1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is.

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: What look, and I get that. The holsters not the

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right. You want to

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups.

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm

10
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps,

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from

13
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one

15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: I carry around NW Retention dot Com. That's NW Retention

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: percent off. This is the Jesse Kelly Show. I want

20
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: you to imagine something. I want you to imagine you

21
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: wake up this morning, turn on the news and find

22
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: out China has landed several large armies on the northern

23
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: end of Canada, which would pretty much be at the

24
00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: North Pole, and they are storming through Canada to conquering

25
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: cities as we speak. Obviously, America would respond, it's our ally, plus,

26
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they share a border with us. We have

27
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: to get up there. Let's let's go do something about it.

28
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: And we mobilize the marines, we mobilize some gigantic marine units.

29
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: We're sending divisions up there, Marines and some great army units,

30
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: army rangers too, I mean we're talking fighters. Can we

31
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: send our boys up there stop these dirty Chinese commies

32
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: in their tracks? And we send them up there and

33
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: boom wiped out. By noon, our guys are slaughtered. Uh okay, um,

34
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: all right, let's let's now we're getting serious. Okay, clearly

35
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: this is a capable army. Let's let's do this right

36
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: this time, take a little bit of time. Let's send

37
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: another army up there, and let's put a stop to

38
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: these dirty commies. And we sent another one up there,

39
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: only this one's ready, not not some hasty force, this

40
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: one is ready to roll. Boom slaughtered again. And now

41
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: we don't have any armies left, and there's nothing between

42
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: the armies of China and the armies well in the

43
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: cities of the United States of America, Chicago, DCLA, and

44
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: New York, nothing standing in their way. That obviously is

45
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: something out of the movies that you were I we

46
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: could never comprehend such a thing. The only time we've

47
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: even experienced anything remotely like that here in the continental

48
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: United States would be when shoot, it would be Josh,

49
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: the War of eighteen twelve, when they burnt down DC. Chris,

50
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: am I missing something else? I've yep. War of eighteen

51
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: twelve is the only time anybody's experienced that here, and

52
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: that was Let's be frank, it wasn't some massive British

53
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: invasion of America. Obviously they stormed into DC gave us

54
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: the middle finger, but it wasn't you. You didn't think

55
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: you were gone. That happened to Rome almost before Rome

56
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: really became Rome. Rome greatest empire of all time, not debatable.

57
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Don't argue with me yet that length of time. It's

58
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: just it's not debatable. And you know, I have several

59
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: other favorites, but they are the greatest was almost gone

60
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: before it began. Honestly, one of the in my opinion

61
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: biggest military blunders in history is the only thing, and

62
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean the only thing that stopped it from happening.

63
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: So let's do a little set up here. This is

64
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: pre Emperor Rome. Okay, pre Julius Caesar. Now I need

65
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: to clarify, we're talking one generation. Pre Julius Caesar is

66
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. So this is right before Caesar.

67
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: Rome is not led by an emperor or a Caesar,

68
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: a king, whatever you want to call him. Rome is

69
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: a republic. They have not one but two consules. Basically,

70
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: they had two presidents. They were president together. It's a

71
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: very odd system in my opinion. I don't understand it either, Chris. I.

72
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: For all the things Rome did well, I mean maybe

73
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: we're idiots. For all the things they did well, I

74
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: do not understand this. And actually this will come into

75
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: play here in a minute in our story. Again, it

76
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: just screws them up. Sometimes it's led by a senate,

77
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: and we should clarify how all this Rome stuff began.

78
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: And believe me, I'm about to gloss over a whole lot.

79
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: They think, and I can't stress this enough. They think,

80
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: but they're pretty sure Italy itself as a country was

81
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: really crappy about the year one thousand BC, about a

82
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: thousand years before before Christ. And what I mean by

83
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: that was, No, that's not me dogging on No, I'm

84
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: not dogging on Italians right now, Chris. We'll get to

85
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: that later. I mean, obviously that didn't help, But seriously,

86
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. Volcanic is what I mean. Unstable volcanic.

87
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: But as the world tends to do, a lot of

88
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: pain now or a lot of pain early oftentimes will

89
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: result in some really wonderful things later. So massive civilizations

90
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: weren't really rowing in Italy about a thousand years before Christ.

91
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: Then the volcanic stuff dies down. Obviously didn't disappear completely,

92
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: but it dies down a lot, and you have a

93
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: whole bunch of pretty stinking fertile land on your hands

94
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, and not a bad climate right there.

95
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you can picture Italy, that big cowboy boot

96
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: right there in the middle of the Mediterranean water, all

97
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: over the ship to and fro. The place was just

98
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: primed for a civilization to put down some roots and grow.

99
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: Now the Romans do. We're not going to go into

100
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: all the founding, but they begin to raise themselves up

101
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: and now they are a city state. Think just like Greece,

102
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: Grease is still very much around at this time. Rome

103
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: is rising while Greece is on its decline. But they're

104
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: a city state. You know, it's just Rome, and they

105
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: kind of have some new stuff going on, and they

106
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: demand certain things. And these people, man, there's something really

107
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: really cool about them. They're rich people, their leaders in

108
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: their society, all of them. It's not, you know, encouraged

109
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: that they do military service. You do military service. That's

110
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: what you do if you're a Roman. A real Roman

111
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: serves in the military. In fact, for the longest time

112
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: after this, you had to be a property owner to

113
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: serve in the legions. That's going to come into play

114
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: here in a minute. Rome wanted Romans card carrying Romans

115
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: with a stake in the game to be swinging a

116
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: sword for Rome. I should clarify, Rome, just like many, many,

117
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: many other societies. Most other societies, except for places like Sparta,

118
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: did not have full time soldiers, which is so odd

119
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: for us to think about, isn't it. I should clarify.

120
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: While we're on the subject here, that's kind of what

121
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: the founders wanted for America was a quickly trainable militia

122
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: because everyone owned weapons, trained with weapons. If you happen

123
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: to need an army, will raise one pretty quickly. Here,

124
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: the Romans didn't have full time soldiers. If a war

125
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: came up, you put down your farmer's plow, went into

126
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: the shed, grabbed your sword and spear and shield, and

127
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: you marched off to battle. And as soon as it

128
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: was over, you grabbed your stuff and went back home

129
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: and checked it down in the shed, and you picked

130
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: your plow back up and went on. That's what they were.

131
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: That's what Rome was supposed to be for the longest time.

132
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: Now that's the situation in Rome. Let's discuss the situation

133
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: outside of Rome, as Rome goes from being a city

134
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: state to an extremely impressive regional power. In general, the

135
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: Romans are fighting barbarian tribes to their north. Now this

136
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: is a huge obviously this takes place over a long

137
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: period of time, but just no, the Romans are generally

138
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: either fighting the Gauls. I'd be France, the Germans. I

139
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: don't have to explain where you where the Germans are,

140
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: and the Brits, the Britannia and Cartha's and such. But

141
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: that's in general the barbarian tribes. They're fighting. Hang up,

142
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, you need some gold in your portfolio. You

143
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: just have to have it anymore. I just had a

144
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: conversation last night with the guy I invest money with,

145
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: and honestly, because he already knows my thoughts on the matter,

146
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: so he's well established there, he told me, he said,

147
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: it's one of the things I'm telling all my clients now.

148
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: Don't do something crazy or drastic. You know you're never

149
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: gonna get him to say that. He said, you need

150
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: a gold ira. It has to be part of your

151
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: portfolio because look, if the stocks and bonds go pop,

152
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: obviously that's not ideal, not ideal for anybody. You need

153
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: some gold to backstop you against that. Didn't you work

154
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: hard for that money. Don't you think you should make

155
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: sure you protect it. Gold Alliance can help you do that.

156
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: Go to Gold Alliance dot com slash Jesse. That's gold

157
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: Alliance dot com slash Jesse. Go get your gold ira.

158
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly backs in, that's not very nice, Chris. Chris

159
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: is not a nice person. We got again. I read

160
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: all of your emails Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show dot com.

161
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show dot com. I will read

162
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: them all, I probably won't responding it way too many.

163
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: And again, remember you can send in your ask Doctor

164
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: Jesse questions all week long. I set them aside and

165
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: stacked them up for Friday. But we got another very

166
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: nice one about a lady unhappy with her child's history

167
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: teachers and how history is presented, and so as her

168
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: child listen to me. Now, let me clarify, I think

169
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: that is the coolest thing in the world, and I

170
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: hope it never stops being cool to me that kids listen.

171
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: I just I love that because I geek out on

172
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: this stuff. I mean, I liked, I like talking to

173
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: my own kids about it. But I did. I did.

174
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: I told Chris when I read it, I thought, oh, man, oh,

175
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: And he said what I said, Well, I don't know.

176
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: It's when kids listen. He said, well, that's awesome, kids listen.

177
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: I said, I know, it's awesome, but I get worried

178
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: sometimes Chris says why, because you're an a hole. Only

179
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: he says it out loud, and I said, yes, that's why.

180
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: And and his response, I think this was supposed to

181
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: be encouraging. His response to me was, well, they got

182
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: to know people like you were out there. What a

183
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: jerk up yours, Chris, I'm not a jerk. Back to

184
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: our story. Don't worry about Britannia for now. The Romans

185
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: will get to them later. But Gaul you do need

186
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: to worry about. Remember Gaul is France. And when we

187
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: talk about historical things, oftentimes, understandably, we get right to

188
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: the point. We get right to the high point. The Romans.

189
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: The Romans are fighting the Gauls. Wait, what why? How

190
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: did that? And we get this image when it does

191
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: is it creates an image in our mind. It does

192
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: it to me all the time. I'm sure it does

193
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: it to you. Were the Romans, I mean, there weren't

194
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: any other Romans. There was just a Roman army, and

195
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: there weren't Gauls. There were just you know, savage barbarian men.

196
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: They didn't even have women and kids or any other professions.

197
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: And one day the Roman army was just out walking

198
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: through the countryside and so were the Gauls, and they

199
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: just wall they ran into each other fight. You know,

200
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of how we present it. Let's slow down

201
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: on that these people knew about each other. You learn

202
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: about your neighbors as a nation inevitably, and the Romans

203
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: were famous for this. It all started with diplomacy. The

204
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: Romans they wanted to trade with the Gauls. The Gaulls

205
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: wanted to trade with the Romans. The Gaulls really wanted

206
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: Roman wine. This is something, as you know, we've talked

207
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: about extensively. Barbarian tribes throughout the history of the world

208
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: love to booze it up. I mean, gosh. It pretty

209
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: much cost the Mongols their empire. At some point. Their

210
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: leaders kept dying from alcoholism in their forties. These people

211
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: you and you think you like an extra about heavy

212
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: on Friday. These people lived and died for it. I forget,

213
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: I for gosh, I forget his name. One of I

214
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: think it was. I think it was Genghis Khan's son.

215
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: If it was not his son, it was his grandson,

216
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: was the Khan. And he was drinking so much. Picture

217
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: this that his own people came to him and said,

218
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: you have got to get this drinking under control, and

219
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: they assigned somebody to mind him in his drinking. This

220
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: is the head of the Mongolian empire. They assigned him

221
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: to mind him and his drinking and told him he

222
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: was limited to one cup a day, and apparently he

223
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: had a special cup made that was like a gallon.

224
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: That's kind of funny, but still the history of the world.

225
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: You know, Dan Carlin talks about this all the time.

226
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: He has I think it was a drunken History episode,

227
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: talks about this all the time. How much alcohol and

228
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: substance abuse has influenced the world. And no, believe me,

229
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm not here pointing fingers at anybody. How much it

230
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: is and how much it is altered events. Yeah, Chris,

231
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: the opium wars, I mean there's I mean, drugs and

232
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: alcohol have just altered the court. They have. They've altered

233
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: the course of history, and maybe they've affected your own

234
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: life in some way, they've affected mine. Just somebody's touched

235
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: by that somewhere at all times. Well, they have huge

236
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: societal implications too. The Galls, they love to get drunk.

237
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: This is not abnormal. I'm not pointing fingers at them.

238
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: The Galls are pretty cool. Oh, I should clarify. The

239
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: Romans are a little frightened by the Galls, and it's

240
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: more than just the barbarian thing, you know, the fact

241
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: that they are considered barbarians which is funny to me,

242
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: because the Galls actually had democratically elected governments and such. Granted,

243
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: there were some odd rules, I mean, like even odd

244
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: rules about murder that they talk about certain times where

245
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: you could just take an axe to somebody's forehead because

246
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: you were mad at him, and you wouldn't even be

247
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: charged with a crime. There's a different society, but you know,

248
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: democratically elected. And they were big. The gulls were supposed

249
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: to be bigger than the Robans. And they either had

250
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: blonde hair or they would die. They would bleach their

251
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: hair blonde again, a little different looking, something different can

252
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: be really scary. And they had mustaches. Romans were all

253
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: about shaving their faces clean. It was just part of

254
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: their tradition. These dolls apparently had these big, bushy mustaches.

255
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: So they were different people. But they loved to booze.

256
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: And Italy, as you know, this is not exactly surprising.

257
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: Times haven't changed that much. Italy had really really really

258
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: good wine, really good wine. You should know that wine

259
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: back then was several times stronger than wine today. It

260
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: hit like a It hit like hard liquor today. That's

261
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: the best way I can describe it. It's true, it

262
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: would be like drinking whiskey, and the Romans, while they

263
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: certainly enjoyed to drink themselves, considered it really low down

264
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: and scummy. If you drank wine straight, you had to

265
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: delude wine with water, Like what kind of an animal

266
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: would drink it straight? Yes, Chris, I know you would. Well,

267
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: the goals would The goals are not in this too

268
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: to have to be fancy. I know you've known people

269
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: like this. Maybe you are somebody like this. If they're

270
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: out having a cocktail or two, they're not in it

271
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: to have a cocktail or to relax and hang out

272
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: with some friends. They're in this to get torn up.

273
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're on your second beer with a steak,

274
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: couple couples. He's doing a shot in a beer every

275
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: five minutes, you know what I mean. You're looking at

276
00:19:54,240 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: him like, well, he's not driving home tonight. It sounds

277
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: like I'm judging. I'm not. I've been there manion times.

278
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: But that's the gulls. And so the Romans start to train,

279
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: trade wine, trade things back and forth. They know each other,

280
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: but they are running into conflicts. They keep slamming into

281
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: each other at various times. Rome is ambitious. Rome is

282
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: trying to expand, and that's not sit here and pretend

283
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 1: like the Gulls aren't ambitious either. They're expanding, and soon

284
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: the Romans get worried about these big, scary gulls. Are terrified, terrified.

285
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: What the Romans have fought enough against the gulls. Now

286
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: they know a few things about them. They know they're

287
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: very disorganized in combat. They know that they will tire out,

288
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: probably quickly. But they also know them to be fanatically

289
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: brave and ferocious in combat, gigantic, blonde mustached. Sometimes they

290
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: would go into battle naked, which is a dude man

291
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: that has led his plan with fire. But still the

292
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: Romans knew them to be brave and ferocious. Who in

293
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: the world would terrify these people? Well, we're about to

294
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: find out. Credit Score, Credit Score, Credit score. I know

295
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: by now you're rolling your eyes when you hear me

296
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: talk about it. You heard me talk about credit Score

297
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: a long time before I even started working with Score,

298
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: Matt Master. I'm so thrilled to be with them, though,

299
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: because it matters so much. It affects your entire life.

300
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: It affects the things you can buy, It affects your

301
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 1: retirement one hundred thousand dollars on a homeloan. That's what

302
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: you can save when you improve your credit score or

303
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: scoremaster one hundred thousand dollars. Do the math over time

304
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: you buy two or three houses, that's the difference in

305
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: your standard of living until the day you die. It's

306
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: that big, and it doesn't take a genius to do it.

307
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: All you have to do is go to scoremaster dot

308
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: com slash jesse. That scoremaster dot com slash jesse. The

309
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: average average user raises their score sixty one points in

310
00:22:44,440 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: twenty days or less. What in the world could scare Galls?

311
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: Surely there's nothing out there that scares these big people,

312
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: right there is. And as you know, I like Germany.

313
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: I think Germany's a cool, cool place with a really

314
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: really cool history, with some notable exceptions, but I think

315
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: it's I think it's a cool, traditional place. I just do.

316
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: I love the history of it. I see why a

317
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: lot of Germans take up a lot of pride in

318
00:23:54,920 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: being German. Clearly that can go wrong on occasion, Chris,

319
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: but I think it's a cool place to the cool tradition,

320
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: and part of my love for Germany came with about

321
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: the first time I learned of these people. Now understand,

322
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 1: this is Germania they call it at this time, and

323
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: this is not one big nation, because big nations didn't

324
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: really exist at this point, not in that way. None

325
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: of these people were about to talk about would have

326
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: said I'm German, I'm a German. None of them would.

327
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: They were all tribes, bigger tribes, but came from this area,

328
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: this Germany area, Germania, and there are several gigantic, gigantic

329
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: tribes up there, and these thick, dark, scary forests, which

330
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: makes it really cool anyway, doesn't it doesn't it make

331
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: it cooler that the forests are so dark, they're like

332
00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: triple canopy jungle, and it gets really wintry and cold, old,

333
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: and out of this environment, you know, cold builds toughness.

334
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: How many times that we talked about this, there emerge

335
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: these tribes, and apparently in general they're enormous, bigger than

336
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: the Gauls, more frightening than the Gauls, and they would

337
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: routinely walk around shirtless in the winter time in the snow,

338
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: completely naked from the waistep. These people, the Germans thought

339
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,239
Speaker 1: they were from, or the Romans thought they were from

340
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: a different planet, that these people are nuts, and two

341
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: of the big tribes, the Kimbri and the Tutones or Tutons,

342
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: depending on who you're listening to. I'm gonna call them

343
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: tutons today. I don't know that that's right. I've heard

344
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 1: it so many different ways. I don't know. Kimbri and Tutons.

345
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: They're two separate and need to clarify. Separate Germanic tribes,

346
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: huge tribes. We're talking hundreds of thousands of people here,

347
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: so tribe might not even be a good way to

348
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: put it. That's a country, especially at this point, and

349
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: they decide they need to move on, they want to

350
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: move on. Now. This part of history drives me nuts.

351
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: The unknowns, the little unknowns that I want to know.

352
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: You see, I see these two gigantic, powerful tribes decide

353
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: they're going to pack up and move and I want

354
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: to know what? What do I want to know? Same

355
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: thing you want to know, Chris, Yeah, why why are

356
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: you moving? You didn't run out of something up there.

357
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: I have to assume, maybe wrongly, that you didn't get

358
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: pushed out by someone else. I don't know, maybe you did.

359
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just the nature of man. Maybe it got

360
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: tired of being shirtless in the snow and wanted to

361
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: push onto warmer climates. But these two tribes decide to

362
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: join together, not to become one tribe, but they decide,

363
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: we're packing up and we're moving out together. And they

364
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: start moving, and they're moving from Germany and they're moving

365
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: south and they're moving down towards Rome. Now they do

366
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: not there is zero indication they had any plans for

367
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: some Roman invasion as they left. It genuinely just looks

368
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: like a society that has decided. I mean, you and

369
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: I can't even relate to this, an entire society that's decided.

370
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: You know, we're moving, We're moving all of us. I

371
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: imagine that America wakes up tomorrow morning. You know, I've

372
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: had enough of this. It's just the dagon cold. We're

373
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,120
Speaker 1: moving to Mexico. Wait what who? Oh? All of us,

374
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: the whole place. So you have women, kids, livestock. I've

375
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 1: a picture what that looks like at this point in time.

376
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: It's just got to be massive. And they start moving. Well,

377
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: the Romans, obviously, as you would, are a bit concerned. Yeah,

378
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: there are a lot of women and children there in there,

379
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: but there are also a lot of Roman or German

380
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: warriors in there, and they're guys. They're heading our direction.

381
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: Rome very proud of its military at this point, as

382
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: they should be. They just send an army up there

383
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: and they get absolutely demolished. I don't mean a near

384
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: run thing. They run into these Germans. Tell the Germans

385
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: go pound sand. The Germans just smashed the Roman army

386
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: like a grape. Roman armies had not been smashed like grapes.

387
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: Oh well, now Rome is a little concerned, but okay,

388
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: not the end of the world. That wasn't our best

389
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: foot forward. Obviously we underestimated these dirty Germans. Let's get

390
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: our real forces together. And they put their real forces

391
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: together under the two guys in charge, and they marched

392
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: them north and the Germans, you know, the Germans even

393
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: offer that when the Romans come up, the Germans eithern

394
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: say yet, look, bro, we are not coming for you.

395
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: We want some land somewhere. We're tired of Germany. Give

396
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: us some land over in Gaul. It's which is not

397
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: even Roman. At this point, Rome owned some of Gaul,

398
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: but certainly not all of it. That didn't come till Caesar.

399
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: So the Romans are handed this. You know totally this

400
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: deal that would have worked. But the Romans were so different.

401
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: They were so different in that they they never negotiate,

402
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: did with anybody for any reason. And I'm blown away.

403
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: Their entire empire didn't end for a million times because

404
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: they would always run into this. They would be losing

405
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: wars and people would present great deals to them and

406
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: they'd be, um, no, absolutely not. And when the shoe

407
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: was on the other foot, when they were crushing you,

408
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: you got no say no, We're gonna do whatever we

409
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: want whenever I want. It's odd. So the guys head

410
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: north and they're instructed you're not allowed to deal with

411
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: these Germans. You know what you can give them when

412
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: they ask for something, Nothing, absolutely nothing. Now the Romans

413
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: send their entire force. Two dudes up there, let's go

414
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: get it. I mean, two dudes in charge. Now there's

415
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: a problem, and a big problem, well quite a few

416
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: big problems. The main problem is the two dudes. Remember

417
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: I said I didn't understand the two men in charge thing.

418
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: This happened a lot in the history of Rome. These

419
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: two guys hated each other. These are ambitious people, and

420
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: you know it's politics. Politics ain't changed that much politics

421
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: is a contact sport. Your family this my family did. Dad.

422
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: He said, this doesn't take a lot to create an

423
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: enemy for life. They hate each other, and they hate

424
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: each other so much that when they're getting close to

425
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: the Germans, they decide they're going to camp on opposite

426
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: sides of a river. They're gonna set up their Roman

427
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: camp on opposite sides of the river. They clearly do

428
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: not understand the power of what they're facing. The Germans

429
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: sweep down on one of these guys in annihilating before

430
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: the other one can even get up and get into

431
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: the fight. But finally he rides into the fight once

432
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: the other Roman commander at all his troops are wiped

433
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: out and he gets wiped out too. And I can't

434
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: stress this enough. It was not difficult for the Germans.

435
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: They were blowing through these Romans like they were nothing.

436
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: And now there's nobody between these Germans and the city

437
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: gates of Rome. Hang on, how God ant him only

438
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: side on me? Jesse Kelly, you're listening to the Jesse

439
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: Kelly show home title. Theft is not a small problem.

440
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 1: It's very difficult for me to get this across to you.

441
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: How big of a deal this is cybercrime is up

442
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: seventy five percent, seventy five percent during all this lockdown stuff.

443
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: And here's what's wild. And look, this happens in crime

444
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: from time to time. You've heard me talk about it

445
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: on my show. The criminals oftentimes are out in front

446
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: of law enforcement. It takes law enforcement time to catch

447
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: up stop a crime. The only thing in the world

448
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: that can stop home title theft for you immediately is

449
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: hometitlelock dot com. I wish, honestly, I wish there was

450
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: something else. I wish this crime didn't exist. It doesn't.

451
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: Home title loock dot com is your only defense, and

452
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm proud to speak for him. I have it myself.

453
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you to get something I don't have.

454
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: Go to hometitle loock dot com. Used to code radio

455
00:33:47,880 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: that even gets you thirty days for free. There is

456
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: now nothing between the Kimbri and two tons in Rome.

457
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: There's no army that couldn't even come close to stopping them.

458
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: And you heard me say at the beginning of the show,

459
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: gotta be one of, if not the greatest military blunders

460
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 1: in history. This is when it takes place right here,

461
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: and I don't I'll never understand it. I don't know

462
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: if the Kimbrian two tons didn't know that all the

463
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: Roman armies were gone. I don't know whether they just

464
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 1: were a slower people. And I don't mean slower mentally.

465
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean some people just move in life. Some people

466
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: move at different paces, which is fine. I've looked. I

467
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: am a sense of urgency guy. That doesn't mean I'm

468
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: running around at all times. But if I do something,

469
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it now. If I want something done,

470
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: I want it done now. I drive faster than other people.

471
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: I walk faster than other people. I'm just want to

472
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 1: get where I'm going. And that's that's not ah I'm

473
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: better or worse thing. That's how I am. I one

474
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: of my best buddies, his name is Luis, Mexican dude.

475
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: And you'll see that more with a lot of the

476
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: Latin American cultures. They talk about it all the time

477
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: amongst themselves, so laid back, so painfully opposite of me.

478
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 1: It's alarming. We'll be heading out somewhere and I'm ready

479
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: to go. It's on time, all right, we gotta leave.

480
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 1: We said we were leaving at seven, like seven, five, seven, ten.

481
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: Who'll come sauntering out and I'm about to blog asket right,

482
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: I don't leave late, and he's just totally smiling, laid back.

483
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: Watch what's wrong. We're fine. There's no big deal different.

484
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: So maybe it's that with the with the jer I

485
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. But with nothing, these people

486
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 1: set out looking for better fertile land. Okay, you now

487
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: have the mecca of fertile land, Italy sitting in front

488
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: of you. After you've wiped out several Roman armies. It's

489
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: all right there. And they take the summer off. I'm kidding.

490
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: I don't even mean like a week to recover and recuperate.

491
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 1: They go their separate ways briefly and just say, you know,

492
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: I'm oh man, I'm about done for now. Let's just

493
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: kick back for a while, and they just take the

494
00:36:54,600 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: summer off the Romans. The Romans thought their republic was

495
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: about to be over, and you know what, they were right.

496
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,959
Speaker 1: If the Germans had come, there is no more Rome.

497
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: You probably get how wild this is. This is crazy.

498
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: If Rome goes down at this point in time, there

499
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: is a great chance you never hear the name Rome

500
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: in your life. Think how much the name Rome? How

501
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 1: many times have you hearn about Rome and ancient Roman Romans.

502
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: It's not like you have to listen to this show

503
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: to know about the Romans. It's one of those things.

504
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 1: It's so big everybody knows about it. Our culture. Christ

505
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: has pointed out our culture, so much of it, our

506
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 1: form of government, so much of it's based on Romans.

507
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: Western civilization is based on the Romans. And it disappears

508
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: like that at this one moment in history. If the

509
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: Kimbrian tow to just walk through the gates, they're practically

510
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: open in floorce me. But they don't, all right, they don't,

511
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: and the Romans understand. There is a real sense of

512
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: urgency here now. Now. I debated whether or not I

513
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: was going to do this today because it extends our

514
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: story a bit. But I'm doing it today. I'm sorry,

515
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm doing it today. No, I'm not going two days on.

516
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: You don't worry. I'm gonna finish it. But we're gonna

517
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: go a little longer today because we need to do

518
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: something now, and we need to pause our German side

519
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: of the story, and even pause the Roman military side

520
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: of the story, and we need to go to the

521
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: internal politics what's going on inside of Rome at this time.

522
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: Remember when I told you Rome was getting to be

523
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: a real powerful regional power. Now, I mean Rome is

524
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: a big, big, big dog right now. Not probably considered

525
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: the greatest empire in the world yet, but certainly rapidly climbing.

526
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: And when you rapidly climb, it means you're rapidly taking

527
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: over other territories, other peoples. And what comes with that

528
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: slaves and money, and those two really went hand in hand.

529
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: Slaves were currency for most of the history of the world,

530
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: and I understand it still exists in some parts of

531
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: the world today. But you really need to know how

532
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: blessed you are that we do not live in a

533
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 1: world ruled by slavery today. Slavery is not an American thing.

534
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: Slavery is the history of the world, and it was

535
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: just ingrained in Gosh, like every culture. They used them,

536
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 1: they traded in them, they sold them, they bought. Autom

537
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: you stole them when you had wars, that's what you did.

538
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: Hang on. Auto protection plans are just something you have

539
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: to have now because these prices to fix your vehicle. Look,

540
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: they've always stunk. I don't want to do this thing

541
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: of Wow, it's worse today than it's ever been. I

542
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: understand it's never been a pleasant feeling to take your

543
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: vehicle to the shop. It's just not. It costs a

544
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: lot of money. It's an inconvenience. But today, with this

545
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: technology they have and even you know, lower end vehicles,

546
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: these prices will cross you. You have to get an

547
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: auto protection plan. So why not go to America's No.

548
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: Number one auto protection company, car Shield, Because car Shield

549
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: they offer a wide range of plans. You don't have

550
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: to well, you can have this one or that one.

551
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, not a car shield. You can

Speaker 1: have one that works for you in your budget. Plus,

556
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 1: used to code Jesse save ten percent. A deductible may apply.

557
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: Rome is coming into lots of slaves, lots of them,

558
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: and lots of money too. I know the two go

559
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: hand in hand. But just as you are expanding, you're

560
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: picking up the slaves, you're picking up resources. And something

561
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: is happening within Rome. They are going from a hard

562
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: scrabble people trying to hack a civilization out of the

563
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: wilderness to silk, robes, grapes, wine, luxury. They're getting very,

564
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: very very rich, and as is the case in most societies,

565
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: lots of that wealth is being centralized in a few people,

566
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: not the masses, which is okay sometimes as long as

567
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: the middle class is doing okay, middle class has to

568
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: be doing fine at all times. You're always gonna have rich,

569
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: You're always gonna have poor. That's the case in every society.

570
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: You can tell where a society is going by how

571
00:42:55,040 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: the middle class is doing and the middle class in rome. Wow,

572
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: hang on, this is a Jesse Kelly show. This is

573
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: a Jesse Kelly show. There are several obvious problems with slavery, right,

574
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: I don't have to point out the obvious ones, But

575
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: one of them that people don't really talk about is

576
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: how much slavery can actually screw up a society as

577
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: a whole. You see business people, they have profit loss sheets,

578
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: even back in the Roman times, although I'm sure it

579
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: was printed on a scroll, And on that profit loss sheet,

580
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: you can take a long look at your money incoming.

581
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: You can take a long look at your expenditures, and

582
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 1: you know, one of the biggest black marks on there.

583
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: In every single company on Earth, labor labor costs are huge, necessary,

584
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: but huge companies from the beginning of time I have

585
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: tried to figure out a way to keep labor costs down.

586
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: You try to find a way to keep all costs down,

587
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: but that labor cost is generally so big you look around.

588
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: That's why, as I've told you several times, at your job,

589
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: be valuable and be as versatile as humanly possible. Because

590
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: boss is looking at his labor costs and he's trying

591
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: to decide between I gotta fire somebody, and he's looking

592
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: at producer Chris, and he's looking at me, and one

593
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: of us has to go. And well, producer Chris can

594
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: do this, this, and this, and Jesse can only do

595
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: this by Jesse. That's how life actually works. Study night aside.

596
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 1: You're looking at high labor costs, but you're also looking

597
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: at a stable full of slaves. Well, it's not hard

598
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: to come up with a solution if you're trying to

599
00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: reduce costs, isn't it. They're rich in Rome started running

600
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: the middle class out of their jobs and only using

601
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: slaves as labor. You're now pushing middle class people down,

602
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: not only into poverty, you're pushing them into the cities.

603
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: You're essentially this was the end. I'm not going to

604
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: go into it all today. This was the end of

605
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: the Roman republic. This entire system here, because from this

606
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: system came the Popularees, a populist movement of which our

607
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: next guy we're going to talk about was very much

608
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,439
Speaker 1: part of it. Of the people deserved this, the people

609
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: deserve that. We need to pass rules. You can't hire

610
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: too many slaves, you can't do this, you can't do that,

611
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: and that eventually led to Julius Caesar, who was also

612
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: a populare So this slavery system is really what screwed Rome,

613
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 1: what took Rome from being a republic to a you know,

614
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: run by an emperor. Now, how does that matter to

615
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: our story? Well, part of the getting rich, fat, lazy

616
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: and happy story was these Romans. Now remember the old Romans.

617
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: A property owner must go fight. That's what we did.

618
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: These Romans had a lot of money. And it's easy

619
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: to say a property owner must go fight when you

620
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: have a farmhouse in your field and the barbarians are

621
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: coming towards it. It's more and more difficult to pick

622
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: up a sword and go shove it into somebody's stomach.

623
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: When you're sitting around with a wife or two bunch

624
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: of house slaves, bunch of field slaves. You haven't lifted

625
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: a finger in forever, eating what you want when you want,

626
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: laying around in comfort, and then your children get raised

627
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,720
Speaker 1: in that difficult to prompt that person off to battle.

628
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: He's rich and comfortable and fat and happy. These Romans

629
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: didn't want to serve anymore. But in case you haven't

630
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: heard back to our story, you have a gigantic army

631
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: of Germans coming your way, and you need an army.

632
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: Up Comes a man, a populare very much one of

633
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: these champions of the middle class type people. Up Comes

634
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: a man name Gaius Marius. Guius Marius is a name

635
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: I want you to you know, I don't give you

636
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: too many names in details. I never do that. I

637
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 1: think it ruins a story. Take the name Gaius Marius

638
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: and stamp it into your brain right now, because it

639
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: is an absolute disgrace. Guius Marius is not a household name.

640
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: You know that whole Consul of Rome thing, president of

641
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:57,760
Speaker 1: Rome thing. Gaius Marius was president of Rome seven times

642
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: he personally, as I'm about to show you, saved the

643
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 1: Roman Republic. Guius Marius should be as well known as

644
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: Julius Caesar and fat Guius Marius was Julius Caesar's uncle,

645
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: but that's another story entirely. And yet everybody in the

646
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: world has heard of Julius Caesar, like five percent of

647
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:22,959
Speaker 1: the population maybe has heard of Gaius Marius. Gaius Marius

648
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: at this point Germans on the way down is an accomplished,

649
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 1: tough guy general, and he's a guy who's been pushing

650
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: for certain reforms in the army for quite some time.

651
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: One of those big reforms is this, I'm done with

652
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 1: all this property owner's stuff. Let anybody serve in the legions.

653
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: I need manpower, These guys need jobs. This is going

654
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: to work out for everybody. And the Romans had shunned

655
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:59,479
Speaker 1: that and shunned that. Well, now you have a whole

656
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 1: bunch of Herman's coming your way. You can't afford to

657
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: shun that anymore. They give Marius the power. They give

658
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: Marius what he wants. And Marius doesn't just pack a

659
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: bunch of people into his legions. Marius is all about

660
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 1: that training life. You see Romans head for a long

661
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: time now. Not wanted to carry their own gear around,

662
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 1: gears very heavy, having carried a lot of it myself.

663
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,399
Speaker 1: Not with Guius Marius. Put on all your gear. We're

664
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: going on marches. Why just to march because you need

665
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: to get tougher. Twenty mile marches in sandals with seventy

666
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: eighty pounds of gear on your back. Obviously it was

667
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: very difficult, but hard work pays off very very quickly.

668
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: Guyas Marius has not a fighting force of just guys

669
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: who exist. He's got some hard men. He has hard

670
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: men who are in physical shape. Why does that physical

671
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: shape matter? Well, we're going to get to that in

672
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: a moment. Gas Marius has completely reformed the Roman legions

673
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: into a hard force, well equipped, and he marches north

674
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,879
Speaker 1: because the Kimbri and the two Tons have gotten back

675
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: together and they're coming on down. I shouldn't say got

676
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: together physically, though they're together. They're all marching the same direction,

677
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 1: but they are separate people. Right now, Kimbri and two

678
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 1: Tons are separate and they're coming down separately. Dias Marius

679
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: has a plan. Though he's vastly outnumbered, he has a plan.

680
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: He's going to take these armies out one at a time.

681
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: They come in contact with the Tutons first, and the

682
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: Romans were absolutely famous for their infield construction. They would

683
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: build forts in a day and then steadily slowly improve

684
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: the fort every day. You give the Romans two or

685
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: three days, you have a fortification. You can't penetrate in

686
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere. They were just grad at it.

687
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: Shovels and axes and engineering. The Romans really were engineering

688
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: legends more than anything else. And he gets right up

689
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: next to the Tutons builds himself a fort, and his

690
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: men see the Tutans in their size, and they're scared

691
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 1: to death of them at first. But Marius does this

692
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: on purpose. He wants the Romans to observe these people

693
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: and see that they're only people. A little bigger maybe,

694
00:52:52,120 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 1: but they're only people. Hang, is he smarter than everyone

695
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: who knows? Does he think so? Yeah? That Jesse Kelly

696
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: show car shield does it better than others because car

697
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: shield gives me something I value, something I value a lot,

698
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to an auto protection company. They

699
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: give me freedom of choice, freedom where to take my

700
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: vehicle that has just been an absolute backbreaker and if

701
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,240
Speaker 1: you've been through this, you know what I'm talking about.

702
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: You'll have this auto protection company and they'll tell you

703
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: something like yes, yes, you're these repairs are covered by us. Congratulations,

704
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: that'll that'll work out fine. All we needed to do

705

Speaker 1: ten percent on your plan in a deductible it may apply.

713
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 1: The Romans are now right by the Tutins, and the

714
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 1: Tutins they start to come around this Roman fort and

715
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: they decide as a people, if these Romans aren't going

716
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: to come out of their fort and fight, well, they're

717
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 1: not going to stay around. They're going to go by

718
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: and just keep going the direction they're going. And on

719
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: the way by the fort, the Tutons are taunting the Romans. Now,

720
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: remember these are Romans. These are very, very very proud people,

721
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 1: to put it, mildly absurdly cocky. Not that I would

722
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: do anything like that, Chris, but very cocky people, proud people.

723
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: And the Tutans are saying things to the Romans like, Hey,

724
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: do you have any messages I should give your wife?

725
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 1: Not making that up. The Romans in the camp are

726
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: starting to get upset with Marius because their pride is

727
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: being wounded. Hey, I want to go fight to do

728
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: you hear what he's said about my wife? And I

729
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: don't even like my wife, alk clad I made that

730
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: part up, but still they are getting upset with Marius.

731
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: He tells them, I'll sit down, shut your mouth. I'll

732
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: let you know when you're when you can talk. Now,

733
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: Marius lets them all go by. Marius decides he's going

734
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: to follow the Tutans. Not too close, obviously, but he's

735
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 1: just going to follow them. It would not be hard

736
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: to follow a size of the size of people like

737
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 1: that follows them. Eventually, the Tutans camp down by a river.

738
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: So there's the river and then there's the Tutans and

739
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: then there's the Romans. Meaning the Tutans are between the

740
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: Romans and the river. This Roman army, like every other

741
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: army must drink. They approach the Romans, approach Marius and

742
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: tell him we are thirsty. Marius, this is he's famous

743
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: for this, points towards the Tutans and says, well, you

744
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 1: can have water, but you're going to pay for it.

745
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 1: In blood, Mareus puts together a genius battle plan that

746
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: was uniquely tailored to fight these Germans and uniquely tailored

747
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: to take on the German numbers. Essentially, he changed the

748
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: Roman formations to account for the fact you're going to

749
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: be surrounded. We can't do anything about that. You stay disciplined.

750
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: Once you get surrounded, they are going to do what

751
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: these Germans were famous for doing. They're going to freak

752
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: out and charge and be brave and just go crazy.

753
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: And then that looks good in Braveheart. In real life,

754
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: human endurance has limits. Then they're going to gas out.

755
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: If you're disciplined, and you, because you're one of Gaius

756
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: Mary troops, you are in outstanding shape. They gas out.

757
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: You're still sitting there, information shields up, spears at the ready.

758
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: You're going to cut them down like grass. And there's

759
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: an old proverb, it may actually be a Roman proverb.

760
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: Look this up. When I say it, Chris, it's called

761
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: fatigue makes cowards of us. All. I didn't make that up,

762
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: but I should actually just give myself credit for it.

763
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: It's my radio show. I can. I can say whatever

764
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: I want. Tired men run. Who said it, Chris, No,

765
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't Vince Lombardi, you idiot. Now, it's not Vince. Gosh,

766
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 1: Chris is such an idiot. It wasn't Vince Lombardi. You

767
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: know what, I'll just look it up myself. Chris. It's ancients.

768
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: Was it pattent either? Never mind? Either way, when you

769
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: get tired, you get scared, and you will run. It's

770
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: just a fact. It's the way the human body works.

771
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: These Germans get exhausted, they can't get through these lines,

772
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: they're getting cut down, and they turn and run. Only

773
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: Germany does things a little differently. You see. German women

774
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: were notoriously strong women, not just physically mentally, and they

775
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: were famous for they would ride behind their men into

776
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 1: battle and form essentially a wagon train wall behind their men.

777
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: They would flash themselves to their men during the battle,

778
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: while at the same time half cheering their men on

779
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 1: and half putting their men down so their men would

780
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: fight harder. If that seems a little weird, understand this.

781
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: Remember I said, slaveries the history of the world. These

782
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 1: German women, as all men did at this time, knew

783
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: what would happen if they lost. I don't have to

784
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: elaborate too much on the horrors of slavery for a man.

785
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: For a woman, much worse, in my opinion. Remember, many

786
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: of these female slaves were taken into the home, if

787
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 1: you will, that's a life of living hell. These German

788
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: women knew this. Now the Germans take off running, only

789
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: you take off running and run into this gigantic wagon

790
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: train of your own women, and the German women start

791
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: attacking their own men with axes. It's just the Romans

792
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: wrote about this. They were horrified. Didn't never seen anything

793
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: like it. The German women would not only attack their

794
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: own men with axes, they would attack and kill their

795
01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: own children to make sure they're children could not be slaves.

796
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: That's how obsessed with freedom and staying free these Germans were.

797
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: The Romans were floored. I mean, flord you know how

798
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: much it takes to Flora Roman. But Gaius Marius has

799
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: done it. He has defeated the Teutons. But he still

800
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 1: has this gigantic army of Kimbrie. He has to go

801
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: face now, I'll wrap this up here quickly. He goes

802
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: tracks down the Kimbri in one of my favorite moments

803
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 1: in history. The Kimbri come out and meet Gaius Marius.

804
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: The leaders are having a conversation that Kimbrie tell Gaius

805
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: Marius because there's no email back then, Oh you just

806
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 1: hang tight right here, our buddies. The Tutans are going

807
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: to be joining us shortly, and Gaius Marius tells them

808
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 1: they might be a little while. We've given them a

809
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: piece of permanent land. They buried them all. The Kimbrie

810
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: realize what happens. The Kimbrie go into battle, and pretty

811
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: much the exact same thing happens. I don't want to

812
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: act like the Germans just laid down. They put up

813
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: a heck of a show. But Rome was saved Kimbrie

814
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:28,439
Speaker 1: Teutons defeated. But let me ask you something. Is this

815
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: whole thing a win for Rome or did this whole

816
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 1: thing simply speed along Rome's change from republic to dictatorship.

817
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 1: You can argue what Gaius Marius did with the army

818
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: and whatnot was necessary, and I would agree. But now

819
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 1: you have a bunch of men serving in the legions

820
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: who are loyal not to Rome. They're not property owners

821
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: in Rome, don't care about Rome. They're loyal to their generals.

822
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 1: Now it's not really a Roman legion. Now it's Caius

823
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: Marius's legion. And how did Rome go from being a

824
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: republic to a dictatorship? Back of the class hand up?

825
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: How did that happen? Julius Caesar marched his legion the

826
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: thirteenth Julius Caesar marched his men on Rome, and his

827
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: men followed right along because they weren't just Roman, they

828
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 1: were Julius Caesar's Romans. The things you do to survive

829
01:03:54,880 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 1: sometimes there would end you. You don't have to dip forever,

830
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: you know that, Ryan, You don't have to smoke forever.

831
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: And the reason I say it like that is I

832
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: have been that guy. I've been that guy. I dipped

833
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: for so long. And what would happen is I would

834
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 1: decide I'm gonna quit. It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit.

835
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm a man, I don't need any help. I'm just

836
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 1: gonna quit cold turkey. And I would fail time and

837
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 1: time and time again. I tried things like the patch

838
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: I didn't work, gum, sunflower seeds I tried at all.

839
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of finding the right thing to
