Fox News host Jesse Watters reacts to President Biden comparing himself to George Washington on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

BIDEN MARKS THREE YEARS SINCE JAN. 6 BLASTING TRUMP, SAYING HE IS 'TRYING TO STEAL HISTORY'

JESSE WATTERS: When the first shots of the Revolutionary War rang out almost 250 years ago, the country needed someone who would not only unite the colonies but lead an army of unskilled soldiers into battle. That man, George Washington, who fended off the siege of Boston under the cover of darkness, who mobilized his men at Valley Forge and forced the British to surrender in Yorktown. George Washington defied the odds. Now, Joe Biden thinks he can repeat history. After a week long Caribbean vacation where he, who just had skin cancer, returned with a sunburn. Joe Biden took another two days off, then went to Valley Forge to say: I'm Joe Washington.

JOE BIDEN: General George Washington knew he faced the most daunting of tasks. To fight and win a war against the most powerful empire in existence in the world at the time... Today, we gather in a new year, some 246 years later, just one day before January 6th. A day forever shared in our memory because it was on that day that we nearly lost America. Lost it all.

JESSE WATTERS: The man who says he's a Puerto Rican truck-driving Jewish professor now has a new identity. That's the campaign strategy Joe Biden is identifying as George Washington and says Trump is a dangerous British monarch who's trying to kill democracy with a dagger.

JOE BIDEN: It's the first national election since January 6th. Insurrection placed a dagger at the throat of American democracy since that moment. We all know who Donald Trump is. The question we have to answer is, who are we? That's what's at stake. Who are we?

JESSE WATTERS: So what is at stake? Well, Biden says the election is a choice between democracy and dictatorship.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving pushed back against reports he asked for the removal of a sign a fan was holding during Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. But, at one point during the first quarter, Irving and the fan were seen having some sort of exchange.

The fan was later identified as Avremi Zippel, a rabbi and longtime Jazz season ticket holder. Zippel sat courtside during the New Year's Day game with a sign that said, "I'm a Jew and I'm proud." The message appeared to reference the backlash Irving faced after he posted a link to an antisemitic film on social media in 2022. Irving was a member of the Brooklyn Nets at the time.

Irving initially declined to apologize for the post, prompting the Nets to suspend him indefinitely Nov. 3, 2022. One day later, Nike announced the company had trminated its relationship with the star.

Riverton, Utah, Mayor Trent Staggs made an appearance on Dan Dakich of Outkick's "Don't @ Me" show and discussed Irving and the courtside sign. Riverton is located about 20 miles from the Jazz's home arena.

"If that sign is distracting to an NBA player, I think he needs to get a new line of work," Staggs told Dakich. "I've been to so many Jazz games where they've passed out towels that we wave and thunderclap sticks and so many other things that I would find so much more distracting than a sign."

Zippel is believed to have attended the game with a group that included some of his family members and other rabbis.

Irving reportedly attempted to make it clear that he feels "no disrespect" for the rabbis. 

"I wish him and his family well," Irving said Wednesday via The Athletic. "No disrespect going his way. That’s not my MO."

Zippel said Jazz representatives approached him and asked him to put the sign away or switch to seats a few rows back. Zippel also claimed he was given conflicting explanations for why he may not have been permitted to display the sign in the front row.

Zippel told The Athletic he and his group took a picture with the signs before the game, and arena security did not raise any concerns at the time.

According to Staggs, Zippel looked into the arena guidelines on fan signage before he entered the building.

"(The sign) was 11 inches by 17 inches, which the rabbi checked out the Jazz's audience code of conduct and made sure that the sign was within the limits … the regulation size. So, he was well within his right to have that sign," Staggs said.

The Jazz released a statement saying the organization did not take issue with the signs' messages, but said the signs were removed due to their interference with the game.

"The part-time employee who told the fans it was the content of the sign that was the problem was incorrect. The issue was the disruptive interaction caused by usage of the signs, not the content of the signs," the team said in its statement.
