1 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse 2 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on 3 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: a spectacular Tuesday. As we cruise through this week, and 4 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna level with you here, i still have to 5 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 1: on the show. I'm going to address finally the Marjorie 6 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: Taylor Green thing. I have to talk about the administrative 7 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: state and what that idiot KBJ said in the Supreme 8 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: Court about the administrative state and what they're working on there. 9 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: I have so much stuff I still want to get to, 10 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: but I don't know if I'm going to get there 11 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: for a while. In fact, let me go and spoil it. 12 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: I know I'm not going to get there for the 13 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: next hour. Maybe you are new to the Jesse Kelly Show. Oh, 14 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: let me go ahead and give it to you. I'm 15 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: a history freak. I am not a historian. I'm a stupid, 16 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: uneducated barbarian. I was a marine and a construction worker. 17 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: I went to community college. I just love history. I 18 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: have since I was a child. I love history. I 19 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: can't get enough of it. And from time to time 20 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: on this show, I will basically stop all commentary, food, politics, life, 21 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,639 Speaker 1: and I will just tell a history story of some kind. 22 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: I would say every month, every two months, I do this. 23 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's an hour, sometimes it's three hours. I try 24 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: to not take up the whole show with that. For 25 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: people who hate it, well, we've kind of fallen into me, 26 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: Chris Corey, we've kind of fallen into this. Hour two. 27 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: We will do an hour and then we'll go back 28 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: to it. So here's the spoiler alert. The next hour 29 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: is going to be history. It is going to be 30 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: very applicable to America today, to communist insurgencies, world affairs, 31 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: military affairs. There's a lot we can apply. I'm going 32 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: to stop after an hour. We'll go back to the 33 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: news Tomorrow. Hour two we're picking it up again, and 34 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: we'll keep doing it every day until I'm done with it. Okay, 35 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: But there is a conflict that is relatively recent, I 36 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: guess called the Rhodesian bush War. But it is a conflict. 37 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: As I talk to people, some some know a lot 38 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: about there seems to be no in between. There are 39 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: people who know a lot about it and there are 40 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: people who know nothing about it. Almost nobody seems to 41 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: know ah a little bit about it. Let me give 42 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: you the reason why. In my opinion. Having spent quite 43 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: a while reading looking this up. It's been weeks I've 44 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: been digging into this. It takes place in Africa, so 45 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: it's clear across the globe. It wasn't. Now America was involved, 46 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: and we'll get to that, but it wasn't really an 47 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: American thing, So Americans are not going to pay as 48 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: much attention African wars in general, wars and famines and 49 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: things like that are so common to us as we 50 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: look at the news that one doesn't necessarily stand out 51 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: over the others, so we don't look into that. It's 52 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: just kind of one of those things that's gone by 53 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: most people. Another reason it goes by most Americans is 54 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: your teachers in your government schools, if that's what you 55 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: went to, and in your universities, if that's what you 56 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: went to, most likely were communists or communists adjacent. And 57 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, everybody at some point in time 58 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: in this story doesn't necessarily look great, but there was 59 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: lot of communist involvement here. In fact, it was the 60 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: communists who destroyed Rhodesia, and therefore your fifth grade social 61 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: studies teacher probably doesn't want to bring it up for 62 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: the same reason. They'll tell you too. They're blue in 63 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: the face about Hitler, but they don't want to ever 64 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: really tell you about Mao and Stalin and all those 65 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: things because it makes communism look bad, all right, So 66 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: the people who don't know about it, those are kind 67 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: of the reasons people don't know about it. Now, why 68 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,679 Speaker 1: the other extreme? And we got a bunch of emails 69 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: from people who are clearly Rhodesian bush war freaks. Why 70 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: the other extreme? It is so fascinating, it's so fascinating. 71 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: And because it's so fascinating in so many different ways, 72 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: you can be obsessed with it. What kind of ways. 73 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: Maybe you're a dude or even a chick who's into 74 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: military stuff. We're going to be talking about one of 75 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: the finest militaries, in my opinion, that has ever walked 76 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: to the planet. Almost a spartan like society for reasons, 77 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: I'll explain. Oh, so maybe you're into tribal warfare, that 78 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I love that stuff too, as you 79 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: know American Indians, things like that. It's got all kinds 80 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: of that. So maybe military stuff is yours. Maybe political 81 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: drama is your thing. Maybe different forms of government of 82 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: your thing. Maybe diplomacy itself. This nation leaning on that nation, 83 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: but they lean on that nation. Whatever you happen to 84 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: be into, it's in this and you can just wade 85 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: into this story and not get near enough. I'm gonna 86 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: break this down and it's gonna take me a while. 87 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: And I promise you, promise you, if you are interested 88 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: in what I'm talking about now, if you go start 89 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: picking up books, you will learn so much more than 90 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 1: I'm about to tell you. You'll learn new stuff. It's amazing, 91 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: all right. Now, Remember when we did the Crappiest Country 92 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: in the World, Crappiest in the World tournament. How about 93 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: we have Chris sixteen countries, sixteen countries in the crappiest 94 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: country in the World tournament. One of those countries, maybe 95 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: you remember, was a country named Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe. Huh sounds 96 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: pretty rough. What was wrong with Zimbabwe? Well, there's the 97 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: whole fifty percent unemployment thing. There's the whole you broke 98 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: your arm, you show up at the hospital and they 99 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: don't have any doctors thing. There's the no medicine, cabinets 100 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: are empty, no water in some places. It's so bad 101 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: in Zimbabwe that people when they have the means to 102 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: do so regularly flee now a truly, truly terrible place. 103 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: But that is interesting, you see, because if you were 104 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: to rewind to again, not ancient history, we'll call it 105 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty, Zimbabwe is the wealthiest country in all of Africa. 106 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: You know how big Africa is, how many countries there are. 107 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: It is not just wealthy as in there's a couple 108 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: rich guys. Families are on paved roads, air conditioning, people 109 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: drive jaguarres up the road, wonderful modern schools, hospitals, universities. 110 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: If I were to put a blindfold on you right 111 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: now and rewind to the year nineteen sixty and put 112 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: you in any American city, you could look around and 113 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: see what life is like in a modern country. And 114 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: then I would have blindfold you again and teleport you 115 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: over to It was in Zimbabwe then, but to Zimbabwe 116 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: of nineteen sixty. You would not be able to tell 117 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: the difference until the people started to speak and you 118 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: heard the accent. So it was so wonderful in nineteen sixty. 119 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: Why do people flee now, starve to death? Now? Why 120 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: aren't their doctors, Why isn't their medicine. We're about to 121 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: tell that story. Let us rewind. We're going to go 122 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: back into this is early, early, early that we're talking 123 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: about the age of sailing ships. I'm going to have 124 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: to give you details that I normally don't give as 125 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: I lay this out, because the base of knowledge so 126 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: many people have is lacking here. Don't feel bad about that. 127 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: Most people don't have it right. So when I'm vague, 128 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: it's because I've got too many details coming for you later. 129 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: Rewind all the way back to the sailing ship age, 130 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: the age of Christopher Columbus, the European powers. European powers 131 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: are starting to take these wonderful sailing ships, and they're 132 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: starting to cross the globe. They're looking for things. They're 133 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,599 Speaker 1: looking to claim new lands, they're looking to claim new resources. 134 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: One of those super powerful countries back then, which it's 135 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: funny to think about this now because they're not very powerful, 136 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: was Portugal. Portugal was big. Portugal starts bouncing around Africa. 137 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: They round the southern tip of Africa and they start 138 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: to move inland a little bit, and they find this 139 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: climate that is kind of wonderful. When you think of Africa, 140 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: you don't think about it that way, right. You probably 141 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: think about thick jungle. Maybe you're thinking about the Sahara, 142 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: these vast sands and things like that. Of course those 143 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: things exist, but remember Africa is huge. It stands to 144 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: reason there would be parts of it where the climate 145 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: is flat out pretty friggin nice. Portugal finds this climate, 146 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: try to take this climate in an African tribe. We 147 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: won't go into the details of that, fights a valiant 148 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: war and bounces the Portuguese. Portugal says, hey man, we're out. 149 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: Portugal leaves, but the knowledge is there that there is 150 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: kind of this little honey hole towards southern Africa not 151 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: too shabby from there. We will fast forward to the 152 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: late eighteen hundreds. Before we get to that, let's talk 153 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: about your identity. No, not your eyes and ears and 154 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: your name. I'm talking about the identity that has a 155 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: monetary value to thieves. Your phone number, your address, your 156 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: social security number. These things are out there online, and 157 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: if thieves are able to get hold of them, they 158 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: will steal your identity and wipe you out. They'll amp 159 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: to your bank account, destroy your credit, take loans out 160 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: in your name. Your life can become a nightmare like that. 161 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: Now I know you already know about identity theft, But 162 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: what's the company you can trust who's been doing it forever, 163 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: who has all these one wonderful reviews. What's the company 164 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: that's not a big scam artist, Meaning if you do 165 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: get taken to the cleaners, they'll actually make you whole again. 166 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: That would be LifeLock.

Now 187 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: pause before we get to the late eighteen hundreds, there 188 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: were a warlike people who started stomping the other African 189 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: tribes in southern Africa back in the day. If I 190 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: were to ask you to name one African tribal warlord, 191 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: you would probably be able to name zero or one. 192 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: And the one you would probably name would be who 193 00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:00,080 Speaker 1: do you know, Chris? Do you know Shaka Zulu? Shaka Zulu? Yeah, 194 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: you knew it. Most people know their name when you 195 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: say it. So what was Shaka Zulu's deal? Shakazulu was 196 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: this incredible warlike leader. He led the Zulus in Africa. 197 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: He revolutionized some things about combat back then. We won't 198 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: go into the details. It was their spears and the 199 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: Africans were used to throwing their spears. They can whatever. 200 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: Shakazulu revolutionized some warlike things, and as happens throughout history, 201 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: including today, the more powerful people will eventually begin conquering 202 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: the less powerful people around them. He starts beating up 203 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: on everyone. All right, Eventually he has somebody who breaks 204 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: off from him. He essentially has some one of his 205 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: general's rebel. The general rebels and heads north. All right, Now, 206 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: this is the first one of the details I'm going 207 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: to have to give you, And the only reason I'm 208 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: giving you this detail is it's going to come up later. 209 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: In fact, it's probably going to come up multiple times. 210 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: We're in the era of Shakazulu, and this is actually 211 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: going to be a thread that goes throughout the Rhodesian 212 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: Bush War. The people who break off are called the 213 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: Indo Belly. The Indo Belly, don't worry if you don't 214 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: remember the name, but that is the warlike tribe that 215 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: broke off from Shakazulu. They broke off, they went north. 216 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: In case you're wondering, Shakazulu pursued them, kind of broke 217 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: off the chase whatever. They went north. Well, remember I 218 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: already told you these people were incredibly warlike military advancements, 219 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: and they started slaughtering and subjugating all the other tribes 220 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: they came into contact with. I'm not dogging on them. 221 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: That's how life was then, and frankly, now we live 222 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: in a world of conquest and it was ugly, and 223 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: they ran across peaceful tribes and slaughtered them or made 224 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: them slaves. They the area that is now known as Zimbabwe, 225 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: and they discover exactly what I just talked to you 226 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: about earlier. Wow, it's a it's kind a nice here. 227 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: I think I'll stay. And because they were more powerful 228 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: than the other tribes, they moved in and set up shop. 229 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: Now for the only other tribe, I swear on my life, 230 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: I'm only going to give you two tribes because they're 231 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: the two main ones. I could bring other ones to you, 232 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: but it would only bore you and you would hate 233 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: your life. The Shona, the Shona, two tribes into belly 234 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: and Shona into Belly and Shona with me. This is 235 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: really going to matter for later on the Indo Belly 236 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: move in and they subjugate the Shona. The Shona become 237 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: the Indo Belly slaves, and it can be okay, slavery. Remember, 238 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: slavery can run the gamut throughout history. Sometimes slavery means, hey, 239 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: you don't get paid, but you're the math tutor for 240 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: my son. Here's a nice warm bed, go feed the 241 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: horses and teach my son algebra. And sometimes slavery can 242 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: be we'll work you to death in the salt mines. 243 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: You'll probably die six months from now. Right, it can 244 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: run the gamut. This also could run the gamut. Believe 245 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: me when I tell you the Shona people had no 246 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: rights whatsoever. You did never say in your government. They 247 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: were slaves in every way and in a lot of 248 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: ways they were pillaged. But they did come to some 249 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: sort of an existence where the Shona understood there were slaves. 250 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: The End of Belly were ruling Zimbabwe. I'm going to 251 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: continue to refer to this area as Zimbabwe until it 252 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: turns to Rhodesia. So just hang with me. Remember this 253 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: as a disclaimer, it was not Zimbabwe at the time. 254 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: There was nothing at this time nothing. There was no 255 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: nation of any kindness or just tribes. Let's fast forward 256 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: now to the eighteen hundreds to late eighteen hundreds. The 257 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: End of Belly are still ruling this area. Some guys 258 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: want to go hunt some game in this area controlled 259 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: by the Endobelly. Everyone in Africa knew by now the 260 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: Indobelly we're calling the shots there. These hunters didn't want 261 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: to be disrespectful and they didn't want to end up 262 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: on the business end of a spear. So they stopped 263 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: by the headquarters of the Indibelly king and they said, hey, 264 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: you've got a lot of animals we want to shoot here. 265 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: Can you mind if we give you a little this 266 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: little that, you know, they exchange some goods. If it's 267 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: okay with you, we're going to go hunt. The king 268 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: of the end of Beelly said, hey, thanks for the gifts. 269 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Yeah, go shoot some game. The guys 270 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: take off. They go have a good time hunting in Africa. 271 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: But they find something, and it's so funny how life works. 272 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: Sometimes one little discovery can lead to so many other things. 273 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:56,959 Speaker 1: The hunters keep running into tribal peoples and they're wearing gold, 274 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: not just one little gold thing, They're wearing a lot 275 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: of gold. The hunters go back, actually they go to 276 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: South Africa. South Africa's south of this and they start 277 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: talking to people about what they discovered and what their 278 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: plan was. Continue in a moment before we continue that, 279 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: would you like to have the heart of an adventurer 280 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: who wants to go hunt wild game in Africa while 281 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: while conversing with an African king who may burn you alive. 282 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: That's going to require testosterone, all right, you can't just 283 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: do that out of nowhere. And because our testosterone today's 284 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: are in free fall, you're probably going to be too 285 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: afraid of that African spear.

Back to our story. It's 317 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: the late eighteen hundreds. Some hunters just got back from 318 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: Zimbabwe and they found gold, and as the saying goes, 319 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: loose lips sink ships. Because the hunters got back from 320 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: Zimbabwe and they had done something very smart before they left. 321 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: They went to the king and they said, hey, we 322 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: kind of like this gold stuff you have going. Would 323 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: you mind if we come back and take some of that. 324 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: We're going to give you a cut. We're not trying 325 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: to do you wrong. We're going to give you a cut. 326 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: We'll bring you this, we'll bring you that. But is 327 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: it okay? It'll be really small if we come back 328 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: and get some of that gold. The king of the 329 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: end of Belly, the ruling tribe at the time, said yeah, sure, 330 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: knock yourself out. Go ahead. Okay, the hunters get back 331 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: to South Africa. Now I need to pause for a moment, 332 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: and I'm probably gonna end up doing this a couple times, 333 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: but I need to explain the geography of what we're 334 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: talking about because it's going to matter a lot. So 335 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: what I want you to do is I want you 336 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: to make a circle in your mind. Don't worry, you 337 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: don't have to write it down. You can if you 338 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: want a circle. This circle you just made is a clock, 339 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: all right, a clock. Now from about six o'clock to 340 00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: about eight o'clock that border is South Africa to the south, 341 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: kind of the southwest. From six o'clock all the way 342 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: to about twelve o'clock that is Mozambique. That is going 343 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: to be huge for the purposes of our story. But 344 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: I'll come back to it to worry about memorizing that now. 345 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: The other two countries are not as important. Just know 346 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: that north because it will come up. Is Zambia, all right, Zambia, Mozambique, 347 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: South Africa. The hunters go back to South Africa six 348 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: and eight o'clock. Okay. Instead of shutting their mouths about 349 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: the gold in the agreement they got, they start to talk. 350 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: And that was a really bad idea. Because there was 351 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: a man in South Africa who had an unbelievable amount 352 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: of money and power and humanted more of it. And 353 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: his name was Cecil Roads or Cecil Roads. All these 354 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: names are pronounced differently depending on what you're listening to 355 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: a reading. I'm gonna call him Cecil Roads because that 356 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: was the most common. Who was Cecil Roads? First, he 357 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: was a brit The Brits are going to play a 358 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: huge part. This is a British story, really a British story. 359 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: He was a major, major power player in Britain, super 360 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: wealthy guy. Now what's he doing over there? Well, this 361 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: is the late eighteen hundreds. Britain is aware that most 362 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: of their colonial age has probably passed it by, but 363 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: they haven't given up the game yet. They still want 364 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: to find other lands, far off lands to take over, 365 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: to mind, to find a place for their people to 366 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: you know, they're an empire that likes to expand. Britain 367 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: also had something else they did, and they did it 368 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: very very well, very successfully. Multiple times throughout their history. 369 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: They would almost allow their conquests to be privatized in 370 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: a way where you can go conquer this land, no, no, 371 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: take some British people, raise an army if you like. 372 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: In fact, we want you to, and you have our permission, 373 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: but we're not really officially doing it, you see, we're 374 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: washing our hands of it. If you would like to 375 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: go do something and it works out, we'll be there 376 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: to help out and of course take over in the end. 377 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: Cecil Roads he essentially steals this agreement from these hunters 378 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: and Cecil Roads decides he likes the idea of this 379 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: Zimbabwe place. He likes the climate. He thinks agriculture could 380 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: get big there. Mining is very clearly going to get 381 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: big there. By the way, Zimbabi ended up being really 382 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: big on things like chrome and stuff like that. But 383 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: Cecil Roads is one of these you'd call him a 384 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: billionaire type conquistador is a cent what he was so 385 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: Central Road or Cecil Roads does something. He goes to 386 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: the King of Zimbabwe, the exact same king the miners 387 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: had dealt with, and he, in a way, I guess, 388 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: rips him off. Maybe maybe not. Here's how the deal went. Hey, 389 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: you know how these hunters we're gonna mine a little 390 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: bit here. We're not we'd like to mine a lot here. 391 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: And I understand your concerns about this. King. I totally 392 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: get that it's your land. Wanna be clear it's your land. 393 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: Just to prove to you that it's your land, because 394 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna be bringing all these people through here. We'll 395 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: build you some roads. We're gonna have roads and stuff 396 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: like that. We're gonna give you some guns as well. 397 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: They didn't necessarily specify the age of the guns. But 398 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: these are people with shields and spears. Hey, King, I know, 399 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: you like to rule over the people around you. How 400 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: about some superior weaponry. They even promised him they would 401 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: bring him a a gun boat that went up the river. 402 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: They didn't end up delivering on the gunboat, but they 403 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: did bring some guns. The king call him naive be 404 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: Hindsights twenty twenty, says, you know what I like the 405 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: sounds of that. I want some roads, I want some guns. 406 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: Come on in. Cecil Roads raises what essentially amounts to 407 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: an entire civil society for this invasion. When I say 408 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: civil society, I mean there are troops, but there are 409 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: more than troops. There are doctors, there are lawyers, there 410 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: are miners. There's really every major aspect of the society 411 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: you can think of, if any society you can think of, 412 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: certainly a modern society. Cecil Roads raises these people from 413 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: South Africa, from Britain, they come from all other places. 414 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: But this is actually going to be an important part 415 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,959 Speaker 1: of the story as well. I find it fascinating. It's 416 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: almost like a like a weird society that was grown 417 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: in a lab. He wasn't grabbing the dregs of every society. 418 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: He wasn't emptying the prisons or grabbing this guy who 419 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: was down on his luck. He actually went to the 420 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: high class society, people established families, wealthy families, educated people, 421 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: and he said, hey, your son's a doctor, Come on down, Hey, 422 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: do you want a lot of farmland your daughter? He 423 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: took what essentially amounted to the cream of the crop 424 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: and invaded Zimbabwe with the permission of the king, with 425 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: all of these people, and he starts carving roads in 426 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: a Zimbabwe. He starts building armies. This is all done 427 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: with the permission of the British crown. And again it's 428 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: just cheaper and easier for the British Crown to say, hey, cecil, 429 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: have at it. You have our permission. We're not gonna bother. 430 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: We're not sending our people. You just go and they 431 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: this society, we'll call it five hundred people, because that's 432 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: roughly how many he came and with originally walk into 433 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: this country, totally foreign country. You have a king in 434 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 1: this tribe, and the king has a slave tribe that's 435 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: under him, and you have all this other stuff, and 436 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: they start hacking out a living in the middle of 437 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: this wild African land. It wasn't again known as Zimbabwe 438 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: at this time, but they would have one day be 439 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: known as Zimbabwe. Now there eventually began to be some 440 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: chafing with the relationships. We'll talk about some chafing next. 441 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse 442 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: Kelly Show on a fantastic, fantastic Tuesday. We are almost 443 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: to the end of our ore, our first hour on 444 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: the Rhodesian Bush where I know it's the second hour 445 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: of the show. I'm just gonna do ten more minutes 446 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: on this and then we'll return to the story tomorrow. 447 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: Remember if you miss any part of the show, iHeart 448 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: Spotify iTunes. All right, next hour, we have all kinds 449 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: of stuff to get to, the administrative state and layoffs 450 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: and Marjorie Taylor Green and emails and other things. But 451 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: back to our story here, all right. So these this 452 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: society of miners and troops and things like that under 453 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: Cecil roads. They go into Zimbabwe. They strike an agreement 454 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: with the king. This is the late eighteen hundreds. Remember 455 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: eighteen nineties. I already told you there are two different 456 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: African tribes here. There's more than two, but for the 457 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: sake of simplicity, there's two major ones, the Indo Belly, 458 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: the ruling tribe and the Shona, the less powerful tribe. 459 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: In eighteen ninety three, a tribal war breaks out. Now 460 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: I need to set something up before the tribal war 461 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: breaks out. I need to explain that in these early 462 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: years for the settlers or colonizers or whatever you want 463 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: to call them, for cecil Roads in the Crew, this 464 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: is not at all a pleasant time of plenty, not 465 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: at all. This is a completely uncivilized place as far 466 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: as civilization goes. For them, it's hard to get supplies in. 467 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: They are having to essentially carve out civilization from nothing, 468 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: and it's tough sledding, very very very tough. So these 469 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: are people, believe me, They're not sitting around being fanned 470 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: by African slaves. They are working their fingers to the bone. 471 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: There is disease, there is deprivation. It's very very hard. Now, 472 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: eighteen ninety three, these two tribes breakout in the war 473 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: I say a war, but as per usual, the Indibelli 474 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: were more powerful at the time. In the Endobelly start 475 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: to slaughter the Shona who had been their slaves, and 476 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: a different kind of a slaughter than the Europeans were 477 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: used to. I'm gonna refer to them as Europeans a lot, 478 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: because that's mainly the background of these people. They watched 479 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: children being burned alive by the Endabelly. The Endibelli were 480 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: given orders by their king, Hey, don't lay a finger 481 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: on the Europeans. Go ahead, slaughter the Shona, kill them all. 482 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: I don't care, but whatever you do, do not touch 483 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: the Europeans. He was very aware that he was in 484 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: a dangerous situation and should not offend the Europeans. But 485 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: remember that talk we had after Hamas invaded Israel on 486 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: October seventh, in what was a raid. Remember that talk 487 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: we had about how there's a way of doing things, 488 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: about how you're gonna have a hard time finding a 489 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: sympathetic ear. If you can't stop yourself from burning babies 490 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: in an oven when people come across that, you're gonna 491 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: ruin your reputation. Let's just say the ind of Belly 492 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: ruined their reputation. They were essentially spearing pregnant women five 493 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: feet away from Europeans. The Europeans are looking at this 494 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: and they cannot believe what they're seeing. Now, in defense, 495 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm about to say this. In defense 496 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: of the Endobelly who were doing the spearing and burning. 497 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: That's how it had always been in Africa with these 498 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: tribal wars. That's how tribal wars had all looked. That's 499 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: how they'd always sounded. It was always slaughter, it was 500 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: always horrible. They were doing what they had always done. 501 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: But the Europeans certainly were not used to that way 502 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: of living, and they certainly had not been introduced to it. 503 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: Right in front of them, they are freaking mortified. The 504 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: Europeans are mortified, and they decide, Okay, I can see 505 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to square things away here. The Europeans 506 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: have had enough of this, and they arm the army. 507 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: I know the end of Belly have some guns already, 508 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: but they didn't have something called the Maxim gun. The 509 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,959 Speaker 1: Maxim gun is one of the first known machine guns 510 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: that was ever employed. And that war went about like 511 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: you would expect. The Europeans step in and say, you 512 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: guys are freaking savages and this is no longer your area. 513 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: We are not going to handle that. We are not 514 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: going to allow this. You're going to die. The Indobelly 515 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: fight a war against the Europeans, and it went about 516 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: like you would expect. Yes, the Europeans lost a patrol. 517 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: They got two cocky. This twenty man patrol went out 518 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: and got surrounded by a thousand indibelly and got slaughtered 519 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,479 Speaker 1: and it was ugly thing. But for the most part, 520 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: the Europeans just absolutely mopped the floor with the Indo belly, 521 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: wipe them out. Gone, and in their minds because of 522 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: the slaughter they had witnessed before, they felt like they 523 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: had every justification now to do what they'd always wanted, 524 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 1: and let's be honest, it's what they always wanted. Create 525 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: a new colony, a new country. They were already colonizing it. 526 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: But that gave them everything they needed to say, we 527 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: are in charge now. King, you're no longer the king. 528 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: You don't rule anything here. Europeans, we now own this country. 529 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: But this is a very very big country, a very 530 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: very big country. At one point in our story, when 531 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: this unchartered land becomes Rhodesia, and it's about to become 532 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: Rhodesia tomorrow, they're going to have a two thousand mile border. 533 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: Two thousand miles. Don't think of this place as some 534 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: tiny little place. It is a place that is gigantic 535 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 1: with mountains, and rivers in thick woods, and it's a huge, 536 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: huge place. There aren't that many of them. How do 537 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: you start a country from what amounts to essentially nothing. 538 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: You've got teachers, you've got doctors, you got miners, you 539 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: got things like that. But you have to start the 540 00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: process of a whole new country. And that process begins tomorrow, 541 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: and it'll be bloody too before we get to that. 542 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: Life would have been so much easier.
