Donald Trump is getting a final warning to stay the hell out of Madison Square Garden for Game 3 of the NBA finals, Nick fans, sports commentators, athletes, are making it very clear. You are not wanted at the Madison Square Garden. You are a distraction, and Nick's fans in particular are livid.

After the nicks had to announce that fans must arrive hours before the game in order

to accommodate secret service processes that need to take place now.

And significantly for fans, they've now learned that the watch parties outside of Madison Square Garden,

which tens of thousands of fans, if not more, have been attending for free to enjoy these nicknames together that they are now being cancelled. All watch parties are banned because secret service needs to clear all of that space now for Donald Trump. Trump is quite literally destroying the experience of people attending the NBA finals.

But even more significantly because the ticket prices are so high, the New York City community, the people from the boroughs who are showing up there as part of this positivity in the community. They are now being blocked from attending these watch parties outside of MSG. And in typical Trumpy in fashion, he's trying to blame NYPD for it.

And so Trump and Dolan, who's the owner of Madison Square Garden in the nicks, they're trying to act like, oh, it wasn't Donald Trump who had to shut down these watch parties. It was the NYPD who did it. And the NYPD says, uh-uh, it's not us.

It's Trump. Let's be very clear. A new statement from the NYPD is Ryan Glass's legal points out states, there will be no watch party outside of Madison Square Garden. This decision was made because of the secret service.

It was made in coordination with the secret service. There will be watch parties at other locations. We are currently determining where they will be. We'll get back to you when we have more information to share. But the normal watch parties outside of Madison Square Garden are canceled.

So then Madison Square Garden, Dolan, who's a buddy of Donald Trump.

I think he got married like at Marillago as well.

They put out this statement. The permit for the Plaza 33 game three watch party was denied by the city's permitting office in consultation with NYPD. They're trying to shift the blame on Mamdoni and NYPD. However, the White House will confirm that this is not about the president.

We understand NYPD Commissioner Tish is planning additional street closures around Madison Square Garden. So that trigger to statement from NYPD, which says no. There will be no watch parties outside of Madison Square Garden for game three only. This was done fully in coordination with the secret service because president Trump is visiting. We expect watch parties at Madison Square Garden to resume for game four.

Now if you open up New York City, blogs or papers, you know, they're out there saying he runs everything. Donald Trump literally runs everything.

I think that this is very well said by Pablo Tory.

James Dolan, billionaire owner of the next, by the way, who's not beloved in New York is an understatement. James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch game three. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties, happening outside Madison Square Garden for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell while Donald Trump is saying,

and too bad if you can't afford 8,000 to 12,000 dollars seats,

That's just the way life goes.

That's what Donald Trump said.

Now historically, it should be noted that presidents, even if they're beloved, which Donald Trump is not, they avoid events like this. They avoid going to super bowls and Olympics or soccer matches or football matches or events because you realize you're ruining the fans' experience because of the security that has to be around you.

So that's why in the past, you didn't see a lot of former presidents attending events like this.

Even if they would love to see it, they knew that it would be shifting the focus on them and away from the event and it would cause inconvenience. And so former presidents didn't want to cause inconvenience, not Donald Trump. Trump is very happy having the Nick's cancel watch parties and very happy having the Nick's team have to put out a statement saying fans need to arrive two hours early.

And now having a list of things that are banned from showing up. And now all of the Nick's who are getting ready for this game, they have to ask questions about Donald Trump attending the game. And they're just trying to stay focused on the game. And so they're like trying to dodge these questions,

but it's all like, what do you think about Donald Trump? What do you think about Donald Trump? Let me just show you what some of the fans are saying right here. Here's a fan reaction. How do you feel about don't invite and Trump to watch a game here during the finals?

You know, the Nick's game ain't no place for a president. No matter what side, we need bull. That's it! Where Trump W. If he's with the Nick's f***ing, I'm with him. Trump.

Nice. God out of those f***ing. I'm not the last f***ing shot by the way. I love Trump. Trump is the best. He does everything right for the country.

He's shouldn't invite anyone he wants. Let's keep the politics out of this, man. What do we do with the f***ing security lines that are going to take three hours

pro-hosts that don't watch a game? What the f***ing guy?

I mean, he's from New York.

And it won't be the first Nick's game he bets with.

When did he come home? Did he go and come to the game? So this is just how I go. You know what I mean? He, anybody could come. If even if you want a bandwagon, you want a welcome. Just bring the good vibes, man.

As long as there's no negativity, then f***ing another my business. Break 'em, I'm gonna f***ing go away to for anybody. You can believe in whoever you want to believe in. I believe in extra food. That's all I can, that's all I know.

He just want to be a part of history. That's really what it is. Do you think Nick's fans are going to boom? 100%. They go on booing, bro.

I swear to God, just New York. Everybody put up with Trump. So they're going to welcome him with drinks because he's done nothing but fix the economy. And he brought back the troops, the wars over. Thank goodness gracious.

I think the expand is going to be very active.

I might say it which way, but I don't know the reactive. More Nick fan reactions right here. I'll show you over here. Hey, let 'em come. We're gonna boo the f*** out of you, bro. Like let 'em come.

And by the way, I mean, I can go through a bunch of these comments as well. Nick fans are furious. That Trump's attendance is causing major disruptions ahead of game three. And they have to show up hours and hours early that the pre-game festivities are being closed. People are living.

Bro, can we ban this guy from the garden? Regardless of who it is, this is ridiculous. Everyone else life has to be changed because of this. Azalea Banks is like, get this guy that hell away. He ruins everything.

We don't want him here, bro. We don't want him here. Why does he show up? Nobody wants this guy. Secret service has been making repeated messages about him.

Let me show you what sports commentator Stephen A Smith had to say. Play this clip. He's coming to game three of the finals. And I don't want him there. He's coming to game four of the NBA finals.

And I don't want him there. And it has nothing to do with politics policy or anything like that. It has everything to do with him. This rupting and contributing at the same time to the chaos. That's going to be existing in Madison Square Garden.

If there was ever a time, if it were Barack Obama coming to the garden, I would say stay home. Stand the White House. If it was George W. or Clinton or somebody, stand the White House. Don't come.

You don't understand what Monday is going to be like in New York City.

The subways will never be more packed.

Don't drive your cars in midtown. I'm trying to tell you it'll be a parking lot. There is nothing short of madness that is coming the way of everybody. Come Monday.

You don't understand. You don't understand. I have been covering sports for over 30 years.

I'm telling you right now.

Come Monday for game three of the NBA finals at Madison Square Garden. I expect to see an environment.

I have never seen in my entire career covering sports.

You don't understand. You don't understand. Before continuing one quick PSA for the Midas Mighty when it comes to Medicare. Most Medicare agents push Medicare advantage plans. Even when they're not right for you because they make more money doing it.

That's why we strongly recommend you do what thousands.

In our audience have already done speak with chapter please. They don't just share the amazing benefits of Medicare advantage. They explain the pros and cons of all your Medicare options. Original Medicare, Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage and Part D. Chapter supports you in comparing every plan against your specific health care needs.

Because they want to ensure you have the best coverage for you. One chapter member Jill said her advisor presented options. She didn't even see on the medicare.gov website and in many cases. Chapter saves people over 1,100 dollars a year by getting them on the right plan. So if you're on Medicare or will be soon dial 82 Medicare and get honest advice from chapter.

That's 82 Medicare. It's free and quick. They can review your options in under 20 minutes. If you're on the right plan already, they'll tell you. If you're not, they can help you save thousands.

The way they have with thousands of members of the mightest mighty. And here's national security reporter Julia Kiam.

Here's what she had to say about this as well.

Let's play this clip. Do avoid. You've got some politics with the Iranian team. The United States should let the entire team in. And you know, this is now getting silly and petty in New York.

You're going to have American citizens who have a right to protest right to heckle. That's all going to happen. No one should be surprised about it. That's America. But what you do have on the security overlay.

And I think the secret service that unfortunately this just has to happen.

Given that Trump is coming is they're going to basically control the out of perimeter. That means New Yorkers are going to be not going to have the experience that they that they will want. Including the watch parties. You'll have watch parties elsewhere. That's the price of having a president visit one of these.

I hope it's the only one because I do think regardless of who the president is. This would happen in any situation. It's just an increased burden. And and unless absolutely necessary like an Olympics. Generally presidents do of sitting presidents avoid things like that.

Because of the burden on safety and security. You really don't see sitting presidents come to events like this for that reason. So you'll see the mayor adapt. I think he did the right thing. However, I've reluctantly in terms of closing those watch parties nearby.

And then maybe maybe open up more watch parties outside of the of the secure zone. All right. Julie.

I am always great to have you.

Thank you so much. Going to be a summer. Yes. This indeed. It's already started.

Now, I also want to touch on I want to touch on this to which is there was an emergency lawsuit filed to block the UFC fight taking place at the White House in about a week. It was an emergency lawsuit that was brought by residents in the area, including a Vietnam veteran. And they're calling out obviously the UFC for and Trump for basically colluding and providing this for profit company venture where crypto dot com is sponsoring it.

Where $1.5 million seats are being sold. Where this is becoming a promotional tool for the UFC Donald Trump invests in TKO. The parent company of UFC we saw that in Donald Trump's recent fileings. How the claw structure that's now in the White House that Trump's saying. He wants that to be a permanent structure.

And when you do things like that to a space that belongs to the public.

You can't, you know, you have to go through an approval process and a board process.

Now, Trump claims, oh, when Congress approved America 250 events, this is just one of those events. But the lawsuit points out, no, it's not an America 250 event. It's not even a free America 250 is the bipartisan group that was set up to throw 250 year American celebration events. Donald Trump basically ignored America 250 and created freedom 250, which is this mega propaganda thing.

Even the UFC fights not necessarily even freedom 250.

And the question is, under what authority do you have to do this event?

I previously reported how they are expecting thunderstorms on the day of the event, which could be the ultimate karma.

But this lawsuit, you know, and we'll probably hear from a federal judge. I expect this morning, we'll probably hear because it's an emergency lawsuit.

Basically says this entire UFC fight, it's illegal.

I mean, just think about if the White House put up a billboard on top of the White House and sold billboards to Amazon or to whoever. Right, and one of the things that is pointed out in this lawsuit is that the fight is not even accessible to all Americans because paramount, which is the broadcast or they're putting it on their paramount plus platform. And they charge a monthly subscription fee.

So you have to subscribe to paramount to then watch an event that's at the White House, at the very least the lawsuit says it should at least be an event that's open to the public, if it's on public property.

And now you're going to funnel money to paramount through subscription fees of paramount plus. And they say that's in illegal scheme and artifice. And I'll wrap up with this as Donald Trump ruins everything. I mean, he's ruining the world cup right now as well. I talked about this the other day, but we're getting more data. And one of the things he's doing is that he's banning fans from so many countries from attending now.

There are a few countries that have absolute bands where you're not allowed to show up like.

Kotevoa and Iran and Senegal and a few other countries that have absolute bands you can show up.

But then there's a number of countries that basically have a visa rejection rate of over 40%.

So like Senegal, you know, for all purposes, Senegal is a total ban. But Ghana, Congo, Iran, Jordan, Cape Verde, Uzbekistan, Algeria, Haiti, Egypt, Ecuador, basically impossible to get a visa in order for you to watch. Or for you to watch your team here. And then the United States did not give visas to Iran's like managers and, you know, kind of team executives. And so the team got visas, but they have to be in Mexico then they get to show up for the game, but they have to go back to Mexico right after their games.

And they have three games in the United States. But the U.S. did not approve visas for the support staff of Iran, which is very unprecedented in today, you know, in modern sports, even when there's like wars for you to ban people who are part of the athletic and sports team. So we'll keep you posted every step of the way Donald Trump rooted in all of these events.
