable offense. I don't know why it's before me.
You're free to leave, miss Lander, who's way ahead of
Congressman Goldman park slope. I mean he's gonna win that
seat for Goldman because Goldman is pro Israel and Lander.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Is not but Lander.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
If you notice he was at the microphone crying, he
walked right out to the cameras.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Did not expect to be emotional.

Speaker 10 (26:13):
This was not I did not feel in a lot
of jeopardy. Had they found me guilty, I suspect I
would have gotten, you know, community service. And yet when
you're sitting there, it really is moving to feel like
it matters what happened.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
He talks like a high school girl. Up speak, Brad,
I'd been locked up many times. If you would have
cried it, you would be their may tag. And let
me tell you, they would be violating you, Brad, no
matter what your politics.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Is, I'm not sure Brad wouldn't like it.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Hmm huh.

Speaker 7 (26:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
We should go to polymarket, a polygrad and see what
the overrun the point spread would be on that.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
Secretly, I think Brad wanted to go not positive. I'm
not a I don't know, but it just seems, you know,
what's the matter, Nat trying to shut me up.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
She's blushing, Natalie, you're blushing.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Oh by the way, coming up, you gotta do your
two fifty commemoration to a nation's birthday.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
We're going to end the three Days, the ten Days,
and the three battles that saved America just to me.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Curtis and Larry celebrate two fifty stories that made America
On seventen WOA.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
The legend of General George Washington was spreading in the
American colonies like wildfire after crossing the Delaware River from
Pennsylvania into New Jersey on Christmas seventeen seventy six for
a brilliant surprise attack on fourteen Hessian soldiers hired by
the British, which, by the way, was the Continental Army's

(28:00):
first victory, and then Washington's brilliant disappearing act when he
and four thousand men escaped certain defeat in the middle
of the night at Asenpink Creek six days later, embarrassing
British General George Cornwallis, who had them trapped. The morale

(28:21):
of the Continental army that had been waning after major
defeats in Boston and New York, was now starting to grow.
In Washington's retreat from Asenpink, he was going towards what
is now Princeton when he was informed of British troops
at William Clark's Farm, a site that is now known

(28:41):
as the Princeton Battlefield State Park. Washington sent Brigadier General
Mercer with some men to check it out. The small
force ran into fierce fire, and General Mercer's horse was
struck with a bullet. Mercer fell to the ground and
British troops charged him. They thought Mercer was General Washington,

(29:03):
and they beat him and bayoneted him to almost sure death.
But they demanded that Mercer beg for quarter, which means
they wanted him to surrender. Mercer refused, and he was killed.
When Washington heard of Mercer's death from some of the
retreating troops, he told the men he himself would lead

(29:27):
them into battle. George Washington stood six foot two inches
tall when the average height was five foot six. He
towered above most men, and after his victory in Trenton,
he had already achieved legendary status. When he mounted his
chestnut horse Nelson, with the son at his back. He

(29:48):
looked like a god among men. He looked out among
his four thousand troops, who stood silent, and he said, men,
it's a good day for a fox hunt and followed
Washington into battle. Washington's first direct attack on British forces,
and unlike most attacks those days, he was out in

(30:10):
front at Clark's Farm. The British troops were overwhelmed. Washington
was able to break through their line and the British
retreated to New Jersey College, which is now known as
Princeton University. The remaining British troops took refuge inside Nassa
Hall at the college, and it was a young artillery

(30:32):
captain named Alexander Hamilton who ordered cannons to fire upon
the building. Stunningly, for the first time in this young
American Revolutionary War, British troops were forced to surrender. In
just ten days, Washington overwhelmed Hessian soldiers in Trenton in

(30:55):
a surprise attack. He out maneuvered General Cornwallis at Assenpink
and pulled off the greatest disappearing act in military history.
And then he led the first American battlefield victory against
British troops. It culminated in what some call the Ten
Crucial Days of the Revolution. Others say it was the

(31:19):
ten days that saved America. Had Washington failed in any
one of those three battles, the revolution would have suffered
an early death. But it found new life in New Jersey.
The British had taken Boston, they had taken New York,
but Washington took New Jersey, and it was in New

(31:40):
Jersey that the tide of the war turned.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Excellent, excellent, Larry, You've been magnificent in critiquing how really
there were more battles in New Jersey than anywhere else.
That led ultimately to us freeing ourselves from the tyranny
of the crowd and forcing the Bridge trained professional army,
the best in the world, and their mercenaries in Hessians

(32:06):
to surrender to the rebel army, which was considered disgraceful.
And yet they followed the procedures of how they had
been trained. When surrounded and it looked like all your
men might become cannon fodder, you surrender. But imagine surrendering
to the rebels for.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
The first time. They had won every battle up until
that point, and then Washington won two against the Hessians
and then directly with British forces. No, it was an
amazing time. And you're right, more battles were fought in
New Jersey than in any other colony. Oh in now states.
There were six hundred battles and skirmishes in New Jersey.

(32:42):
No other state is even close. And what gets me
is that we always talk about Boston, we always talk
about Philadelphia, even New York, but New Jersey doesn't get its.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Due none, none, And it's shameful both in the South
which is in the shadow of the Philadelphia media market,
in the North New York City media market.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
But in all those battles I've noticed in doing.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
The research for this, the Patriots, the Continental Army at
different times flew different flags and then they eventually settled
on the one flag of Betsy Ross who made that
in Philadelphia. Her house is still there that so many
tourists go to, not far from the Liberty Bell.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
You know, Sunday is Flag Day. You would never know
that walking around New York City.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Flags of every freaking country that you can't even find
on a map, but their flags are flying because of
World Cup.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
But thank God.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
On this Flag Day Sunday, which will also be the
eightieth birthday of President Donald Trump, we wish them all
the best and will be the scene of the UFC fight.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
The White House South lawn.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Will be festooned with American flags, and you better believe
the President will acknowledge what so many other Americans don't
even know.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Our Flag Day is.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
June fourteenth. Was established by Woodrow Wilson back in nineteen eighteen.
My God, fly the American Flag Police.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
And it happened because of a push by American citizens.
They kept pushing for it and pushing for it and
pushing for it, and finally it happened. Hey, when we
come back, are we really near a piece deal now?
President Trump says he wants to sign this memorandum of
a deal in Europe during next week's visit. We'll find out.
