1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: You know your house smells, don't get mad. Don't get mad.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: My house smells too. I'm not I'm not indicting you.

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure you keep a clean home, but just time

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: means you're going to acquire smells. Whether those are cooking

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: smells that get in your paint, your carpet, maybe their

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: animals smells. Maybe you're a smoker, or someone else was

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: just living create smells. I didn't realize that my home

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: had a smell to it until I got my first

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Eden Pure Thunderstorm, the greatest air purifier I've ever owned

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: in my life. This thing. I had it plugged in

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: for two hours. I came back in the room and

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: my air smells so clean. I now owned three of them.

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. This thing has absolutely changed

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: me on top of what it's done from my allergies.

Speaker 1: code Jesse. This is a Jesse Kelly show. After this,

20
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: King Sanakareb of Assyria and all his army surrounded and

21
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: attacked Lakish. Then he sent his officers to Jerusalem with

22
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: this message for King Hezekiah of Judah and all the

23
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: people of Judah in Jerusalem. Sanakaib, king of Assiria, says

24
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: this quote. You have nothing to trust in to help you.

25
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: It is no use for you to stay in Jerusalem

26
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: under attack. Hezekiah says to you, the Lord, our God

27
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: will save us from the King of Assyria, But he

28
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: is fooling you. If you stay in Jerusalem, you will

29
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: die from hunger and thirst. Hezekiah himself removed your lord's

30
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: places of worship and altars. He told you people of

31
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: Judah and Jerusalem, that you must worship and burn incense

32
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: only on one altar. You know what my ancestors and

33
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: I have done to all the people in other nations.

34
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: The gods of those nations could not save their people

35
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: from my power. My ancestors destroyed those nations. None of

36
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: their gods could save them from me. So your God

37
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: cannot save you from my power. Do not let Hezekiah

38
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: fool you or trick you, and do not believe him.

39
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: No god of any nation or kingdom has been able

40
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: to save his people from me or my ancestors, your

41
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: God is even less able to save you from me.

42
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: Second Chronicles thirty two, we're going to talk briefly today.

43
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna short today about the Assyrian people. The Assyrian

44
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: people are uniquely interesting to me because it it's hard

45
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: to talk about them in a dispassionate way. And I

46
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: will tell you full disclosure here because of the way

47
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: I was brought up, because of the things I believe

48
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: and the things I know many of you believe. Assyria. Assyrians,

49
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: they're not well thought of. I mean, that was a

50
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: brief passage from the Bible I just read there, but

51
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: I could have read about ninety of them. I mean, Chris,

52
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: this is old Testament. Even you people believe that the Syrians.

53
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: How many references to the Assyrians are out there, are

54
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: all through it, and I mean all through. It should

55
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: be noted that Sanakarebe did not succeed in that little

56
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: endeavor there. God sent the angels wiped out the army,

57
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: he tucktailed and run. Later on the Assyrians would succeed.

58
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: It's called the Siege of lakesh We'll get to that

59
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: in just a little while. But Assyrians are hard for

60
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: me to wrap my mind around, because in this culture,

61
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: in our Judeo Christian culture, even if you're not a

62
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: believer of anything, you know of the Assyrians mostly from

63
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: the Bible, and it is not a bright and sunny picture.

64
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: Remember when I said there, throughout the Bible, everybody knows

65
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: the story of Jonah, right, Jonah and the and the

66
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: big fish or the whale or whatever however you want

67
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: to take that. You remember where Jonah was supposed to

68
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: be going when he decided to go the other way

69
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: and got chucked off a ship. He was supposed to

70
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: be going to a little place called Nineveh, Yes, where

71
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: Nineveh was Assyria. Jonah was on his way to tell

72
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: those dirty, sinful, evil Assyrians to change their ways, or

73
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: God on High was going to change them for them.

74
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: So Assyrians are the bad guys historically Biblically, in our culture,

75
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: they're the bad guys. However, they're kind of cool. Parts

76
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: of them are kind of cool. Please don't strike me down, Lord,

77
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: I'm not cheering for the Assyrians. They are kind of cool,

78
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: and I'm fascinated with them. And I know I'm not

79
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: supposed to do this. I've done it before with other

80
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: harsh peoples, evil peoples where it sounds like I'm making

81
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: excuses for them, and maybe I am. But let me

82
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: paint this scenario for you. Let's say you have this gigantic,

83
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: muscle bound, ugly, scary looking dude sitting in front of

84
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 1: you in this gigantic, frightening individual walks into a gigantic room,

85
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: and this room is full of the most adorable little

86
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: puppies you've ever seen in your entire life, and he

87
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: starts slapping them around, hitting the puppies. Well, I mean,

88
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: obviously that's a bad guy, isn't it. My goodness, I

89
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: don't even like dogs that much. Don't write me your emails.

90
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean like dogs. I mean, who doesn't love a

91
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 1: puppy is a little puppy. You pick up the puppy,

92
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: you pet the puppy. You don't abuse puppies or any animals,

93
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: I would hope. Well, you hate that big, ugly, mean,

94
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: strong guy. Now right now, what if you take that

95
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: same guy out of that house full of puppies and

96
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: you place him in a house full of violent, evil

97
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: criminals who are always causing trouble and he starts beating

98
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: the crap out of all of them. Does your view

99
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: of the big ugly guy change then of course it does.

100
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: Of course it does. Why he's the same person, He

101
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: hasn't changed one bit. Do you set him in front

102
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: of something he's going to hurt it, Well, it changes

103
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: because doesn't it depend on who you're beating up? Doesn't

104
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: it matter who you're hurting? Does? What I'm saying to

105
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: you is Assyria tough to love. Did some ugly things,

106
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: which we are about to talk about. At the same time.

107
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and act as if

108
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: they are the first civilization ever. That would probably have

109
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: to go to Egypt as far as major, major, major

110
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: power civilizations ever. But a lot of what you know

111
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: as being just the realities of life, the realities of empire,

112
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: you know that because of Assyria, a lot of just

113
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: basic concepts of governing, the visions of power, you know

114
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: that because of Assyria. And the truth is this, life

115
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: in the Assyrian Empire wasn't that bad for people in

116
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: the Assyrian Empire. And it was a heck of a

117
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: lot safer than being constantly rated and abused by the

118
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: violent tribes and people's surrounding Assyria. Assyria was brutal, no question,

119
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: But Assyria was brutal in a brutal age, in a

120
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: very brutal age. And I would submit to you when

121
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: you consider all the violent people around them who were

122
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: constantly at war. I mean, look, let's go back to

123
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: the Bible for a moment. You've read the Old Testament.

124
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: Like I said, even Chris has done that. What is

125
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: it when the Israelites are settling the Promised Lands? It

126
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: reads it's just, and then he goes to war, and

127
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: then he goes to war, and then they went to war,

128
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: and then they went to war, and then he went

129
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: to war with them. Let me expand on that for

130
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: a step. You need a home security system. Did you

131
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: hear what I said? You need one now. Door locks

132
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: aren't enough anymore, they're not. Look at the news, look

133
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: around you. You need a home security system and you

134
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: need a good one. And you need one that has

135
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: monitored twenty four hours a day, seven days a week

Speaker 1: not so easy to be the give piece a chance

152
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: dude when you were surrounded by bad people trying to

153
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: kill you. What the Assyrians did was carve an empire

154
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: out of a ruthless civilization. And back to what I

155
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: was talking about, like biblically is the best example I

156
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: can give you something that would make sense of you.

157
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: You have to understand this. At this time, we are

158
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: talking bronze age here, at this point in time in humanity,

159
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: especially in the I don't want to call it Mesopotamia.

160
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: Everybody says that no one knows where it is Iran

161
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: Iraq or there you go. I ran Iraq, Egypt, I

162
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: ran Iraq. Especially in this part of the world where

163
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: I mean mankind began. In this part of the world,

164
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: we are still at a point in time where civilization

165
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: is still beginning, as far as tribes, tribes turning into nations,

166
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: a nation turning into an empire, empires figuring out what

167
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: being an empire actually means and how to run one.

168
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: Let me give you an example. We talked often about

169
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: the Roman Empire on the show Ancient Rome. We always do,

170
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: we always will. It's so significant. It's the longest running,

171
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: greatest empire in the history of mankind. They're just a shoot.

172
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: I can do a Roman story every day from now

173
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: until the day they kick me off the air, which

174
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: would probably be tomorrow. But what's one of the main

175
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: things I've always told you about the greatness of Rome,

176
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: Same about the greatness of the Mongolian Empire, Same about

177
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: the greatness of the Persian Empire. What's one of the underrated,

178
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: non sexy things that made it incredible? Roads, aren't Rhodes

179
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: the lamest thing in the history of mankind to talk about?

180
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking right now, we're talking about Assyria.

181
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: You want to hear about people being flayed alive, And yes,

182
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to get to that in a moment, But

183
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: being flayed alive is great to discuss on the radio.

184
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: Cringe a little bit, maybe laugh with your kid about

185
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: how disgusting that is on the way to school. I

186
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: think that's cool, y'all. Do that cool? Keep it up.

187
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: Try to make sure your kids can always enjoy the show.

188
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: But fleeing people alive was not even close to being

189
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: as important to the Assyrian Empire as roads, and they

190
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: were one of, if not the first empires to build

191
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: them in mass You see those Persians who were famous

192
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: for their roads, who do you think they copied them? After?

193
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: Those Mongols who were famous for their roads? Who do

194
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: you think they copied them? After the Romans famous for

195
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: their roads? Who do you think all these empires learned from? Again?

196
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you inching back? My way? And that histories?

197
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: Bad guys kind of cool. They figured this out another

198
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: guy that you will probably recognize the name, maybe not

199
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: his name as Tigleith. You see what had happened with

200
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: Assyria was this. They did not start out as this big,

201
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: ugly brutish empire, flaying people alive. They started out like

202
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: virtually every empire seems to start out. Look at our own.

203
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: They started out small, a group of people here, then

204
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: more people come here. Then oh, look resources, Oh the

205
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: weather's not bad. Ow. You guys worshiped like I worshiped.

206
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: That's really cool. Let's all get together. Hey, look at

207
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: those guys over there, they're worshiping. Two. Let's get together.

208
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: And the Assyrians began that way, and then they began

209
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: to be traders, hugely, hugely into trade and commerce, just

210
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: like America, just like so many empires. As empires grow, Wow,

211
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: this place is great. Hey, should we trade with him? Absolutely,

212
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: let's trade with them. Two. Soon we're moving on up

213
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: to the east side to a deluxe apartment in the sky.

214
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: House is getting a little bigger, depending on your culture.

215
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: Maybe you pick up another two or three wives, buy

216
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: some cattle. That wooden bowl I used to eat from. Wow,

217
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: it's made a metal. Now, got myself a slaver or two.

218
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: We're talking ancient world here. People slaves were currency and

219
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: a status thing, very much a status symbol, obviously not

220
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: defending the practice. And as they grew, as they went

221
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: from being a group of people, to a tribe, to

222
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: a nation. They started to realize, wow, these Asian step

223
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: people think Mongols, even though we're two thousand years before

224
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: the Mongols. These Asian step people are really vicious and

225
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: really mean, because every time we build something nice, they

226
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: come riding in, they take it all. They kill all

227
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: our men, assault or steal the women and children. Then

228
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: they leave us with nothing. And so the Assyrian people

229
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: did what you and I would do too, decide for themselves.

230
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: We got to put a stop to this. Let's start

231
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 1: building up some kind of a military. Let's start building

232
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: up some kind of way to defend ourselves. And the

233
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: next time those step people show up, the Assyrians make

234
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: a better show of themselves, but still lose. And the Assyrians,

235
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: with all the money in the world, start advancing faster

236
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: and faster and faster. And one day those Asian step

237
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: people come rolling into your Assyrian city and none of

238
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: them make it out alive. And then you're Assyria. You see,

239
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: not only are you a trader. What trade does is

240
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: it advances It advances nations intellectually as well technologically, because

241
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: what do traders do? They travel to other places and

242
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: then back again. And the smart Empires. Genghis Khan was

243
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: great about this. The Romans were great about this. We've

244
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: been outstanding at this. The smart Empires, they're more than

245
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: happy to steal the things you do that are awesome. Hey,

246
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: our Assyrian trader just got back. Hey, mister king, sir,

247
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: do you know how these guys are irrigating their fields?

248
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Come here, let me show you. Oh okay,

249
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: we're going to irrigate our fields that way and the roads.

250
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: As we mentioned, and and this is a big part

251
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: of member I called at the Bronze Age. Let's get

252
00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: rid of these wooden weapons. What's this bronze stuff? And

253
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: this is where it's going to get a little tedious.

254
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: But you need to understand this because this still applies

255
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: today and always will apply. It's just going to will

256
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: apply in different ways. What if you were an army today,

257
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: completely modern, up to date on everything, your troops, good weapons,

258
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: awesome ships. You gotta get everything you need except an airplane.

259
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: You've never seen an airplane before in your life, let

260
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: alone a fighter jet. And you went up against an

261
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: opposing army with the same amount of men and everything

262
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: you got they got, you got fifty thousand, they got

263
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: fifty thousand, and you're looking around and you're thinking to yourself,

264
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: we're obviously fine, look at how advanced we are. And

265
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: you show up with your fifty thousand troops to fight

266
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: to the battlefield, and they show up with bombers and

267
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: destroy your entire army Like that, that's what happens in

268
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: this ancient period of time with technology like Bronze. It

269
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: sounds small and stupid to you and I because we

270
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: move so far past that. But when I'm a tribal people, well,

271
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: hang on, let me explain how exposed is your information online?

272
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: How much of your information is out there? Now? Don't

273
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: get me wrong, I don't think you're naive. I don't

274
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: think you have a public profile with your home address,

275
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: your online dating profile information, your gun records, all the

276
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: previous addresses, things like that. I don't think you'd knowingly

277
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: put all that out there for everyone to see. But

278
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: something like that may be happening with your information online.

279
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: What I mean is there may be public records posted

280
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: online about you. You wouldn't paint your private information on

281
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: your garage door, right, but you could be leaving a

282
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: footprint everywhere you go. When you're online. A lot of

283
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: things you do online, or maybe records you didn't even

284
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: set up yourself, those records might be out there. It's

285
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: more important than ever to find out what could be

286
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: posted online about you. Go ahead and look up your

287
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: name or anyone else's right now, go to get the

288
00:22:43,640 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: Truth Now dot com. That's Get the Truth Now dot com.

289
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: You see, we're talking about the beginning of the beginning,

290
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: and it's hard for you and I. Let's be honest,

291
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: it's impossible for you and I to put ourselves in

292
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: their shoes with their values in the way things were

293
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: done back then. And why technology matters so much. You see,

294
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: if you and I are getting ready to go to

295
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: war and we're gonna have a big old fight, and

296
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: all you've ever known, because that's all ever existed was

297
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: wood and stone. Weapons. Probably have a sling, almost undoubtedly

298
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: you have a wooden spear, maybe a crude axe with

299
00:23:54,840 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: some sharpened stone on it. And of course you're not stupid,

300
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: you're advanced for what you think your time is. And

301
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: you have a shield of some kind, maybe a piece

302
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: of rawhide they were big on that stretched out skin

303
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: over some wood. And you show up and you We're

304
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: gonna have war like we always have war, only instead

305
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: of having what you have. I have bronze armor on

306
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: my chest. I have a bronze helmet on my head.

307
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: Your weapons, if I didn't have one, are gonna have

308
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: a difficult time ever penetrating in killing me. Oh when

309
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: did I mention? Sorry about that rawhide shield of yours.

310
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: I now have a spear with the sharpened bronze tip

311
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: on it. That's gonna go through your spear, your shield

312
00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: like a hot knife through butter. That is how things change,

313
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: and change quickly. It's called the Bronze Age for a reason,

314
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: and the Assyrians are a big, big part of it.

315
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: The major nations discovered it, the Assyrians started producing it

316
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: in mass. We then move on from the Bronze Age

317
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: that the iron age, which the Assyrians also produce in

318
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: mass and the Assyrians do something else which is going

319
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: to cause you to basically roll your eyes because it

320
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: sounds so standard. Once again, realize this. It was not

321
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: standard for this time. It was virtually unheard of. The

322
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: Assyrians decided, why don't we have an army and just

323
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: keep them all the time. You see other nations here

324
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the world other nations. You had

325
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: all your dudes in society, and okay, we got a problem.

326
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: King needs us. Hey, grab your spear, let's get roll.

327
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: And let's no, we're not plowing the fields today, son,

328
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: grab your spear. We gotta go to war. There's some

329
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: training involved, but for the most part it's all a

330
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: bunch of citizen soldiers in Assyria. Assyria figures out, we

331
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: have the money to do it. Why don't we make

332
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: these guys train full time, equip them in the latest

333
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: technology at all times? Do you think your army would

334
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: be just a little bit more dominant than everyone else's?

335
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: It got worse, well or better, depending on which side

336
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: of the Assyrians you're on. What has every city done

337
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: in the history of mankind? Right up to the point

338
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: of major artillery and air power, they build walls, and

339
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: I mean artillery and air power virtually eliminated that. But

340
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: every other city, a major city, they build walls. Bigger

341
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: the city bigger, the walls, more hostile, the neighbors bigger

342
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: the walls. You build walls. And what's so amazing is,

343
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 1: at this point in time, there's almost no way to

344
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: get through a wall. If you lay siege to a city.

345
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: What you're doing is you're saying, I'm betting you're going

346
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: to starve to death or die of thirst before my

347
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: army outside of the city gates is going to starve

348
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: to death or die of thirst. And remember that's always

349
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: a part of siege warfare. You know how much I

350
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: love siege warfare, mainly for how visually stunning it must

351
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: have been, how horrific it was if they actually got through.

352
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: Just everything about it I find to be hugely fascinating.

353
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: But we're at a point in time where there's no

354
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: way through that gate, over that wall, so I have

355
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: to surround your city. I don't let anyone in er out,

356
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: and I have to try to feed my entire army

357
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: while you're trying to feed all your people. And like

358
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: I said, it's just a race against time. Now, do

359
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: I have enough resources outside of here to last longer

360
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: than you? The Assyrians changed all that. The Assyrians, again,

361
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: with help from the invention of bronze and then iron,

362
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: The Assyrians thought, well, wait a minute, I'm just going

363
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: to break through your gait, and they came up with

364
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: the battering ram, protected with a shield of over the

365
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: top of it, a big piece of wood, a big

366
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: wooden log with a big old bronze or iron tip

367
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: on it that I can wheel right up to your

368
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,239
Speaker 1: gate and you go ahead and hang out, because I'm

369
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: gonna be smashing through this gate promptly. Again, it sounds small,

370
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: but what kind of a shock is that if you're

371
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: the first city ever that gets the battering ram against

372
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: the gate treatment, Oh bad, look at this. This kind

373
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: of sucks. The Assyrians are here, Well whatever, I mean,

374
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: We've got plenty food and waters and we'll see all

375
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: on they last. I'm sure we'll be fine. Hey, Marty,

376
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: what's that pounding? Imagine the first time they come smashing through,

377
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: and it's probably time to bring up what happened with

378
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: the Assyrians when they smashed through and part of the

379
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: reason they are thought of as histories bad guys. Well,

380
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: it was ugly, and there's no way around the fact

381
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: it was ugly. The Siege of Lakesh is probably something

382
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: many of you have heard of. Lakesh was, outside of Jerusalem,

383
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: the most important city in Israel. It's the one the

384
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: Assyrians eventually took, and Lakesh is an area where on

385
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: one side of the city, essentially on one side of

386
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: the city. It's impregnable because the walls are too high

387
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: because of the terrain around it. The other side is

388
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: the only way you can get in. The Assyrians not

389
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: only brought their ramp up or their ram up, they

390
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: built a ramp. Remember we did the story on the

391
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: Siege of Malta that one time Malta was that sweet

392
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: fort held by those Jewish fanatics, and the Romans built

393
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: this huge ramp up to wheel things up. Where do

394
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: you think they learned that from? Again? Kind of cool, right,

395
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: The Assyrians built this ramp, they break through, they haul

396
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: the people off. And when I say haul the people off,

397
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: this is going to get a little gruesome. But again,

398
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: their histories bad guys for a reason. They gouge people's

399
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: eyes out. And I don't mean one or two guys,

400
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: it's standard practice. They have it written on their They're

401
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: called reliefs. Essentially, I'm just gonna call them paintings. They're

402
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: not it's not paint, but I'm just gonna call them paintings.

403
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: The Assyrians themselves would advertise this, we will put you

404
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: on your knees and we will shove a spear into

405
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: your eyes. And then then came the hooks. I don't

406
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: know where they got this from, whether this was an

407
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: Assyrian invention, whether they probably ripped it off from someone

408
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: else and then mass produced like most big empires did

409
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: and the Assyrians did. But when they hauled you away,

410
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: they didn't just all right, come this way, pick up

411
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: the pace a little, No, they used hooks. Hang on

412
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: The Jesse Kelly Show on air and online at Jesse

413
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: Kelly show dot Com. Happened to me yet again this morning,

414
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: walking through the hall after I got to work. I'm

415
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: walking along the halls in the studio, get the blood

416
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: flowing in the morning, And of course I know you're

417
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: gonna find this surprising. I have my Raycon earbuds in.

418
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: I was listening to some music sometimes I just like

419
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: to chill out for a little bit before the show.

420
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: Got some music in walking around and I see somebody

421
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: walking towards me. And I've learned at this point, when

422
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: I have my Raycon to your buns in, I need

423
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: to make eye contact with somebody in case they talk

424
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,239
Speaker 1: to me. Because they're so small you can't tell you

425
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: have them in sometimes sticking out of your ears like

426
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: an alien. They fit practically completely inside of your outer

427
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: ear you just can't see you have them, and they

428
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: sound so good. Anyway, I saw the person's mouth moving,

429
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: I knew they were talking to me. I paused by

430
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: ear buds so I could talk. Go to by raycon

431
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: dot com slash jesse. That's by raycon dot com slash

432
00:33:44,920 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: jesse that gets you fifteen percent off. When the Assyrians

433
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: wanted to haul you off, and let's be honest, when

434
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: I get to the next part here, you might be

435
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: glad you're actually one of these people getting hauled off.

436
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: But when the Assyrians wanted to haul you off, they

437
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: would stick a hook either through your nose with a

438
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: chain or rope attached to it. When's the last time

439
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: you pinched your nostrils? How does that feel? Or they

440
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: would stick a hook through your lips and haul you off.

441
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: Or this is my personal favorite, they would stick a

442
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: hook through your jaw. Allow me to explain. I want

443
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: you right now, if you're not driving and you have

444
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: the ability to do so, to put your fingers on

445
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: your chin. Are you feeling your chin now? I want

446
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: you to move them back towards your throat, right about

447
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: halfway in between the chin and the throat. If you

448
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: want to look at the skeleton area. There's a non

449
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: bone plenty of non bone area there. They would jam

450
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: a hook up through there and through your mouth and

451
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: haul you away. Those were the lucky ones. The ones

452
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: who weren't lucky, Well, we're not going to go into

453
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: the pregnant women that the Assyrians bragged about what they

454
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: did just think, you know, rape of nanking type thing

455
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: as we've talked about before. Let's talk about some of

456
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 1: the things they did to owe the leaders of cities,

457
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: like the siege of Kesh. The Assyrians. On top of

458
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: being pros at roads, pros at military things, the Assyrians

459
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: were pros at human suffering and they had specialists in

460
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: human suffering. Again, these were people who realized how important

461
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: it was to have a specialist, which is really nice

462
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: when we're talking about, oh, irrigation, roads, shipping. Trade gets

463
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: a little uglier when you find out there are special

464
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: units dedicated to causing pain and they would flay people alive. Now,

465
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,919
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into too much detail on this,

466
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: mainly because we don't know an incredible amount of how

467
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: ancient peoples did this. This wasn't something completely unheard of,

468
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: but I will tell you this as a dude on occasion,

469
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: I work with my hands. It's just inevitable. You know,

470
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: I worked construction forever as that's life. And any dude

471
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: will tell you at some point in time, you're gonna

472
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: skin your knuckles on something, hands, gonna slip, catch on something,

473
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: tear open one of your knuckles. I'm sure I've probably

474
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: done it more than most people. You should see my knuckles,

475
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: They're one big scar. How bad does that hurt? Now?

476
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: What does that feel like? If they strap you down

477
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 1: and do that to your entire body before they burn

478
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 1: you alive. That was the kind of thing the Assyrians did,

479
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: and the Assyrians historically did themselves no favors because not

480
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: only did they do it, they would do things like

481
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: hanging the skins of the people they flayed alive from

482
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 1: the city gates so everybody would know what happened when

483
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: you rebelled against the Syria. And then remember those reliefs

484
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: I told you about. I'm calling them paintings even than

485
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: that they're not paint at all. Then they would then

486
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: they would do paintings about them and brag about them,

487
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: almost like wall decorations. I mean they were wall decorations

488
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: in some places. Oh look, these are the guys we

489
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: flayed alive. Glad you came over. Hang on, I have

490
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: another one over here. I want you to see. You

491
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 1: can't believe this, dude. But they also did change things.

492
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: They figured out how to colonize. You know, all the talking,

493
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: all the talking we've done on this show about colonization,

494
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: these people colonizing, these people calling it, these people colonizing Africa, America,

495
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: Americans colonizing America, the Spanish colonizing Mexico. We've talked about

496
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: it endlessly. Let me say it again. Where do you

497
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: think they learned all that? The Assyrians were the ones

498
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: who figured out, Okay, we need a governor in this region.

499
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: We need a puppet ruler in this region. We are

500
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: going to get taxes from this region. We're going to

501
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: use this region militarily. What I mean by that, as

502
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: you remember those great Assyrian roads, Well, logistics are difficult,

503
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: Feeding and watering a huge army is difficult, and they

504
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: had huge standing armies, as we talked about already. So

505
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: the Assyrians would set it up in the various cities

506
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: they had in their empire, where we don't have to

507
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: haul all of our food and water with us. We

508
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: send a runner to the governor. Hey, get supplies ready,

509
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: we're on the way. And these were essentially way stations

510
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: for the army, so you could feed and supply guys.

511
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: Do you know how incredible it is? Assyrian armies would

512
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: travel thousands of miles thousands and be able to supply that.

513
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: It's difficult to supply an army from thousands of miles

514
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: away today. The Assyrians were doing it a thousand years

515
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: before Christ. But they do make me think about something.

516
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: Hang on, yet another great night's sleep last night thanks

532
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: up here about the Assyrians. Remember they started out in

533
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: the Bronze Age and moved on to the Iron Age. Well,

534
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: there was also a long down period of time where

535
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: the Assyrian Empire had reached greatness and then it began

536
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: to seriously falter. They had a real problem in their

537
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: society of the wealthy, the nobles. They were starting to

538
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: we'll only look out for themselves and not look out

539
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: for their country. And they're working against Assyria, and they're

540
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: working against the Assyrian leaders, and they're really tearing Assyria down.

541
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: By all accounts, Assyria was on a serious downhill swing.

542
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: And then a man named Tiglith came along. You heard

543
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: me say his name earlier, A strong general, a man.

544
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 1: He changed things, but he got ugly on the way.

545
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: This is the Jesse Kelly show. This is the Jesse

546
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 1: Kelly Show. How did take with turn around Assyrian kingdom

547
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: that was humbling? Well, he killed and tortured a lot

548
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: of people, He took over a lot of cities. He

549
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: put the country in a perpetual state of warfare. He

550
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: modernized the army even more as we've discussed earlier, and

551
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: he went out and slaughtered everything. You saw. One more

552
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: thing the Assyrians did before we get back to Tiglet.

553
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring this up because I thought this

554
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: was fascinated member when I talked about how they colonized.

555
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: You want to know, one of the main things the

556
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: Assyrians did when they colonized, they deported people. I don't

557
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,720
Speaker 1: mean deported their own people from the country. They would

558
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: take over or they took over Chicago. And the Assyrians

559
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: realized something very very important, and the empires that came

560
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: after them again copied them in this. The Assyrians realized,

561
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: the people are loyal to each other, loyal to whatever

562
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: their local gods, are loyal to this area they have,

563
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: this area is part of their identity. Being here, being

564
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: around other Chicagoans is part of their identity. We must

565
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: rip that away from them if we're going to be

566
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: able to make them Assyrian, if we're going to be

567
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: able to truly conquer them, and they would simply take families.

568
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: They did it as families. By the way, they don't.

569
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 1: Here's a knock on your door at night, sorry, producer

570
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: Chris grab the fam y'all are moving on out. Got

571
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: a nice spot for you a couple thousand miles away.

572
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: And they would completely break up communities, so the community

573
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: would cease to exist. Whatever religion it was would eventually

574
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: fade away, because religions only thrive and continue when there

575
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: are enough people in the area continuing it on. Otherwise

576
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: it just gets watered down and fades away. That's the

577
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: way it goes. Assyrians set the precedent of every empire,

578
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: and let's be honest, they set a great precedent for

579
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: what's happening here in the United States of America right now,

580
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: the stripping away of an identity. Let me ask you,

581
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: how many times have you heard things like America is

582
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: a melting pot, America is a nation of immigrants. Now,

583
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: let me be clear about something. I'm not actually saying either.

584
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: Those things aren't true. It is a big melting pot

585
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: because there are so many people from all over the

586
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: world in different cultures and everything else coming. That's fine,

587
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: and whatever I don't know about nation of immigrants we

588
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: have a bunch of immigrants here, we also have a

589
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 1: bunch of people who've settled here. That's that's fine. But again,

590
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: I'm not saying these things in essence are bad. But

591
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: what what most of the time the people mean when

592
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: they say that are well, we don't have a culture.

593
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: Be very very wary of the person telling you America

594
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: doesn't have a culture. Oh, America's just that. It's not

595
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: Americas just do whatever. It's just freedom. But they never

596
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: mean real freedom. America has a culture. And the fact

597
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: many Americans pull after pull after poll show Americans can't

598
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: define what their culture is. That has been the biggest

599
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: win ever for the leftists in conquering this country. Americans

600
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:13,720
Speaker 1: genuinely do not realize. American culture was in extremely extremely

601
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: limited federal government Judeo Christian values. That is the American culture.

602
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: I don't care you don't send me your emails Jesse

603
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: at Jesse Kelly show dot com. I don't care if

604
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: those aren't your values. If they aren't, that's fine, you

605
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: can have you have whatever values you have. But that

606
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: is America. That's what it was founded on. It's written

607
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: all I don't need to I'm not guessing on it,

608
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: it's written, it's in a thousand different writings of the founders.

609
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,240
Speaker 1: That's what they wanted, that's why they started the place.

610
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: That's what America is, and that is what made us unique.

611
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: But what they've done is they've taken away the idea

612
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: of what it means to be American. Why do you think,

613
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: why do you think I'm looking at a headline right now,

614
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: NFL to ditch live on field singing of the national anthem. Okay,

615
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 1: we're doing away with the celebration of America before every game.

616
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 1: Whatever you think about that. Why do you think leftists

617
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:18,760
Speaker 1: are all in on dumping on the national anthem? Why

618
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: do you think when I bring up how leftists have

619
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: infected every part of all our culture? Why do you

620
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: think the response I get, honestly most of all is

621
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: now It's not like the right hasn't done that. They

622
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: sing the national anthem and talk about the military as

623
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: if those are just right wing things. Leftists. Before they

624
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: can fully colonize you, and before they can fully colonize me,

625
00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: leftists have to take away the things you believe. That's

626
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: why for years they've tried to force people into cities,

627
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: make life in the country miserable. That's why for decades

628
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: now they've gone after religion heavily, mostly Christianity heavily. Why

629
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 1: do you think they do that. They do that because

630
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: they have to strip away the things that make you

631
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 1: you before they can make you the things they want

632
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: you to be. And I'll be honest, this is not

633
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: some vague concept as I just laid out for you.

634
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: With the Assyrians and every other empire, this works. They

635
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 1: do it because it is extremely effective. Americans now, probably

636
00:50:54,280 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 1: not you in particular, but Americans now, how grateful are

637
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: they to live in America? How grateful? I know you're grateful.

638
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: I have seen some of the uglier parts of this world.

639
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm extremely grateful. How grateful our Americans in general. How

640
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: many people in this country wake up today, I'm not

641
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: even blaming them. How many people in this country wake

642
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 1: up today and think to themselves, got a little headache,

643
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: but man, at least I'm in America, not somewhere else.

644
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: Or they wake up and hate displace and find something

645
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: to complain about all day long. There's a reason for that.

646
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: We have turned patriotism, we've turned what it makes what

647
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: it means to be American, and we've taken it away.

648
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: We've turned it in an nothing, and that's a big

649
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: part of why we're at where we're at. And back

650
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: to this tig lift guy, here's where I'm worried we're going.

651
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: Because I'm not as worried about where we are as

652
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: you've heard me talk to you about endlessly. I'm worried

653
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: about where we're going. And here's what I'm worried about.

654
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: When a nation is on the decline, as the Assyrians were,

655
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: as this has happened several times throughout history. When a

656
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: nation is on the decline, there are in general, two

657
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: different ways that goes. Either a the decline simply continues

658
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: all the way down to the bottom till it's over.

659
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:49,720
Speaker 1: I really don't want to go there or be Oftentimes

660
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: the decline it stops, but it stops because somebody strong

661
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: and really, really vicious puts a stop to it. I

662
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: see things changing here. I'll explain it just a second.

663
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: You don't have to dip forever, you know that, Ryan.

664
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 1: You don't have to smoke forever. And the reason I

665
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,720
Speaker 1: say it like that is I have been that guy.

666
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: I've been that guy. I dipped for so long, and

667
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: what would happen is. I would decide I'm gonna quit.

668
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 1: It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man,

669
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: I don't need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold Turkey.

670
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: And I would fail time and time and time again.

671
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: I tried things like the patch that didn't work, gum

672
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: of sunflower seeds. I tried at all. It's just a

673
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,959
Speaker 1: matter of finding the right thing to help you quit.

674
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 1: That's Jakes Mintchew. Go put in your dip. Just make
