Maybe you're a smoker, or someone else was 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: just living create smells.

You are you're standing with God before 21 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: he makes you? You actually get some time with him 22 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: ahead of time, and some weird, weird teleporting thing or something, 23 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: and your soul sitting up there with God, and God 24 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: presents something to you, and God says, well, what do 25 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: you think about this life? I'll give you some options here. 26 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: You can have a life where your mother will die 27 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: when you're an infant. Your father will run out on 28 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: you when you're so young you won't see him again 29 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: till you're fifteen years old. You will have deadly diseases, 30 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: many of them almost will kill you. At some point 31 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: in time. You will be held captive by a tyrant. 32 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: When you want to go home, he won't let you. 33 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: You'll go on a long voyage on ships. You'll barely survive. 34 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: Most of the people who came with you will not. 35 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: You will go off to war and be captured as 36 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: a prisoner of war. Would you say to God, oh, yeah, 37 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: sign me up. Or would you say to God, God, Ah, 38 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: look obviously, maker of heaven and earth. I'll do whatever 39 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: you tell me to do. Is there any chance I 40 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: could get a different life? Because that doesn't sound that 41 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: actually doesn't sound great, And I'm dead serious. What would 42 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: you tell him if you had to be honest, because 43 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: he knows when you're lying. Anyway, would you ask for 44 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: a new life or would you say, oh yeah, that's awesome. 45 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: Marco Polo. Marco Polo is an interesting little tale. Not 46 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: going to spend forever on it today, but it's time 47 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: to tell the little tale of Marco Polo.

I save everything I don't get 59 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: to in your top priority for next week. Or you 60 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: can call eight seven seven three seven seven four three 61 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: seven three eight seven seven three seven seven four three 62 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:58,119 Speaker 1: seven three. Marco Polo born as a Venetian merchant's son, 63 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,559 Speaker 1: and as I I want to do. Let's pause there 64 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: already for a moment. When you think of Venice right 65 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: off the bat, I know what you think of, because 66 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: you're human, and it's the same thing I think of 67 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: and everyone else. You think of the little canals, what 68 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: the Italian dude at the front of the weird looking 69 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: boat paddling some loving young couple who's making out in 70 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: the back on their way to eat some pasta. That's 71 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: what you think of when you think of Venice. Old buildings, canals, 72 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: a romantic boat journey. I've heard it stinks, by the way. 73 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: I've never been there, but I can imagine a place 74 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: that old and in the water, I can imagine the 75 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: smell is good. But either way I mean stinks as 76 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: in physically smells. But either way you need to kind 77 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,679 Speaker 1: of set that thinking aside for this period of time. 78 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: We are in the twelve hundreds at this point in time, 79 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: and if you're thinking to yourself, oh, Jesse, I know 80 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: some other stuff that was going on, then then I'm 81 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: glad you listen to the show. Yes, the twelve hundreds 82 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: were the time of the Great Mongol conquests, and we 83 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: will get to that in a moment. But back to Venice. 84 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: Venice is and again, you know, I love doing this. 85 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: It doesn't hurt from time to time to have some 86 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: kind of visual Go ahead to your little Google maps 87 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: and pull up Venice. Now. Venice was extremely important in 88 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: the old days, probably still extremely important today, but very 89 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: very important, very powerful in the old days. Are you 90 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: looking at your map, do you see where it is? 91 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: Do you have some idea why this would be a 92 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: very important place port city, gateway to Europe. If you're 93 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: not looking at a map, if you're driving around, just 94 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: know it's the northeast corner of Italy, right up off 95 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: the Adriatic Sea, right up there by modern day Slovenia, Croatia, 96 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: you head north right into Austria, up to Munich. It 97 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: would be a gateway from the water to the land 98 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: to Italy. And they were essentially a city state at 99 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: this point, so don't think of it as some Italian city. 100 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: It's a city state and very very powerful. And part 101 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: of the reason, the part of what made Venice so 102 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: powerful was they had brilliant traders and merchants there, which 103 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: is probably look, the trade probably came first and then 104 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: the brilliance, but they had merchants all over Venice who 105 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: could get you things, whether you were a king, a 106 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: rich man, a city, from all over the world. We've 107 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: talked about this extensively. We always will because of how 108 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: much it affects world history. Oh you want some black pepper? 109 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: You tried that once on your little fettuccini and enjoyed it. 110 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: Just so happens I have a line on some black 111 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: pepper out of the Indian Ocean. Would you like me 112 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: to get you some? There'll be quite a charge for that. 113 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: The Venetian merchants were excellent at this, and Marco Polo 114 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: his father's name was Niccolo. Yes, Marco's mother died when 115 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: he was young. But I don't know how you should 116 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: think of Niccolo, except for he was probably almost undoubtedly 117 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: a greater explorer himself than Marco. But they didn't write 118 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: a book about him. One and two. He may or 119 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: may not be the deadbeat father. We do know this. 120 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: Marco did not meet his father till later. We'll get 121 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: to that in a moment. Marco's father left allegedly when 122 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: his mother was pregnant with him. What we don't know 123 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: is whether Niccolo knew she was pregnant or not when 124 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: he took off. We don't know it. It's just lost 125 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: to the historical record. But as father Nicolo takes off 126 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: as a Venetian merchant, a well off Venetian merchant. And 127 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: the thing is about the merchants. Merchant life could be 128 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: whatever you made it, but oftentimes very similar to today. 129 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: It's the guys willing to do the uncomfortable things who 130 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: really made it big. Could you make it okay as 131 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: a Venetian merchant if you never left Venice, keup of 132 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: wine in the morning after my Italian coffee, make sure 133 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: you hire the right guy here, the right shipping company there. Yeah, 134 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: you could probably make it. Could you make it really 135 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: big if you personally took dangerous trips to the east 136 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: and made new personal contacts and found new people to 137 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: sell you new things. Oh yeah, And that was the 138 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: Polo life. That was the life of the Polo family. 139 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: These were not settled down people, at least not Niccolo 140 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: or his brother. They were travelers and traveling. I don't 141 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: want you to think of it like travel today. I 142 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: realized life is always dangerous, but you're probably thinking about 143 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: them like traveling businessmen. Now, no, no, it's not airplane peanuts. 144 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: For these guys, life got dangerous. Hang on, you're listening 145 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: to the Jesse Kelly Show. You're welcome. You need a 146 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: gold Ira.

Jesse Kelly backs in. 161 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: If you're going to be the traveling merchant, you want 162 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: to be the guy who makes it big, makes new contacts, 163 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: finds new products, new new routes. All that's fine, But 164 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: again you have to put yourself in the mind frame 165 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: of back in the day, of what the world was 166 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: like battack in the day, still settling itself. You're not 167 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: having a hard life as in long waits at the airport, 168 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: time away from your family and eating too much takeout food. 169 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: Your life is avoiding robbers, avoid eating, wars, changes of power, 170 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: ships going down at sea, disease travel came with risk 171 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: back at this time. Nicolo Polo, Marco's father, finds himself 172 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: in Constantinople at a time when, surprise, surprise, Constantinople gets 173 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: taken over and Nicolo Polo is obviously a Venetian. Well, 174 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: the new guy who takes over Constantinople does not care 175 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: for Venetians very much. And when I say doesn't care 176 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: for them, I don't mean finds them and kills them, 177 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: or finds them and he gives them a fine. He 178 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: finds them and puts their eyes out, real hatred. Nicolo 179 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: Polo has to leave the scene. Now we're gonna pause 180 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: with the Polos for a moment, allow us to go 181 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: to the Mongo Empire. This is post Genghis Khan time, 182 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: but not that post Genghis Khan time. The guy running 183 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: things at this point in time. His name is Kublai 184 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: Kublai Khan. Remember that name forever. It's just one of those. 185 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: He's hugely important and powerful in history. Kublai Khan, he's 186 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: running the show. He's Genghis Khan's grandson. So again, we 187 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: are not far removed from Genghis Khan, not time wise. Anyway, 188 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: you have to think differently about where the Mongols sit 189 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: now at the time of Marco Polo than you do 190 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: about all the other Mongol shows. We've done Mongol movies, 191 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: You've watched Mongol podcast, you've listened to Remember the Great 192 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: Dan Carlin has the best Mongol podcast ever. If you 193 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: have about ninety hours, I seriously think I don't remember. 194 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: I think it's about six or seven parts and they're 195 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: all two or three hours apiece. But it is awesome, 196 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: highly recommended if Mongol stuff fascinates you. But we are 197 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: past the Genghis Khan living on the Asian step in 198 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: the cold and the desert and living a harsh life. 199 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: The Mongols are Mongols are just this rag tag band 200 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: of brutes eating the raw guts of animals. I mean, 201 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: they still do that. To some extent. But you see, 202 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: here's the thing, because we have a different way of 203 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: looking at the world now. I won't call it superior. 204 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: In some ways I view it superior. In some ways 205 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: I view it naive. But we have this way of 206 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: viewing the world now where if I say the word 207 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: conqueror to you, do you picture that person as being 208 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: the good guy or the bad guy? How do you 209 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: instinctively picture that person? And even if you don't say 210 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: outright bad guy, does anyone say good guy? Conqueror conquest? 211 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: In our modern sensibilities here in America twenty twenty. Frankly, 212 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: in the world, these are viewed as evil, dark, bloody, 213 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: violent things. And let me be clear about something I 214 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: don't know about evil, But conquest is dark, bloody and 215 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: violence while it's happening. Once it's done, once conquest is complete, 216 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: it's weird how often and it's followed by peace, massive prosperity, 217 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: generational wealth, food, water, shelter. I'm not going to defend 218 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: all the conquerors out there. I'm not even going to 219 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: defend Genghis Khan today. But let me ask you, we 220 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: all live in different times, right, We're all given different 221 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: periods of history to live in. Would you be willing 222 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: to do terrible things in your period of time you've 223 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: been given? Okay, mostly you're gonna say no, Well, let 224 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: me add a little qualifier to that. Would you be 225 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: willing to do terrible things in the time you've been 226 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: given if it meant the next three or four generations 227 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: of your family of your country get to live great lives, comfortable, peaceful, food, water, shelter, 228 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: money kind of changes, it doesn't it. You See, we 229 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: talk all the time, everybody, I'll talk endlessly about Genghis 230 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: Khan and the Mongolian conquests and the slaughter. And you 231 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: can't minimize that quantity of slaughter, Mountains of skulls, it was, 232 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: it's middy, it's up. It's Lord of the Ring's mortar 233 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: stuff with Genghis Khan. But at this point in time, 234 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: you know what's going on in the Mongolian Empire, and 235 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 1: really the gigantic Mongolian Empire. No crime, and I mean 236 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: virtually no crime. We are talking a vast area that 237 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: was famous for robbery and murder and the worst things 238 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: in the world. Oh that didn't happen under Mongolian ruled 239 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,479 Speaker 1: jack That's a good way to get you and your 240 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: whole family's head cut off. You keep your hands to yourself. 241 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: And the Mongolian Empire, oh, it went way beyond no crime. Food, 242 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: all the food anybody could want, fresh water, shelter, They 243 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: had money. Now that's warm clothes in the winter. They 244 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: had healthcare, outstanding, cutting edge healthcare for their time, and 245 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: I mean pretty much everybody. Did you see at the 246 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: back end of that evil, dirty conquer things work out 247 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: pretty well sometimes. Now, I don't want to act like 248 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: the Mongolian Empire by now under Kublai Khan was peaceful. 249 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: They were always finding new lands to conquer and things 250 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: would sprout up in this area or that area. Disease. 251 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: Were not peaceful. Y'ah a just a bunch of sheep farmers. 252 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: Now no, there's still the Mongols. But the Mongolian Empire 253 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: by now is rich, filthy, stink and rich. Kublai Khan 254 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: is not living like Genghis Khan grew up in a 255 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: hut that can be broken down instantly and thrown on 256 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: a horse on the Asian step. Kublai Khan has palaces, 257 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: plural slaves, harems, gold, horses, whatever a man could want. 258 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: He's now residing in various cities in China, the most 259 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: beautiful built up cities in the world. At this point 260 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: in time, the Mongolian Empire is now an empire that 261 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: is acknowledged by anybody. Remember Genghis Khan. How many times 262 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: have we talked about his various conquests. Then we'll talk 263 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: about them again. Don't worry if you missed them. But 264 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: so often Genghis Khan would run up against somebody like 265 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: the Charismian Shaw or some European Nights, or some knights 266 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: in Russia, and they would act like, well, who are 267 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: these dirtball upstarts from the Asian stif. I've never the Mongols, 268 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: I've never even heard of the Mongols. What a scumbag 269 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: these guys suck? And then the Mongols will just slaughter everybody. 270 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: We're way past that. Now the world knows these guys 271 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: are horrifying, and they know they're an empire. The Pope 272 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: is sending envoys back and forth to the Mongolian Empire. 273 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: Mongols are established. Now all right, back to Marco, I am, 274 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: do you need an auto protection plan? It's just one 275 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: of those things you have to have. Now I'll be honest, 276 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: I don't drive a fancy vehicle. I know you're not 277 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: going to be surprised by that. But it's a decent 278 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: pickup truck a few years old. I have more advanced 279 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: computer equipment in that truck than I personally use the 280 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: rest of the week. When it breaks, well, put it 281 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: to you this way. Last time I had a little 282 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: problem with the electrical equipment of my steering wheel. It 283 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: costs me six hundred dollars. You have to have an 284 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: auto protection plan. So if you get If you have 285 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: to have one, why not go with America's number one 286 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: auto protection company. Go to Carshield dot com and start 287 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: browsing their plans. They have a wide range of them. 288 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: Do not forget to use the promo code Jesse when 289 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: you do that, because that gets you ten percent off 290 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: carshield dot Com promo code Jesse. Go get an auto 291 00:22:48,760 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: protection plan, A deductible may apply. So that's the Polos 292 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: and that's the Mongols. Now it's time for them to meet. 293 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: Niccolo Polo goes back to Venis should be noted Niccolo 294 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: Polo has his brother with him this whole time, Marco's uncle. 295 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: I could have mentioned him, but gosh, you know, I 296 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: don't like to drown things out and make him complicated, 297 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: but just know it's the three of them. I do 298 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: wonder what it was like for Marco meeting his father 299 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: for the first time at fifteen, and I wish I 300 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: had more. As far as I don't know this human 301 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: interest stuff, it interests me. Did they have any kind 302 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: of a relationship before them? Did Dad find out about 303 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: Marco and write him a letter every day, can't wait 304 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: to meet your son? Did his father not care? Whatever 305 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: the case may be, They link up and Marco apparently 306 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: gets right in. Dad welcome. That's that's what leads me 307 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: to believe there was some kind of a relationship over 308 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: mail before this. But Marco gets right in. And Marco 309 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: is famous for being charming. He's brave, he's an adventurer, 310 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: and he's very charming. He also, I want to clarify, 311 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: just because mom is dead and Dad is gone, trying 312 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: to knock get his eyes carved out, Marco's not living 313 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: as a beggar orphan on a street corner with rags 314 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: for clothes. Again, this is a well off Venetian merchant. 315 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: Family relatives took in Marco. He was not only really 316 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: well fed, he was well educated. Supposedly he was phenomenal 317 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: with languages. Just one of these people that can pick 318 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 1: them up quickly. And these people fascinate me. I won't lie. 319 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: It's one of those skill sets. I know. I'm probably 320 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: the most talented person you've ever known, but it's one 321 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: of those skill sets I wish I had. I find 322 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: these people fascinating. They can hear a language and just 323 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: immerse themselves in it and pick it up. My mind 324 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: does not work that way at all. I'm all, oblah, 325 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: what case? So I don't under what. It's terrible. I'm 326 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: so bad at languages that if I ever try to 327 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: start saying them, people think I'm making fun of them, 328 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: when actually I'm actually trying. So I just don't bother anymore. 329 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: They take off, the whole Polo family. They take off, 330 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: and they are heading towards China to see Kubla Khan. 331 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: Now when I say take off, I understand that you 332 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: know they're not in a Volkswagen. This is not a 333 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: road trip stopping off for a Reese's Peanut Better Cup 334 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: at the seven to eleven on the way. This is 335 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: obviously a long journey, a perilous journey, and you travel 336 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: different ways when you're crossing over, but for the most 337 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: part they're taking what's known as the Silk Road. You 338 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: have probably heard of the Silk Road, if not just no, 339 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: it was definitely not a road. It was a bunch 340 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: of roads going from the far far East into Europe 341 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: because trade is inevitable. It was the trade roads to 342 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: and from Europe. That's what the Silk Road was. And 343 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: again back to that is conqueror an evil word. The 344 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: Silk Road. Once you hit the Mongol territory was real, 345 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: real safe at this point in time. Didn't used to be. 346 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: But boy turns out those gangs of robbers have moved 347 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: on now that the Mongols have taken over. Oh they're 348 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: great now. This trip takes him all through Persia, takes 349 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: him through Afghanistan. This is where he acquires a deadly disease, 350 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: has to stay in one area for a year. When 351 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,479 Speaker 1: I said they're not in the Volkswagen, this is what 352 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: I mean. It took them four years to get from 353 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: Venice over to China where they're heading for years. What 354 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: Chris is raising his hand up, I understand, and I 355 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: always find this fascinating, So I actually do find the 356 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: times and amounts of times fascinating, the different pace of life. 357 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: Let's go over this from the most basic possible way 358 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 1: we can. Okay, we are going to go to China 359 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: from Venice. All right, First of all, we need maps. 360 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: There's no Google, we don't have Expedia. We need maps. 361 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,479 Speaker 1: Which is the route we're going to take. We also 362 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: need news from the various places and the routes were 363 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: going to take. Because what we don't know, because again 364 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: there's no news channels. We don't know. Maybe somebody has 365 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: a plague at this point in time, plague very common. 366 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: Maybe somebody is in the middle of a war. You know, 367 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: wars don't just pop up and you find out in 368 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: five seconds from Twitter. You have to figure out the 369 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: route you're taking, what's happening along the route you're taking. 370 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: You have to store up supplies to get you from 371 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: waypoint to waypoint. Remember you can't pack for an entire 372 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: four year journey, but you have to pack for this, 373 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: pack for that. Think about the money situation. Remember, this 374 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: trip is not all that safe until you hit Mongolian territory, 375 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: and even then it's not totally safe from the Mongols themselves. 376 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: These are not mongols traveling over there. You're not gonna 377 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: have some robber get you. But if the mom those 378 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: look at you and decide they want what you have, 379 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: there's precious little you can do about it. Where are 380 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: you going for your supplies? How long? How long do 381 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: you have before you have to resupply? Where are you 382 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: going to resupply? And you take off on these journeys, 383 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: you get to a particular town, Think about the other 384 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: extended things that take a long time. Remember Marco got 385 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: sick for a year. Okay, Marco's very sick. Marco can't travel. 386 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: Where are you going to stay? Sounds small, right, but 387 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: where you get okay? So now you probably have to 388 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: rent a house or an apartment or a hotel. That 389 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: costs money. You're gonna have to trade goods while you're there. 390 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: You're going to have to resupply water. Maybe you have 391 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: horses that have gotten sick, camels you need brutal Right, 392 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: These trips take time a long long time, And finally 393 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: they get to the Gobi Desert. They cross the Gobi 394 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: Desert very carefully, and they get to Xanadu. Xanadu starts 395 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: with an X. By the way, x A n a 396 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: du and this is where the great Kublai Khan, this 397 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: is where he has his summer palace. Ublai Khan has 398 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: a summer palace here, and he takes in Marco Polo 399 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: and Niccolo Polo and their uncle. And this is one 400 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: of those harrowing parts of the trip because Kublai Khan 401 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: is the very definition of all powerful. We talked throughout, 402 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: you know, all of our history talks about this king 403 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: and this dictator and this monarch and this guy. But 404 00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: so often you see this in British history so often. 405 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: Yes there's a king, Yes he's very powerful. There are 406 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: many nobles hugely powerful, even Ivan the Terrible, Remember Ivan 407 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: the Terrible. Maybe we'll do another show on him one 408 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: of these days. Ivan the Terrible, who is he always 409 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: blowing up and killing and stabbing and torturing other nobles 410 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: who would try to take his power away? That they 411 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: were There was always this power struggle of this powerful 412 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: family and that powerful family undermining the king doing that. 413 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: This is not the Mongol situation. Kublai Khan is god 414 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: king as far as they're concerned. Over there, and you 415 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: walk in front of Kublai Khan, no matter who you are, 416 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: picture this level of power. No matter who you are, 417 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: you walk in front of Kublai Khan and he decides 418 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: he does not enjoy that you exist on this planet. 419 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: You die right then and there. And when I say 420 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: no matter who you are, I'm not talking about Venetian 421 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: merchant mar Marco Polo, some slave somewhere. I mean you're 422 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: the king of anywhere. And you walk in front of 423 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: Kublai Khan and displease him, he will take your head 424 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: off because he's the head of the Mongolian Empire and 425 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: no army on earth is strong enough to take them on. 426 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: What are you gonna do about it? Yeah, I killed 427 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: your king. Shut up and go back to your throw 428 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: im Oh God anat him.

Text and complain that they're on their phone. 436 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: The whole time text and listen to them complain that 437 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: you're on your phone the whole time, text and whatever. 438 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: But when you get behind the wheel, give your phone 439 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: to a passenger, put it in the glove box. Just 440 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: don't text and drive. Visit stop texts, stoprex dot org 441 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: a public service announcement brought to you by the National 442 00:33:51,280 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 1: Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the AD Council. You stand 443 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 1: in front of Kobly Cohn. You do whatever Kublake Cohn wants, 444 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: and if that means dying, that means dying. I should 445 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: also note this is a good good time to note 446 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: if you're one of the few people who hasn't canceled Netflix, 447 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: I see you out there. You said you did, but 448 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,720 Speaker 1: I see you. I know you didn't. If you didn't 449 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: cancel Netflix. There is a pretty fascinating series. I thought 450 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: it was only two seasons. People hated it. I thought 451 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 1: it was pretty good. But I'm a history dork, so 452 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: I don't watch these things like other people watch them. 453 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,879 Speaker 1: Called Marco Polo, and it's about Marco and Kubla. It's 454 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: maybe the most most historically inaccurate thing I've ever watched 455 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: in my entire life. However, again, I don't expect you 456 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: to nerd out like this. I understand I have problems. 457 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: I enjoy watching stuff like that. I want to see 458 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: what the military uniforms were like, I want to see 459 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: the food they ate, I want to know what the 460 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: territory was like, what do the mountains look like? But 461 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: that's part of the reason I enjoy that stuff. I 462 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: should also note quick programming note here, I don't know 463 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: if it's on Netflix. I thought it was on Netflix. 464 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: But this is not, and I can't say this strongly enough, 465 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 1: not an episode for the kids. This is not a 466 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: show you watch with your kids, unless unless you were 467 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: trying to mess them up for life. Well son, it's 468 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,399 Speaker 1: funny you should ask that question. Come on, let's watch 469 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,359 Speaker 1: Marco Polo. It'll tell you all you need to know. 470 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: Not a show for the children, all right, they get 471 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: there in Kublai. I mean you can say, Luckily kind 472 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: of kind of not Luckily takes a liking to Marco 473 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: Polo a lot. Remember, this dude is charming. He's like 474 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: twenty one years old at this point in time. The 475 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: dude is charming. Kublai Cohn takes Marco Polo into his court. 476 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: He's all of a sudden a Mongol official, and I 477 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: mean he's going around collecting taxes from people, and Marco 478 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: Polo is exploring. He's letting him explore. And not only 479 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: does he get to explore, He's now part of Kublai 480 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 1: Khan's court. So as he's exploring places like India and Tibet, 481 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: in Burma, in China, and he's going all over these places, 482 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,760 Speaker 1: he's exploring them and he can get whatever he wants 483 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: wherever he wants because of he's part of Kublai Khan's court. 484 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: How great it is that? I mean, honestly, what a 485 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: fascinating light. You pull into town.

I'm going down there too. 492 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: Would be kind of cool, right again, remember that all 493 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: powerful Kublai Cohn there weren't many complaints set up the 494 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 1: chain around that. But the funny part of this is 495 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: this doesn't last a year, couple months, couple of years. 496 00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: Kublai Cohn, he's a Mongol. He's a Mongol Khan. He 497 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: gets what he wants when he wants it. He likes 498 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:13,720 Speaker 1: Marco Polo so much he won't allow him to leave. 499 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,879 Speaker 1: He's not in prison, he's living a great life part 500 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: of the Khan's court. I don't know. It doesn't say 501 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: anything about him taking a wife over there. Who knows 502 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: if he enjoyed himself as a twenty one year old 503 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 1: man with the old Kublai Khan stamp, but doesn't. I'm 504 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: assuming he had a girlfriend at this point in time, Broab, 505 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: until she started nagging him. Wait, Chris, we can make jokes, 506 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: but he gets kept there for twenty four years. By now, 507 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: Chris just about fell out of his chair. Twenty four years. 508 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 1: Kubla Khan is keeping him there, and I think would 509 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: have kept him there longer. But by this point, Kublai 510 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: Khan is in his eighties and he's dying. Is this 511 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: not in great health? And he asked to send someone 512 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: off to get married to somebody else, you know in 513 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: Persia and Marco Polo, who had asked repeatedly, can I 514 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: go home? I love it here, thanks, I love you, 515 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: big fan. I want to go to Venice and goobla 516 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: the whole times. All ah, no, no, actually, now you 517 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: can have another palace or something, but you're you're not going. 518 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: I actually don't know if he gave him a palace, 519 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 1: but he lived very well. Kublai agrees, Yes, go ahead 520 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: and escort these people on this huge way. I believe 521 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: it was a fourteen ship mission. Escort these people go 522 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: along as kind of one of my dudes, go along 523 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: with them, drop them off in Persia, and then you 524 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,800 Speaker 1: can go home for Venice. You have a great life, 525 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: enjoy yourself. They take off. As you can imagine, this 526 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: is not exactly a raggedy shipping here. The kind of 527 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,720 Speaker 1: ship's Kublcom would have had set up, the kind of crew, 528 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:11,879 Speaker 1: the kind of security. It was extensive, but money ain't 529 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: no guarantee. One in three adults has pre diabetes. One 530 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,760 Speaker 1: in three.

You see. It was 547 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:10,760 Speaker 1: just so dangerous in the ocean back there. Almost everybody, 548 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 1: except for Marco and the people they're escorting and a 549 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: few others, almost everybody on this mission dies. It's been 550 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: quite a life for Marco Polo. I mean I'd picture 551 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,760 Speaker 1: the life already. The guy has lived. What a life 552 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: for Marco Polo but hey, look, everybody deserves after a 553 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 1: life like that, Mom, Dad, Dad abandons, Your dad comes 554 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: back almost dying from disease, travel then held captive, but 555 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: held pretty nice by a tyrant over there. Everybody deserves 556 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,919 Speaker 1: to settle down, right at some point in time, get 557 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: back home, settle down, have a little spaghetti or whatever 558 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: they eat in finnis right. That didn't work out. Hang 559 00:42:57,880 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: on the Jesse Kelly Show. This is the Jesse Kelly Show. Marco, 560 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: after twenty four years, gets back to Venice. Finally I'm home, 561 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: and Vennis goes to war. Genoa was another very powerful, 562 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 1: basically city state at the time, always in little squabbles 563 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 1: with Venice. They go to war with Venice. Marco signs up. 564 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 1: This dude is just all about that life. He's like, well, 565 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm in where are we fighting? Marco gets captured, gets 566 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: held as a prisoner of war. This is actually when 567 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: the famous accounting of his life was written. He was 568 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 1: imprisoned with an author and recounted his tales to the author. 569 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 1: Finally gets out of prison. He's in his forties at 570 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:05,880 Speaker 1: this point in time. He does get married, he has kids, 571 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 1: He lives through multiple other just minor events but eventually 572 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: dies a very very famous man peacefully in his bed 573 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:25,759 Speaker 1: from some illness. One day, I asked you in the 574 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:30,400 Speaker 1: very beginning of the show, if you would have wanted 575 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 1: that life. I laid out the things he went through 576 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: in his life, and I asked you if you you know, 577 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 1: if you wanted them? What did you think? Then? What 578 00:45:51,080 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 1: did you think? Then? Did you want it? Did you 579 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: think about it? I'll tell you, Look, I struggle with 580 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:15,359 Speaker 1: this stuff. I struggle with it. I struggle with it. 581 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,240 Speaker 1: Not for myself, you know, I've always chosen a life 582 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,120 Speaker 1: of adventure. I take big risks, I do these things. 583 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 1: I struggle with it. Now with my sons, what do 584 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,839 Speaker 1: I want for them? Maybe I should have revised it 585 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,879 Speaker 1: at the beginning. You're able to talk to God and 586 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 1: choose the life for your children. I know what you're 587 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: going through right now. We're about to get to all 588 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: the fun asked doctor Jesse questions, and yes, I'm going 589 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 1: to answer the political ones too. I know what you're 590 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: going through because I'm going through it too. You're glued 591 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,400 Speaker 1: to the news, You're glued to social media. You have 592 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 1: felt You've gone from feeling really good on election night 593 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:07,120 Speaker 1: to a steady stream of bad news and bad information, 594 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,839 Speaker 1: losing ground every step of the way. And you woke 595 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 1: up this morning as I did, and we've even lost Georgia. 596 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 1: By the time I went to bed last night, Georgia 597 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 1: vote Trump was only up fifteen hundred votes. I wake 598 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,960 Speaker 1: up this morning, the wife was up before him, and 599 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:28,840 Speaker 1: she's like, you knew what we already lost Georgia. I 600 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 1: know you're stressed and anxious, and I also know this, 601 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,919 Speaker 1: and this sucks because I can't give you this right now. 602 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,719 Speaker 1: I know you're listening in part to me because you 603 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 1: want me to tell you that this election is going 604 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:52,760 Speaker 1: to be okay. I can't tell you that. I can't. 605 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 1: I can't tell you it's been on the up and up. 606 00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 1: I can't. I can tell you this. There have been 607 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:11,280 Speaker 1: several dirty things that have gone on in this election. However, 608 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 1: everything you've seen online about the dirty things is not true. 609 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:19,719 Speaker 1: Be careful to what degree there have been dirty things. 610 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 1: I don't know yet, and you don't know yet. I 611 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:31,359 Speaker 1: know this as well. Trump's campaign was prepared for this, 612 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 1: lawyered up and this is now going to the courts. 613 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to help you out here. Do not think 614 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 1: for a second. You're going to wake up tomorrow, the 615 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 1: next day, the next day after that, or next week 616 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 1: and have an absolutely solid answer on who the next 617 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 1: president of the United States is going to be. Although 618 00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:57,719 Speaker 1: undoubtedly they're all about to declare Biden the president. He's 619 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,320 Speaker 1: going to give a speech as if he's been declared president, 620 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:04,920 Speaker 1: and he's going to start his transition team. No, that 621 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,319 Speaker 1: stuff's going to happen. Don't let that get to you. 622 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 1: I know it's going to get to you, though. It's 623 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 1: going to get to me. This is going to the 624 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 1: courts now. There are challenges all over the place. The 625 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 1: Nevada GOP already found thirty five hundred fraudulent ballots that 626 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 1: were people who'd moved out of the state. They'd moved 627 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:28,920 Speaker 1: out of the state and they got there Nevada ballots 628 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 1: and voted anyway and then voted in their other states too. 629 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 1: And they say there's tons more. So there's so much 630 00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,319 Speaker 1: of this we have to work out. Are we going 631 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 1: to work it all out and find the truth out 632 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: about everything? And things are going to reverse and Trump's 633 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,799 Speaker 1: going to be president. Don't get your hopes up about that. 634 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:51,120 Speaker 1: We're going to fight tooth and nail. We're going to try. 635 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:57,280 Speaker 1: We are, I don't know that we're going to succeed. 636 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:03,759 Speaker 1: And understand, the people who do this stuff, they're very, very, 637 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 1: very good at it. You know. One of the things 638 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 1: that happened in Nevada. I was talking to one of 639 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,120 Speaker 1: my friends, Tom del Bacaro on my TV show last night. 640 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,239 Speaker 1: One of the things that happened in Nevada, you have 641 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:17,640 Speaker 1: to understand is they have these vote by mail ballots, 642 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,800 Speaker 1: and they were supposed to be separated from the election 643 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,640 Speaker 1: day ballots so people could specifically keep an eye on 644 00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,880 Speaker 1: the vote by mail ballots. We'll go into that here 645 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 1: in a minute about why those are so dangerous. Nevada 646 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,399 Speaker 1: took all the vote by mail ballots and just mix 647 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,880 Speaker 1: them all in with the other ballots. And what happens 648 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 1: when people do stuff like that, They just get to 649 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,759 Speaker 1: claim accident. Oh whoops, sorry we forgot but now there's 650 00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:51,360 Speaker 1: no way to separate.
