- 2:15Speaker 7: Do we have that now? We'll do it in a
- 2:16Speaker 7: little bit.
- 2:17Speaker 6: I want to get the first things out there, because
- 2:19Speaker 6: much was a foot, as is typical in the Trump administration.
- 2:24Speaker 6: Most other presidencies kicking off the two hundred and fiftieth
- 2:28Speaker 6: anniversary of the nation they govern would be the sum
- 2:32Speaker 6: total of their day's events. There'd be press and spin
- 2:37Speaker 6: and policy and all sorts of things all built around
- 2:41Speaker 6: the one thing that's not the Trump administration. There's a
- 2:45Speaker 6: dozen things going on. Oh yeah, President Trump kicks off
- 2:49Speaker 6: the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United States
- 2:52Speaker 6: at a rally. He also visits with the NATO chief
- 2:55Speaker 6: and then he goes up and upbraids senators and gets
- 2:58Speaker 6: Bill Cassidy to are with him. Bill Cassidy's right Wgso
- 3:04Speaker 6: Bill Cassidy came back and said, I appreciate the administration's
- 3:09Speaker 6: attempts to bring him into the fold on Iran. We'll
- 3:14Speaker 6: get into all that this morning and our first things today,
- 3:17Speaker 6: President Trump launched the two hundred and fiftieth birthday the
- 3:21Speaker 6: semimi I'm going to bollock that up. It's just the
- 3:26Speaker 6: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of the
- 3:29Speaker 6: of Independence, written by other Thomas from Charlottesville. President Trump
- 3:35Speaker 6: had been expected to sign a bipartisan housing affordability package
- 3:39Speaker 6: at a high profile event in the capital, but posted
- 3:43Speaker 6: to social media Today's Housing news conference and signing is
- 3:46Speaker 6: hereby canceled until such a time as we passed the
- 3:49Speaker 6: desperately needed Save America Act. His former DHS Secretary Ken
- 3:55Speaker 6: Kuchinelli will be on this program at twenty minutes in
- 4:00Speaker 6: to the fourth hour of it. Postmaster General David Steiner
- 4:04Speaker 6: told lawmakers in a DHS hearing yesterday that the US
- 4:08Speaker 6: Postal Service would not deliver mail in ballots and states
- 4:12Speaker 6: that refused to provide voter registration data to the federal government.
- 4:17Speaker 6: Two powerful earthquakes of Rock Venezuela, killing so far thirty
- 4:21Speaker 6: two people known of but estimates from the US Geological
- 4:26Speaker 6: Survey said that number could increase well over the thousands.
- 4:30Speaker 6: Seven hundred reported buildings collapsed as a seven point two
- 4:35Speaker 6: magnitude quake hit just west of Caracas, and then that
- 4:39Speaker 6: was followed by a seven point five magnitude tremor. Former
- 4:45Speaker 6: chief of staff to New York Mayor Eric Adams was
- 4:48Speaker 6: arrested yesterday on a federal bribery charge involving a migrant
- 4:54Speaker 6: shelter contract. Frank Corone. It's the latest in a string
- 4:58Speaker 6: of corruption gations leveled against city officials. The indictmental edges
- 5:04Speaker 6: the ex chief of staff exploited his position to get
- 5:06Speaker 6: more than one hundred thousand dollars in payoffs for steering
- 5:10Speaker 6: a migrant shelter contract to a hotel that social service
- 5:15Speaker 6: officials had deemed unsuitable. NATO Secretary General Mark Root sought
- 5:21Speaker 6: to calm tensions between President Trump's administration and the world
- 5:25Speaker 6: community in a White House meeting that d did nothing
- 5:30Speaker 6: more than inflame the Italians. They pushed back on a
- 5:33Speaker 6: statement Attorney General Route said, pointing to Italy's air bases
- 5:40Speaker 6: and five hundred US planes that had taken off to
- 5:43Speaker 6: support eric epic fury in Italy. Though saying basically the
- 5:48Speaker 6: same thing, Georgia. Maloney's government repeatedly said it did not
- 5:52Speaker 6: authorize the use of Italian territory for direct military action
- 5:56Speaker 6: against Iran. It was just support of which technically is
- 6:02Speaker 6: what Mark Rouge said.
- 6:03Speaker 7: Those are our first things this morning.
- 6:07Speaker 8: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and
- 6:10Speaker 8: Friends and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought

- 7:01Speaker 7: You know, It's true.
- 7:02Speaker 5: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
- 7:05Speaker 5: to think about what matters most when it comes to
- 7:07Speaker 5: our spending our healthcare. This is why so many people
- 7:11Speaker 5: are joining meta share right now. Metashare is a trusted
- 7:15Speaker 5: way to save up to fifty percent on your monthly
- 7:17Speaker 5: healthcare costs. More than four hundred thousand people have already
- 7:20Speaker 5: made the switch. It's pretty obvious why, especially now during
- 7:24Speaker 5: this challenging season with health care costs and out of pocket.
- 7:28Speaker 7: Expenses going up.
- 7:29Speaker 5: Metas Share can save you a lot of money. The

- 7:38Speaker 5: than five billion dollars of each other's bills. There are
- 7:41Speaker 5: different options to choose from to fit your budget. I'll
- 7:44Speaker 5: give you the number here in a second, and if
- 7:45Speaker 5: you call you can get a price within two minutes.
- 7:48Speaker 5: Maybe now is the perfect time to make the switch
- 7:51Speaker 5: and start saving. Here you go call eight five five
- 7:54Speaker 5: share forty. That's eight five five share forty, eight five
- 7:59Speaker 5: five share forty.
- 8:12Speaker 3: On a need to know basis, because you need to
- 8:15Speaker 3: know the first thing today.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Vision two hundred and fifty years ago, a new nation
- 8:21Speaker 1: was founded by farmers and soldiers, shopkeepers and tradesmens. Franklin,
- 8:28Speaker 1: Gays in Washington, Lee and Rolych Hancock will.
- 8:38Speaker 4: Shut down to depend Dickens or the fifty six men.
- 8:44Speaker 5: Who signed the Declaration of Independence, in the thirty seven
- 8:47Speaker 5: who signed the Constitution, it is to you, mister Jeffson
- 8:52Speaker 5: will miss.
- 8:53Speaker 6: You than you will know.
- 8:56Speaker 7: So it begins.
- 8:59Speaker 4: Gods, you please, mister, help these fools the right way,
- 9:10Speaker 4: right way.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Red lights in them who stood strong to defend their rights,
- 9:20Speaker 1: their families, and their freedom from the tyranny across the sea,
- 9:25Speaker 1: from every city in town, from the mountains and valleys,
- 9:28Speaker 1: from the backwoods and rocky shores.
- 9:31Speaker 4: They came by the.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Thousands to fill the ranks of American patriots and enlist
- 9:36Speaker 1: their lives and the righteous cause of independence.
- 9:39Speaker 4: That's what they did.
- 9:40Speaker 1: This exceptional nation was forged, won by some of the bravest, toughest, strongest,
- 9:46Speaker 1: most extraordinary people ever to stride the earth. Together, we
- 9:50Speaker 1: stand on the shoulders of incomparable heroes such as George Washington,
- 9:56Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton.
- 10:05Speaker 4: John Paul Jones.
- 10:06Speaker 1: John Hancock. At Lexington and Concord, Brooklyn and Saratoga, Trenton
- 10:11Speaker 1: and Yorktown, and at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, these real
- 10:16Speaker 1: life legends and American icons poured out their blood, sweat
- 10:20Speaker 1: and tears and risked everything they had to purchase and
- 10:24Speaker 1: to live the most priceless and glorious inheritance of any
- 10:30Speaker 1: people ever to be on this earth.
- 10:33Speaker 4: They all lived by the oath that.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Patrick Henry made immortal. Give me liberty or give me death.
- 10:40Speaker 6: That's a sum of President Trump's speech yesterday kicking off
- 10:45Speaker 6: the semi Sessquinennial. I guess halfway to five hundred. Did
- 10:52Speaker 6: we just skip the two hundreds when we had bi centennial.
- 10:57Speaker 7: It's not.
- 10:57Speaker 6: I guess it's not technically the semi trial centennial, So
- 11:02Speaker 6: we're halfway to five hundred. I guess that's aspirational, isn't it?
- 11:08Speaker 6: We can get there because all the stuff that was
- 11:11Speaker 6: laid out two hundred and fifty years ago is still there.
- 11:13Speaker 6: It's just at the bottom of a pile of other crap.
- 11:19Speaker 6: I was trying to get chat GTP to draw a
- 11:21Speaker 6: picture of Thomas Jefferson's home at Monticello here in Charlottesville
- 11:25Speaker 6: where we come from two year radio. No, not from
- 11:30Speaker 6: his house. They get a little salty about that. They
- 11:32Speaker 6: have rules about partisanship, and I'm considered partisan. I'm not
- 11:37Speaker 6: sure which party, but they claim because people have told
- 11:45Speaker 6: them same thing for Montpelier. I know our friends at
- 11:49Speaker 6: Heritage they do a very nice job. They've graded Montpelier
- 11:53Speaker 6: lower than Monticello. But you'll still get harangued about the
- 11:57Speaker 6: slaves and probably have a longer visit to Mulberry Row,
- 12:03Speaker 6: which is where the slaves were held in Monticello. That
- 12:08Speaker 6: was their living quarters. If you ever come to visit,
- 12:13Speaker 6: it's a great house. But I tried to get chat
- 12:16Speaker 6: GTP to draw me a picture, a cartoon depiction of
- 12:20Speaker 6: Monticello if a hoarder lived there, because that's what the
- 12:24Speaker 6: United States is right now. We've some great stuff and
- 12:29Speaker 6: we've turned into hoarders. Legislative hoarders. We keep piling more stuff,
- 12:35Speaker 6: and we got piles. And give me a We've got
- 12:37Speaker 6: a couple of thousand page bills and put them all
- 12:41Speaker 6: on top. Just pile them over there in the corner.
- 12:43Speaker 6: And so all the stuff that made this country great
- 12:48Speaker 6: in the first place still there. It's just buried under
- 12:53Speaker 6: detritus that we've got to clear out. We need a
- 12:58Speaker 6: political dumpster. One of the things that my friends at
- 13:04Speaker 6: Americans Far Prosperity talk about frequently, which is the idea
- 13:09Speaker 6: that we should have term limits on law, and we
- 13:16Speaker 6: talk about term limits on the elected officials. I hazard
- 13:21Speaker 6: and one of my dear friends warned me about that, saying,
- 13:25Speaker 6: be careful because then you empower the political class more
- 13:29Speaker 6: than they are now. There are people who circulate in
- 13:33Speaker 6: the bowels of Washington, DC and in your state capitals
- 13:37Speaker 6: as well, who are the career political operatives. They'll circulate
- 13:45Speaker 6: each time a new General Assembly is sworn in, a
- 13:50Speaker 6: new representative body sits for their temporary visits quote unquote,
- 13:56Speaker 6: temporary part time legislatures, and the careerists are the ones
- 14:04Speaker 6: with the resumes. I was assistant chief of staff to
- 14:07Speaker 6: so and so, and then I chaired this subcommittees I was,
- 14:11Speaker 6: and they build their political career off of being the
- 14:14Speaker 6: guy that makes the guy look good. And I mean
- 14:18Speaker 6: that pejoratively. I don't mean they're all male, many of
- 14:22Speaker 6: them mostly mail anyway, male adjacent. But they're the what's
- 14:32Speaker 6: the expression. They're the ones that make the trains run
- 14:35Speaker 6: on time. You don't know their names, you've never voted
- 14:39Speaker 6: for them, but the people you did vote for them
- 14:41Speaker 6: get convinced that they're the guy that's going to make
- 14:44Speaker 6: them the next so and so. If you're in the
- 14:48Speaker 6: legislative lower house, you want to be in the higher
- 14:51Speaker 6: upper house, the Senate, or maybe you want to be governor.
- 14:54Speaker 6: You want to be us senator someday. These are the
- 14:58Speaker 6: These are the people, These are the makers I'd like
- 15:02Speaker 6: to see. I'd like to see those people limited. And
- 15:04Speaker 6: you know what, the US Constitution did limit those people,
- 15:09Speaker 6: and most state governments constituting documents limit those people. It's
- 15:16Speaker 6: the perversion of their commerce clauses and their incursion into
- 15:22Speaker 6: the private markets that allow these people to have this
- 15:26Speaker 6: kind of corruptive power. And with that, we will go
- 15:29Speaker 6: to my classmate Bayside High School commodore Eric Adams and
- 15:35Speaker 6: his former chief of staff. Another corruption investigation, hundreds of
- 15:42Speaker 6: thousands of dollars given to direct migrant shelters. So first
- 15:49Speaker 6: New York declares itself a sanctuary for non citizens. And
- 15:56Speaker 6: you say, oh, aren't they being altruistic? Aren't they being
- 16:00Speaker 6: open hearted? Aren't they showing all the good? No, they're profiting.
- 16:07Speaker 6: And all these jackwagons that go around and claim that
- 16:11Speaker 6: Trump is violating the Emolument's clause every time he opens
- 16:15Speaker 6: his cake hole, every time he puts down his diet
- 16:19Speaker 6: mountain dew long enough or no it's a diet coke.
- 16:23Speaker 6: Every time he puts down his diet coke long enough
- 16:26Speaker 6: to say something.
- 16:26Speaker 7: Another violation. He's just trying to profit.
- 16:30Speaker 6: Yet Frank Corone, chief of staff to New York City
- 16:34Speaker 6: Mayor Eric Adams, hundred thousand dollars just in this one
- 16:39Speaker 6: case of payoffs to make a migrant shelter out of
- 16:43Speaker 6: a hotel. It's one of those notel motel charged by
- 16:47Speaker 6: the hour places fleabag I think is being generous to
- 16:51Speaker 6: it where even Social Services said, yeah, we're not putting
- 16:55Speaker 6: migrants in there, sorry, and he got paid off.
- 16:59Speaker 9: You know that healthy arteries make a gas. Yes, actually
- 17:05Speaker 9: three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
- 17:10Speaker 9: is a gas that's readily made all day long to
- 17:14Speaker 9: keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

- 17:24Speaker 9: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 17:28Speaker 9: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this

- 18:07Speaker 3: Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 18:12Speaker 3: the second most Famous Thomas and Charlott's.
- 18:15Speaker 4: Jew words at steal me Stem you have a day
- 18:20Speaker 4: at least for work. When the sun comes up, drops
- 18:22Speaker 4: a pet school. Joe has everything, a dreamer all the
- 18:28Speaker 4: treasure sees. No one that Joe salis smile. He only
- 18:33Speaker 4: eggs easy, liberty, or gifty dead. Let be Joe.
- 18:38Speaker 7: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
- 18:40Speaker 7: this morning.
- 18:41Speaker 4: I want to be Joe.
- 18:44Speaker 6: Some of the President's remarks kicking off the two hundred
- 18:47Speaker 6: and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of Starya.
- 18:52Speaker 6: You can get a TikTok. That's the expression for a
- 18:55Speaker 6: timeline these days of what was going on, the actual factuals.
- 19:03Speaker 6: July second is the date that they ratified the declaration
- 19:08Speaker 6: of independence. And at the risk of being pedantic about it,
- 19:13Speaker 6: the declaration of independence is illegal filing, so the legal
- 19:17Speaker 6: filing had to be agreed on by all the parties
- 19:20Speaker 6: to the legal filing. It was under one of the
- 19:24Speaker 6: rarities on the planet, and we were about to begin
- 19:27Speaker 6: a whole new chapter of rarities. But understand that King
- 19:31Speaker 6: John of England was so bad. I mean, think about
- 19:35Speaker 6: the literary experiences you can have about King John, whether
- 19:40Speaker 6: it be Robin Hood. Has the Hugh Jackman thing started yet?
- 19:46Speaker 4: Can?
- 19:46Speaker 7: Can somebody explain Hugh Jackman's career? Is he just taking
- 19:50Speaker 7: every movie that somebody?
- 19:54Speaker 6: I guess he's figuring, you know what I'm working this year,
- 19:57Speaker 6: I'll take the next one off. He's doing the Death
- 19:59Speaker 6: of Robin Hood and the Neil Diamond movie. And I'm
- 20:03Speaker 6: just trying to figure out Hugh Jackman. But he's doing
- 20:09Speaker 6: this death of Robin Hood thing.
- 20:11Speaker 7: I'm no hero.
- 20:15Speaker 6: Bit because we've caught on that Robin Hood was stealing
- 20:19Speaker 6: from the government to give back to the impoverished that
- 20:24Speaker 6: they had had all their tax money confiscated from. So
- 20:27Speaker 6: enough people caught onto that we need to retell the
- 20:29Speaker 6: Robin Hood. Sorry, he really wasn't a good guy. Oh okay,
- 20:36Speaker 6: but he was fighting King John, King John, one of
- 20:40Speaker 6: the Little Snots and the Lion and Winter get to Beckett,
- 20:49Speaker 6: you know, you know all the literary places King John,
- 20:52Speaker 6: the War of the Roses. How bad was this guy?
- 20:54Speaker 7: He created?
- 20:55Speaker 6: He forced Parliament into creating Magna Carta and through Karta,
- 21:01Speaker 6: then we come to our find ourselves with the opportunity
- 21:07Speaker 6: to file for divorce. We'll get further into that, but
- 21:11Speaker 6: there's plenty of actual stories going on today. But the
- 21:14Speaker 6: President kicking it off yesterday on the National Mall, then
- 21:19Speaker 6: goes up to the camp.
- 21:21Speaker 7: Well, I guess that was the culmination of the day.
- 21:23Speaker 6: He had a busy day yesterday, started up Capitol Hill
- 21:26Speaker 6: for a brunch meeting with senators which got prickly, and
- 21:31Speaker 6: then he canceled the signing. Thank god, by the way,
- 21:35Speaker 6: he wouldn't sign that perversion of legislation. This might be
- 21:41Speaker 6: one of the top ten worst pieces of legislation ever.
- 21:45Speaker 6: This Housing Act quote bipartisan that Focahontas and Maxine Waters.
- 21:53Speaker 6: I would have loved to have seen Maxine Waters at
- 21:56Speaker 6: the signing ceremony though for this that would have been fun,
- 21:59Speaker 6: he says. Today, this housing news conference and signing has
- 22:02Speaker 6: been canceled until such a time as we passed the
- 22:05Speaker 6: desperately needed Save America Act. Postmaster General David Steiner told
- 22:12Speaker 6: congressional overseers that the Postal Service will not deliver mail
- 22:15Speaker 6: in ballots in states that refuse to provide voter registration
- 22:20Speaker 6: to federal agencies. A seven point two magnitude earthquake rock
- 22:25Speaker 6: the area just west of Caracas and Venezuela. So far,
- 22:29Speaker 6: the death told is thirty two. They expected to go
- 22:32Speaker 6: much higher. It was followed by a seven point five
- 22:35Speaker 6: magnitude follow up. US District Court judged in ease Casper
- 22:41Speaker 6: and Boston permanently barred the administration from implementing its first
- 22:46Speaker 6: Executive Order on the elections is to require people to
- 22:51Speaker 6: show proof of citizenship when they register. She ruled in
- 22:55Speaker 6: favor of ags from several Democrat led states that says
- 22:59Speaker 6: the Constitution give states in Congress the authority to regulate elections.
- 23:05Speaker 6: Speaking at the Reuter's Global Energy Summit, Energy Secretary Chris
- 23:09Speaker 6: Wright said that military escorts of commercial vessels have effectively

- 26:32Speaker 7: I don't believe they were singing this debate on.
- 26:35Speaker 8: A buster.
- 26:37Speaker 9: Reading with Bibles and rum?
- 26:41Speaker 6: Who drinks a toast to the ivory coast Hail they
- 26:46Speaker 6: gotta slave us have the great John McCollum, John Column,
- 26:52Speaker 6: whom most people only know from northern exposure. And I
- 26:56Speaker 6: don't remember particularly if he's Tom Hayward or Thomas Lynch.
- 27:03Speaker 7: Or he might be Rutledge Edward Rutledge.
- 27:07Speaker 6: The South Carolinians who opposed the treaties in the Declaration
- 27:13Speaker 6: of Independence, rebuking the so called Christian King of Great
- 27:20Speaker 6: Britain and is approbrium for Infidel powers over the conscription
- 27:27Speaker 6: of men and the selling of men, which was already
- 27:33Speaker 6: believed to be the case that slaves were men and humans,
- 27:37Speaker 6: and the colonies had tried multiple as it even states
- 27:41Speaker 6: in the Declaration, legislative attempts to save it. But on
- 27:46Speaker 6: June twenty fifth, seventeen seventy six, that debate was raging.
- 27:51Speaker 7: As I said, I.
- 27:52Speaker 6: Don't believe Edward Ruttledge actually was singing that, but at
- 27:57Speaker 6: least in the depiction for seven. And the funny thing
- 28:01Speaker 6: is I first picked that video out of my VCR
- 28:05Speaker 6: collection when we were reading years and years and years ago,
- 28:11Speaker 6: that original Treatise on Slavery from the Library of Congress.
- 28:17Speaker 6: But people were calling claiming it was some right wing
- 28:21Speaker 6: conspiracy theory, that it didn't actually exist, because the first
- 28:26Speaker 6: reaction to hearing something that you've never heard before, and
- 28:29Speaker 6: I don't remember being taught this in school, and for
- 28:33Speaker 6: all its warts, New York City public schools taught me
- 28:36Speaker 6: a whole lot more than it seems like kids in
- 28:38Speaker 6: our public schools are learning today. But this whole bit
- 28:42Speaker 6: about slavery wasn't part of learning about the declaration. Declaration
- 28:47Speaker 6: of Independence is what it is. There was no debate.
- 28:51Speaker 7: They showed up. Thomas Jefferson said here you go. Can
- 28:54Speaker 7: I go home?
- 28:55Speaker 11: Now?
- 28:57Speaker 6: Truthfully, what he was his letters to Martha's I just
- 29:00Speaker 6: want to come home, mommy, Mommy. Government camp is boring,
- 29:06Speaker 6: stuck in a hotel room in Philadelphia, couldn't you imagine?
- 29:12Speaker 6: And we were just sort of taught that he showed
- 29:15Speaker 6: up handed it in. Everyone voted and we were independent.
- 29:19Speaker 6: July second, technically the date, but right now, in the
- 29:22Speaker 6: sweltering heat of Philadelphia, this debate was raging on.
- 29:29Speaker 7: But it's a legal.
- 29:30Speaker 6: Filing because, as I was saying, you know, King John
- 29:34Speaker 6: was such a bad king that Magna Carta was written
- 29:39Speaker 6: putting actual legislative power over the king the sovereign. No
- 29:44Speaker 6: other country had that, No other country had laws that
- 29:48Speaker 6: said if the king didn't do what the king was
- 29:50Speaker 6: supposed to do, the people could kick him out. The
- 29:54Speaker 6: only way people could kick the king out is to
- 29:57Speaker 6: raise up an army and march on him. Charlemagne Batman.
- 30:04Speaker 6: But Magna Carta changed that. So in under Magna Carta,
- 30:09Speaker 6: the reason of abuses and usurpations exists. It's a legal document,
- 30:15Speaker 6: it's a divorce decree saying, you know, we here are
- 30:21Speaker 6: all our grievances against the king. Under Magna Carta. This
- 30:26Speaker 6: is why we no longer recognize his authority. And you know,
- 30:31Speaker 6: this is the beginning of conservatism as well. If you
- 30:34Speaker 6: read Russell Kirk's book, it's really considered the book that
- 30:39Speaker 6: begins Western conservative thought and analysis. It's called a Conservative Mind,
- 30:48Speaker 6: and it begins with a biography and an analysis of
- 30:51Speaker 6: Edmund Burke.
- 30:54Speaker 7: Edmund Burke is the MP from.
- 30:58Speaker 6: Belfast that first received the Declaration of Independence and said
- 31:02Speaker 6: I don't know, lads, I think he's got us dead
- 31:04Speaker 6: to rights. And he didn't get much support in Parliament
- 31:08Speaker 6: at the time. But by the time eight years has
- 31:11Speaker 6: transpired and we get to Yorktown, that movement has pushed
- 31:15Speaker 6: the King to call Cornwallis and Company off
