1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Have we met before? Oh yes, General the epic fiction

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: podcast Tuman Bay returns What have you done? Listen now

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: on the I Heart Radio app or wherever you get

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: your podcast. Here's what you missed on buck Sexton with

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: America Now. So I used to do when I I

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: did the Buck Sexton Show over at the Blaze, which

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: is when I started my career in radio. I don't know,

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: for years, five years ago, something like that. Now, um,

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: I would do deep dives in various either historical events

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: or even just periods in history that I found of interest.

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: So we'd spend half an hour, maybe an hour on

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: a subject of history. And I talked once about uh

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: PHELANX warfare in ancient Greece and the well the hop

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: lawn which was the large shield. Those who have seen

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: three hundred have some familiarity with what I'm talking about,

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: although three is really there's a lot that's usually uh

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: not historically accurate or the visuals in particular, they're missing

18
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: all the armor that pretty much except for the grieves

19
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: um and shin guard and well what goes over the

20
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: shin um. But they they carry a hop lawn which

21
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: is a large shield, and the spartans who are obviously

22
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: well known for combat would say come back with your

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: shield or on it. And I was talking to the

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: audience then I was talking to Team buck then about it,

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: and I said, well, all of you, it feels like,

26
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: especially being here in New York City and going up

27
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: against liberals and the media and and fighting for ideas

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: that we all believe in. It feels like this is

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: my phae lenx and so here we are, uh, shoulder

30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: to shoulder. Shields high a reference to the phalanx warfare

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: and the the hop lawn, which is the shield that

32
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: would be carried by hop lights. That's where the term

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: comes from. So the hop light is the soldier in

34
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: the phalanx and heavily armored infantrymen from the period of

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: of the High period of ancient Greece. Uh, and that

36
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: was the they were the centerpiece of that form of warfare.

37
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, so that's that's where shields high comes from.

38
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: That's some kind of code word from the CIA. No,

39
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean, no, no, nothing, nothing, nothing as cool as that.

40
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: It's just ancient Greece. And what makes me get up

41
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: every day and research and do all the work that

42
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: I do for the show are the people who listen

43
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: to the show, So it really does feel like they are.

44
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: It's also why I call them Team Buck. And it's

45
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,839
