Okay, welcome, Emmanuel, and handsome captive Israel, that warns in Bonny

Okay, welcome back. It is the 25th of December in the Year of Our Lord, 2025.

Thursday, it's Christmas Day, or to be exact Christmas morning.

Patrick A. Donald, having lost everything, having tremendous pressure.

In fact, I think the Continental Congress had already, were no longer sitting in Philadelphia.

I think they went down to Annapolis.

They got out of town because this thing was looking bad.

And the British said they were going to hang, they were going to hang every, everybody that signed the declaration.

In fact, there's a prockful story.

I don't think it's ever been totally verified that one of the signers of the declaration, I think from New

Jersey, had already renounced the declaration. I think he had been captured. They run up on

him. A string of defeats, tremendous pressure on General Washington. If it had been really a rival

around, they might have even traded him out. Of course, his rival was captured by the British.

One catastrophic defeat

after the other, but he still got an army of three or four thousand men, but they're in bad shape.

They've been fighting constantly in a retreat and not a route in a retreat for like three months.

They get across the Delaware. Walk me through the plan. How does Washington come up with this plan,

which is really what I call a throw of the iron dice of war? As you mentioned, Steve,

the crown has seized New Jersey, and they are now offering the population an oath of allegiance.

If they sign the oath of allegiance and they sign their fealty to the crown, all will

be forgiven.

And even a sign around the Declaration of Independence does sign that.
