I think it 33 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: was Kevin Phillips who wrote this book called the New 34 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: Emerging Republican Majority. I don't know forty or fifty years ago. 35 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: He was a political thinker, strategist and a very brilliant guy, 36 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: but he I think he also I think the same 37 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: guy I wrote the book The Cousins War, and it 38 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: really tracks both the English and the American versions of 39 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: the interconnections of what were going on with the English 40 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 2: Civil War and all the way up through our Civil 41 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: War and really quite frankly to today. Between these this 42 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: group called that were sptually driven, which were the Puritans 43 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: and the Pilgrims, and what part of England they came from, 44 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: and how they were the folks in backer Cromwell and 45 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: anti the king King Charles, and how the cavaliers were 46 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: part of King Charles and they were the entrepreneurs. They 47 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 2: had the spiritual people, the dissenters, the folks that were 48 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: even against the Church of England, the established Order of 49 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: the Church of England, they thought that was too close 50 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: to the Catholic Church with rituals and iconography and all that. 51 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 2: And you had the cavaliers who were very entrepreneurial kind 52 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 2: of drove the British and the British Empire had that 53 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: kind of those tensions and those forces about the missionary 54 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: element of it and the and the folks who put 55 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: forward the bringing of the good News of Jesus Christ 56 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: throughout the world, the missionaries, and it's kind of this 57 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: pilgrim's spirit with the entrepreneurs and the people that eventually, 58 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 2: you know, helped build the British Empire. And it came 59 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: to the United States in the South and particularly in 60 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 2: South Carolina and Virginia. More the entrepreneurs, not that they 61 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 2: didn't have a lot of very religious folks in there, 62 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 2: particularly associated with the Anglican Church or of the Episcopal Church. 63 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: It was called here against the United States, and in 64 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: New England with the Pilgrims and the Puritans, and that 65 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 2: led to eventually the abolition movement up in New England. 66 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: What led to the revolution. He had kind of two 67 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: aspects of the revolution started up in Boston, right started 68 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: up in Boston, but it was finished down south. It 69 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: was finished really in South Carolina, the Low Countries, and 70 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: then the war could continue up all the way to 71 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: Yorktown and finish right there near Williamsburg at Yorktown, Virginia, 72 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: in the defeating the rural Navy off the Virginia Capes 73 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: later in the Civil War. The abolition movement kind of 74 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: coming from New England, and of course the hardcore state 75 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 2: rights or the pro slavery pro slavery element of it 76 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 2: coming from South Carolina, particularly the landed aristocracy and the 77 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: wealthy aristocracy down there in the plantation, the plantations, kind 78 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: of deep cotton South. Fascinating book about American history and 79 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: how it kind of rolls through even today. You see 80 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: kind of the progressive forces and you have this kind 81 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: of populous nationalist movement that sprung out of the South 82 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: in the UH and really aspects of what we call 83 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: the the parts of the Midwest, the inter Mountain West. 84 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: I guess you would call it the inter Mountain West 85 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: up in Wyoming and Montana and Idaho, the Christian Redoubt 86 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 2: or the American Redoubt as we call it. There's a 87 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: fascinating film. It doesn't you know the New World you 88 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 2: just saw. I realized that's a little shocking. That's modern filmmaking. 89 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: Like I said, I'm not a big fan of the 90 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: entire movie, but there are elements of it that you 91 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 2: just feel like, Wow, how scary is this? Right? What 92 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 2: do these people really get themselves into? Because they had 93 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: no earthy idea of trust me, they were kind of 94 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: overwhelmed by that. But it shows you the tenacity to 95 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: kind of go through the fear of that and actually 96 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: to make sure that you can just keep it together 97 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 2: long enough for that colony to survive. In Jamestown, they 98 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 2: got back on the boats and were headed out. I 99 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: think after a year year and a half. They were 100 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: starving a lot of these soldiers of fortune and these 101 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: the fortune seekers, the guys looking for the fountain of 102 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: looking for the gold and the fountain of youth. Didn't 103 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: want to farm, and they were just getting crushed. They 104 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: actually got on a boat and left and they kind 105 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: of met a relief force, a relief boat with supplies 106 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 2: coming in, and they turned around. I mean this was 107 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: hanging by a string to keep a foothold. There. Same 108 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 2: up in New England. I mean they barely barely hung on, 109 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: but they did and eventually the stories of the First 110 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: Thanksgiving and working with the Native Americans who are their allies. 111 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 2: And the reason was that the Native Americans, the Indians 112 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: had very sophisticated alliances. They were very sophisticated in the 113 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: kind of the geopolitics or the geostrategic efforts, both in 114 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: New England and in down south, you know, the Iroquois 115 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: Confederation up in New York. These were very sophisticated about 116 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: their alliances, and they looked at the whites. They looked 117 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: at the settlers as just another group that could help 118 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: them drive what they wanted to accomplish geopolitically. That's the 119 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: fascinating thing I find fascinating about the first one hundred 120 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: and so years of the United States is the alliances 121 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: of teaming up and partnering with certain Native American tribes 122 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 2: and confederations against others. And these were very sophisticated. Obviously 123 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: in one part of culture they were very unsophisticated, but 124 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: really in military how to fight, how to think through fighting, 125 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: how to hold territory, how to really think through alliances. 126 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: The Native Americans, the Indians were very sophisticated, and you 127 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 2: see this in their partnering with different of the white groups. 128 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: There's a film from the nineteen fifties called Plymouth Adventure. 129 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 2: I think it was kind of a hit at the time, 130 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 2: not as big as they thought it was. Had an 131 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 2: all star cast, Spencer Tracy at the top of his game, 132 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 2: Gene Tierney, who is considered by many of those beatiful 133 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: woman in Hollywood. She plays the wife of one of 134 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 2: the leaders of the Pilgrims. Leo Glenn plays her husband. 135 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: I think it's Bradford. They had that controversial issue with 136 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 2: his wife on board the ship and then even afterwards. 137 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 2: I find the film fascinating. I've seen it many many times. 138 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 2: It hasn't gotten a lot of play. I want to 139 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: play the I want to put that on your notebook 140 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: to make sure if you get a chance, either and 141 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: Turner classic movies, or you just get it yourself, you'll 142 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: be rewarded. Let's go and play there. We got a clip. 143 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: I think it may be the trailer. It's very hard 144 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: to find clips in this The Plymouth Adventure, I think 145 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: is from nineteen fifty three Plymouth Adventure from MGM. Let's 146 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 2: go and play it. 147 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 3: Hey, ruddy, your sales. 148 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 4: Clare that tax get the lawyer Philip Glass were selling. 149 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 5: These were ordorary men and women, the strong, the violence, 150 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 5: the tender and the weak. But they were marked for greatness, 151 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 5: with the immortal courage to risk any danger to find 152 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 5: a free world. Here, something new and bright and glorious 153 00:10:49,720 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 5: had its beginning. Out of the storm, another storm is 154 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 5: born the emotional conflict of this man and this woman. 155 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 5: Plymouth Adventure is first the human story of a strange 156 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 5: fascination and the regeneration of the disillusioned man. 157 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 4: It will soon be over for all of us, your 158 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 4: adventurers and your saints, and Bradford with his frenzy of religion, 159 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 4: and you with your sense of duty that has your 160 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 4: breeding in the soul, and these knights alone with this 161 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 4: hunger for you that will not make You're not alone 162 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 4: in this what makes you think only you can feel? 163 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: Others have known the hunger you speak. 164 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 6: Of and have lived to tell, Yes, never to tell. 165 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 7: And one thing more, I've guessed your secret.

It's a book. If you 204 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: have time or can make time, I really recommend. It's 205 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: absolutely fascinating. All the dots he connects the film, and 206 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: it hasn't It doesn't get played a lot. I think 207 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 2: every now and again on Turner Classic Movies, but it's 208 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 2: not one that's like a regular to me. It should 209 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: be shown on TV all the time over Thanksgiving. Is 210 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: a Pilgrim the Plymouth Adventure. Now, it just really deals 211 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 2: with the journey. Spencer Tracy is the captain, and he's 212 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: a guy that's really against the he's not a friend 213 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 2: of the of the of the Pilgrims of the Puritans 214 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 2: at all. In fact, he finds it to be. He 215 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: finds him to be quite unctious and obnoxious, and he 216 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: gives them a hard time throughout the entire throughout the 217 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 2: entire time of the journey. But it's fascinating to see 218 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 2: what happens on the ship and kind of the things 219 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: that come, particularly when the speed well, the second boat 220 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 2: can't leave and they got to take one hundred and 221 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 2: it's a very tiny vessel. It's already crammed. They take 222 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 2: one hundred of the pilgrims, additional one hundred of pilgrims, 223 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 2: I think thirty children, something like forty women. It's incredible. 224 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 2: Over half of their over fifty percent of women and 225 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: children go on to the Mayflower and it was just 226 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 2: completely jammed. You see the horrific nature of the journey 227 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 2: just across the Atlantic, and how they were fooled about 228 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 2: even they were supposed to go to Virginia. The Virginia 229 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 2: Company was theoretically paying their way, but you see all 230 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 2: the deals that were cut and how people are trying 231 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 2: to make money off these religious settlers, and then it 232 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 2: ends really I think around the Mayfair a Flower Compact, 233 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: when really they're just starting to go ashore in the 234 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 2: very early years to how they're going to govern themselves, 235 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: and how they came up with these kind of democratic 236 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: institutions to make sure as free men and free women 237 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 2: they could actually make decisions about themselves. Of course, later 238 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: in Russia Limb, but we'd have that, always had that 239 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 2: great Thanksgiving, you know, talk every year talking about how 240 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 2: they went in as communists and they came out as entrepreneurs. 241 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 2: They realized that hey, the collective, the collectivization of the 242 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 2: plots didn't quite work, that you had to have initial 243 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 2: individual initiative and kind of self determination. I want to 244 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: pivot a moment. I want to talk some of that 245 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: in the foundation of the country. Obviously, the foundational element 246 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: of thanksgiving and why we give thanks and have done 247 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 2: it since we arrived here that we're a providential nation 248 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 2: where the New Jerusalem people have been aware of that 249 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 2: from the very beginning, and we've offered thanks to God 250 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: for that. We're a providential nation now more than ever, 251 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 2: I think the New Jerusalem, the city on the Hill, 252 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: more than ever. And has this been in perfect Absolutely 253 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 2: have the elites created kind of a anti culture and 254 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 2: anti civilization that's quite toxic they have. Are we beating 255 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 2: that back of one taking it back one block of time? 256 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 10: We are? 257 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 2: Are we winning? We are, we ascend it. We are 258 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 2: and that's one thing to give. Thanks to give, thanks 259 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 2: to God for putting you in this time and place. 260 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 2: You talk about American history. You love American history, love 261 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 2: your country. Where you're in one of the most important 262 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 2: hinges of history in the countries, in the country's complete 263 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 2: time on this earth. I want to pivot from I 264 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 2: want to go to Hillsdale. Two things I want to 265 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: talk about too. Cuts I'm gonna show you is about 266 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 2: the Roman Republic in the Roman Empire and how much 267 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 2: they are like us in the fact of some of 268 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 2: the issues they dealt with. I first want to go 269 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,479 Speaker 2: this was a course, so course you can still take 270 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 2: it Hillsdale Remote, and I recommend to people, if you've 271 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 2: got a chance to take it, to take it. But 272 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 2: I just want to They emphasize the importance of Roman 273 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 2: history to Americans, and particularly the importance of the history 274 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 2: of the Roman Republic to the revolutionary generation and to 275 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 2: the founders of our nations. Let's go ahead and play there. 276 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 2: From Hillsdale College, The. 277 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 12: History of the Roman Republic is a cautionary tale. We 278 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 12: are going on a journey that will teach us a 279 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 12: great many things about a free society. 280 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 13: The Roman Republic is one of the finest systems of 281 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 13: government that the world has ever known. The reason we 282 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 13: should study the ancients is because it makes us better 283 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 13: human beings. 284 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 14: In the progressive modern world, we want to think that 285 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 14: human beings can be perfected. But really what history teaches 286 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 14: us is that we're the same people. If we, as 287 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 14: a free society, think that we are facing unusual tensions 288 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 14: and events, we've got to understand that there were mobs 289 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 14: in Rome. There was all kinds of trouble that they 290 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 14: were facing. We don't have to be Rome. We learned 291 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 14: from the Roman Republic, the lessons of citizenship, the lessons 292 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 14: of tyranny and what it all means for a free 293 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 14: society to face difficult times, particularly if those difficult times 294 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 14: are a result of their own success. 295 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 13: The histories are themselves a kind of moral education, a 296 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 13: political education. We as a nation would be far better 297 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 13: off if we spend more of our time studying those 298 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 13: examples from Roman history. 299 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 2: Why should you take the time to study these old 300 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 2: and complicated things. The answer is it's the best single 301 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: thing you can do. 302 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 14: The study of the Roman Republic is really one of 303 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 14: the most important things we can do as Americans or 304 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 14: our founders Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison all study the Roman 305 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 14: Republic as they created the American Republic. It's very important 306 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 14: for us to understand why this is our course on 307 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 14: the Roman Republic. 308 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 12: Let's begin. 309 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 2: Don't forget Hamilton. 310 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 14: No. 311 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 2: I love that spot and the reason I love it 312 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 2: it ties together a lot. It absolutely is. And for 313 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 2: the war and posse and going for I know you 314 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: guys have done such a great job today, and as 315 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 2: you one of the things to give thanks for, I think, 316 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 2: is that we had the founders of a nation. How 317 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: many other nations can look and see the founders that 318 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: we had. When you look at the men and the 319 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 2: women that stepped forward to build this nation, and they 320 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 2: look back. They understood history. These were incredibly smart. I 321 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 2: would say public intellectuals, a lot of them, but there 322 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 2: were men and women of action. They understood that using 323 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: their agency in this world and the material world was 324 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 2: important to build something, to leave something behind. They always thought, 325 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 2: They always thought downrange, They always thought of future generations. 326 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: They always put off from themselves benefits they could have 327 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,239 Speaker 2: had easily think about future generations. That, if I think, 328 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 2: it's a defining characteristic of this audience and a finding 329 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 2: characteristic of the MAGA movement, is that we're prepared to 330 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 2: sacrifice today for future generations. But we understand in sacrificing today, 331 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 2: we can't put off decisions. People always say, well, elections 332 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 2: about the future. What that means is about happy talk 333 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 2: and selling you something.

When your friends continually attack us, 432 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 7: this is treason. These people have proved their aims very. 433 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 6: Clearly to destroy us and to destroy the whole Roman 434 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 6: way of life. 435 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 12: And yet. 436 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 2: The answer is simple. 437 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 7: Let us transform my friends from medal war to men 438 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,959 Speaker 7: of peace.

Where are they now all sold or freed? 446 00:32:54,760 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 7: White because Niger is opposed to slavery. No, because it's 447 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 7: no longer profitable to keep slaves. Slaves do not produce 448 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 7: as much as free men. Let us do what is 449 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 7: profitable and write. Let us share the greatest gift of all. 450 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 7: Let us give these men the rights of Roman freedom, 451 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 7: and they will spread the word that Rome has accepted 452 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 7: them as equals, then will we have our human frontiers, 453 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 7: the Roman peace that Marcus Aurelius promised. 454 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 3: Caesar. In the name of Caesar. 455 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 6: Caesar has asked me, when has Rome ever been greater 456 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 6: or stronger?
