We will get there in a second. 25 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a bright and sunny day rest. We 26 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: have Bernie Sanders, He's not comfortable with censorship all of 27 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: a sudden. We'll talk about that.

All 31 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: that coming up today on the World Famous Jesse Kelly Show. 32 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: Chris world Famous eight seven seven three seven seven four 33 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: three seven three Jesse at Jesse Kelly show dot com. 34 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: We've got emails. I finally started getting some Rachel Maddow support. 35 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: We'll get to all that in a little while, but first, 36 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: and I do mean first, let's go back and talk about, well, 37 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: the worst place to be in the history of mankind 38 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: as far as battles go. Possibly, maybe do you know 39 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: of any other battles where men buried their heads in 40 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: the ground? On purpose to suffocate themselves to death rather 41 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: than go on, yeah, I don't either. Let's talk about 42 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: a place called Kenny or can I or Canny, or 43 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: it's ancient Rome. All right, We're going to ancient Rome 44 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: today and we're going to deal with the greatest tactical 45 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: commander in the history of mankind, in my opinion. Tactical 46 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: meaning you're on the battlefield, not not gigantic strategic, but 47 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: that battle that day. You have an army, they have 48 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: an army. You have to pick one guy to win. 49 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: You can pick yours, there's plenty of I mean, it's 50 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: hard to go wrong. I choose the man they still 51 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: study in war colleges to this day, man by the 52 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: name of Hannibal Barka. Now, hindsight being what it is, 53 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: you and I look at things differently because we know 54 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: what Rome would eventually become. But what Rome is in 55 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: the year two sixteen BC is a rising star, not 56 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: the star, and certainly not the superstar. There is Rome. 57 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: You know where Italy is, and then there is an 58 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: equally if not more powerful nation right across the Mediterranean 59 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: in northern Africa called Carthage. Roman Carthage had already fought 60 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: a war once. These are known as the Punic Wars. 61 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: They ended up fighting three of them. Rome beat Carthage, 62 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: but it was touch and go there for quite a while. 63 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: And in Carthage they had kind of a different system. 64 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: Carthage because they were a seafaring people, trading people, huge, 65 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: huge ship people, because that's obviously how trade was done 66 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: back then. But not a lot of men, not a 67 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: ton of young men to choose from. So Carthage had 68 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: a huge bank account, not a lot of young men. 69 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: How are you going to fight wars? Well, Carthage's army 70 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: was almost always pretty much exclusively a mercenary army, which 71 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: sounds cooler than it is. I mean, when we even 72 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: talk about the people Hannibal had under him today, it'll 73 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: sound cool. You have these cavalry from here and these 74 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: guys from here, and it all sounds very exotic and sexy. Yeah, 75 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: And when you're in a military you really want it 76 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: to be pretty uniform. Everybody has the same arm or 77 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: the same so or the same shield, the same everything. 78 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: It makes it makes doing tactics easier when you know 79 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: the capabilities of everybody to a t But Carthage has 80 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: a Mercenary Army, and there's a man by the name 81 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: of hammil Car. Yes, I know it sounds just like Hannibal. 82 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: Don't worry about remembering it. It was Hannibal's dad, and 83 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: Hannibal's dad had suns. And the other reason I even 84 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: bring up his dad is because I still think to 85 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: this day it's really cool all of his sons turn 86 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: out to be these Roman hating generals. There were all 87 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: studs and they were known as the Lions Brood because 88 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: his dad was a general too. How cool is that? 89 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: At one point, hamil Car, when Hannibal is a young boy, 90 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: holds Hannibal over a fire and makes him stare into 91 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: it and swear on his life that he'll never be 92 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: a friend to Rome. That's how Hannibal was raised, and 93 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: Hannibal was raised. In case you're wondering how to build 94 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: a military genius in a lab doesn't hurt Having a 95 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: dad like that doesn't hurt. Having your dad take you along, always, 96 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: always on campaign. Hannibal grew up in military camps, surrounded 97 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: by military training. His entire life was killing man, feeding man, 98 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: moving men back and forth, just everything that goes into 99 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: being a general. Now the situation on the ground. Hannibal's 100 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: dad is dead. Carthage had lost the first Punic War. Hannibal, 101 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,119 Speaker 1: he gets an idea. Carthage gets an idea as a whole, 102 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: Why don't we take the fight to Rome in Rome? 103 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: We don't want to fight Rome on the seas, We 104 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: don't want to try to fight Rome in our homeland. 105 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: Why don't we go to Italy and try to mess 106 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: things up there? Now? What were they trying to mess 107 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: up in Italy? It's not as if they had a 108 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: plan to take the city of Rome itself. But Rome 109 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: wasn't quite Rome yet, as I just tried to lay 110 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: out at the beginning of the show, you know, you 111 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: can picture that whole the Italian boot right. Well, Rome 112 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: is not This is not the year zero, is the 113 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixteen years before christ. Rome doesn't have 114 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: total one hundred percent control of all of Italy. Yet 115 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: they have. They are the big cheese in it. If 116 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: you're in it, you're either part of Rome or you're 117 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: really considered an ally of Rome. But those allies aren't 118 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: all good buddies. Almost all those allies were people who 119 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: had fought with Rome lost then now, okay, all right, 120 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: we'll be friends kind of a thing. Hannibal's plan is this, 121 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 1: I'm going to do what is considered to be impossible. 122 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to march through the Alps. I'm going to 123 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: invade Italy. Because he was taking his army from Spain. 124 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: He said, I'm going to invade Italy from the north, 125 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: cross the Alps, and mess up Rome so badly. Go 126 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: tear through the Italian countryside so badly. Then I will 127 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: win Rome's allies over to my side and essentially essentially 128 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: caused a gigantic Italian revolt. Have everybody joined your team, 129 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: and then you purge Rome. That was the plan, and 130 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: it was a good plan. It was a very good plan. 131 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: And by the time we get to our story, just 132 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: know that Hannibal has already crossed the Alps. Hannibal has 133 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: virtually decimated multiple Roman armies by this point. They met 134 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: him right when he crossed the Alps. He slaughtered them. 135 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: They sent another army up to get him. He put 136 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: one of the greatest ambushes, if not the greatest ambush 137 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: of all time. He slaughtered all them too, which brings 138 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: us to our story. The year is to sixteen. Hannibal, 139 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: he's in a situation on Italy. Yes, he's been wiping 140 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: out Roman armies, but Rome comes has come up. By 141 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: this point, they've come up with a new plan, and 142 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: the plan was this, Well, here's Hannibal. He has fifty 143 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: thousand men with him. We have sent two massive armies 144 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: to defeat him, and he's wiped them all out. Clearly, 145 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: this is not a man we want to take on 146 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: head to head. Here's what we'll do. We will essentially 147 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: avoid any major engagement with his army, but we will 148 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: try to starve him to death. We will set up 149 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: ambush's for the massive foraging parties Hannibal would send out 150 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: trying to get food for his men. Takes a lot 151 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: of food to feed fifty thousand men three times a day. 152 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: We'll ambush's foraging parties, will just avoid him, will burn 153 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: our own crops. We do what we have to do. Well, 154 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: there's a time limit on that, and that time was 155 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: coming real soon. We'll talk about that. And Bernie Sanders 156 00:10:51,640 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: with some buyers remorse, Oh, super beats, heart choose are 157 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: a conscious decision by me. I do a lot of 158 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: things that are probably not the best for my health. 159 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: I admit that, but I have to be. I have 160 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: to be proactive and that it's not for me. I'll 161 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: be honest with you. And I was worse about this 162 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: when I was younger, But now I have sons. I 163 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: have two sons. I want to see them have a family. 164 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: I want to see my grandkids one day.

Eight seven seven 180 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: three seven seven four three seven three Jesse at Jesse 181 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: Kelly Show dot com. We have Cam Edwards coming up 182 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: next hour, the resident gun expert around here on the laws. 183 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: On what's happening. I want to know. I'm really curious 184 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: because you know, my theory. My theory was, I think 185 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: the House is going to pass a gun control bill, 186 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: a really, really bad one, and I think the Senate, 187 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: I think there's a chance they in the filibuster to 188 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: pass it too, some big old gun control All people 189 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: were gonna lose their deck on minds. Yeah, that's gonna 190 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: suck all right, back to room real quick. The Roman 191 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: strategy of avoiding Hannibal trying to ruin his food supplies, 192 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: it was somewhat effective. It was affecting Hannibal, but Hannibal 193 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: was also a logistical genius. He was still pulling it off, 194 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: and he's pillaging the countryside too. And the problem with 195 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: a plan like that, with a long term plan like that, 196 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: is the people are going to want act sooner rather 197 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: than later. It's very very hard to sell people anybody 198 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: on long term thinking. YEA, Honestly, it was the smartest strategy. 199 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 1: Hannibal wasn't strong enough to come take on the city 200 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: of Rome itself. No army in the world could have 201 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: and Rome wasn't strong enough to beat Hannibal in the field, 202 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: as he'd proven twice. Just stay away from him, let 203 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: him just languish out there, and eventually he'll have to leave. 204 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: But we people are a funny thing. A disease like 205 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: coronavirus gets to your shores, and what do you hear 206 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: the public say. Did you hear the public say, calm down, 207 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: let's do some research and figure out the best way 208 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: to attack this thing. And then you know, let's not 209 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: overdo any Let's make sure we're being smart. Is that 210 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: what the public did? No, somebody do something. We're all 211 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: gonna and that's how you get what we had. Now. Well, 212 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: the public was doing that in Rome too. Somebody do something. 213 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: He's on Italian soil, was just marching all over our country. 214 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: Somebody do something. Rome. The leadership was feeling the pressure. 215 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: So Rome gathers eighty thousand men, the largest Roman army 216 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: ever put in the field. I think at that time. 217 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: I believe they had bigger ones later on. Eighty thousand men. 218 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: And something really cool about Rome. I always loved it, well, 219 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: I loved it about much of the ancient world. You know, 220 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: one third of the Senate had armor on and was 221 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: fighting in this army. And the ones who didn't, who 222 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: had sons who have age, sent their sons. Both of 223 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: the consuls, those are the presidents. Rome had two presidents. 224 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: They were known as consuls. Both of the consuls in 225 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: this army. There leaders of their society were expected to 226 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: lead with a sword and shield in hand. There was 227 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: none of this. You go here and you go there 228 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: if you if you need me, I'll be having a 229 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: steak dinner with the executives at raycon No. No, no, no 230 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: no no, they're right out there in the mud and 231 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: the blood with you, which I always thought was really cool. 232 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: So Rome fifty thousand men, a Rome eighty thousand men. 233 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: Hannibal fifty thousand men. Hannibals outnumbered significantly. Here's what he does. 234 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: He makes his way to southeast Italy. Southeast Italy, Southern Italy, 235 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: in case you don't know, is hot, and the summertime, 236 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: it is hot, hot, and the Roman army is marching 237 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: toward Hannibal. Hannibal is he's just very good at choosing 238 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: his battlefield, and he gets to wear he thinks, he 239 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: thinks he has a chance to take them on. And 240 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: what's what's the battlefield look like. It's hot, it's flat, 241 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: it's dusty. There's a river on one side and a 242 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: mountain on the other, so it's fairly bottled in. There's 243 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: not really any place to go. It's going to be 244 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: a kind of straightforward affair. Why does Hannibal want it flat? 245 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: Hannibal's cavalry is out standing, and I'm going to nerd 246 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: out on a couple of military details today simply because 247 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,479 Speaker 1: they actually matter for the battle Rome, even though they 248 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: lost to Hannibal twice, Rome was still fielding the best 249 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: individual unit in the world and did for centuries. Really, 250 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: the Roman legionnaire, the Roman, the Roman you picture, helmet, shield, armor, spear, 251 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: they were just the best fighting for in the world. 252 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: Very few could take them on and win. And even 253 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: in their huge losses to Hannibal, the actual legionnaires did very, 254 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: very well and held off as long as can be 255 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: expected before they were eventually routed and slaughtered. But Roman 256 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: cavalry sucked. It famously sucked. It always sucked. It's really weird. 257 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: They never ever figured it out. They thought it was 258 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: kind of feminine. They didn't prioritize it so they would 259 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: find I know, Chris, so they would find other people 260 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: and basically just tell them, are you're gonna be our cavalry. 261 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: The Julius Caesar used German cavalry all the time. They 262 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: just they were always using someone else's. Hannibals, though, is really, really, 263 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: really good. He has his own and he has some 264 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: cavalry from Numidia. You don't need to worry about where 265 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: Numidia is. None of that matters. But just know this, 266 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: the Numidian guys were some of the best horsemen in 267 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: the history of the world. They didn't even use bridles 268 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: on their horses. They just steered controlled the horse with 269 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 1: their knees. They had virtually no armor on and they 270 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 1: had very light javelins, and they would just ride at 271 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: you and stick you, and then ride away, and ride 272 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 1: back and stick you and ride away. They were just 273 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,479 Speaker 1: a nightmare to deal with, super fast because there's no 274 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: armor on anybody it was. They were supposedly a sight 275 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: to be seen. Hannibal had those. Hannibal had these outstanding 276 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: Iberian infantry. You need to think of him as Spanish, 277 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: that was in Spain. He had these outstanding Iberian infantry. 278 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 1: He had these slingers, and yes, it's exactly what you'd think. Yes, 279 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: men who throw balls with slings or rocks with slings, 280 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: And before you dismiss it as a child's toy, know 281 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: that they could kill a man with these things from 282 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: a football field or greater away. Not making that up. 283 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: He just had these cool looking army. But they're all 284 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: different and from different places. And Hannibal had a lot 285 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: of galls. And this is going to be an important 286 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: part of our story, an important part of why Rome 287 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: got itself in a pickle. Let's pause there for a 288 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: moment and talk about you and talk about me. We 289 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: have blind spots in our lives, all of us. Do. 290 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: You do, I do? Everybody does. And those blind spots 291 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: in general are created by love or they're created by hate, 292 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: and they both create blind spots. I love my kids 293 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: like you love your kids. My kids get caught with 294 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: the neighbor kids, smoking pot neighbor kids. A bad kid. 295 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: Always knew he was a scumbag. My kid. Oh, he 296 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: made one mistake. I'm sure it was his first time. 297 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: He clearly didn't buy it and it definitely wasn't his idea, right, 298 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: Wink wink. Blinders. Hate gives you blinders too. When you 299 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: hate somebody or something or something. Hate gives you serious 300 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: blinders and you can't you can't think properly. It's why 301 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: you need to try to avoid it at all costs. 302 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: Rome Romans they hated Gauls and it was going to 303 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: cost them dearly on this day. We will get to that, 304 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: and our extremely ungrateful nation hang them. I hate bad smells? 305 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: Is that weird? Does it make me weird? I hate 306 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: even saying that? But would you walk in a room 307 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: and it stinks, it's terrible? And I'll be I'll be 308 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: totally honest with you here. My boys are now ten 309 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: and twelve. I walked in their room a couple of 310 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: weeks ago and it just smelled it. It just had 311 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: an odor like boys, and we knew, we knew we 312 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: had to do something. Well, guess what we have in 313 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: there now. Granted they stole mine from me, but guess 314 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: what we have in there now? The Eden Pure Thunderstorm. 315 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't cover up those odors, it doesn't. It takes 316 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: them away. It kills and prevents the spreading of mold 317 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: and fungus and mildew.

You know. I'm not gonna get into 332 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: it right now. I'm not gonna get into it right now. 333 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to get into that in a little while. 334 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: How utterly emasculated and embarrassing the men in the society 335 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: have become. It makes me one of vomit. All right, 336 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: the battle. I'm going to give you more details on 337 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: the battle between Hannibal and Rome than I normally do, 338 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: simply because this exact battle here is not some obscure affair. 339 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: To this day West Point, you name the major military academy, 340 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: they study this exact battle as perfection. You remember how 341 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: how Rome hated the Galls. There's a long history there. 342 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going into it, and there would be a 343 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: long future there when Julius Caesar came along and kind 344 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: of took care of that problem. But there's a long 345 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 1: future there. They hated each other. The Galls were famously 346 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: wild looking wild. They would go into battle, oftentimes completely naked, which, 347 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: as a dude, just wow, are you taking some serious chances? Pal? 348 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: But never mind, they're going into battle with a sword. 349 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: Crazy just nutballs. However, crazy is so overrated. Crazy sounds 350 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: great in movies. Am So that's a proving at the mouth. Okay, 351 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: well you're naked and I have armor in a spear, 352 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: You're gonna die. Crazy is way overrated, disciplined, way underrated. 353 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 1: Roman army shields, locked armor on. I don't care how 354 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: crazy you are. If you come running at that like 355 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: a nutball, you're going to die. There was a long 356 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: history of Roman legionnaires crushing the Galls in head on combat, 357 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: a long history of it. Hannibal knew this. Hannibal knew 358 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: the hatred Rome had for the Galls, and so I'm 359 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: going to do something I've never done on this show 360 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: and give you the layout of the battle as best 361 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: I can. Here's what you need to know Rome. Just 362 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: picture each of them, have a line of troops. Rome 363 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: had its crappy cavalry on both sides. A little crappy 364 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: cavalry over here, little crappy cavalry over there. Just know 365 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: they're on the flanks, they're on the wings, and they 366 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: had all their legionnaires in the middle. And I'm skipping 367 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: over a couple of things that I'm really trying not 368 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: to crush you with these nerd out details, but it's 369 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: going to matter a lot for how this thing turns out. 370 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: Otherwise I wouldn't do it. Hannibal, he did something different. 371 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: He had his best troops, the Iberian troops. He had 372 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: them hidden behind his line, and he had a bunch 373 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 1: of people go out in front of his line and 374 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: stomp around all day to create a huge dust cloud 375 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: so Rome couldn't see that his best troops were hidden 376 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: behind the line. That's one. Two. He had his amazing 377 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: cavalry union on his left we'll get to that in 378 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: a second. Don't wordry about exactly where that is. And three, 379 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: Hannibal took all those galls, the bare chested galls, the 380 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: galls the Romans hated, and he had them in the 381 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: worst place humanly possible, the middle, the middles where you 382 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: want your strongest troops. That's where Roman had their legionnaires. 383 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: That's why would you put your And not only did 384 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: he put his galls in the middle instead of having 385 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: them be in a straight line, he kind of put 386 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 1: him out there as a bulge a little bit towards 387 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: the Romans, kind of a convex structure towards the Romans. 388 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: What's he doing? Well, here's what he's doing. The battle begins. 389 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: The armies start to close together. Gosh, I would have 390 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: killed to see an ancient, ancient war like this, ancient 391 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: battle like this. The armies start to close together. Hannibals 392 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: outstanding cavalry just takes off towards the Roman cavalry. They're 393 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: not waiting for the infantry to get together or whatnot. 394 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: And Hannibals outstanding cavalry gets to the Roman cavalry and 395 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: proceeds to start absolutely carving them up like a Thanksgiving Turkey. 396 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: It doesn't take very long, and the Roman cavalry, for 397 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: the most part, at least on one wing, is gone. 398 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 1: They are routed, they are slaughtered, they turn around, and 399 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: they leave the battlefield. Now I want you to remember 400 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: all that excellent Carthaginian cavalry is now behind both armies 401 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: on the Roman side. But they're pretty far behind, and 402 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: they're tired. You forget about this. You don't see this 403 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: in the movies. Horses are just animals, eating, sleeping, breathing animals. 404 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: They get exhausted to they need rest, so just set 405 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: them aside for a moment. But remember they're back there 406 00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: behind the Roman lines. The Romans slam into the Galls 407 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: and they begin to win right away. Unsurprisingly, Hannibal has 408 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: placed himself personally with the Galls because Hannibal has a plan, 409 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: and this is all part of it. The Galls are losing. 410 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: The Galls are marching backwards, but in good order because 411 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: Hannibal's right there. Don't turn and run, don't turn and run. 412 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: Just it's okay. You're losing. We knew we were going 413 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: to lose a little. It's okay, fight, fight, fight the 414 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: Romans and this happens that hatred, that blind spot we 415 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: talked about. They're getting excited. This happens to men, especially 416 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: in combat, what they call it getting your blood up. 417 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: They're starting to really enjoy carving up these galls, and 418 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: so that middle that was convex before, it's been pushed 419 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: back so far, it's now starting to get a little concave, 420 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: and the Romans aren't really realizing what's happening there. You 421 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: how many times in the movies have you seen have 422 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: you heard somebody, oh, hold the line. There's a reason 423 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: they did. We used to sell at that at each other. 424 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: You don't want anybody ahead of someone else. You want 425 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: to be in line. Rome can't make itself stay in line. 426 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: As they're chewing up gulls and chewing up gulls and 427 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: chewing up gulls, and the gulls are pushing back and 428 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: back and back. Remember those Iberian troops, the elite infantry, 429 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: Hannibal had them hidden on each side. They wait until 430 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: the last possible moment when the Romans have pushed. They've 431 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: amassed all their troops in the middle, and they've pushed 432 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: the gulls clear back in the elite Iberian infantry then 433 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: swoops in from the sides, and now Rome is hemmed 434 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: in on three sides their entire army. Now remember that 435 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: cavalry unit that was way behind the Roman lines. This 436 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: is the time where they choose to charge in from 437 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: the back. And now you have a Roman army that 438 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: was just winning about thirty five seconds beforehand. And now 439 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: you're not only not winning, you're surrounded on all four sides, 440 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: fifty thousand men with nowhere to go, and it's hot 441 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: and it's dusty, and nobody if you're in the middle, 442 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,239 Speaker 1: if you're in the middle of that when you were 443 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: a Roman, nobody's bringing you around a jug of water 444 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: to refresh yourself. Here's here's some beef jerky I got 445 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: from last night. You've already been fighting in the south, 446 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: in the Southern Italy Roman heat all day long. You're 447 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: already exhausted. You were just winning. Yes, let's kill some 448 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: goth This is so fun. And now you're surrounded and 449 00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: now they start cutting and cutting and cutting, and it's 450 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: an all day affair. They estimate, and all they can 451 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: do is estimate, as they've studied this battle over and 452 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: over and over again, because it's one of the few 453 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: times in history anybody has managed to completely encircle an 454 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: army when he's outnumbered. They estimate two hundred men were 455 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: dying a minute, two hundred a minute. I'm not quite 456 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: done yet. We'll wrap this up. We got a lot 457 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: to talk about with Biden in an ungrateful nation. Hang on, 458 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: is he smarter than everyone who knows? Does he think so?

I have smoked before. 467 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: If you name it, I've done it worse than you have. 468 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: But you got to clean that up.

They can be It's totally fine, but it 497 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: can be anything, absolutely anything, animal fights, survival scenarios, guns, history, food, men, women, 498 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,399 Speaker 1: whatever your thing is, send it in. We have fun 499 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: on Friday all day. If you're looking for very serious 500 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: radio Friday's ask doctor Jesse's show is not the one 501 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: for you. Now, let's finish up the Battle of Knee. 502 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: Two hundred men amment a minute or dying as the 503 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:10,959 Speaker 1: Roman armies completely surrounded and they had men I didn't 504 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: make that up. In the beginning. They had Romans who 505 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: were so mentally broken, physically exhausted, they would strip off 506 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 1: their armor and ask their own men to cut their throats. 507 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: And if their own men wouldn't, they'd run up to 508 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: the Carthaginians and say, please just finish it. Please. I 509 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: can't take I can't take the terror anymore. The feeling 510 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: of inevitability as the entire army is getting cut down 511 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: had to be. It just it broke the human mind. 512 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: And these are seasoned veterans. They actually found guys on 513 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: the battlefield who had simply dropped to their knees, carved 514 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 1: out a hole in the ground, stuck their head in it, 515 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 1: and pushed the dirt back on themselves and suffocated themselves 516 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: to death rather than wait all day long to be 517 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: cut down as the armies circle them in. That's a 518 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: level of fear that I've never heard of that before. 519 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: I've never heard of it before. You and I have 520 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: to be really really careful about something. We have to 521 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:30,400 Speaker 1: be really careful about our blindness. Blindness, blind spots. Blind 522 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: spots can turn you into a terrible human being. Blind 523 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,800 Speaker 1: spots can get you killed. They can get you killed. 524 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: And there's something forget about left right, whatever the case 525 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: may be. There's something out there right now that I 526 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,919 Speaker 1: have to address. And this is the part it's gonna 527 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 1: get me upset. But I saw that women's soccer player 528 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: Megan Rapino was at the White House yesterday at the 529 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,760 Speaker 1: White House talking with the President of the United States. 530 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,400 Speaker 1: It was equal pay Day or something like that, and 531 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: she had this to say. A member of the LGBTQ 532 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: community with pink hair and where I come from, I 533 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: could have only dreamed that I would be standing in 534 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: the position I am today at the White House. I'm 535 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: also a professional athlete, and I've helped, along with all 536 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 1: of my teammates virtually here today, one teammate literally here today, 537 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,760 Speaker 1: win four World Cup championships and four Olympic gold medals 538 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: for the United States. And despite those wins, I've been devalued. 539 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: I've been disrespected and dismissed because I am a woman, 540 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 1: the millionaire standing in the White House, standing in the 541 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 1: executive building of the most powerful nation in the history 542 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: of the world. Speaking with the President of the United 543 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: States of America, talking about being devalued and dismissed as 544 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:12,800 Speaker 1: a woman. We have a humongous problem in this country, 545 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: and it is a humongous problem. There are people, lots 546 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: of them. Half the nation, I would guess, has a 547 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 1: huge blind spot, and it is killing us as a 548 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,240 Speaker 1: nation the same way it killed those Romans at Kennee. 549 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: People have taken their grievances, people have taken their politics. 550 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: They've been taught in their government schools, taught by their 551 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: bad parents about how bad America sucks. If you're a 552 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: woman in the United States of America in twenty twenty one. 553 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 1: You have the best life any woman ever has in 554 00:39:55,440 --> 00:40:00,720 Speaker 1: the history of the world, the history of of the world. 555 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: If you're a white man, black man, Mexican, whatever you 556 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 1: may be, do you have any idea how blessed you 557 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: are to be here?
