1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: You don't have to dip forever. You know that, Ryan, 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: you don't have to smoke forever. And the reason I 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: say it like that is I have been that guy. 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: I've been that guy. I dipped for so long, and 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit. 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man, 7 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: I don't need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey. 8 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: And I would fail time and time and time again. 9 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: I tried things like the patch, it didn't work, gum, 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: sunflower seeds. I tried at all. It's just a matter 11 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: of finding the right thing to help you quit. That's 12 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: Jake's mintschew.

On the questions today? We have the best 26 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: questions we've ever had. Somebody wants to know. I see 27 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: I talk a lot about national divorce, right how I 28 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: feel like we should get a national divorce. We've grown apart. 29 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: We should separate Fancy Schmancy lawyer as a serious question 30 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: about national defense. After national divorce, we'll talk about it. 31 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: What if I had daughters instead of sons? What would 32 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: I be doing differently? Someone wants to know that another 33 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: guy get this one, Chris, and I know there are 34 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: people going through this because I get emails all the 35 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: time like this. Another guy has found himself a bit 36 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: estranged from family and friends after their conduct during COVID. 37 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: How should he handle himself going forward? Like I said, 38 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: it's a crazy, crazy fun day. Would I pass a 39 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: cop if the cop wasn't doing the speed limit or 40 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: barely doing this speed limit? I actually have a personal 41 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: story to tell about that. It's gonna be a great 42 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: day on an Ask Doctor Jesse Friday, certainly better than 43 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: it was for the Aztecs back in the fifteen hundreds. 44 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: You see that, Chris, You see how masterful that was. 45 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: Not just anybody can do that, make that transition what 46 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: it's a special talent. All right now, seriousness, let's tell 47 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: our Aztec conquistador story and then we'll dig into your 48 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: questions on an Ask Doctor Jesse Friday. And before I forget, 49 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: let me just clarify something right now. I'm not having 50 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: any guests today. I don't think I'm going to have 51 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: any guests again ever on Friday. And in fact, I 52 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: think I'm paring down every show to one guest. I 53 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna do that. There'll obviously be exceptions, but 54 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: for the most part, let's be honest. Do you want 55 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: to hear me? But all right, fifteen twenty, fifteen hundreds, 56 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: let's do a little brief set up for you. Because 57 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: I haven't done a conquistador story in quite some time. 58 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: I realize we have a bunch of new listeners. And 59 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: for all you new listeners, allow me to just say, 60 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: right out of the gates, You're welcome, all right. Way, 61 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: Spain is conquering the Western Hemisphere, and we've talked about 62 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: this before, it's worth looking up. I would look Spain 63 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: at the height of its empire Spanish map during the 64 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: colonial period. If you looked up something like that online. 65 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: What I'm getting to is, eventually you will see a 66 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: map of all the territory Spain controlled in the height 67 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: of its power, and when you look at that map, 68 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: your jaw will drop. I knew they controlled a lot. 69 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: Then I looked at the map and I thought to myself, 70 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: how in the world is Spain a second rate power today? 71 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: Maybe second rate, by the way is being generous. How 72 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: is Spain? How Spain basically a third rate power today? 73 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: Remember we're talking about six hundred years ago, not even 74 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: I understand that's a little bit long, but the over 75 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: the span of history, it's not that long. Six hundred 76 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: years ago, they owned the Western Hemisphere and Spain, well, 77 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: Spain had a purpose when it went sailing abroad, and 78 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: Spain's purpose was fairly straightforward. They were in extremely and 79 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: I guess probably still are, but they were an extremely 80 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: Catholic nation, let's just call it Christian. To make things 81 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: easier for us to understand. Here. They wanted people to 82 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: convert to Christianity, and they wanted gold, and there really 83 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: wasn't a third thing. In fact, most people will say 84 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: that's probably why they ultimately failed. When they colonized the place. 85 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: Britain always colonized the place, right, they just mastered it. 86 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: When Britain colonized you, you knew it. They were going 87 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: to come in, take over, do whatever they had to do, 88 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: and then they were going to build schools in cities 89 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: and towns, and they were just going to move in 90 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: because Britain always understood, which is a historical fact, possession 91 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: is nine tenths of the law. I don't care that 92 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: you landed on a beach and planet a flag and 93 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: said this belongs to Spain. I have a town here 94 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: and now a fort. This actually belongs to me. What 95 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: are you going to do about it? That's the smarter 96 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: way to do it. Historically speaking, anyway, Spain is in 97 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: the fifteen hundreds. Remember remember when Columbus sailed everybody fourteen 98 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: ninety two and all that other stuff from the sound. 99 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: So we're right in that era. Spain is all over 100 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: the Western hemisphere. They're in the Caribbean very much at 101 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: this time. In fact, that our story begins in Cuba 102 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: and they have governors. Now that you have a guy 103 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: in charge of Cuba and this look, he's going to 104 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: administer Cuba on behalf of Spain. He's gonna pillage it 105 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 1: for all it's worth. All the sugar cube has always 106 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: been huge on sugar, and he's going to dig around 107 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: whenever the opportunity arises for more gold and more glory. 108 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: Wants to please the Spanish king. Now on Cuba, there's 109 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: a man by the name of her Non Cortez, one 110 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: of the most underrated historical figures in the history of mankind. 111 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: What this man accomplished in his lifetime is staggering, Including 112 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: our story today, which I will get to pretty much 113 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: right now. Cortez is well, let's just say he's probably 114 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: not the most morally sound man. And look, remember I'm 115 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: not saying that from a position of judgment. There's nobody 116 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: more morally bankrupt than me. But Cortez was a bit 117 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: rough around the edges, you would say, morally, he was 118 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: awesome with a sword. Even the men who hated him 119 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: talked about how great he was with a sword. He 120 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: was absurdly brave and almost I mean, this may be 121 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: his number one quality, depending on how do we want 122 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: to look at it. His ability to manipulate men and 123 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: ben men to his will. With manipulation is I don't 124 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: know that he's ever been beat. What I mean by 125 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: that is this he manages to get permission from the 126 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: governor to take an expedition over to Mexico. Now Mexico 127 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: obviously wasn't Mexico quite yet. Mexico had a ton of 128 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: indigenous tribes, Indian tribes, however you want to call it, 129 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: the Mayans, and the gigantic tribe, the Aztecs, and they 130 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: had all kinds of other tribes, which we get to 131 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: in a moment. We already talked about Mayans and Aztecs. 132 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: When it comes to Mexico, just like America, there were 133 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: different tribes all over the place. The Aztecs, you have 134 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: to understand this, they dominated Mexico. They dominated anybody they wanted. 135 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: They were huge, they were militarily fierce. They had these 136 00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: gigantic clubs that they would put razors, sharp citian rock in. 137 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: They were I mean, they were just the very very 138 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: fierce people. War. They loved war and to their credit. 139 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: And you know, I hate the Aztecs because of something 140 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: I'll get to in a moment. But to their credit, 141 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: they were a fairly sophisticated society. The Europeans, the Spanish 142 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: who eventually got to the capital city of the Aztecs, 143 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: they almost all said, this is the most beautiful city 144 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: in the world, Like, more beautiful than anything in Europe. 145 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: These people, they were clean, they bathed multiple times a day. 146 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: The Aztecs did just the really advanced society. I just 147 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: despised them because of the whole child sacrifice thing. The 148 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: Aztecs were absolutely obsessed with sacrificing people alive. They would 149 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: lay you down on a stone on top of a 150 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: huge temple, oftentimes after they made you sing and dance. 151 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: Then they would tie you down and cut your heart 152 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: out with an obsidian knife while you were alive. And 153 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: when they were done with that, it would chuck your 154 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: body down the stairs and people would eat you. Now 155 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: that alone is bad enough, but the fact that they 156 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: would do it to kids often it takes it to 157 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: a level that I can't forgive. Like I say, I 158 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: don't do this. Oh, all cultures are equal thing. No, 159 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: you have a garbage culture. If at any point in 160 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: time you find yourself sacrificing a child, you should really 161 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: look around and say, wow, I really took a wrong 162 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: turn somewhere. So where are we going? Where? You're gonna 163 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: have to buckle up and find out. Also, National Defense 164 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: against China hangu.

So we're 195 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: all over the place today. But back to our Aztec 196 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: story before I continue on on, I mentioned the child 197 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: sacrifice human sacrifice thing. Chris has asked that I tell 198 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: my second favorite history story of all times. Since we're 199 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: talking about Aztecs, I'll go ahead and lay it out 200 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: there again. This is a true story that we think 201 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: is a true story from the Aztecs. The Aztecs, before 202 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: they were the biggest people on the block, they were 203 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: really just mercenaries lots of the time in Mexico, really 204 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: a mercenary tribe. They were great at fighting, kind of 205 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: thought of to be a bit barbaric. Oh, the Aztecs 206 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: a little bloodthirsty, but oh we need we need some 207 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: people killed. Hey, astex do you want to come join us? 208 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: But the Aztecs are certainly on the rise. Whenever you're 209 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: a military power, eventually you're on their eyes because you 210 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: keep looking around and thinking, why can't I take these 211 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: people over? Well, most of the history of the world 212 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: is powerful nations cementing their relationship through marriages. You've seen it, 213 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: you know the story, hand over your son, hand over 214 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: your daughter, but not you know, to be tortured to death, 215 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: hand him over so he can marry my daughter. And oh, look, 216 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: we're one big, happy family now that kind of thing. Well, 217 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: there's a kingdom out there that's more powerful than the Aztecs. 218 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: But the Aztecs are on the rise, and this more 219 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: powerful kingdom says, hey, we need to get let's get 220 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: ourselves together. We should be together, right, and the powerful 221 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: kingdom they take the princess, the daughter of the king, 222 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: and they marry her off to the Aztecs. Well, I 223 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: mentioned how I hate the Aztecs because of their child 224 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: sacrifice human sacrifice culture. But look, if you have to 225 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: defend that, it was part of their culture. It was 226 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: their belief system. It's simply what they believed and it 227 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: was sacred to them. So they took the princess and 228 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: instead of marrying her, they killed her and then flayed 229 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: her skin off. Oh wait, this isn't even close to 230 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: the worst part. Then the powerful kingdom comes. You know, 231 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a big visit, one big family. Let's 232 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: have a visit together, Let's have a big dinner. We're 233 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: all one big family, right in. The Aztecs are all sure, 234 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: come on over. The king gets in there eventually wants 235 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: to see his daughter who he had married off to 236 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: the Aztecs, and Aztec priest comes out wearing the daughter's 237 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: skin on his body. The king obviously freaks out, what 238 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: did you do to my daughter. I mean, you can 239 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: imagine that would be a bit toughest swallow. And the 240 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: best part of this story is this the Aztecs are 241 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: absolutely lost as to what his problem is. What is 242 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: your deal, bro? This was an honor? How about thank you? 243 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: So would I say a bit of a different culture, 244 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: That's what I mean, a bit of a different culture. 245 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: Back to Cortez. Cortez gets permission to go explore in Mexico, 246 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: and then the governor finds out some things he doesn't 247 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: like about Cortez. I'm not going into the whole thing, 248 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: but tries to withdraw the permission, but the guy he's 249 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: sent to withdraw the permission ended up dead in a 250 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: ditch with some stab wounds, so he didn't actually formally 251 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: withdraw the commission for Cortez. But Cortes takes off, knowing 252 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: he technically is not even allowed to do this. He's 253 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: already illegal. This whole expedition is illegal. And he takes 254 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: off and he lands in Mexico with six hundred men. 255 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: That's it, six hundred men. Now they have Spanish modern arms, armor, 256 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: they have firearms, they have cannons, they have horses, they 257 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: have war dogs, armored war dogs. Which were supposed to 258 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: be really really horrifying, and Cortez proceeds, and I could say, look, 259 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: I could spend nine hours on this story. It's that 260 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: great to manipulate and fight his way through all of Mexico. 261 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: Most of the time, they do it in the cockiest 262 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: way possible, too. They will storm right into a town, 263 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: a massively powerful Indian tribe of some kind. They'll just 264 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: storm right in and they'll essentially read a decree saying, congratulations, 265 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: you're all now servants of the Spanish king, and you 266 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: better start worshiping Jesus or we'll hang every one of 267 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: you savages. That I mean it was. It was like that. 268 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: It was like, congratulations on giving up your god and 269 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: having a new king. You're welcome, and it's successful. Now. 270 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: They get in fights, They bleed, they get in many battles, 271 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: men die. They're in the jungle, so there's disease all 272 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: the time. One cool, one pool part about it, and 273 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: this is I hope you're not eating right now, so 274 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: just buckle up for this. One. One cool part is 275 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: when they had wounds that needed to be closed, they 276 00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: would slice fat human fat off of dead bodies and 277 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: place the fat over the wound and then light it 278 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: on fire to calorize the wound. I mean, that's these 279 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: are the kind of men we're dealing with here, hard 280 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: brave men. And they're there on behalf of God and 281 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: on behalf of gold. And I'm not being dismissive of 282 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: either one of those things. Some guys were obviously just 283 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: there for the gold. Some guys were there for God. 284 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: Some guys were there for both. I'm here for Jesus, 285 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: and if I make a little money, that's fine too. 286 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: Courtez is stomping all through Mexico looking for gold. Show 287 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: me this massive pile of gold, this city of gold, 288 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: this cave of gold. And he knows to his credit, Listen, employees, 289 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: he knows to his credits. If he can make the 290 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: boss money, that whole illegal expedition thing really won't matter. 291 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: What I mean by that is, if he can be 292 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: sending a ship or two back to the Spanish King 293 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: and saying, hey, I know this expedition is technically illegal, 294 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: but did I show you how much gold I just 295 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: brought you? The Spanish King is probably going to be 296 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: pretty lenient in the end. Well, this is putting the 297 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: conquistadors on a collision course with the big man on 298 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: the block, the Aztecs. Eventually they meet, they test each 299 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: other out. The king of the Aztecs, he's gonna play 300 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: a little part here as I try to wrap this 301 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: story up. His name is Montezuma. Yes that Montezuma's Revenge 302 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: the stomach illness. Yes, that's from this guy's name. Montezuma 303 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: is the King of the Aztecs. He is trying to 304 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: warn off the Spanish. He doesn't one want the Spanish 305 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: in his capital. And I'm gonna screw up the name 306 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: of this tech capital. It's the last time I'm going 307 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: to say, because I cannot seem to say this word 308 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: to Titland. It's tonach tit Land. It's it's really hard. 309 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: I know, it's it's it's like it's like that. It 310 00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: was essentially built on a lake with floating gardens and 311 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: beautiful pyramids where of course people were sacrificed. But again, 312 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: this was the city that was supposed to be absurdly 313 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: beautiful at added causeways connecting it to land. No, you 314 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: can't see it today because it's where modern day Mexico 315 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: City is. But Montezuma is trying to keep them out. 316 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: He should have kept them out. Eventually, the Spanish come in, 317 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: and they come in as if they're friends. Oh, my 318 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: friend Montezuma, and Montezuma is all my body Cortez, and 319 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: really they hate each other and they know they're out 320 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: for blood. Cortez. Again, the guy's just the remarkable human being. 321 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: He eventually kidnaps Montezuma, who's a god to his people. 322 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: He kidnaps Montezuma in the city and just keeps him 323 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: there as kind of a nicely fed prisoner. Oh sure, 324 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: have some food. Oh yeah, you're the king. Oh no, no, 325 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: you can't go for a walk. I mean not without 326 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: not without our people going with you. But Cortez is 327 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: master for manipulation. Now we are fast forwarding through a 328 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: million things here, right, Cortez has a bunch of Indian 329 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: tribes who are on his side. Why are they on 330 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: his side? Well, the theme really of our story today 331 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: is culture has consequences. Why are they on his side? 332 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: You'll find out in a second. I'll try to wrap 333 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: this up. And then it's asked doctor Jesse time, hang uh, 334 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: it is the Jesse Kelly Show eight seven seven three 335 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: seven seven four three seven three Jesse at Jesse Kelly 336 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: show dot com on an Ask Doctor Jesse Friday, my 337 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: big announcement. You have not missed it. It is not 338 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: coming today. I don't think it is coming next week. 339 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking. What day next week? It's 340 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: funny you should ask I had the same question and 341 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: have not gotten an answer yet. We may have it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 342 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: or Friday. But it's coming next week, hopefully earlier. And yeah, 343 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: there are big changes coming. Do not freak out. They're 344 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: all good changes. You're going to enjoy them. I'm going 345 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: to enjoy them. Very big things are happening. It's it's 346 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: frankly unbelievable, but anyway, it's good. We're doing a story 347 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: right now about the Aztecs and the conquistadors, and then 348 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: we're moving on to your ask Doctor Jesse questions like 349 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: how would I girls different than I raised my boys 350 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: if we get the national divorce from the Communists, Like 351 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: I want what's our national defense look like? I'll lay 352 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: all that out here in just a few But Cortes 353 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: didn't just conquer all of Mexico and end up conquering 354 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: the Aztecs not to give way of the end of 355 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: the story, with six hundred men. Cortes did this with 356 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: lots and lots and lots of help, help from the 357 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: other Indian tribes. Now, why, oh why would an Indian 358 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: tribe help these new white faced people who really only 359 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: seem to care about gold and take a unique interest 360 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: in our women. Well, at least they're not sacrificing us. 361 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: You see, the Aztecs they would actually leave tribes alive, 362 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: almost like cattle, just so they could walk in whenever 363 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: they wanted and take people away to go sacrifice them 364 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: to the Aztec gods. As techs were that brutal, that bad. 365 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: Back to our story, Cortez is in the city to 366 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: notch tant Land, and he's really running the city by 367 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: this point in time because he's kidnapped the king the 368 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: Aztec people. As you can imagine, it's a city of 369 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: several hundred thousand people. The Aztec people are upset. There's 370 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: a lot of tension. But what are you going to 371 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: do about it? Right now? This Cortez guy is really good. 372 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: But Cortez finally gets word that he's got trouble on 373 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: the horizon. What's that trouble? Remember how the whole expedition 374 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: was illegal thing. You remember all that? Well, the governor 375 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: of Cuba decided, okay, I've had about enough of this. 376 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: This expedition is illegal. You all, you guys, gather up, 377 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: get on these boats, go over there and drag Cortez 378 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: back to me in chains or dead. This guy is 379 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: a trader and all these other things. Cortez gets word 380 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: that a large Spanish force has landed, and it's landed 381 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: aiming for him. So he has to make a choice, 382 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: and he makes it. He leaves a small, relatively small 383 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: contingent of his guys back into land, and he takes 384 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: off to go fight this rival Spanish army that lands 385 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: to stop him. Now, I'm not going to go over 386 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: that battle. That's actually a cool battle too. I could 387 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 1: go over you should know. Of course, in true Cortes fashion, 388 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: not only does he win the battle by the skin 389 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: of his teeth, but he manages to win over basically 390 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: the other army, not all of them, but they come 391 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: over and just join his side. It's the dude, isis 392 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: is absurd? So that all that went well, right, nice, 393 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: Let's go back to tench at Land and hang out 394 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: with some Indian chicks. And do whatever we want to do. Right, 395 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: It's life is good at not so much good. You see, 396 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: remember that small contingent he left behind. Well, the tension 397 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: was already rising before Cortez left town. And if you 398 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: have a bunch of people who are angry at you anyway, 399 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: when you have let's call it six hundred troops in 400 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: town and then five hundred and fifty of those troops 401 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: leave town, the tension between you and the fifty might 402 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: be a little bit more appealing to escalate that to violence. Right, 403 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: the men Cortez left behind, they supposedly, we say supposedly 404 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: because we don't know, they supposedly get word that the Aztecs, 405 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: who have a big festival coming up, are going to 406 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: use this festival as an excuse to rise up and 407 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: kill the Spanish and purge them from to notetat Land. 408 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: That's the intelligence they supposedly got. And the Spanish, I mean, 409 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,719 Speaker 1: the Spanish are not above torturing people for this information. 410 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. They tortured several of 411 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 1: the Aztecs. It's not as if the Aztecs were the 412 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: only brutal ones here. Long story short, the small contingent 413 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: he leaves behind, comes up with the plan. The plan 414 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: is simply, let's kill them before they kill us. They 415 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: wait until there's this big festival, and then they essentially 416 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: locked down the town square and slaughter people, slaughter the astex. 417 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: It is an absolute blood bath. The Aztecs understandably freak out. 418 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: And this is right about the time Cortez comes strolling 419 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: right back into town victorious, thinking life is good. Can 420 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,479 Speaker 1: you imagine that uncomfortable conversation he had to have with 421 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: the guy he left in charge. You know, the duty 422 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: left in charge was all Boss. It wasn't my fault 423 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: on my life. It's not my fault. Now again, in 424 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: another cool battle I'll have to tell you about another time, 425 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: the Spanish have to basically hold up in what I'll 426 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: call a fortress. It wasn't a fortress, but they have 427 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: to hold up hide out because the Aztecs have pretty 428 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,239 Speaker 1: much surrounded them and want them all dead. And there 429 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: are more than enough Aztecs to accomplish this feat. But 430 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: Cortez is not a man to lay down and die easily, 431 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: and he's not a man to have no plan. I 432 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: should say, they decide, here's what we're gonna do. Because 433 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: remember they have to go over the causeways to get 434 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 1: out of the city. They decide to sneak out at night. 435 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: They almost pull this off there, going over the causeways, 436 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: sneaking out at night, trying to get out of the 437 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: city so they don't all die in there. Boom, someone 438 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: spots them. I think it was an old woman. If 439 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: I remember it, I'm almost positive as a woman screams out. 440 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: The Aztecs swarm out, and now the Spanish have to 441 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: have this huge fight on the causeway where half of 442 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: them die. They have their men taken prisoner. It's this 443 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: terrible thing. Cortez is wounded multiple times. They're all wounded, 444 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: the Spanish. They are ragged, ragged group when they make 445 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: it out of there. And it should be noted you 446 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: really didn't want to get caught alive because the Spanish. 447 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: After this, because the Aztecs had caught some of them, 448 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: the Spanish had to watch some of their friends get 449 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: marched up to the top of that temple and stripped 450 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: naked and had a little head dress put off them 451 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: and forced to dance before they were laid out, and 452 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: had their hearts cut out of their chest. It's that 453 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: kind of story. I told you the Aztec conquistador story 454 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: is underrated. We do not give it enough credit. Is 455 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: an intense story. I'm skipping over cool stuff just to 456 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: try to get through the end here. So the Spanish 457 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: get out of town and the Aztecs pursue. Kind of. 458 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: When I say kind of, this is what I mean. 459 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: The Aztecs gather essentially their entire army. They go after 460 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: the Spanish, but they think the Spanish are pretty much defeated, 461 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: and they think, well, let's just take our time and 462 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: do this s Artley, and do this right. The Spanish 463 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: are tired and hungry and wounded. What are they going 464 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: to do about it? And frankly, when you look at 465 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: the numbers, it's hard to argue with the Aztecs that 466 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: they're thinking. How many people did Quartez have? We don't 467 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: know exactly yet, but we do think he still had 468 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: around six hundred because all the men he had lost 469 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: but then gained and then lost and gained. Quartz had 470 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: around six hundred. How many did the Aztecs have? Fifteen 471 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: to twenty thousand, So obviously the Aztecs are fairly confident 472 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: in victory. Now, Quartz did have Indians, lots of them 473 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: fighting with him as well. That went on top of 474 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: that six hundred, but he's way way out numbered, way 475 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: out numbered. He even gives a speech in front of 476 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: his men as they line up for battle because the 477 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: Aztecs aside they're going to do battle, and he gives 478 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: a speech and says, don't worry, boys, Science and stuff 479 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: like that will win the day. We'll be fine. He's 480 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: essentially saying, our armor and our bullets will be enough, 481 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: well enough. You'll find out next. And then let's asked 482 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: doctor Jesse time. Hang on, it is the Jesse Kelly Show. 483 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: On an asked doctor Jesse Friday, We're going to dig 484 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: into this national divorce thing here in a moment. It's 485 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: one of your first questions. Someone has a question about 486 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: the military carrying batteries. We have a sniper battle. Someone 487 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: wants to know about China's one child policy handicapping, though 488 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: all that's coming up soon. First, Cortez has lined up 489 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: six hundred Spanish conquistadors, a bunch of Indian allies with him. 490 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: He's lined up against fifteen to twenty thousand Aztecs. In 491 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: case you're wondering what Montezuma is doing at this moment, Well, 492 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: he's not doing very much because he's dead. Cortez, during 493 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: the unrest in the city, brought out Montezuma to try 494 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: to calm the people down. Clearly the people had set 495 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: aside the whole he's a god thing, and they stoned 496 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: him to death. So Montezuma is gone. Now the Aztecs 497 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: line up and they're ready to wipe out the Spanish 498 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: for good. And frankly, this battle probably changes the course 499 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: of history. It most definitely changes the western hemisphere the Spanish. 500 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: They were ready and they had a plan, and the 501 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: plan was simply this. The Aztecs remember their whole culture 502 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: biting them in the rear end thing. They had another 503 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: part of their culture that was really really not very 504 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: well well thought out. They were excellent in warfare, but 505 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: they're leaders. One, they were very important to the men. 506 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: You didn't just keep fighting when your leader was gone. 507 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: You had to have him there. The leaders were important 508 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: to him. And in two, they wanted to make sure 509 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: everybody on their side knew who and where the leader was. 510 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: So the leader would dress in this absurd, colorful loud. 511 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's obvious who the leader is out there, 512 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: only it's also obvious to the other guys too, and 513 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: Cortez's plan was this, let's hold him off, fight as 514 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: long as we can, and then we will send our 515 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: cavalry in and will kill the leader and finish them off. 516 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: And it works like a charm. The Spanish their weapons 517 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: were too much. The Spanish cavalry were way too much. 518 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,719 Speaker 1: They called him as caston Castian or castion cavalry, depending 519 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: on where he went to school. They were just big 520 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: armored horses that would charge and run you down. It 521 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 1: It was a fierce battle. The Aztecs acquitted themselves very well. 522 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: But as soon as Cortez, who led the charge himself. 523 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: As soon as Cortez led a charge and they finished off, 524 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: he didn't kill the guy those one of his other 525 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: guys killed him. As soon as Cortez led a charge 526 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: and killed the Aztec leader, the Aztec army melted away 527 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: and got virtually slaughtered. Your culture can cost you, even 528 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 1: good parts of your culture can cost you and cost 529 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: you dearly. What do I mean by that? I got 530 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: an ask doctor Jesse question, Dear Senora Kelly, do you 531 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 1: think China's one child policy will ultimately come back and 532 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: bite them in the rear end when it comes to 533 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,399 Speaker 1: growing their nation, since there are forty million more men 534 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: and women who will end up helping them when they 535 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: are ready to go to war, who won't end up 536 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:11,439 Speaker 1: helping them anyway, I have something hard I have to say, 537 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: all right, ready for this, We've killed forty million of 538 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: our kids. I mean, you realize that, right, probably more 539 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: than forty million. And the reason, the reason I hate 540 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: saying that is you know how much I love the country, right, 541 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: and you know how much I despise anti Americanism and 542 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: how much I despise how many people aren't patriots. But 543 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: let's keep something in perspective here. The pro abortion left 544 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: in this country is responsible for just as many dead 545 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:50,240 Speaker 1: kids as the communists in China are. That's just a fact. 546 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: That's a fact. And you know what, Let's let's address 547 00:35:54,080 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: China and us. What will that cost us in the end? 548 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: What will China having a one child policy cost them? 549 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: What will our absurd obsession with abortion cost us? And 550 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 1: the answer to that question is this, I don't know, 551 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: but it's a lot. And the reason I don't know 552 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: is I don't know what would have happened had every 553 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: one of those kids been born and been given a 554 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: chance at life? What does that mean? And I'm not 555 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: doing a pro abortion anti abortion thing for you here, 556 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: but forty million babies. Just think about forty million babies 557 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: lined up for you all out on the ground. Forty 558 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 1: million babies. Which one of those kids is going to 559 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: grow up to to your cancer. Which one of those 560 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: kids is going to grow up to invent a robust 561 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,720 Speaker 1: missile defense system that means America is saved from nuclear 562 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: weapons forever. Which one of those kids is going to 563 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,919 Speaker 1: grow up to be a great president one day. Which 564 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: one of those kids was going to be a great pastor, 565 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,439 Speaker 1: Which one of those kids would have been a good 566 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: mother or father? Which one of those kids would have 567 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: changed the world. And the answer is obviously, I don't know, 568 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: because they were never given a chance, the same as 569 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: the little Chinese kids, the ones China let killed. I 570 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: don't know what would have happened, but you know there 571 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 1: were some diamonds in there. Right Let's say, Okay, let's 572 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: just assume if you want to make that argument, that's fine. 573 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: Oh they're all poor, they wouldn't have been given a 574 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 1: chance and end up in jail. Okay, whatever you're gonna 575 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,760 Speaker 1: make that argument, but it's impossible to argue with numbers 576 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,919 Speaker 1: like that. We didn't kill some diamonds, we didn't kill 577 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 1: some people who would have changed the world. So if 578 00:37:45,920 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: China's in trouble, so are we.
