Benedict Arnold

You know, I can't believe a guy who has all those benefits and all that prestige would put all that on the line for this treasonous act.

What they're doing right now is nothing different than what Benedict Arnold did during the Revolutionary War.

He was the second in command of the Revolutionary Forces.

He was just under George Washington.

The attorneys placed Ford on the witness stand for the purpose of proving to the jury that he was ignorant.

They asked questions such as, who was Benedict Arnold? How many soldiers did the British send to America in 1776? Ford replied, I do not know the exact number, but I heard it was a considerably larger number than ever went back.

Finally, Ford became tired of the questioning.

He leaned over and pointed his finger at the lawyer.

The Founding Fathers believed God answered their prayers.

Towards the end of the war, General Benedict Arnold agreed to betray General George Washington and West Point.

I mentioned this last week.

After the plot was improbably foiled, Washington didn't credit luck.

You're a sellout.

You're a Benedict Arnold.

Anytime you tell me I don't hate the Jets, you just proved it.

I just knew that you wanted that.

And Paulding later testifies that if Andre had used that pass first, he would have gotten through.

that it was a legitimate pass from Benedict Arnold.

Paulding was literate.

He could have seen it.

I wanted to shift the conversation from the land, which we've well covered, to the water, to the Hudson River, which runs all along the length of Westchester County.

As we talked about earlier, the American army sets itself up a little further in the highlands, puts a chain across the river at West Point and creates a fort there.

And eventually, Washington appoints Benedict Arnold to command that fort, which becomes the subject of his treason.

Westchester plays a role in his capture and a role in the transportation between West Point and New York City.

What he does is put together a group of soldiers who try to scale these high cliffs and enter the city.

Benedict Arnold, who will be of fame during the revolution, is one of the men who volunteers to be a part of this.

As these guys are scaling and entering from the back end, hopefully not to be discovered, Wolf puts together a bit of a ruse.

He has been spreading rumors that his army is sick with malaria or some other consumption, some kind of disease.

The hatchet has been buried.

If that can happen after he went Benedict Arnold and joined the heat, then there's hope for this relationship between JB and JT.

There really is.

But it's a divorce.

And that's one of the reasons that Iran has launched quite a few strikes on UAE and its energy and gas facilities because they don't really consider them a Muslim or Arab neighbor.

They consider him the Benedict Arnold.

You know, just saying.

Well, we're going to find out what happens to that election tomorrow.
