1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You don't have to dip forever. You know that, Ryan,

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to smoke forever. And the reason I

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: say it like that is I have been that guy.

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: I've been that guy. I dipped for so long, and

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit.

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man,

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey.

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: And I would fail time and time and time again.

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: I tried things like the patch, it didn't work, gum,

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: sunflower seeds. I tried at all. It's just a matter

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: of finding the right thing to help you quit. That's

12

Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show. What if all the things you want

21
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: to matter don't actually matter when it comes to achieving success?

22
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: What if everything you think is wrong, everything you've been

23
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: told is wrong, or everything you focus on is wrong.

24
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: We have an awesome, awesome Monday Show for you today.

25
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: We got obviously Michael Malice on next hour, as he

26
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: always is. Following hour, we have an author whose book

27
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: was banned from target. The cancel culture came for her.

28
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: How are we going to approach things like that? We'll

29
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: talk about that today. We're going to talk about the

30
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: nuclear news cycle today, one of these theories I have.

31
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about this fraud stuff and Sydney Powell,

32
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: an election interference and what's real and what's not real.

33
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: We're gonna lay all that out, and we're going to

34
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: talk about my established political philosophy some more. But first

35
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: of all, addressing what matters is very, very very difficult

36
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: sometimes and oftentimes it's the only thing that matters is

37
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: figuring out what matters. Ironic, how that works. My mentor

38
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: in this business, Michael Berry, as he was teaching me things,

39
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: we would go, I've only been doing media a couple

40
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: of years. I know that's unbelievable because I'm so good

41
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: at it. But I've only been doing this a couple

42
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: of years. And this didn't begin with me having a

43
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: naturally syndicated radio show or TV show. This began with

44
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: me sitting with obviously humongous radio star Michael Berry on

45
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: his back porch several nights, sipping bourbon, smoking cigars and talking.

46
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: And one of the things he always drove home to

47
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: me was this. And it's something I tell as I

48
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: try to help younger people in this business come along

49
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: to this day. I tell them, because people don't want

50
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: to hear this at all, I tell them, you are

51
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: not an activist, not anymore. Virtually everybody who listens to you,

52
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: watches you, read to you, whatever you do, they are activists.

53
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: You can pursue some forms of activism. Your show is

54
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: one of the great forms of activism if it can

55
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: get people to rally towards something or change people's thinking.

56
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you you're not in it to believe

57
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: it anymore. What I'm saying is, you're not an activist anymore.

58
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: You now have an obligation to whoever you write columns for,

59
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: whoever you do a radio show, whoever you do a

60
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: TV show for and your job above everything else in

61
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: the world when it comes to work, is be interesting.

62
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: And the problem is, and I've found this time and

63
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: time again, Michael Berry warned me, I would, he said,

64
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,559
Speaker 1: of them, won't get it, won't believe you, won't want

65
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: to believe you, and so they'll go off and do

66
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: stupid things all the time. The reason job number one

67
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: has to be interesting isn't because activism doesn't matter. Believe me,

68
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: we're going to go into that a lot today. You

69
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: and I have got to be activists as much as possible.

70
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: It's because unless you're interesting, unless they want to read

71
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: what you're writing, watch what you're doing on TV, listen

72
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: to you on the radio. Unless you're interesting, you're talking

73
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: to the wall. Interesting has to be items one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,

74
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: and ten, because eleven doesn't matter if you're not. It

75
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: doesn't matter that I tell history stories you enjoy. If

76
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: nobody's listening, it doesn't matter that I have different views

77
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: on politics and you like them or this person likes them.

78
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: If nobody's listening, people change the channel. The Jesse Kelly

79
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: Show goes away, And that's not up to you. It's

80
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: one of the weird things about this relationship. You can't

81
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: do anything about that. That's all on me. Either I'm

82
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: interesting or I'm gone. Period. It's that simple. Thankfully, I

83
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: don't worry. That was not a cry for health. The

84
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: show's doing very, very well. We'll have another announcement coming

85
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: up very soon. But we're fine. Which leads me to

86
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: our history story, our battle today. It's so hard to

87
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: figure out what the big deal is, what actually matters

88
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: amongst all the noise, and one of the guys historically,

89
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 1: one of the most underrated people ever in the history

90
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: of war and the history of the world was Philip

91
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: the Second of Macedonia. Here's the thing. You probably haven't

92
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: even heard his name. Maybe you've heard his son's name.

93
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: His name was how do you say this? Alexander the Great.

94
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: Alexander the Great was great. Let's clarify something. And he's

95
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: gonna play a part, an important part in our story today.

96
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 1: But understand this, Alexander the Great was great, never lost

97
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: a battle, carved through the Persians like a blow towards

98
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: through butter, took over everything he touched. Who we love

99
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: in Alexander Alexander, Alexander inherited the greatest army in the world.

100
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: He inherited that army from his father. You know what

101
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: army his father inherited crap. Not only did Alexander inherit

102
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: this army from his father, he inherited one his father

103
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: built from scratch because his father surveyed the Persian landscape,

104
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: surveyed the Greek landscape, and simply thought, they're all focusing

105
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: on the wrong things, all of them. Oh, they have

106
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: their benefits, but they're all worried about the wrong things.

107
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to worry about what actually matters. You see,

108
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: Macedonia then and now you can look it up to

109
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: this day is really not an appealing country geographically, and

110
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: I can't stress that enough. That is no offense to Macedonians,

111
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: although you don't worry, you know, I don't worry about

112
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: offending people. But I met this Macedonian chick one time

113
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: when I was in the Marine Corps. She was absolutely

114
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: smoking hot. So I don't want to offend her. If

115
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: she's listening, Chris, what what? There's no offense to Macedonian's

116
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: But it's rocky, it's cold, really cold in the wintertime.

117
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: It is not ancient times or now a wealthy nation,

118
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: they just don't have the geography resources for it. Not

119
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: only did Philip build this juggernaut, he built it from

120
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: a place that had no business being a juggernaut. Part

121
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: of this was keeping the big deal the big deal,

122
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: and part of this was Philip also saw an opportunity.

123
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: Let's focus on Grease for a moment, because that's where

124
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: our story is going to take place today. As you

125
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: know because you listen to this show, Grease wasn't Grease really.

126
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: They all considered the themselves Greek, yes, but they were

127
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: very much individual city states, a city state, the big

128
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: ones like Sparta and Athens and Thebes, who will all

129
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: have a role to play in our story today. They

130
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: consider themselves really their own nation. Now, yes, they did

131
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: also consider themselves Greek, and on occasion they would join

132
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: together to fight off an outside force, but they slaughtered

133
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: each other a yeah. The Jesse Kelly Show natural medicines

135
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: like anxiety, headaches, joint pain. You have any more of that,

136
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: I've got some. I choose CBD. But the problem with

137
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: choosing CBD is so many people were trying to get

138
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: in that CBD game. You can't work out what's good

139
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: and what's not. And believe me when I tell you,

150
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: to think they had an occasional spat. I would want

151
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: you to imagine this, they just got done fighting wars

152

153
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: I get to things like Athens and Sparta, and you're

154
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: gonna think about Athens as great navy and good military,

155
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: and you're gonna think about, obviously the Spartans. Everyone knows

156
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: the Spartans and how great they were. You should know

157
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: a hundred years of war. They were each a shell,

158
00:12:54,760 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: a shell of themselves shell. They're not them anymore. Philip,

159
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: he has a plan, and his plan is this, I'm

160
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: gonna take over the whole place. He looked at Greece

161
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: and wanted to take over the whole place. Now, Philip

162
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: was famously a rough dude. The Macedonians themselves had reputation

163
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: for being uncultured barbarians. They were looked down upon before

164
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: this time. So Philip is a rough dude. But funny

165
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: thing about Philip, tell me if this sounds familiar at

166
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: all anything you see out there today Philip, Yeah, you

167
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: wanted to kill a bunch of people, take control of everything,

168
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: But he really saw himself as a uniter. Just look,

169
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: it's better for everybody if these city states. I'll just

170
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: do what I say. That's really the greater good. I

171
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: understand there's going to be some resistance to it. That's five.

172
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: Will just kill them and get rid of anyone who disagrees,

173
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: and then it will be fine. Once we do that,

174
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: we'll kill or enslave everyone who disagrees with me, and

175
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: then look at all the peace by sound familiar at all?

176
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: The Macedonians also, it's time to do a little nerd

177
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: out breakdown on their army, because this is going to

178
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: matter a lot for our story. Greek Greece, hop Lights,

179
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: with the exception of Sparta. We're gonna set Sparta aside

180
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: because Sparta had a professional military. Their entire city state

181
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: was geared towards their military. The rest of Greece. When

182
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: I say hop lights, that's what they called the Greek soul,

183
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: the Greek soldier. You know, this had a shield, had

184
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: a spear, fought in what is called a phalanx, a

185
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: big box that was nothing but spears for coming out

186
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: the front of it. Seven to twelve foot spears. Pay

187
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: attention because that's going to matter a lot for our story.

188
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: Seven to twelve foot spears. The phalanx very very, very inflexible, deadly.

189
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: From the front. If you could get around the sides

190
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: of it, create gaps in it, it was virtually useless.

191
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: But from the front it was virtually impregnable. You can't

192
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: charge it with horses, you can't charge it with infantry.

193
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: It's just a wall of shields and spears. That was

194
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: the Greek phalanx. However, you need to set aside the

195
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: movie three hundred for a moment because that was Sparta.

196
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: This is different. Understand what a phalanx would look like

197
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: for every other Greek city state. It was not not

198
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: a fashional army. They didn't have huge standing professional armies.

199
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: Almost nobody did back at this time. It was very,

200
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: very rare. It was a volunteer army for the most point,

201
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: although a source of pride. The armor you wore, the shield,

202
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: the chest, armor, the helmet, you paid for it. It

203
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: was whatever you bought. It was also oftentimes the difference

204
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: between you know, you'll see the light guys in the

205
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: movies where they don't have it. He doesn't even have

206
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: any armor. They just gave that guy a sling or

207
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: a bow. What's wrong with that guy? Let me clarify,

208
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: what you're seeing lots of the time is a poor guy.

209
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: Because the poor guy would volunteer for War two, but

210
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: he didn't have the money for armor and fancy things.

211
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: So he gets a sling, he gets a bow. The

212
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: guy up there with the fancy shiny armor and shining

213
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: helmet and big old bronze shield, that's the dude with

214
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: a lot of money because that stuff is expensive. Now.

215
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: Because they were an army of citizens, it left you

216
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: with certain limitations. If you're a Greek city state one,

217
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: they just wouldn't show up during certain seasons because most

218
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: of these guys were farmers. Oh you're going to war

219
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: e you know. I hate to bring this up, but

220
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: the corn is coming in that time of year. You're

221
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: gonna have to postpone for a month or I'm not coming.

222
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: That's not a small thing. It was a huge problem.

223
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: It's not a professional army, it's not your armies. A volunteer,

224
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: it's not coming. But the people who did show up

225
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: extremely patriotic morale through the roof. You showed up, and

226
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: you were dang proud to put on the armor, in

227
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: the shield and the spear. I'm gonna fight for Athens.

228
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: They probably would not have called it fight for Greece,

229
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: but you were gonna fight for Thieves or Athens or

230
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: any one of these other places. Athens had been worn

231
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: down to the nubs in their war with Sparta. Thebes

232
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: was on the rise. We did a show recently about

233
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: the Battle of Leuctra where Thieves had actually defeated Sparta.

234
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: It had really never happened before in a straight up

235
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: head to head fight. Thieves is on the rise, and

236
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: let's focus on those two. Phillips looks at Athens. He

237
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: sees that Athens is down week Philip, he thinks he

238
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: can take these Athens guys. All he needs to do

239
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: is convinced Thebes to either join his side against Athens

240
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: or stay out of it. Now, why does Philip think

241
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: he can beat Athens? Because Philip did a couple different things. One,

242
00:18:54,520 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: Philip looked around and thought, well, I'm just gonna get

243
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: a professional army that's here all the time. I realize

244
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: that will cost money. I'll go to feed Athens and

245
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: take all the money I need. And Philip gets himself

246
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: a professional army, and he goes down to Thebes and says, hey, Thebes,

247
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: I would like you to join with me. And he

248
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: offers them virtually everything. You can do, this, you can

249
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: do that, keep your government. I know you have an

250
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: oligarchy over there. And Thees, oh, you want to keep

251
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: your oligarchy, keep your oligarchy, do whatever you want. Look,

252
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: you just come along, just don't fight against you when

253
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: I fight Athens, and it'll be fine. And Thieves is

254
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: considering it. Athens shows up. The envoy from Athens shows

255
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: up about this exact time, because Athens is panicking about

256
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: this Macedonian army coming down. And Athens tells Thebes, whatever

257
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: they offered you, we will for more. The people of

258
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: Athens were scared to death because they had just lost

259
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: so many in wars. They knew they were weak. They'd

260
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: look down upon these barbarian Macedonians for a long time,

261
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: and they look up and find a professional army of

262
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: them marching through. And the Macedonians were powerful. They were

263
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: powerful for a couple different reasons, not only the leadership

264
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: of Philip. They were powerful because they had something called

265
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: the companion cavalry. That's what Alexander the Great lad You

266
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: see up where Macedonia was, it was so rough, so rocky,

267
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: so mountainous, you had to have horses to get by.

268
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: Therefore you have a bunch of air fingers quote, uncultured

269
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: barbarians who just so happened to be outstanding on horseback,

270
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: and they create an army of cavalry from this. Now

271
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: Athens shows up, offers Thebes the world. Thebes looks at

272
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: Phillips guys, look at Athens guys, and they think, you know,

273
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: screw Macedonia, We're joining with Athens, and they ride off

274
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: to join with Athens and line up their army against

275
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:50,000

293
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: on the Thebes Sweepstakes and now he has to take

294
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: on Athens and thieves. Remember, we have Michael Malice coming up.

Speaker 1: New Jersey. Because if there's anything good about New Jersey one,

299
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: it's the sandwiches and pizza they really can't eat back East. Two,

300
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: it's the audio clips. Gosh, Jersey people were the best,

301
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: the best. Back to Philip, he loses out on Thebes.

302
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: Thebes goes back joins with Athens. The Greeks post up

303
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: in a mountain pass, so Philip in his army cannot

304
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: march through and go to where they want to go to.

305
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: I should point out briefly because I skipped over it earlier.

306
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: I didn't want to bog down the story, but it

307
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: probably does matter. Philip kicked off this war with Athens

308
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: basically by doing this. He wanted a place called Pittna

309
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: from Athens. Pittna was wealthy, Philip wanted it. He offered

310
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: Athens a city of his own if Athens would give

311
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: him Pittna. Athens thinks about it and says, I like

312
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,719
Speaker 1: that deal. Here's Pittna. Philip says, oh, thanks, I just

313
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: took Pittna. Athens says, well, wait a minute, where's our city?

314
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: And Philip says, I was kidding. You know, you can't

315
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: have that city at all. Athens is mad. Okay, fast

316
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: forward back to the war the Mountain Pass. Philip doesn't

317
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: want to take on a Greek hop light phalanx in

318
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: a mountain pass. That's where a Greek hop light phalanx

319
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: would do perfectly when you can't circle around behind him.

320
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: So what he does He distributes a letter. Widely distributes

321
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: a letter, maybe a little too widely, distributes a letter saying,

322
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: all right, I don't want this war. I'm packing up

323
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: my stuff and I am going back home. Never mind Greeks,

324
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: We're going back home. And he actually starts moving his

325
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: army back home. Surprise, surprise, the letter manages to find

326
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: its way into Greek hands and they say, whoo nice

327
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: lighting up no worries. Philip promptly spends or sends his

328
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: version of special forces back behind the Greek lines, destroys

329
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: the people at the Mountain Pass, and now the Athens

330
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: slash Thebes group have to line up opposite of Philip,

331
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: and they do. They line up for battle, and the

332
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: Athenians have the high ground. Philip does not have the

333
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: high ground. Philip has a bunch of great generals underneath him,

334
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: but he chooses to put a young man by the

335
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: name of Alexander in charge of his companion cavalry, even

336
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: though he had other people who were more experienced. Yeah,

337
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: other people who were more experienced. But Philip not exactly

338
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: the coddling father type. Philip was a man though, who

339
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: appreciated talents, and I would like to imagine that there

340
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: was a moment as big of a barbarian conqueror as

341
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: he was. I'd like to imagine there was a moment

342
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: where Philip looked at his son Alexander and thought, oh

343
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: my gosh, this kid is really, really, really good. That

344
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: had to be a cool fatherly moment. Right. Then again,

345
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: from the stories we hear, Philip may have been trying

346
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: to kill him, and Philip has assassinated later on, but

347
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: that's another story entirely. Like I said, he wasn't a

348
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: softy teddy bear. They line up against Athens and Thebes.

349
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: They square off. They square off, there's a feigned retreat

350
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: from Philip Athens moves off the high ground, and then

351
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: the Athenians they start to get slaughtered. They start to

352
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: go down a lot faster than the Macedonians are going down.

353
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: And how can this happen? I don't understand. These are

354
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: the Greek hoplights. They never go down like this. What

355
00:27:54,800 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: how did this happen? Well, you see, Philip didn't see

356
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: things like everyone else saw him saw things. He didn't

357
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: see warfare like everyone else saw warfare. Philip looked at

358
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: the Greek phalanx system, you know, the shield, the armor,

359
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: the spear, and he could have looked at it like

360
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: everyone else, including every other general, and thought, wow, I

361
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: mean that works fine. Maybe we can make an adjustment here.

362
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we'll put up. We'll put more

363
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: guys over here. That'll make this thicker. We'll put we'll

364
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: thicking up this line, and we'll move this here a

365
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: little bit. But overall, I mean, obviously, this is how

366
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: warfare has done. Right. Philip looked at it and thought

367
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: to himself, Well, if the whole object is to stab

368
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: the other guy in the face before he can stab

369
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: you in the face, why don't we just make longer spears?

370
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: Do you remember I told you the Greek spear seven

371
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 1: to twelve feet. Philip looks and thinks, well, what if

372
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: we made him thirteen feet fifteen feet seventeen feet twenty

373
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: one feet long, into which people would say, well, wait

374
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: a minute, Well that's true. It's too heavy. He's gonna

375
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: have to have two hands to hold it. He's gonna

376
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: wear out. And Philip says, oh no, he'll be fine

377
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have armor either. What he has to

378
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: have armor? Philip said, why they're never gonna get within

379
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: twenty one feet of me? Why do I need armor?

380
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: Not only that picture of phalanx, of phalanx with the

381
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: spears coming out the front of it and the shields

382
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: all locked right, you can see it. Maybe you have

383
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: the front row their spears can reach the enemy, and

384
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: maybe maybe the second row their spears can reach the enemy. Okay,

385
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: so let's we're lined up fe lanxes or even I

386
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: have Let's see here, let's just do a rough number.

387
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: I have thirty thirty spears stabbing at my guys at

388
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: any one point in time. Philip has twenty one foot spears.

389
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: He has five rows deep. So I have thirty spears

390
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: coming at me. I'm sending ninety back the other direction.

391
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: What do I need armor for? You're the one with

392
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: things to worry about, Philip. Drop the body armor, drop

393
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: the huge heavy shield, and simply realized, what is with

394
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: all this tradition? What's with all this the way things

395
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: have always been? What really actually matters? If we have

396
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: to put if you'll pardon the spear pun here, if

397
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: we have to put to find a point on it,

398
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: ha ha ha, Chris did it. What really matters is

399
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: stabbing the other guy before he stabs me. These Athenians

400
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: begin to fall, and they begin to fall for another reason.

401
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: And I want to focus on just the historical aspect

402
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: of this for a moment, because it's something we all

403
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: mess up in our minds. I do it too. It's

404
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: easy to mess us up in our minds. You don't.

405
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: You don't see it in the movies, really, because it

406
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't be They wouldn't be sexy, it wouldn't be cinematic,

407
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be something you would enjoy. You don't even

408
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: oftentimes except for a vague reference to it here or

409
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: a vague reference to it there. You don't even read

410
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,239
Speaker 1: about it that much in books. But I want you

411
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: to focus for a moment on the concept of fatigue exhaustion.

412
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: You think about like a Greek army like we're talking

413
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: about today, and what do you picture playing on hogs

414
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: bund One in three adults has pre diabetes. One in three.

415
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: That means it could be you, your football buddy, your

416
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: fruitball buddy, or you your best man, your worst man.

417
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: You you're a dog walker, your cat jugger. While one

418
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 1: in three adult has pre diabetes, with early diagnosis, pre

419
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: diabetes can be reversed. Take the risk test at do

420
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: I have pre diabetes dot org? That's do I have

421
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: pre diabetes dot org? Wait did they just say one

422
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: in three adults has pre diabetes. That's thirty three point

423
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: three three percent of adults. That means it could be

424
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: me my boss or my boss's boss, or me my

425
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: favorite sister or my other sister. That's seven members of

426
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: my twenty one person romantic book club. Wait, the one

427
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: in three could be me my karaoke partner Carol, or

428
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: uh my karaoke enemy, Jeff. I'm going to take the

429
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: risk test that do I have pre diabetes dot org?

430
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,479
Speaker 1: Brought to you by the ad Council, and it's pre

431
00:33:39,600 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: Diabetes Awareness Partners, Jesse Kelly Vaccine. Chris, I'm so unreasonably

432
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: excited for this new Jersey audio. I almost interrupted the

433
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: history story to play it. No, I swear it's so good.

434
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 1: It's not so bad, Chris, it's so good. I don't

435
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: buck up, Buttercup. It's gonna be fine. You did. I

436
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you something, Chris, because we're gonna play

437
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: this thing in about ten minutes. How confident are you

438
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: on a scale of one to ten that you beeped

439
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: out everything that has to be beeped out? Okay, the

440
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: shoulder shrug is not inspiring confidence. All right, this is

441
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: a nationally syndicated show. Now, See things were Things were

442
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: so much easier when we were Remember this is true.

443
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: This is only like a year and a half ago.

444
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: We were on KPRC, the Great KPRC, where we still

445
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: are in Houston. They gave me my shot. I'll love

446
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: him forever. And because they didn't know if I could

447
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: do a radio show. I'd never done a radio show

448
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: ever ever, I'd never done one. I'd never sat down

449
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: behind a microphone and gave radio show. And Michael Barry

450
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: was talking with Eddie Martini who's just an awesome dude,

451
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: great friend of mine here, and he's the one who

452
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: decided to give me a shot. They give me a

453
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: seven o'clock at night show, though, for an hour, and

454
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: they think, even if he's awful, it's seven at night.

455
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: It's an hour. Even if it's a bad hour, maybe

456
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: it'll be fine. And we used to just do reckless

457
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: things on the show. One during one gosh, we can't

458
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: do this stuff anymore. We don't have a copyright. But

459
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: they did at the time. During one segment we played

460
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: it was a nine minute segment. We played Freebird. I

461
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: don't mean we played it in the background. I mean

462
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: the entire segment was Freebird, but the song start to finish.

463
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, we can't do that stuff anymore. Make sure

464
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: the words are peeped out all right. Back to fatigue.

465
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 1: We don't picture that. We don't picture things like hunger

466
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: and thirst and exhaustion when it comes to these ancient battles.

467
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: And in fact, we picture all these guys and all

468
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: these Greek hoplights there. What do you picture? You picture

469
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: the movie three hundred. Everyone has nine pack abs and

470
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: huge biceps and shoulders, and he can hold that spear

471
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: up for days and that shield. They looked just like you,

472
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,919
Speaker 1: and they looked just like me. In fact, they were

473
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: probably smaller historically because most people were smaller back then.

474
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: We're talking eighty ninety pounds of gear on. Let's be generous,

475
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: let's say one hundred and sixty hundred, seventy hundred and

476
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: eighty pound. Man. Forgetting about the actual weights, I want

477
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: you to think about your body weight for a moment. Sorry,

478
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: I know these coronavirus lockdowns haven't been kind on us.

479
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: Think about your body weight for a moment and think

480
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: about carrying half of that around, because it's really all

481
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,479
Speaker 1: about the ratios on it. One of the very few

482
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: I was the world's most average marine. But one of

483
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: the very few advantages I did have was I was

484
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: so long and I weighed enough. I was so long,

485
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: so when you're out on these grueling humps my legs,

486
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: you're taking two steps for every one of mine. And

487
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: I have big shoulders, and I was two hundred pounds

488
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: two hundred plus pounds. A lot of marines are five seven, five, eight,

489
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: one sixty one seventy maybe a lot of them are

490
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: smaller than that. Therefore I throw on eighty pounds and

491
00:37:55,080 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: you throw on eighty pounds. Those are different things. But

492
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,959
Speaker 1: we picture the ancient guys fighting there all day. It's brave, hard,

493
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: and swords and axes and things like that. Don't pick

494
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: up a baseball bat right now, not even an axe.

495
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: Don't pick up a baseball bat. Go out back in

496
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: your yard. Go swing that bat twenty times in a row,

497
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: just a baseball, but just a light, little aluminum baseball bat.

498
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: Twenty times in a row. You will be breathing hard.

499
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: That's a baseball bat. That's virtually no weight at all.

500
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: There's no armor on you holding you down. There's no

501
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: shield you're holding up with your other arm. How long

502
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: can you hold a curl of something? Now? How long

503
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: can you pick a hole? Go pick up a waiter

504
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: if you have it, maybe just a gallon of milk,

505
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: and hold your arm in the curl position. Hold that

506
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 1: gallon of milk to your chest with one arm. How

507
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: long can you do it? I'm that serious. Do it

508
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: time yourself. Now, make that a thirty forty pound bronze shield.

509
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 1: These guys were not all the incredible hulk. They were

510
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 1: just like you and I, and exhaustion killed many many

511
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 1: many men in the ancient world. You can't do that

512
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 1: for very long. You can't stab and hold up a shield.

513
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: And I'm not even taking into account what would probably

514
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: be the biggest factor adreadaline. Ever been in a fight,

515
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: Ever had to give a big speech at work or

516
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: at school, that adrenaline feeling in the pit of your

517
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: stomach had some kind of big competition. Ever had anything

518
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: happen to you that got your adrenaline pumping? What happens

519
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: when you run out of it? Exhaustion? Extreme exhaustion because

520
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: your body just amped up to the max and you

521
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: expended all the energy you had. When the adrenaline's gone,

522
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: you are done, absolutely done. You stappen to me when

523
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 1: I would do the show, I'd get home and I'd

524
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: just go sleep. I wake up and text, Text and eat,

525
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: Text and catch the bus, Text and miss your stop.

526
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait, Text and be late to work sorry,

527
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: Text and work, Text and pretend to work, Text and

528
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: a surprised when someone calls you out for not working.

529
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: Text and meet up with a friend you haven't seen

530
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: in forever. Oh, Text and complain that they're on their

531
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: phone the whole time. Text and listen to them complain

532
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 1: that you're on your phone the whole time, text and whatever.

533
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 1: But when you get behind the wheel, give your phone

534
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: to a passenger, put it in the glove box. Just

535
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: don't text and drive. Visit stop texts, Stop rex dot org.

536
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: A public service announcement brought to you by the National

537
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the AD Council. Remember I

538
00:41:54,880 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: said Athens had moved moved down off the hill. They

539
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: moved down off the hill and movement is exhausting. By

540
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: the time they moved down to try to catch up

541
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 1: to Philip and his feigned retreat, Philip turns around starts

542
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: stabbing them in the face again. Athens can't keep the

543
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: shields up. They're exhausted, and well, the deadliest thing happened.

544
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: A humongous gap was created in the line. You see

545
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 1: if phae leanx can't allow gaps, because it can't allow

546
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: people in between it, the people get in between it,

547
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: that shield spear wall becomes exposed. You get the soft

548
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: underbelly of it, which are the sides of it, which

549
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: are the back of it. Oh, huge gap creates in

550
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: the line. Because they're tired, they can't all move. I

551
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: mean they should be okay, right. It's not like there's

552
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: some superhuman beast of a war god commanding the other

553
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: side's cavalry. Except this time there was hang on the

554
00:43:32,760 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show. This is the Jesse Kelly Show. There

555
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: is a gap in the line. And now we have

556
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: to briefly, as I finished this thing up today before

557
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: we get to Michael Malice, before we get to waffle House,

558
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: the nuclear news cycle, the greatest audio maybe ever on

559
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: the show. Allow me to finish this up by saying,

560
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: on the Greek side, even though the Macedonians were technically Greek,

561
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: but on the Greek side they did have something I've

562
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: spoken about before called the Sacred Band. They were a

563
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:38,479
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty couples, but not men, women couples. I'm

564
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: talking dude undude couples. It's famous. It's called the Sacred Band.

565
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: They did this intentionally. You could only serve from the

566
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: age of twenty five to thirty. They wanted you at

567
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: your physical strong strongest. They found men of this persuasion

568
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 1: and talk them into this because they believed they would

569
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: be loyal to each other to the death. And they

570
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: also believed that you would not want to embarrass yourself

571
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: in front of your you know, significant other, and they

572
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: did have. They were famously really really good in combat

573
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: to I mean, not to put too fine a point

574
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: on it. They were just really good. The gap that

575
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: opens up in the line, though, Alexander the Great in

576
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: command of the Companion cavalry, charges through the gap, as

577
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: he seemed to do every other battle the rest of

578
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: his career. He would wait for an opportunity and then

579
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: blow through it and stomp them. He blows through the gap.

580
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: Eventually they get to the Sacred Band, the Sacred Band,

581
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: with all the other Greeks turning, running and dying. The

582
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: Sacred Band, to their credit, every one of them stayed

583
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: and fought and died that day at the hands of

584
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: the Macedonians. And here's something really cool. As I get ready,

585
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: as I wrapped this thing up here, Philip did unify

586
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: Greece after and all that, all that was done, Philip,

587
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, set the stage for Alexander. But you know

588
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: what's cool to this day, at that location of that battle,

589
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: to this day, there is a gigantic lion statue dedicated

590
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: to the Sacred Band with no inscription. There's no inscription

591
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: on it. I always thought that part was so cool.

592
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: There's no inscription on it. They just in honor of

593
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 1: their sacrifice that day, built them a statue and just

594
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: let it sit. Either you know the story or don't

595
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: know the story, but there it is, and now you

596
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: know the story. This battle, if you'd like to look

597
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: it up, is called the Battle of Karonia or Cheronia,

598
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: the Battle of Karenia. It is funny. You focus on

599
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: all the things that matter, that you think matter, You

600
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: focus on what's been traditionally done, on what the other

601
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: people know. All that really matters is getting them before

602
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: they get you. In this philosophy, when we talk about elections,

603
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend long on this election thing

604
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: today because I have a bunch of other stuff I

605
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: want to get to. I mean, Stalin said it. Stalin

606
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: was so great for quotes. Not so great for the

607
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: fifty million people he slaughtered, but so great for quotes

608
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: because Stalin Stalin was a guy who didn't care what

609
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: you thought of him. Stalin had these great quotes because

610
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: he was just willing to flat out say what all

611
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: the commies are always really thinking. Stalin would just tell

612
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: you it doesn't matter who votes, that matters who counts

613
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 1: the votes. What angers me is this, I'm not mad

614
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: about Democrats and fraud or potentially massive fraud, which we

615
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 1: don't know yet. We're still sifting through all that, and

616
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to all that in a second. As

617
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: far as this Sydney Powell stuff, Trump's legal team stuff,

618
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: give me a second. What angers me is how can

619
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: Republicans not see that coming? Democrats cheating on elections is

620
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:51,879
Speaker 1: the history of the United States of America. Remember Tammany Hall.

621
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: They've been doing this for hundreds of years. How do

622
00:48:56,239 --> 00:49:01,439
Speaker 1: you look at this now and think? Whoa man? You mean?

623
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: They took all the mail in ballots and they cheated.

624
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:11,479
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, if I had known, I would

625
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 1: have done How could you not know that's what they do?

626
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: What do you think Democrats were doing when they had

627
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: a special hearing on the post Office? What do you

628
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: think Democrats were doing when they tried to sneak federal

629
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: all mail in voting in the coronavirus stimulus bill? Did

630
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: you actually think they were doing that for coronavirus? Are

631
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: you that dumb? And if you are that dumb, let

632
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: me ask you something. As a registered Republican, why am

633
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: I still a Republican. If that's the leadership I have,

634
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: If everybody is still that freaking stupid, then why am

635
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 1: I still here. I will not be led by morons.

636
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: I will not. I'll go start my own anti communist part.

637
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: And don't think I'm kidding. I will. In fact, you

638
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: know what, Chris, we're coming out with a bunch of

639
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: anti communists gear. I just thought of this because my

640
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: blood pressures through the roof this morning, and I'm mad.

641
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding. We're gonna start selling merch. We

642
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: haven't sold merch yet, We're gonna start selling anti communist merch.

643
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: I've had enough of being led by idiots, man, And

644
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm look, what are we left to do now? What

645
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: are you and I left to do? Now? Whine about it?

646
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: That's pretty much all we can do. Why I can't

647
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: believe I'm stolen here or stolen that? Yeah it was.

648
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: And guess what, they're not going to overturn it. I

649
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,919
Speaker 1: bet you they're not. Stop telling yourself lies. I would

650
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: tell you if I thought they were. I don't think

651
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,439
Speaker 1: they are. So that we're left to question it, Well,

652
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 1: that does us a heck of a lot of good.

653
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:54,720
Speaker 1: Why do you not see that coming? They're the only

654
00:50:54,840 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: side that thought to lengthen out the spears. Seriously, it

655
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: never occurred to us that there may be something more important. Look, look,

656
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 1: I know we want to be the party of jobs.

657
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 1: Obviously you want to be there without one or nothing.

658
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm not putting down jobs. What good does it be?

659
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: What good does it do you to be the party

660
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: of jobs when you're not counting the votes? It does

661
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: you no good at all. And let's address the election

662
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: fraud stuff briefly here. I'm not spending forever. I'm not

663
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: spending forever on this. A bunch of stuff I want

664
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: to get to. Sydney Pal has been all over the

665
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: news recently. I'm not playing any audio of it. Sydney Pal.

666
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: She is the one making the most extreme claims out there.

667
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: She's saying this election system, the computer system, has changed

668
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: millions of votes, that Trump did win by a landslide.

669
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: So on and so forth. You've seen a hundred percent

670
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: of the left and ninety percent of the right say

671
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: these are outlandish claims. They're not true. No way there,

672
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. Hear me out and hear

673
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: me good. I have no idea if they're true or not.

674
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: I have no idea if Sydney Powe has turned into

675
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: some huge nut job conspiracy theorist, or if Sydney Powe

676
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: really does have things other people don't have. I do

677
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: know two things. One, my friends who are my friends

678
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: do not get tossed in the gutter when everybody tells

679
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: me I should toss them in the gutter. And I

680
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: know Sidney Pale, so that's one. Two. Maybe she has

681
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 1: gone off the deep end. I don't know. I haven't

682
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 1: talked to her recently. I do know this, in my

683
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: time knowing Sidney Pow, that is one of, if not

684
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: the most intelligent human beings I've ever spoken to in

685
00:52:55,120 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: my entire life. That's all I have to say about that.
