1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is. 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: What look, and I get that. The holsters not the 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right. You want to 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups. 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm 10 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps, 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand 14 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one 15 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing 17 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: I carry around NW Retention dot Com. That's NW Retention 18 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten 19 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: percent off. This is the Jesse Kelly Show. What's the 20 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: most horrifying pre death scenario you can imagine? Not the 21 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: actual death itself. You know we've gone over all that 22 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 1: up before on the show. We'll go over it again. 23 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: That would probably be either crucifixion or scaffism, also called 24 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: the boats particularly an ugly way to die. Not talking 25 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: about that today, I will address it another time. I'm 26 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: talking about the pre death scenario. You know you're gonna die. 27 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: What's the most horrifying situation you can imagine? I'm about 28 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: to talk you through what I think is probably number one, 29 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: but that's gonna have to wait a few Do you 30 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: know why on the Mexican flag there's that eagle with 31 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: a snake in its talons because of the Aztecs. The 32 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: Aztec people did not call themselves Aztecs. But I'm not 33 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: some fancy schmancy historian with a bunch of degrees, so 34 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to call them by the name that you 35 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: know them by, Aztecs. Consider them the one of the 36 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: indigenous peoples of Mexico. Let's be honest. They're one of 37 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: Mexico's indian tribes. It's what they are, the Aztex demons. 38 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 1: But the Aztecs were, you know, think about the year 39 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: twelve hundred too well to the end of our story today, 40 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: they were the big boys on the block, and they 41 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: roll in to this area of Mexico from what we know. 42 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: Remember we're not in an era with you know, emails 43 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: and text messages and everything is written down and somebody 44 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: backup voice memo. So things get a little cloudy, especially 45 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: when it comes to people who at least initially weren't 46 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: writing anything down, or even that they if they did 47 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: write some things down, like in the case of the Aztecs, 48 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: once they got to their feet underneath them, someone came 49 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: along and destroyed it all. So some of the stuff's 50 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: a little hazy. But when they arrived in that area 51 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: of Mexico, they were thought of as and I love this, 52 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: I've always gotten a kick out of this. They were 53 00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: thought of as barbarians. Barbarians by the standards of the 54 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: other Mexican indigenous people. You see. We always like to 55 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: put that because ever so much of our education system 56 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: now is really America sucks. Anybody who colonized somebody sucks. 57 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: Christopher Columbus sucks. Everything sucks. The white people were Devil's 58 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: Indians were amazing, peaceful people, whether they be Indians, Gauls 59 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: in Roman times, whoever. People always always find a way 60 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: to look down on other people. It's part of what 61 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: we do as human beings, does not matter, your skin color, 62 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: does not matter your tribe. You could put somebody on 63 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: a mountaintop in Nepal somewhere and put a little town 64 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: up there and never give them any contact with the 65 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: outside world at all, and the first time somebody showed 66 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: up to their little town, they would be all, look 67 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: at this uncivilized brute. It's even nature. You do it 68 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: in your life. I do it in my life, don't you. Well, yeah, 69 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: we try to fight against that as much as possible, 70 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: but we definitely have to fight against that as much 71 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: as possible. But look at that guy. He doesn't he 72 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: doesn't know how to drive. But hey, what are you 73 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: hunking at me for? I'm sorry, I drifted a little? 74 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: Can we all do it? So the Aztecs roll in, 75 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: and again the other tribes who were there, the quote 76 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: more civilized tribes at the time, looked at them as in, 77 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, these guys, these guys are savages. But 78 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: it should be noted they were savages who love to 79 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: kill people, and we're very very very very very good 80 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: at killing people. They may have been barbarians, as is 81 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: often the case, Barbarians know how to kill people. The 82 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: Romans were famous for this. Well, I mean, yes, these 83 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: galls are disgusting on civilized brutes, but you know they 84 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: can sure barian acts in someone's face. Let's hire some 85 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: of these guys. And all the tribes that were there 86 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: at various times would hire the as Texts early on 87 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: to go fight some battles with them, sometimes just for them. 88 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: And eventually, and this happens a lot. You will hear 89 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: me talk about this years from now. Still we talking 90 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: about this because I find the concept of this fascinating. 91 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: I've actually done a whole show on it once. Eventually, 92 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: the as Texts look around and they say, well, why 93 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: are we doing the fighting for other people when we're 94 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: the muscle around here? Tell me what stops us from 95 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: just deciding we're the ones in charge? And the amples 96 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: of this throughout history are endless of people hiring out 97 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: their muscle. And one day the muscle becomes self aware 98 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: and thinks, well, I'm just gonna run things now, and 99 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: what are you going to do about it? I'm the muscle. 100 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: That's pretty much what happens with the Hastecks. Well, we've 101 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: been kicking the crap out of everybody else down here. 102 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: I think we're just gonna move in, And so they 103 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: start to get their feet under them, start to build 104 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: themselves up, and in one of the most gruesome, awesome 105 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: historical stories I've ever told you. Just a little mini 106 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: side note, I love this so much because picturing it 107 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: makes me laugh. Even though this is horrific and actually 108 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: happened to a human being. Check this out. They were 109 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: no different than the rest of the world at this time, 110 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: as in, you make marriages of convenience, you make marriages 111 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: for allegiances. You know, we want to merge these two tribes. 112 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: You know we've had some bad blood. Why don't why 113 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: don't you send your son over here and he can 114 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: get married to my daughter? And looked at that'll cement 115 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: our relationship, right blood. And that's look that people think 116 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: that was just something that Europeans did. Everybody did that tribes, 117 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: everybody throughout the world. Understand that as Americans in the 118 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: year twenty twenty, we all obsess over you know, we 119 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: have to find love. Oh when you see this, especially 120 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: with women all the time, when they get start getting 121 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: up there in years, start start the biological clock is ticking. 122 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: Starting to feel like I should be buried by now, 123 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: when will I find love? I just need love. There's 124 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: the worst perfect man for me to love. Now, I'm 125 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: not even insulting it. We have that luxury. You can 126 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: marry just for love here, good for you do that 127 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: hold out for that. That's fine. But I'm also telling 128 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: you that is not the norm in the history of 129 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: the world, especially with the upper classes of any given society. 130 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: The upper classes of any given society oftentimes most of 131 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: the time have to marry who they're freaking told to marry. 132 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: If you were a king and you have a daughter, 133 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: even if you absolutely love her to pieces, that girl's 134 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: most likely getting shipped off to somebody you're trying to 135 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: cement an allegiance with. Period. That's it, your son, Ah, dad, 136 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: I found this peasant girl. I love her. Yeah, that's fine, son. 137 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: You can take her as a slave, but you're not 138 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: marrying her. You're marrying these people in this nation because 139 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: we just had a little bad on. We signed a 140 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: treaty and now we have to get along. Sound good. Now, Granted, 141 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: you can marry her and then have a harem, because 142 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: that's how they did everything back then. But oh, you're marrying, 143 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: which is another thing for you to feel blessed about 144 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: on this Tuesday. Isn't it that you get to make 145 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: that choice. It's nice to have that freedom. It would 146 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: be a little difficult if at the age of what fifteen, sixteen, 147 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: seventeen and as tech times, they'd be marrying you off 148 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: at twelve, if you were a woman.

So marriages, especially amongst the nobility, were arranged 171 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: now and one of the most terrific stories ever. That 172 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: is just it is just amazing. The Aztecs were obsessed, 173 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: obsessed with blood, obsessed with human sacrifice. I don't mean 174 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: obsessed with blood as in studying the platelets. I mean 175 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: thinking that was life. Life was about shedding blood. That 176 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: was that was what the gods. One of the gods 177 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 1: demanded blood, and the gods demanded human sacrifices. Picture every 178 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: horrific stereotype about every three barbaric people in every movie 179 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: you've ever seen, and that's the Aztecs all rolled up 180 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: into one. You don't have to change a thing about 181 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: the Aztec people to make them absolutely horrifying. And when 182 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: I say horrifying, I mean child sacrifices by the thousands 183 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: child sacrifices. In a way, the gods demanded tears first, 184 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: so they would, well, you know what, I'm not going 185 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 1: to go into. That's a little too dark. They would 186 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: force the child in certain ways to cry before sacrificing 187 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: them because they wanted tears and blood. You know. I 188 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: always try to have some perspective when it comes to 189 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: historical people in historical societies, because values were different. I 190 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: do not look at Genghis Khan, a mass murderer, genocidal maniac, 191 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: even though he kind of was for their culture, he 192 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: was not. That's how he was raised, That's what he 193 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: was taught to do. I do not look at Christopher 194 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: Columbus or are one of our main characters today. Her 195 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: Non Cortez is some huge raper and pillager pillager of 196 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, Indian tribes, even though it was quite a 197 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: bit of that, but that's what they did back then. 198 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: You went and conquered. The Aztecs are one of the 199 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: few tribes I have absolutely no excuses for. When your 200 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: culture is hurting children on purpose, before you carve out 201 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: their hearts and eat them, you've got to at some 202 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: point in time look around and say, you know this 203 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: doesn't feel right. I feel like maybe we've gone too far. However, 204 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: they were obsessed with it, and I mean obsessed with 205 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: it in a way that the other tribes, often tribes 206 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: who also practice human sacrifice in cannibalism, looked at the 207 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: Aztecs in Aztecs in horror. They're contemporaries. We're like, oh, man, 208 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: these guys. Yeek. So back to that arranged marriage I 209 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: was talking about. The Aztecs decide they want to cement 210 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: a relationship with one of the most powerful kings of 211 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: one of the other tribes in Central Mexico at the time. 212 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,479 Speaker 1: This king offers his daughter to one of the Aztecs 213 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: in marriage. The Aztecs say, that is awesome, this will 214 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: really cement our relationship. In fact, she's actually going to 215 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: be a goddess for us. And apparently the man didn't 216 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: do the research because the king said, oh, that sounds awesome. 217 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: Good treat will boys, and they're like, we will, Jack, 218 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: we got you covered. A little while later, the king 219 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: shows up at a banquet with the Aztec nobility, sits 220 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: down for a meal, and one of the Aztec priests 221 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: walks out wearing his daughter's skin, which they'd flayed off 222 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: her body after they cut her heart out. And keep 223 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: in mind, this is why I actually find this story 224 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: horrifyingly humorous. The Aztecs had no idea he was going 225 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: to be upset. They were shocked at him reacting the 226 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: way he did. As you can imagine, he lost his 227 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: mind and threw them out of the area they were. 228 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: They had no idea to them. They thought this was 229 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: a great honor to them. They did honor her to him, 230 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: you're wearing my daughter's skin. So these people were horrific, 231 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: absolutely horrific, but they did build something. Well, I'll put 232 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: it to you this way. If you were to let 233 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: me travel back in time and not be there, because 234 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: I don't want my heart carved out of my body, 235 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: even by accident, not actually be there, or you know, 236 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: be a ghost and check someplace out their capital city. 237 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: And I'm only going to try to pronounce this once 238 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: because I can't pronounce it at all. It's to notch 239 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: it Lan sounds like one of the coolest, most advanced 240 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: places ever. You see, I gave you all the negatives 241 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: on the Aztecs. The positives are they actually did develop writing. 242 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: They were excellent at figuring out the stars, They figured 243 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: out mathematics, they had schools, and they built this city. 244 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: Some say they didn't, some say they discovered it and 245 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: improved it. But they built this city essentially in the 246 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: middle of a lake, and they built a huge causeway 247 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: to it. And when I say city, we're talking half 248 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,239 Speaker 1: a million people in the middle of a lake. And 249 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: they built gardens out of mud, gardens that floated, and 250 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: they had irrigation, and they had neighborhoods set up, and 251 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: they had sanitation set It was, by all accounts, and advanced, 252 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: advanced society. And they started beating the crap out of 253 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: all the other tribes. They were now the big boy 254 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: on the block, and many of the other tribes sadly 255 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: became essentially sacrifice meals for the Aztecs. You see, we're 256 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: gonna storm into your tribe. We're gonna take your land. No, 257 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: we're not going to wipe you out, of course not 258 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: we like you, we're friends, but we are going to 259 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: be back every month and take five of your kids 260 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: to go carve out their hearts. Do you think that 261 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: created some bad blood and bad blood? It certainly did, 262 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: because eventually, in fifteen nineteen along comes a man and 263 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: his name as her non Cortez. And this guy, well, 264 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you about him other 265 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: than the fact he has balls the size of the 266 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: Empire state building. Two of them, did a lot of 267 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: raping and pillaging himself. Probably not somebody you would want 268 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: babysitting your kids. Definitely not someone you would want in 269 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: charge of the ha. However, if you're heading into hostile 270 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: territory and you need a man to lead other men 271 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: into battle, there aren't many men you would put ahead 272 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: of her non Cortes. You see, he was the third 273 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: expedition Spain landed in Mexico, and the other two ended 274 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: horrifically with Mayan arrows and spears sticking out of their faces. 275 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: And Cortez pretty much swindles his way into getting a fleet. 276 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,239 Speaker 1: He was authorized to have the fleet, and then as 277 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: they were pulling his authorization to have the fleet, he 278 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: murders the guy who was coming to tell him he 279 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: was unauthorized to have the fleet, hops on the ships 280 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: and says, see you, we'll be back in a few 281 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: He lands on Mexico, knowing the last two expeditions died, 282 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 1: Knowing he's surrounded by hostile people. Even though he really 283 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: doesn't know about the Aztecs yet, and he promptly burns 284 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: all of his ships except for one. The only reason 285 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: he left that one there was so he could ship 286 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: gold to the King of Spain and tell him, look, man, 287 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: I'm making you rich. You better, you better back me here. 288 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: He burnt all the others to show his men there 289 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: is no escape. There is nowhere to go. We're here 290 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 1: for gold, jack, we are here to conquer, and there 291 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: ain't no retreat. So I suggest you gird your loins. Boys, 292 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: that's actually really really cool, landing all your ships in 293 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: a hostile, unknown territory and burning them in front of 294 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: your men. Are you ready to Are you ready to roll? Now? Boys? 295 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: And the king of the Aztecs, a man by the 296 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: name of Montezuma, I know you've heard the name, gets 297 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: wind about these new people that got here, and he 298 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: sends some messengers and that doesn't go very well.

Here's 332 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: some gold for you. No need to come visit us. 333 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: We're good to go up here. Just wanted you to 334 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 1: give have some gifts and go on about your way. Now, 335 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: something you need to understand about Cortez, about the Spanish 336 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: at this time, about the French at this time, about 337 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: the English at this time. This is the era where 338 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: they are colonizing the world, and oftentimes they're colonizing the 339 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: world in the name of God. This was that era 340 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: in human history, or I guess you could say that's 341 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 1: most of human history if you really want to look 342 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: at it, where religion kind of got forced to merge 343 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: with your own purposes. I'm not even one of these 344 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: anti colonists guys. You know, if you want to alize somebody, look, 345 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: that's how they conquered the world. That's why we have 346 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: America today. We have all these these wonderful things we 347 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: have because somebody a long time ago came and call 348 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: anize the place. I'm not I'm not one of those dudes, 349 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: you know. I'm not. But it was pretty violent, pretty 350 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: violence way of life, a pretty violent way to go 351 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: about your business. Now again, I'm also not one of 352 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: those guys who thinks violence is wrong. I think that 353 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: is an absolutely absurd, absurd, modern day soft way to 354 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 1: look at life. It's not preferred, but violence has called 355 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: for all the time. How do you think we got 356 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: rid of Hitler with some nice letters? We went and 357 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: shot Germans in the face. How do you think we 358 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: stopped Japan? We went in bayoneted a lot of Japanese people, 359 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: a lot of them. In fact, we dropped napalm on 360 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: Tokyo and burned a hundred thousand men, women and children 361 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: to death. We did that the United States of America. 362 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: And unlike your history teacher, I'm not even mad about it. 363 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: That's war. That's how things go. So, like I said, 364 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: violence is not well, they're they're violent. They must have 365 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: been evil. I'm not saying that. But the whole expand 366 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: the world for king and country and Catholicism thing oftentimes 367 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: merged perfectly with expand the world for gold and you know, privilege. 368 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: Everybody wants to be rich and famous, both in fifteen 369 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: nineteen and in the year twenty twenty. That's not a 370 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: new concept. And the Aztecs is the same thing too. 371 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: You know, we look at that from the Spanish point 372 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: of view. Ah, they were abused in Catholicism. Do you 373 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: think some of the Aztecs conquering all their neighbors, you know, 374 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: just because they needed or human sacrifice? Do you think 375 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: some of that may have been they wanted more territory, 376 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: they wanted more slaves, they wanted more wealth. Of course 377 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: they were doing the same thing. Of course they were, Hey, 378 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we gotta go take these people over Look, 379 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: the gods demanded, do we or do we not need 380 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: human sacrifice here? That's what I thought. No, I understand 381 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: they have some goods. We're gonna end up trading. That's fine, 382 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: But that's a side. Now, Cortez was there for gold, 383 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: he was there for wealth and fame. And remember Cortes 384 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: was there illegally, very much illegally. That's part of the 385 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: reason he burned the boats. There is no return for 386 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: Cortes unless he returns with a lot of money for 387 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: the kings. So the king says, you know what, I 388 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: actually just decided it was legal. Good work, Hernan, And 389 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 1: he knows this, he knows this very well. He's very 390 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: open about it. So mante Zuma sends him some gold. Cortez, 391 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: they kind of slap around and abuse the guy's Montezuma 392 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: sends him, and they absolutely terrify the guy's Montezuma sends him. 393 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: They fire off a cannon. Try to picture what a 394 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: cannon looks, sounds, and smells like. If you're a human 395 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: being who's never seen anything bigger than maybe a bow 396 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: and arrow, try to imagine. Try to imagine for a 397 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: moment what a horse looks like to you, and big horses. 398 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: The Spanish rode big horses. Try to imagine what a 399 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: big horse looks like to you. If all you've ever 400 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: seen is a small dog, that's all you've ever seen. 401 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: In your life as far as the larger animals go. 402 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: Besides you know, jaguars and such, and all of a 403 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: sudden you have a guy riding up to you on 404 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: horseback and armor firing off a cannon. Yeah, the Aztecs 405 00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: went running back to Montezuma with reports of oh, this 406 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: is not good. But here's the deal. Cortez only had 407 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: about five hundred dudes. A little over five hundred dudes. 408 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: There were something like forty thousand Aztec warriors at this time. 409 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: Muskets or no muskets, swords or no swords. Montezuma should 410 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: win this fight. Oh and Cortez had dogs. They had 411 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: war dogs, which I would love to have seen war dogs. 412 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: I'm not totally sure. I would love to have seen 413 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: one in action, because that is not a pleasant way 414 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: to go. That psychopath in Korea feeds people to dogs 415 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: because it's supposed to be so horrific when you get 416 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: fed to the dogs. The reasons it's horrific is dogs 417 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: do not go for the juggular like cats. It's actually 418 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: not the end of the world. If you got eaten 419 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: by a tiger, he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna choke you. 420 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: Out quickly. He's gonna wrap his teeth around in your 421 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: throat and you're gone. The dogs are gonna eat you 422 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: from the feed or wherever they get you. So a big, 423 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: armored up war dog was probably pretty much crap your 424 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: pants mode for any warrior who faced something like that, 425 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you would think it was a monster, 426 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: right right? Is this an Avengers movie? What is this? 427 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: Cortez makes his way up to nachet Land, And if 428 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: you're in any way fascinated by this story, I'm not 429 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: sure I've ever skipped over as many amazing battles and 430 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: moments as I just skipped over. When I fast forwarded 431 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: from Cortez landing on the shore to getting up to 432 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: the actual Aztec capital. There's more political intrigue and backstabbing, 433 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: and this tribe tries to kill him, this tribe saves him. 434 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: Cortez is politically maneuvering. It is amazing. It is an 435 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: amazing story. I would highly recommend you consume everything you 436 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: can on it. Let me see, I'd like to plug 437 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: other people whenever I can. I remember Danielli. Ballelli has 438 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: a History on Fire podcast about this. It's like five 439 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: two hour episodes. Listen to every single one of them. 440 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: If an interests you, I love it. Someone else did 441 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: a podcast on it, and it's gonna drive me crazy. 442 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna start learning to post the things I 443 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: read to give you guys some more details because some 444 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: of you are detail freaks and I don't have time 445 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: to get into exists not a history show kind of, 446 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: I guess in the way it is a little Cortez 447 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: gets up to the capitol, and why did he go 448 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: to the capitol because Montezuma send him gold. Cortez gets 449 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: into the capitol, they basically think he's a god. Legitimately, 450 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: that of course, goes south quickly once the Spanish do 451 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: enough raping and pillaging of the Aztec culture, and the 452 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: Aztecs don't take too kindly to the Spanish, saying, um, 453 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: could could you could you stop with the human sacrifices 454 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: that's actually horrific in an affront to God. So there's 455 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: clearly a cultural clash going on here, and it goes 456 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: south really quickly. And again I skipped over a million 457 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: really really really cool things, really cool things. In fact, 458 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: there was this one thing in the city square. All right, 459 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: hang on, ogs play I have my phone sitting here 460 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: beside me. It's sitting on the table, and that's no problem, right. 461 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: It's what you do. You set your phone down on 462 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: the restaurant table, on your desk at work, various surfaces 463 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: throughout the day, you touch a million things, and then 464 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: you grab your phone, you're talking it. You put your 465 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: phone back, and this happens over time without disinfecting it, 466 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: and before you know it, your phone is full of bacteria. 467 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: On average, your phone has more bacteria on it than 468 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: a public restroom. That is nasty. That's really nasty. And 469 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: you don't have to drown it in chemicals.

I have to 477 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: tell a quick side story. I was gonna try to 478 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: hit this from just a thirty thousand point view, but 479 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: point of view tho foot few shot up. I've only 480 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: been doing this like a year and a half. I 481 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: went to community college. I have almost three years of 482 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 1: community college credits. I don't say words correctly. In fact, 483 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: I'm positive I've massacred the pronunciation of virtually every day 484 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: I've viewed so far. Today, I'm positive I have. And 485 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: I don't care. You are going to have to learn 486 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: to work around me. It's really really more of a 487 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: burden for you. But remember when I said Cortez was 488 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: there illegally. He was there really, really really illegally, especially 489 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: in the eyes of the governor of Cuba, a Spanish 490 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: governor obviously, who Cortez basically gave the middle finger too 491 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: when he took off from Mexico. That's what's so amazing 492 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: about this whole thing. It wasn't even supposed to be there. 493 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm just I'm gonna go conquer some stuff 494 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,320 Speaker 1: what I'm not allowed. Yeah, I'm going anyway. We'll be fine. 495 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: We're just gonna go take on the most powerful people 496 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: over here. Give me some dogs. That's all I need 497 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 1: is some dogs. I'm taking ruffles. I don't know why. 498 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: That part has always made me laugh. What he did 499 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 1: is amazing. It is incredible, and he did it without permission. 500 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: He did it without backing for the most part. So 501 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: Cortez is into not chet Land. He's in the capital 502 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 1: with Montezuma, and things are not They're not going great, 503 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 1: but things haven't devolved yet into all out war. We're 504 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: heading there quickly, and Cortez gets word, Yeah, the governor 505 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: of Cuba just landed a lot of Spaniards here, and 506 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: they're not here for the Aztecs. They're all here to 507 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 1: kill or capture you. Right now, Cortez, because he's Cortez, 508 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: says all right, well, I'm gonna go handle this. Alvarado, 509 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: it was one of his lieutenants. Hey, budd, you were 510 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: in charge. Just just keep the piece while I'm gone. Okay, 511 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go handle the invasion. Kick the crap out 512 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 1: of these guys. You stay here. Just don't ruffle too 513 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: many feathers. Cool. Cool. He takes off and he's not 514 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: gone for thirty seconds, and Alvarado just has a massive 515 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: massacre of a lot of Aztecs in the city. It 516 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: should be noted while Cortez was gone, he went not 517 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: only beat the Spaniards who far outnumbered him, who just 518 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: landed the ones he didn't beat. He flat out convinced 519 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: them to join his side because he was gonna give 520 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: them a lot of goal. So he goes and fight. 521 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: He goes to fight the guys who were supposed to 522 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 1: get him, and he's just like, or we could all 523 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: get rich, and the guys were like, you know, I 524 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 1: actually like your plan better. Your plans way better. Screw this. 525 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: He takes off and by the time he gets back 526 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,879 Speaker 1: to the city, as I said, Alvarado had a big 527 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 1: bit of a massacre. A quick side note on the massacre. 528 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: There are a bunch of different sources saying different things 529 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: why it happened. Alvarado swears up and down that it 530 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: happened for two reasons. One, he said he got word 531 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 1: and he very well may have. He got word that 532 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: the Aztecs were planning on massacring the Spanish at this 533 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: big festival they were having. They were going to lock 534 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: off the city square and massacre the Spanish. So we 535 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: just massacred him first, was his rationale. And he also said, 536 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: as soon as you left Cortes, they started sacrificing a 537 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: bunch of people again, and it was horrific and we 538 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: got mad. But none of that matters at this point 539 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,320 Speaker 1: in time, because Cortez gets back to the capitol city 540 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: and things are going really, really poorly. Now, eventually Montezuma dies, 541 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: stands up, gives a speech to the people telling them 542 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: to calm down. By now they realized montezu was just 543 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: Cortez's puppet. Somebody chucks a rock and dogs him in 544 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: the head and kills him. Now they have a huge 545 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: problem on their hands. Cortez and them have to fight 546 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 1: their way out of the city. It's actually called the 547 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: Knight of Sorrows. It alone is something I'm going to 548 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: do a show on one day. A fascinating, fascinating fight. 549 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: When you picture four hundred, five hundred can quiss the 550 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: doors fighting their way over the causeways out of a 551 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: city of half a million mad Aztecs. I mean, it's 552 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: the thought of it is sweet, right, and armor and 553 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: swords and muskets and dogs, and except all of them 554 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:47,280 Speaker 1: didn't make it. And sadly for the ones who didn't 555 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: make it out, they didn't die either. Do you remember 556 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 1: at the very beginning when I was talking about the 557 00:38:54,560 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: worst pre death you can possibly imagine, Well, this is 558 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: your worst nightmare. You see, they captured. I believe it 559 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 1: was seventy some Spanish soldiers on the way out. Cortez 560 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: and all his dudes were now camped outside of the city, 561 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: so they could see and hear this his men screaming, yelling, crying, 562 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: pleading for their lives. And then they got to witness 563 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 1: their own men. Well, they got to witness what so 564 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: many thousands, tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of 565 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: other people went through what it was like to be 566 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: sacrificed to an Aztec god. And it was not a 567 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,879 Speaker 1: pleasant experience, and I mean not a pleasant experience at all. 568 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,319 Speaker 1: And so picture this. You were a Spanish soldier, you 569 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: got captured by the Aztecs. You know what the Aztecs 570 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: due to captives. You know what's coming for you. And 571 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 1: you wake up one morning in an Aztec prison cell 572 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: and you hear the drums beating, and you know they're 573 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: beating for you. You wake up and an Aztec prison 574 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:46,720 Speaker 1: cell if you even slept at all, which how could 575 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:53,280 Speaker 1: you sleep, and you hear these loud, loud drums pounding, 576 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: and you have a pretty good idea what's coming. You've 577 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: heard the story is in fact right when you showed 578 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: up in the capital city. You saw what has been 579 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: described by several people as a tower of skulls beside 580 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,800 Speaker 1: the temple. And they get you out of your prison 581 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: cell and they lead you over to the bottom of 582 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 1: the steps of this temple. And this temple is tall, 583 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: and these steps are steep, and the drums are coming 584 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,279 Speaker 1: from up top, and they're loud, and the crowd is 585 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:35,879 Speaker 1: cheering and yelling, and they began to lead you up 586 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: the stairs. And as you get up the stairs, the 587 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: drums are getting a lot louder, and finally you get 588 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: to the top of the stairs and you see a 589 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: priest there and he's covered in blood, and there's a 590 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 1: horrific looking statue of some Aztec god. And they begin 591 00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 1: to take off your clothes. Hang on the Jesse Kelly Show. 592 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:44,919 Speaker 1: This is the Jesse Kelly Show. You're at the top 593 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,439 Speaker 1: of the temple and the drums are pounding right beside you. 594 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 1: Now you see the priests covered in blood. And I 595 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: should have mentioned before you started walking up the stairs 596 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 1: to the temple, you looked around the bottom of the 597 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: stairs and there were arms and legs and torsos laying 598 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,879 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the stairs. They march you up 599 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: to the top, strip off all of your clothes, put 600 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: on some sort of head dress, and force you to 601 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 1: dance as the crowd cheers. Now, remember when I told 602 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,720 Speaker 1: you Cortez and the dudes who got out were still 603 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 1: close by. They were so close by they could see it, 604 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 1: they could watch it. And these are not strangers. Try 605 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: to imagine how close you would be to the men 606 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 1: you have fought with through the Mexican jungle for the 607 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 1: last year, and you're watching helplessly as he puts on 608 00:43:55,120 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 1: a headdress and dances. They then grab him. They lay 609 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 1: him down on a stone platform, table, whatever you want 610 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: to call it. They take an obsidian knife. While he's 611 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,760 Speaker 1: still alive, they carve his heart out of his chest 612 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 1: like it's Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom, and 613 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:26,359 Speaker 1: they hold it up. They then chop off his arms 614 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,400 Speaker 1: and legs, his head, and they chuck it all down 615 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 1: those stairs. He just walked up where the people roast 616 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: it and eat his arms and legs. It was part 617 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 1: of their ritual. Oh, and the Aztecs were trying to 618 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,280 Speaker 1: send a message with this one, so they took the heads. 619 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 1: Some sources say five, some say ten. They took some 620 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: of the heads of the Spanish guys. They just killed 621 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,839 Speaker 1: and cut off and threw the heads into Cortez's camp 622 00:44:55,880 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: so who men could see them. But I hope the 623 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 1: Aztecs enjoyed that day because that was one of the 624 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 1: last ones they were going to have like that. What 625 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: else comes on a Spanish ship to the New World, 626 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:22,840 Speaker 1: besides the men and the armor, the bullets, the black powder, 627 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 1: the sails, the dogs, the horses. What else is almost 628 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: undoubtedly on that ship? Everybody knows, right, you know something 629 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: tip of your tongue disease. The Spanish brought smallpox. And 630 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 1: it may be up in the air whether Cortez and 631 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: his group actually could have conquered the Aztecs without this, 632 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: I doubt it, although even if he didn't, what he 633 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: did accomplish was nothing short of amazing. But smallpox hit 634 00:45:55,080 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 1: that capitol and wiped out they estimate half of the population. 635 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: And so many people who died didn't even die necessarily 636 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 1: of smallpox. They died of starvation because they had smallpox, 637 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 1: and everyone else who could bring them food was dead, 638 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: and they laid there in their beds and died of starvation. 639 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna skip right to the end part here because 640 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 1: there's so much I could tell of this story. The 641 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 1: Spanish win. The Spanish win big time. They have a 642 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: huge naval battle on the lake between the Spanish boats 643 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 1: that have cannons on them and the canoes of the Aztecs. 644 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 1: Like I said, this is I'm tired of having to 645 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,279 Speaker 1: say this, or I guess I should say I'm tired 646 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 1: of having this thought. Maybe I just need to go 647 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:55,400 Speaker 1: be a producer. But that HBO hasn't made a twelve 648 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 1: part series, I mean, my goodness, you could get two 649 00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 1: seasons out of this that they haven't made a huge 650 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 1: Cortez conquer of the Aztec series is a crime. That 651 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 1: is a scene right out of the movies, the Aztecs 652 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 1: launching a bunch of canoes to have a big lake 653 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 1: battle with Cortez and his guys that have cannons as 654 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:22,360 Speaker 1: crazy crazy Cortez and his guys end up winning. The 655 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 1: Aztecs are no more game set match. Now, what was 656 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 1: one of the main main reasons the Aztecs don't exist anymore? 657 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 1: What was one of the main reasons they were brought down? 658 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,799 Speaker 1: Do you remember that story about the guy who gave 659 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:53,799 Speaker 1: away his daughter to the Aztecs. Do you remember when 660 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,840 Speaker 1: I told you about how Montezuma sent Cortez a little 661 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,439 Speaker 1: gold to make him go away? What are those two 662 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:12,320 Speaker 1: stories have in common? Anybody, Chris Mitchell? You don't understand 663 00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:19,839 Speaker 1: the nature of your opponent. And if you don't understand 664 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 1: the nature of your opponent, you are doomed, absolutely doomed. 665 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:39,799 Speaker 1: The Aztecs they somehow didn't understand the nature of who 666 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 1: they were dealing with when they took some guy's daughter. 667 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,399 Speaker 1: It's one thing to have your culture. You know, you 668 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 1: have a culture, right your Aztecs. Let's say it wasn't horrific. 669 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 1: But let's say you're just Aztecs and you have your 670 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,720 Speaker 1: culture and you like it. It's a it's a good culture. 671 00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: That's fine, But you have to be aware that, buddy, 672 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:10,319 Speaker 1: that's not everyone else's culture. How are you that unaware? Yes, 673 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,879 Speaker 1: you're horrific. You believe in blood, you believe in human sacrifice. 674 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 1: But you're out here doing diplomacy. Again, these were not idiots. 675 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,799 Speaker 1: You're doing diplomacy. You finally get it, an alliance with 676 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,839 Speaker 1: somebody powerful, and you flay his daughter's skin off her 677 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,400 Speaker 1: body and wear it in front of him. That is 678 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:36,880 Speaker 1: weapons grade unaware and the Spanish land on your shores. 679 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 1: Everybody knows what the Spanish are there for, and you 680 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:49,320 Speaker 1: show them you have gold, thinking that will buy them away. 681 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 1: I will look at our current state of affairs, and 682 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,000 Speaker 1: I'm talking about our current state of affairs. What I'm 683 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 1: talking about is the Republican Party talking about you, talking 684 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:15,799 Speaker 1: about me. I'm looking at these bills they're passing, these 685 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:23,000 Speaker 1: huge spending bills, these new bills they're considering. I'm looking 686 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 1: at shoot, I'm even looking at bar coming out and saying, ah, 687 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,799 Speaker 1: Biden and Obama, there's there's gonna be no investigation there. 688 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,800 Speaker 1: And I see a hundred years of government growth. And 689 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 1: let's be clear. You can argue both parties are pretty 690 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: much the same now, but let's be clear, there are 691 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,120 Speaker 1: two different schools of thought. America was found in on 692 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,960 Speaker 1: a limited, small federal government. That's what it was founded on, 693 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,279 Speaker 1: That's what it was supposed to be. The Democrat platform 694 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,840 Speaker 1: is increasing the size and scope of government. That is, 695 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,400 Speaker 1: every part of the Democrat platform points to that government 696 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,440 Speaker 1: meet needs more power, more control, needs to be bigger. 697 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: So you would think everything in the Republican platform and 698 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,040 Speaker 1: what they say is government needs to be smaller, less intrusive, 699 00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:20,520 Speaker 1: less powerful, more freedom for you. And yet for a 700 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:25,800 Speaker 1: hundred years, a hundred years, government has only grown under 701 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:30,280 Speaker 1: every president, Republican or Democrat. Now, how does that happen? 702 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:36,120 Speaker 1: How can that possibly happen? Because Republicans do not understand 703 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 1: the nature of leftism. Leftism is a dominating religion. It 704 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:48,360 Speaker 1: is not an opposing political party. That means Nancy Pelosi 705 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 1: when she proposes a three trillion dollar bill with eight 706 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 1: million Democrat goodies in it that she knows is going 707 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,280 Speaker 1: to get rejected, and Republicans are standing up there say 708 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 1: this, this this out righteous, this is dead on arrival, and 709 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,840 Speaker 1: everybody's like yeah, Republicans, tell them, I'm the one sitting 710 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,760 Speaker 1: back saying that freaking Nancy Pelosi out foxed them all again. 711 00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 1: And I'll explain what I mean, and just to say, 712 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 1: you don't have to dip forever. You know that, Ryan, 713 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,400 Speaker 1: you don't have to smoke forever. And the reason I 714 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,799 Speaker 1: say it like that is I have been that guy. 715 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,200 Speaker 1: I've been that guy I dipped for so long. And 716 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 1: what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit. 717 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 1: It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man, 718 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,760 Speaker 1: I don't need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey. 719 00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,720 Speaker 1: And I would fail time and time and time again. 720 00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,720 Speaker 1: I tried things like the patch that didn't work, gum 721 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 1: of sunflower seeds. I tried at all. It's just a 722 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,040 Speaker 1: matter of finding the right thing to help you quit. 723 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 1: That's Ake's mint Chew.
