I'm not I'm not indicting you. 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure you keep a clean home, but just time 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: means you're going to acquire smells. Whether those are cooking 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: smells that get in your paint, your carpet, maybe their 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: animals smells. Maybe you're a smoker, or someone else was 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: just living create smells. I didn't realize that my home 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: had a smell to it until I got my first 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: Eden Pure Thunderstorm, the greatest air purifier I've ever owned 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: in my life.

I now owned three of them. 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm not making that up.

You know what's great 22 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: about right now is there are obviously very important things happening. 23 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: Because there are always very important things happening in the world. 24 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: There's never a moment where there's nothing important going on. 25 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: And we'll address that. We'll address why Bill Gates is 26 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: a megalomaniac. We're gonna talk about woke insanity, we'll trash 27 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: the un and a bit today, you know, as we do. 28 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: We have a really cooled depraved history story today. Although 29 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: you know i'll make it kid appropriate, I can't do 30 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: anything about the subject of the story, though I'll make 31 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: it appropriate for you. But what I love about days 32 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: like today, there isn't a huge news story I have 33 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: to pretend to care about now. As you well know, 34 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: I don't pretend to care about anything I don't really 35 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: care about. But sometimes a story is so big and 36 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: I don't really care about it, but I have to 37 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: talk about it like it's really really important. Like the 38 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: perfect example was the Capitol riot thing where three hundred 39 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: idiots walked into the Capitol building. I just didn't. I mean, 40 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: it was it was a big thing, but it wasn't okay, 41 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't the end of the world. We have an 42 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: economy and disaster and COVID and everything. I just didn't 43 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: care about it that much, so I had to address 44 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: it for ten minutes that day. But days like today 45 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: allow me to do whatever I want to do, which 46 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: is kind of sweet. But first, let us rewind just 47 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: a little bit about two thousand years. We're going to 48 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: ancient Rome. We're going to talk about a man. Every 49 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: single person listening to my voice has heard his name, 50 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: knows at least a small portion of his story. But 51 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: it is the fascinating story of political intrigue and scandal 52 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: and murder and perversion and everything else. So we're going 53 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: to address it today. A guy you may have heard 54 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: of by the name of Nero born thirty seven years AD. 55 00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: Dad dead early. And you have to understand that Nero 56 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: was part of the Julian Claudian Julian Claudian dynasty, and 57 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: what that means is this, there was a list of 58 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: family members, all from the same family, who were emperors 59 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: of Rome. But that brings a lot more problems than 60 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: you think. You see, when you're trying to determine which cousin, 61 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: which son, which adopted son, which stepbrother, which uncle gets 62 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: to take power. It gets quite difficult keeping the family together. 63 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: It gets even more difficult when the family members start 64 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: murdering each other, which was routine in Rome, especially when 65 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: you're dealing with that level of power. And I want 66 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: you to understand this, when you're dealing with this level 67 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: of power, And if you look at a map of Rome, 68 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: ancient Rome at this time, I'm not going to bore 69 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: you with pulling it up, although you're welcome to. I 70 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 1: just need you to picture this. You know, the Mediterranean. 71 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: You can at least picture the Mediterranean. Maybe you can 72 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: pull up a map of the Mediterranean. You got your 73 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: Spain on the left hand side of that picture. You're 74 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: looking at northern Africa on the bottom, Grease over there 75 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: to the east, so on and so forth. If you 76 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: were to draw just a huge circle around the Mediterranean 77 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: and all the lands bordering the Mediterranean, and remember all 78 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: the money is on the water, always has been, always 79 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: will It was all Rome. This was Rome's height. So 80 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: when you're dealing with becoming the most powerful man in 81 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: the world, people are gonna die. That is the history 82 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: of mankind. And don't think it's any different today. People 83 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: die in those situations. It's also why I do not 84 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: do business with family or friends. You know that old saying. 85 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: I certainly didn't come up with the concept. I do not, 86 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: under any circumstances do any business of any kind with 87 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: a friend of mine or family member. None, not with 88 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: my sister, not with my best friend, not with my parents, nobody, period. 89 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: As far as you know, a new investment opportunity, I knew, 90 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: I knew, Hey, I've got an idea for this, good 91 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: go period. Nobody. I'll work with no family, no friends, 92 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: never ever, ever, ever, ever. I've seen the fallout of 93 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: that so badly, so many times. I never have to 94 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: worry about it. But anyway, setting that aside, Nero's mother 95 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: was a lady by the name of Agrippina, and pay 96 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: attention because she's gonna play a part in our story today. 97 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw probably more names at you than I 98 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: usually do today. I know the details bogged down a story, 99 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: so I don't brutalize you with names. But these are 100 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: big names, and it's a big story. Agrippina was Caligula's sister. Yes, 101 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: the whole marrying your horse, Coligial that that exact same 102 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: guy in Caligula had a big problem with his sister. 103 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: She has this young son, Nero. Caligula has her exiled, 104 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: and this is obviously a treacherous time. You remember how 105 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: Caligula met his end, stabbed several times in an underground tunnel. 106 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: He's dead. When Caligula dies, a man named Claudius steps in. 107 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: He brings Agrippina back. Nero is very young at this time, 108 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: and he is brought into the royal fold, if you will. 109 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: And this is something I have wealthy friends and I 110 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: have poor friends, as you well know. But it's really 111 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: funny the difference my poor friends in general, they just 112 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: worry about having enough to provide the things that the 113 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: kids need. Basically, I'm not talking about three meals a day. 114 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: They're not that poor. But man, am I going to 115 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: be able to afford to get him a new pair 116 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: of shoes next year? He's growing out of these shoes. 117 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: The gas prices, you know, you and I will complain 118 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: about gas prices. Poor people look at those gas prices 119 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: tick up and start to wonder if they're going to 120 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: be able to afford to go to work. There's just different, 121 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: different concerns. But my rich friends have concerns too. Their 122 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: concerns are generally this, how can I love my kids, 123 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: provide for my kids, but make sure my children are 124 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: not raised in some wealthy, golden cloaked bubble to where 125 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: they have no concept of the real world at all. 126 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: Nero was spoiled, would be putting it mildly. He's brought 127 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: into the royal fold at a time of peak Roman power, 128 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: peak Roman wealth. He it's nothing, I mean, at a 129 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: young age, nothing but tutors in people who dozed on him. 130 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: He has anything and everything he wants. Just to fast 131 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: forward a little bit. By the age of thirteen, Nero 132 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: is giving a speech to the Roman Senate. This is 133 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: just the dude drowning in wealth and power and privilege, 134 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: and there's something else. And this is going to get uncomfortable, 135 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: and it's going to offend people. I don't care. Nero 136 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: had an artist's brain. Nero loved music. He loved singing, 137 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: he loved dancing, he loved playing instruments. Nero was a 138 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: drawing artist as well. Nero had an artistic mind, and, 139 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: by the way Ship he noted, worked hard at his 140 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: craft throughout his life and was quite good at it. Supposedly, 141 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: But here's the thing about ancient Rome. We like to 142 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: point to all their failures, and believe me, we're going 143 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: to point to some today, some really dark moments in Rome. 144 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: But Rome did have one thing figured out. And you 145 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: can say it's harsh, I say it's pretty dag gone smart. 146 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: You know what that one thing was. I'll tell you 147 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: the stuff you know. I don't eat the best. Right 148 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: to put it mildly, I don't eat the best. I 149 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: try to work out, but I'm not some workout freak. 150 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: But here's the deal. I have to take care of 151 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: my heart. And that's not just some general statement for me. 152 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: We all have to take care of our hearts. But 153 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: I have heart problems in my family. I have blood 154 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: pressure problems in my family. I have seen firsthand what 155 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: those will do to you. I have to take care 156 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: of my heart.

Just remind me, 170 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: I'll tell the story of the glasses. I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed. 171 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: Shut up, you should be all right, back to my story. 172 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: There is something about Rome, and this is gonna be 173 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: offensive to you, and it's going to sound harsh. Rome 174 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: had classes, as many societies do. I'm not saying that's 175 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: a good thing, but they did have classes very much 176 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: though in the bottom class. There were pimps, ladies of 177 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: the night, if you will, and actors and musicians. The 178 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: act and musicians were considered on the exact same level 179 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: as the ladies of the night. If you were an 180 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: upper class person, and this is going to come into 181 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: play in our story, if you were an upper class 182 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: person and you were seen talking to an actor or 183 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: an actress. It was a public scandal, a public scandal. 184 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: And don't worry, we're gonna get to this Bill Gates stuff. 185 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: Now he has math is racist ideas. Now we're going 186 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: to get to that in a few But understand, an 187 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: artistic brain is a beautiful thing. It's a wonderful thing. 188 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: It's what God gave you. God love you for it. However, 189 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: oftentimes these people do not Their mind doesn't work the 190 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: same way other people do. In their mind is not 191 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: made to have a lot of power, to have a 192 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: lot of wealth. How many rock star story have you 193 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: read or heard about in your life of just the 194 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: insane things those people do. It's not because they're demons. 195 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: That mind is not made for that. You know what. 196 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: I want you to picture this as we go into 197 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: the story of Nero, because this is going to apply 198 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: to him as we're telling our tale today. I want 199 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: you to picture the most insane rocker you know about, 200 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: whoever pops into your mind, the guy you know drives craziness, 201 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: all the other stuff. I want you to picture handing 202 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: that guy the power to do anything he wants. The 203 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: most powerful man in the world. Oh, the lead singer 204 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: of Motley Motley crue. Here. You now have complete control 205 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: of the United States of America. You don't even have 206 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: a Congress to deal with. What do you think he 207 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: would do? How do you think that would go? Well, 208 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,119 Speaker 1: you're about to find out Nero as he's being raised. 209 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: He's coming into this, but he's very young. He loved 210 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: music and art, as I said, And here's the inter 211 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: family dynamic. Claudius, the current emperor, has two kids, son 212 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: and daughter. Agrippina very much wants Nero to be the emperor, 213 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: and not one of Claudius's kids, obviously not Claudius's son. 214 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: Agrippina works her way into Claudius's good graces the old 215 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: fashioned way, the Kamala Harris way, if you will, what Chris, 216 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: We can make jokes, but she works her way into there. 217 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: And Claudius adopts Nero. Adoption in Rome was a huge deal. 218 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: I mean it was. It is a huge deal. It's 219 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: still a great thing, but adoption in Rome was a 220 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: big deal. You are very much brought into the fold. 221 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: Claudius adopts Nero. Nero then marries his stepsister. Remember I 222 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: told you Claudius had a daughter. Nero marries the daughter 223 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: of the family. He just got adopted into It's it's 224 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: it was, it was Rome. It's difficult to tell ancient 225 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: Roman stories family friendly. That's what happened. Okay, I can't 226 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: do anything about it. He married it, then, well we 227 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: have a problem. You see, you remember Claudius had a 228 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: natural born son. His name is Britannicus. Don't worry about 229 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: remembering that. But he had a natural born son. And 230 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: Britannicus was only a little bit younger than Nero, and 231 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: he's starting to come of age and he's looking to 232 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: be Wow, he's he's he's kind of more capable than 233 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: Nero is. Nero's really into music and stuff. Britannicus looks 234 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: like he might be more capable than Nero is, but 235 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: he's not quite of age yet. I guess we'll just 236 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: feel it out. Except they didn't have time to feel 237 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: it out. Claudius ad a plate of mushrooms at a 238 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: banquet and died. We all know what happened there. Claudius 239 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: poison almost undoubtedly. The general thinking is he got poisoned 240 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: by Agrippina, who wanted her son to be emperor and 241 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 1: not Britannicus. And there's nothing unique about this story. When 242 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: it comes to ancient Rome. In this period, this was 243 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: the norm. Only now here's the situation on the ground. 244 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: Nero does take over as emperor at a time of 245 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: peaque Roman power, the most powerful man in the world. 246 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: He can do anything he wants to anybody he wants, senators, slaves, foreigners, 247 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: anything to anybody. And he's sixteen years old. A sixteen 248 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: year old musician is now given the power. After a 249 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: sport childhood has now given the power to do anything 250 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: he wants. It sounds like I'm defending what's coming, but 251 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: I understand what's coming. I don't defend it, but I 252 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: get it. What were you idiots thinking? And at first 253 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: he was a good emperor by all accounts. He had tutors, 254 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: one of them by the name of Seneca. Don't worry 255 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: about remembering that either. But Nero would listen to his tutors, 256 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: and he would try to be a good emperor. However, 257 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: as you're growing up as a man, there's something all 258 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: dudes go through. I can't speak to women because I'm 259 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: not one, and don't plan on becoming one. When you're 260 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: a dude, as you're coming up, you will at some 261 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: point in time. Teenager early twenties, you will start to 262 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: feel around a little bit and test exactly how much 263 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: power you have now. In general, this is how this 264 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: works as a guy. A very healthy moment as a 265 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: dude and general, that moment will come when you get 266 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: a little too lippy with somebody you shouldn't have gotten 267 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: too lippy with, and you catch your right cross to 268 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: the mouth and you wake up the next morning with 269 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: some peas on your face, with some frozen peas on 270 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: your face to get the swelling down, and you decide 271 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: in that moment, oh, maybe those manners my parents told 272 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: me about we're actually worth something. I should probably keep 273 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: my mouth shut from now. And it's generally that kind 274 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: of innocent stuff with dudes. You do something dumb. I 275 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: want to see if I can jump off this thing 276 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: and hurt myself. Oh wow, there's a bone coming out 277 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: of my leg. I want to see if I can 278 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: climb this. I want to see if I can do 279 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: something dumb in a car. By the way, please don't 280 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: do something dumb in a car. Fill let's go do 281 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: something dumb somewhere else. You can die in a car. 282 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: But as a dude, you do these little coming of 283 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: age things and you'll get checked. Your power is always 284 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: checked by somebody something. Oh okay, I'm actually not the 285 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: ruler of the world. I very much have limits on 286 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: my power. But I find Nero to be fascinating because 287 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: what if, as a young man, you start coming of 288 00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: age and there aren't limits, there's no limit anywhere, there's 289 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: nothing you can't do, and you have kind of a 290 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: weirdo artist's brain. Anyway, where does that go? Where does 291 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: it end? Nero keeps himself contained. His tutors and his 292 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: mother keep himself contained for a little while, But they're 293 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: not the god Emperor Neros, they remember considered a god emperor. 294 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: Nero's the god Emperor. What if what if I just 295 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: wanted to walk over to that guy and slap him 296 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: in the face. All that guy's a senator, So what 297 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: if I felt like slapping him in the face. What's 298 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: to stop me? Oh you shouldn't. You shouldn't do that, sir. Yeah, 299 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: that's not what I asked, though. What's to stop me? 300 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: What's going to happen to me? Oh? Nothing. You can 301 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: do whatever you want now he first starts dipping his toe, 302 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: and to do whatever you want. Thing with relatively innocent stuff. 303 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: It was a scandal, but innocent stuff. It started with 304 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: just well artists hanging out with some musicians hanging out 305 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: with some actors.

We have like five 340 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: hundred of them at this point. We have a bunch 341 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: of new ones today. I'm gonna read them on the 342 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: air because they're so good. I love you guys, all right, nero, 343 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: and don't worry, I'm gonna get to you've heard about 344 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:12,479 Speaker 1: the weaker Muslims a lot in China, China's genocide, concentration camps, 345 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: abuse of them. I'm gonna tell you something very very 346 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: very uncomfortable about why most people don't care. But we'll 347 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: get to that in a little bit. Nero, Okay, it's 348 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: bad enough. He's hooked on the arts, hanging out with 349 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: actresses and actors and musicians, that in and of itself 350 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: as a scandal, and his mother hates it, always nagging 351 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: at him about it. This doesn't look good. You're supposed 352 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: to be the emperor. Blah blah blah blah blah. But 353 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: Nero starts to do more than just hang out with 354 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: actors and actresses. He starts to figure out, let's see 355 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: if there's a way I can put this. He starts 356 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: to figure out that if I'm out and about and 357 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: I see your wife while she's with you, I can 358 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: do as I please. Oh, he didn't stop there. If 359 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: I'm out and about and I see your husband, I 360 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: can do as I please. But wait, it actually gets worse. 361 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: He does, I wasn't making that story up. He does 362 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: start to figure out, I can hit people if I want. 363 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: Sometimes he would dress up into skies. Of course bodyguards 364 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 1: are around, but he would dress up into skies and 365 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: he would just go punch people or slap people because 366 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: he could. And you know it, there's one of these things. 367 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: We don't like to act like this is true, but 368 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: it absolutely is true. If you ever talk to a cop, 369 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,479 Speaker 1: and I know a bunch of cops, you know all 370 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: of cops, they'll tell you they know as especially in 371 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: bad neighborhoods, you get fourteen fifteen year old kid and 372 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: they'll be able to tell you, look, we can't do it. 373 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 1: But in a perfect world, we take that kid and 374 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 1: lock him up for the rest of his life right now. 375 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: And you say something like, whoa, you can't say that. 376 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: What are you talking about, dude, He's already boosting cars, 377 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: he already stole. That story ends one way. About ninety 378 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: nine percent of the time, there are gateways in life. 379 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: That's how the human conscience works. All those all the 380 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: How does every mafia story I've ever told you on 381 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: the show work? Do they start out murdering twenty five 382 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: people and burying them in the desert. No, they start 383 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: out they're just they're just running some numbers for the 384 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,959 Speaker 1: local mob. Bombs, and then eventually, well, okay, you need 385 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: you need some drugs or illegal booze across the All right, 386 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: I'll drive that for you. Sure, i'll steal something. I'll 387 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: break in at night, though I won't hurt anyone. Okay, 388 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: well this one's worth a lot. Maybe I will hurt 389 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: one person this time, but not too badly. Oh you 390 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: need someone killed? I mean, I guess I can. That's 391 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: how it works. It's how the human yours works the 392 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: same way. Your conscience works the same way. Now, imagine 393 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: if you're an emperor figuring out you can beat people. 394 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: He starts sneaking out at night in disguise and murdering 395 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: people and just throwing him personally do what Christmas raise 396 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: his hand, what he can do, whatever he wants, whatever 397 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: he wants, And if he gets some excitement out of 398 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: murdering people, well he's gonna go do that. So Mom 399 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: has seen about enough. She wanted her son to be emperor. 400 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: She worked hard to get him to be emperor. Now 401 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: he's a nutball. He's ruining the family name. Family name 402 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: was everything back then. Mom starts to look at the 403 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: son of Claudius, member Britannicus, the one who was gonna 404 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: be emperor and she starts to court Britannicus. Hey man, 405 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: maybe maybe you should actually take the reins. This Nero 406 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: guy is a nutball. I know he's my son, but 407 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: he's crazy. But when you get into a place where 408 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: the system is corrupted out and rotted, and there are 409 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: only a few people or one person at the top 410 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: control everything, it becomes a society full of distrust because 411 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: nobody can step out of line at all or the 412 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: system will destroy them. And you always because when a 413 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: system is corrupted, a system does what right. It supports 414 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: its own, it protects its own, and it crushes its enemies. 415 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: I talk about our own system that way now, because 416 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: it's totally corrupted and wrong. You see these Washington bureaucrats 417 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: like Janet yelling, you'll make a couple one hundred grand 418 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: a year as government bureaucrat. Then the Democrat president leaves 419 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: boom right to Wall Street, go make five ten million, 420 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: Oh new Democrat president, is it bring it right back 421 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: in or they'll go be a college professor or their 422 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: life is always laid out for you. But it works 423 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: the opposite way too. If you're against the system, people 424 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: don't trust because people will report on you to the 425 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: system in order to gain favor with the system. Nero 426 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: finds out almost immediately about all this Mother Britannicus stuff. 427 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: So they have a big banquet. It's banquet time. Hey 428 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: invite Britannicus. I'd love to have Britannicus come to the 429 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: banquet with me. Not exactly an invitation Britannicus could refuse 430 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: even if he wanted to. Britannicus eats a little something 431 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: he shouldn't have at the banquet, in front of everybody. 432 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: At the banquet, Britannicus falls down, poisoned, dies in agonizing death. 433 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: Nero refuses to stop the party, refuses to acknowledge that 434 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: it was poison Everybody in the room knows it was poisoned. 435 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: Everyone in the room knows Nero did it. But Nero 436 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: is remember the all powerful god King. He can do 437 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: as he pleases, and he will force you, as any 438 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: corrupt system will, to believe or to at least publicly 439 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: acknowledge the lie that he's selling you. Nero says, Oh, 440 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: he died of a seizure. Anyway, get him out of here. 441 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: They took Britannicus's body out and burn it without pausing 442 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: the banquet for even a brief moment. Oh, sorry, he's 443 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: dead now, sorry, And don't think that mom was going 444 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: to get out of this scott free. Remember Mom's agrippina. 445 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: He kicks her out, makes her go live in another 446 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: house because he's tired over nagging. He actually sends people 447 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: randomly to go just harass her in the street, go 448 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: shout things at her. His own mother. The dude is 449 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: just a nut job. And finally he decides, I've had 450 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: about enough of this. I've got a plan, and this 451 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: plan is going to take care of this nagging mother 452 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: of mine for good. Remember the Gateway, Remember it just 453 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: started out with music, and then it moved to some beatings, 454 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: and then it moved to murdering random strangers. Now you're 455 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: murdering your step brother. Well, how big of a step 456 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: is it when you go from all that to murdering 457 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: your mother. You're all powerful, there are no limit, there 458 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: are no limits. You are the lead singer of Motley 459 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: Crue given the keys to the world. What would you do? 460 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: Nero decides, Oh, this loving mother a bit devious, But 461 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: this loving mother of mine asked to go, so he 462 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: invites her over to dinner. Has dinner. You have to 463 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,959 Speaker 1: imagine she was probably eating light that night. Oh you know, 464 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, son, I'm starving and this looks good. 465 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: I just started this new diet though, and I'm not 466 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: allowed to eat any of it. But he at this dinner, 467 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: he's very kind to her. Gives her a boat because 468 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: she has to take a boat on the way out 469 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: of there because of the where the villa was.

Thank you see? 493 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: Is this is what happens when we open up for 494 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,720 Speaker 1: voicemails and live calls eight seven seven three seven seven 495 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: four three seven three Jesse at Jesse Kelly show dot com. 496 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: He is, of course, referring to the trans HHS Secretary 497 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: doctor Levine. Brother. I don't know. I have no way 498 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 1: of finding out, No, nor do I intend to find 499 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: out at all. Understand that I understand that most of 500 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,280 Speaker 1: you are under the impression I have a limited power 501 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: and that's not necessarily wrong, per se. But no, I'm 502 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: not going to find out all right, cause see Chris, 503 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: this this is how the show goes off the rails. 504 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,479 Speaker 1: This is how the show goes off the rails every time. 505 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: You know why China's genocide of the weaker Muslims is 506 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: not a bigger deal in people's minds. It's gonna be offensive. 507 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: You ready, You're gonna gets in trouble again, But I'm 508 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: gonna tell you saying a little bit, hang on, try 509 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: to finish this here, Nero puts his mom in a 510 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: boat designed to collapse, sends her out to the water. 511 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: That the boat does collapse, but it turns out Mom 512 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: was quite a swimmer. Mom swims ashore, makes it ashore, 513 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: escapes to a private villa. But now we've gone way 514 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: past the point of acting like it's going to be 515 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: poisoned or a collapsible boat. Nero just flat out sends 516 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: some assassins to her house, and here the reports conflict. 517 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,919 Speaker 1: Either they stabbed her to death or she stabbed herself. 518 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,240 Speaker 1: That they do say in the story, though she pointed 519 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: to her room and said stab here first, basically saying 520 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: this cursed womb that produced this monster. Does she knew well? 521 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: Rome may have been depraved and on the downhill slide 522 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: at this point in time, even though they were wealthy 523 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: and powerful, just morally, culturally, they were not doing well, 524 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: partly because they were so wealthy and powerful. But Rome 525 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: was very much aware. Killing your mom is not that's 526 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,720 Speaker 1: not good, that's not good. Agrippina was popular with the people, 527 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: but the system is so completely corrupt nobody can do 528 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: anything about it, and nobody can even voice an opposition 529 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 1: to what just happened publicly. So now with mom gone, 530 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: Nero just decides to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, 531 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: to a more extreme level than he was before. You 532 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: thought it was a scandal he was playing music. Well, 533 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: now he's actually doing work that slaves normally do, which 534 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,800 Speaker 1: was a huge thing in Rome. I'm talking about chariot races. 535 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 1: Those were normally slaves holding the reins. Nero wanted the 536 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,280 Speaker 1: crowds cheering for himself and I know you'll find the shocking, 537 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: but he won every race, even the ones where he 538 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 1: fell off. Yes, whatever I know? Is that amazing? Chris, 539 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: what a performer he would get in musical competitions and 540 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: was always declared the winner. Of course, he would have 541 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: elephant fights. Elephants would fight lions, and I'll be honest, 542 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: I kind of want to see that quit of even 543 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:34,359 Speaker 1: though it's not humane. I would watch. He would fill 544 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: up the Colosseum with water and have sea battles in 545 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: the colosseum, and the people loved it. The people loved 546 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: the spectacle of it. And Nero's wife, remember is his 547 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 1: steps step sister, Octavia. Only Nero he has a woman 548 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 1: on the side. He would like to marry the woman 549 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: on a side and not Octavia. The public loves Octavia. 550 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,280 Speaker 1: Nero chooses to banish Octavia and then has her murdered 551 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,399 Speaker 1: as well. Now the public is really starting to get aware, 552 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: and especially the members of high society in Rome is 553 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: getting They're getting aware. This guy is a monster and 554 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 1: he's not going to stop. And he didn't stop. Nero 555 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: chooses to marry his side piece, and she is a 556 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: complete devious nutball too. Apparently she had worked her way 557 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: around Rome herself. She did things like she kept a 558 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: herd of donkeys so she could bathe in milk. Nero 559 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,359 Speaker 1: can't seem to produce an air. But this, I mean, 560 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: this is where we are, which brings us to the 561 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 1: sixty four ad fire. I don't know what happened here. 562 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: Here's what I do know. Nero was not in the city. 563 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: He was at one of his villas just out side 564 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: of the city. At a time, Rome, a big part 565 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: of Rome caught on fire. When you and I picture 566 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 1: ancient Rome, what do you picture white marble? Everybody pictures 567 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: white marble, white marble statues and columns and buildings and 568 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: things like that. You need to understand Rome was a 569 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: city of a million people, and the marble didn't come 570 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,760 Speaker 1: till later and was only in specific places. A big 571 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: city like that is built on wood, dried out tinder. 572 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 1: A fire was a big deal. A fire gets set 573 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 1: in Rome. They say Nero said it himself. That is 574 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 1: the wide belief. Neo said it himself and probably did, 575 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: probably not personally, but probably had it set. There is 576 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: another ancient writer out there that says that was a rumor. 577 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: We don't know if it's true. I think we can 578 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: all assume Nero would have. But he is assumed to 579 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: have set the fire. And what didn't that depraved monster 580 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: do as the ancient Roman city was on fire. I'll 581 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: tell you in a second, and no gates racist math. Hi. Hi, 582 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: we're the Google Dolls. We're fortunate that we can give 583 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: our daughters everything they need to grow and learn, but 584 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,280 Speaker 1: not every child can focus on classes and play dates. 585 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: Nearly thirteen million kids in the US face hunger. That's 586 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,359 Speaker 1: one in six. School lunch might be their only meal 587 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: each day, and it's heartbreaking. You imagine any child going 588 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: to bed hungry. We're dreaming but perfect day when kids 589 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 1: can smile, play and just be kids without worrying about 590 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 1: where their next meal will come from. Feeding America is 591 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,320 Speaker 1: working to make that perfect day reality. Each year, the 592 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: Feeding America network of food banks rescues billions of pounds 593 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: of good food that would have gone to waste. That 594 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: food is given to families and children in need. Being 595 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: a kid should be about doing things that make an 596 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: ordinary day extraordinary, learning to play an instrument, building a sandcastle, 597 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: hosting tea parties.

This 622 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: is the Jesse Kelly Show. What would you expect the 623 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: president in the speech to be talking about? Number one? 624 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 1: He will position himself as the alternative to Joe Biden. 625 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,840 Speaker 1: Uh he I think will will make a speech that 626 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 1: will unify Republicans on policy. See that. I think he's 627 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,839 Speaker 1: been working the phones as with him all weekend. He 628 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 1: wants us to win in twenty twenty two. And stay tuned. 629 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,800 Speaker 1: I think you're going to see over the next couple 630 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: of months, Donald Trump lead the Republican Party on policy 631 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 1: and give us the energy we need to take back 632 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,240 Speaker 1: the House and the Senate. The Democrats are doing their part. 633 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: If we could get behind President Trump and follow his lead, 634 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: we will win in twenty twenty two. If we argue 635 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: with ourselves, we're gonna go. We're gonna lose, and there's 636 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 1: no reason to lose. Lindsey Graham on Hannity's show, he 637 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 1: is an opportunist. I'll put it that way. Lindsey Graham 638 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 1: is an opportunist. But to his credit, Lindsey Graham at least, 639 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: unlike people like Liz Cheney, who will get to in 640 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 1: this little bit, at least he understands the direction the 641 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 1: title wave is going and that you, Lindsey Graham, whatever, 642 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,280 Speaker 1: Senator or Congressman, do not have the power to change 643 00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: the direction of said tidal wave. I've said before. The 644 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:20,719 Speaker 1: next standard bearer of the GOP or standard bearers do 645 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: not have to be hardcore pro Trump guys. They just 646 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 1: do not. They do not. But you cannot possibly be 647 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,399 Speaker 1: a vocally anti Trump guy and lead the right now. 648 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: He is too popular, too powerful. It's not humanly possible. 649 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 1: But let's finish up with our boy Nero. Here. I 650 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 1: know we went long today. I don't care. It's my show. 651 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,360 Speaker 1: Here's the deal. We don't know if he set the 652 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 1: fire or not, but Rome burned as soon as it 653 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:56,799 Speaker 1: was done burning well. First, during the burning, they say 654 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 1: Nero played the fiddle. You should know this. That's not 655 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 1: true because they didn't have fiddles. Then he did probably 656 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 1: play an instrument. Though they say he put on his 657 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 1: robes and played a leer, so he probably did play 658 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:13,880 Speaker 1: an instrument. He didn't care. He then starts to rebuild 659 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: the areas that are burnt down and supposedly remember this 660 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 1: as an artist. Supposed he does a very good job 661 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 1: of it, widens out the streets, makes it nice. But 662 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: Romans are angry. Whenever the public is angry, the public 663 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,879 Speaker 1: needs a scalp. They need somebody to go down for this. 664 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 1: Nero has to find somebody to go down for this, 665 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,040 Speaker 1: a group of people to go down for this. To 666 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 1: blame for this terrible fire. There is a small religious 667 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: group in Rome at this time, just a budding new religion, 668 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 1: and they are ripe for the picking. It was the Christians, 669 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: and I should say before that's another link, before it 670 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,320 Speaker 1: would be beween Judaism and Christianity. Before they started dumping 671 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,840 Speaker 1: on the Christians, it was the Jews who were always 672 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 1: getting persecuted in Rome all the time. I know you're 673 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 1: gonna find this shock and Chris, but you people were 674 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:14,839 Speaker 1: persecuted in Rome. I know, the wild right, but right, 675 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 1: but right about this time is when Christianity is really 676 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 1: on the up right. I mean we're talking just post 677 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 1: Jesus's death. Is this is growing, and it's growing rapidly. 678 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 1: Oh wow, Son of God. That's really kind of cool. 679 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 1: It's also really distrusted amongst the powers that be in Rome. 680 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 1: Wrap your mind around this. It's sold in America today 681 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,840 Speaker 1: as this oppressive thing towards women because the Bible's clear 682 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 1: about roles of men and women and whatnot. In Rome 683 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,880 Speaker 1: at this time, it was viewed as a huge threat 684 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:54,719 Speaker 1: towards the men in charge because it was so freeing 685 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: to women. Wow, I'm in charge of my own salvation 686 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 1: my own soul. It was sold that way. And when 687 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:07,279 Speaker 1: you take off enough powerful men like that who runs society, 688 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 1: you're in trouble. The Christians were distrusted, not hated, not 689 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 1: necessarily hated, because they were such a gentle people. They 690 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:20,360 Speaker 1: weren't out there killing people, but distrusted. Nero realizes this 691 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,319 Speaker 1: group is ripe to be blamed for this whole thing. 692 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 1: He blames the Christians and he begins the Christian persecution. 693 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:34,319 Speaker 1: He burns them alive, he crucifies them, He covers them 694 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 1: in animal skins and has them be eaten alive by dogs. 695 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:45,280 Speaker 1: And Nero, once again, unsurprisingly way overplays his hand. Remember, 696 00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 1: they weren't hated, they were distrusted, but they were gentle. 697 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 1: The public, the public wasn't excited that Nero was lighting 698 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: the streets with burning Christians. Seemed way over the top. Okay, 699 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,479 Speaker 1: you want to take one and cut his head off, 700 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:06,560 Speaker 1: that's fine. You're feeding these people to the dogs. It, actually, 701 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 1: they say, in a weird way, helped advance Christianity in Rome. 702 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 1: The sympathy for them, the way they went down for it. 703 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 1: They wouldn't renounce anything, they just went well, well, now 704 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 1: Nero has gone too far with too many things. Now 705 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 1: revolt is starting to brew. Now you have a revolting 706 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,800 Speaker 1: gall Legions are saying, Okay, this guy is not a 707 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 1: legitimate emperor. Nero's starting to get paranoid. He starts to 708 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:37,280 Speaker 1: have generals killed, he starts to have senators killed, and 709 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 1: then he commits the ultimate act, the final straw that 710 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 1: broke the camel's back. Remember his side piece that he married, 711 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:49,799 Speaker 1: He had finally gotten her pregnant. He gets angry one 712 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 1: night and kicks her to death while she's pregnant with 713 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 1: his child. Well, you can only kill so many powerful people, 714 00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:03,880 Speaker 1: because powerful people have powerful friends. Nero is all of 715 00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 1: a sudden deemed by the Roman Senate to be a 716 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:12,759 Speaker 1: public enemy. This means if Nero is caught by the 717 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:16,440 Speaker 1: people who deemed him a public enemy, he will be stripped, 718 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,960 Speaker 1: naked and beaten to death with rods. That's what being 719 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,279 Speaker 1: a public enemy. Man. It was a big deal. And 720 00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 1: obviously I don't have to explain to you that's not 721 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,360 Speaker 1: a pleasant way to go. When they beat you to 722 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,919 Speaker 1: death with rods. They didn't start with the head. I'll 723 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,760 Speaker 1: put it that way. It's gonna be a while. Nero 724 00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,320 Speaker 1: is guarded though by the Praetorian Guard. They were the 725 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,000 Speaker 1: secret service of their time, even though they were horribly 726 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 1: corrupt and killed all the rampers. But he's guarded. That's 727 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,839 Speaker 1: These are the guys. You wake up. They're in the palace. Hey, hey, Bob, 728 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,399 Speaker 1: how are y'all doing? I just gotta hit the head 729 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: real quick. Keep guarding me with your sword, guys standing 730 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 1: at the door. Nero knows all these people want to 731 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,400 Speaker 1: kill him, but at least he has his Praetorian Guard. 732 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 1: He wakes up one night in the middle of the 733 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,279 Speaker 1: night and it's weirdly quiet in the Emperor's palace and 734 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:07,040 Speaker 1: Nero starts walking around and the palace is empty. The 735 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:12,360 Speaker 1: Praetorian Guard is all gone. Nero freaks out, as he 736 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:17,760 Speaker 1: should have, and flees Rome by himself. Goes and hides 737 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 1: in a villa, and the Senate now has Roman troops 738 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 1: after him to find him and kill him. They figure 739 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 1: out where he is, they close in on him. Nero 740 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 1: does have a servant with him. Now this story goes 741 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 1: two different ways. I don't know which one to believe, 742 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,240 Speaker 1: so I'm giving you both of him. Some say Nero 743 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,640 Speaker 1: killed himself, stabbed himself. Some say he was too cowardly 744 00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 1: to do it and had his servants stab himself. But 745 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 1: as the agents are there, he stabs himself, and the 746 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,360 Speaker 1: agents get there as he's dying, and you know what, 747 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:56,240 Speaker 1: you know what Nero's final words were, what an artist? 748 00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:08,600 Speaker 1: I die? An insane individual? Broken systems. Broken systems lead 749 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:15,399 Speaker 1: to things like this. But understand this. We get down 750 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,479 Speaker 1: about a lot of things, our lost culture and lost 751 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 1: system and whatnot, and it is corrupted, it is rotted. 752 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:22,760 Speaker 1: I want you to pause for a moment and focus 753 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:28,200 Speaker 1: on the good today. Think how many people have had 754 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:32,240 Speaker 1: to live in societies run by men like this throughout history. 755 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,759 Speaker 1: You and I aren't aren't guaranteed this period of time 756 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 1: we're given in right, We just happen to be born 757 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 1: in this time. Things are bad. Things are going to 758 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,160 Speaker 1: get worse. I'm not going to sugarcoat it for you, 759 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 1: but things could be a lot worse than they are 760 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:53,440 Speaker 1: right now. Let's be happy we don't have Nero in charge. 761 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:58,680 Speaker 1: Huh Wait a minute, or do we I'll explain? Hang on? 762 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 1: Is he smarter than everyone who knows? Does he think so?
