"Time to grow up and get back to work. Introducing the number one woke free job board in America. Red balloon dot work. You're right. They started to give special sweeping powers to consuls. They and to military commands, which was supposed to be time limited. They they they cease to do that. They started to bend the rules. The other point I was going to make is that the increasingly power passed into the hands of the mob who could occupy the Senate, who could, you know, how down people they disliked a kind of lynch mob mentality. And there's no doubt that social media reminds me of the Roman Forum and of a kind of mob mentality. The moment the mob is here and then suddenly we've got to lynch this guy and rush across to that. And this destabilizing effect of social media promotes demagoguery and promotes a rule outside the normal structures. And anarchy is the result. And anarchy always calls for the strong man who will reimpose order. And there's a there's a very interesting parallel. The first volume of the Cicero trilogy is called Imperium came out in 2006. It all focuses on the trial of various. I think it's a fascinating, really a very, very necessary introduction into the role of the law courts in the late Roman Republic. We are engaged in a series of legal maneuvers in the United States now. And to a certain extent, Boris Johnson censoring by Parliament is the same sort of public trial and public humiliation. That's sort of a precursor to everything. The rise of giantly famous and public entertainment court systems. Do you sense that that's developing as well? I can't speak for the United States here. I would rather see that Parliament is struggling to contain demagoguery lying, which Johnson seems to have done. They're trying to cling to the old rules. Robert Harris, hang on for a second. I got to go to a break. My music is playing in my ear, which you cannot hear. Robert Harris is the author of many books, beginning with Fatherland in 1992. But the Cicero trilogy begins with Imperium. Go and get it. We'll come back and talk a little bit more about what late Roman Republic means. Stay tuned, America. Welcome back, America. My guest is Robert Harris, author extraordinaire, joining me from Great Britain. I'm very grateful for that, Robert. I'm talking about his three books, Imperium from 2006, Lustrum from 2009 and 2015. 2015 was, let me see here, Dictator. Robert, I am very curious from a technical, how much time does it take for you to learn the subject matter before you write the novel that makes the history accessible to the reader? Well, in the case of the trilogy, I knew from the start it was going to be three volumes because I really just wanted to write. I mean, I was a political journalist. Politics fascinates me. I wrote a novel. Some people in America may have heard of or seen the movie The Ghost about Tony Blair, or kind of Tony Blair -like prime minister and a ghost writer, a marvelous vineyarder. I've always been fascinated by politics. I wanted to write a kind of the original great political book about the struggle for power in ancient Rome. I conceived this idea, and I knew it would take a long time. So, the first two years were nothing but research. Literally, I did nothing else. I built up a research file over half a million words, a chronology of the 25 years I wanted to cover. And then I plotted out the books, and I started with the first one. I wanted to, in media res, to use a Latin phrase, I wanted to cut in with a good story right from the beginning. And so, it begins with this ambitious young senator, Marcus Tullius Cicero, who was a brilliant speaker. And he decides the best way to get on is to take down Verus, the corrupt governor of Sicily. And as you said, the first half of Imperium is taken up really with a great trial where he acts like a kind of ambitious district attorney. The kind of Theodore Roosevelt of the Roman era, I suppose. Well, I'm fascinated... Go ahead. No, you go. I want to know that when you took it to your publisher, I mean, it's written for people like me who love historical fiction. What did they say when you said, I want to do three books about Cicero? I mean, you're just coming off this enormous bestseller, The Fatherland, and you show up and you say, I want to do three books on ancient Rome. What did they say to you? Well, I had just written a novel called Pompeii, which did well. In Britain, it was a big bestseller here, and actually a bestseller in America as well. And so the publishers thought that this would be gold dust, really, I think. I mean, in the end, the books have done well in England and in Germany. And the first one certainly did pretty well in the States. But I mean, I know I'm asking a lot of the reader to follow the life and career of this guy through the law courts and through the elections. And there's a kind of what a friend of mine called toga resistance, that people don't necessarily want to read books about people who lie down to eat and wear these strange costumes and so on. All I can say is, please, if you look beyond that, you'll find everything you really need to know about power and about making speeches and the law and philosophy and warfare and intrigue. It was all done more than 2 ,000 years ago. And our politics, I mean, your country in particular, with the Senate and with all the courts and the elected judiciary and so on, it was the founding fathers who modeled it on ancient Rome. Absolutely. Tom Ricks has written a pretty great book fairly recently about how deeply impacted the framers were by the Roman Republic and not by the late Roman Republic's collapse. And that's why I love the Cicero trilogy too much and recommend it to everyone beginning with Imperium. I listen to them. I encourage people on long car rides to get the audio version. Robert Harris, I want to make sure I know what you're working on next. It's like you're like Ken Follett. You never stop writing books. What's on the table right now? Well, I've just brought out in the last year in America a book called Act of Oblivion, which is all about the English Civil War and the two men who signed the King Charles I death warrant who fled to New England and were hunted across New England for more than a decade. And that is coming out in paperback in America in a couple of months. And I'm starting a novel now just written about the first 10 pages of a novel set in Britain in 1914. And it's a kind of political intrigue novel and with espionage. So fascinates history me because I think, as Cicero said, people who are ignorant of the past are doomed to remain always a child because what is the worth of a human life unless woven into the study of history by the lives of our ancestors? Oh, so well said. I'm not going to improve on that. Sir Christopher Clark from Oxford has written a book called Sleepwalkers on that 1914 period. It's not accessible to people who won't spend 50 days reading it, but novels that do what you do serve the public so well. And I appreciate your efforts and I encourage everyone to get Imperium. I'm going to go get Act of Oblivion. I didn't know about that. I like the English Civil War. Thank you for joining me this morning, Robert Harris. Come back another time. And I encourage everyone, spend your summer with Robert Harris and you will be better off for it. Start with Imperium, move on to Lustrum and to Conspiracy. Thank you so much for being with me. Thank you, America, for listening. Late Roman Republic indeed. Hunter Biden, Donald Trump in the dock. It's all all very familiar to anyone who reads and listens to the people who recount for you what it was 20 ,000 years ago. Everything comes back around again. Hopefully we dodged that bullet.

What Navy? What would your petty help me out there? That's alright. Navy spokes five. Okay for you. Yeah. Let me ask you something. So you know, you've been on the other side of this as as a person who served this country in a different ways with your body with your mind. Um and and thinking forward. Um, you see something like this. I know it's got to be just frightening and but there's got to be a level of anger, too, right? You're absolutely right. And you know my other contributors at MSNBC. Who are lawyers, you know Glenn Kirshner and Joy, Saline and all the rest of them. They're all pulling their hair out today. You like Twitter feed. Here. We have documented evidence. That a president of the United States Actually sought to game the control the the cooperation of the Justice Department. To smear Joe Biden by releasing information that was false that he wanted them to make up that they were doing an investigation. Now where have we seen this before? Donald Trump was impeached for this exact same. You're right one year before he went to the government of Ukraine Press, the president of Ukraine. You know, I need you to announce an investigation. You don't have to come up with any results. You don't have to come up with any conclusions. Just announce it and they're in his mind. And this is from the guilty conscious of a man. Who is constantly under investigation, and he seems to think that all he has to do is say that you know, and magically his Republican allies would attempt to overthrow American democracy on the basis of this I mean, imagine if Justice Department had done it. Shift. No, it's it's it's unimaginable. What January six would have been an armed Insurrection at that point, because they would have said Oh, the Justice Department is saying this. These people are criminals. Let's bring our rifles this Todd, There are a lot of handguns. But they would have had an armed rebellion in this country based on a lie, and Donald Trump needs to be held accountable for this. I don't know. You know, everybody says Oh, well, you know, this is one of a million things Trump has done. Time to start holding them accountable for the things he's done. He literally destroying democracy. Well, I mean, you know, he went to Brad Raffensperger and and and said, You know, Hey, find some votes for me. And he's like Mr President. I can't do that. That's you know, the data you have is wrong. You know, I mean, I mean, kept did it. That's how Kemp got into office. That's how he beat Abrams. You know, he threw votes out, um, and in this particular case now, since then, Republicans in these states are doing everything they can to circumvent democracy. And here's Trump still breathing free air. I just You know, I don't I'm waiting for Vance and James. I'm waiting for Garland. Somebody's got to stop these people because they're what they're doing is tearing. At the very fabric of who we are. I mean, we will have nothing to keep it together. Yes, And the worst part about this is in fact, Justice is doing things Garland is doing things he's making decisions. But it's not faster than their capacity to destroy democracy, right. We've already seen they will work at lightning speed. I mean, we've been six months there's almost 400 pieces of legislation to make sure Lacked and minorities, college students and Democrats cannot have their vote. And if they do vote, the ability for them to just arbitrarily throw it out or important people into these jobs. We are in a there. Very dangerous situation. And I know I get a little shouty about it. Because I see where this is coming. I see that there is a train wreck for democracy. We thought we had averted. Getting rid of Trump. They've quintuple down on this. Uh, it was it was Tom Ricks, the national security writer who said There apparently is a subset of white America that is decided that if they cannot get the country they want with Trump in charge. They don't want America anymore. They want a dictatorship. I think you're you've you've touched on something there because there is a racial component to this, that that that plays out here, and we've seen it before. With attacks on on Not only people of color African Americans, but on Asians and we've seen it, You know, from the beginning of Covid, and we're going back to the birther stuff. They know the weakness of the Democratic Party. And if it's not a weakness, but for them, it's a strength. So I guess it is a weakness for us is that they can frighten their base with lies. That these people are going to come in and change their lives and going to take the things that they've. They've worked and earned for when the truth is the people that really get affected by the stuff these guys are doing or the appellation whites the whites in Arkansas people are dying from covid that they were believing his lies about masks and mandates. You're so Abbott today. Is executive order that you can't have mask mandates in the state of Texas as a Delta variant is just tearing through the state. Same with Abbott. I mean, saying with the Santas in Florida, um Ted Cruz, Um they're all out doing this bidding for the sky. And I don't get it. I mean, you've you've seen people change, but I You know when I see Rubio and I see Cruz, you know, I mean, give Bush Jeb Bush credit. You know when, when he threw his wife under the bus, Bush said, I'm out of this, You know? Goodbye. This is your country now. These other guys are in and I don't get it. They're the worst of the worst, and it's not even hypocrisy. They don't care that they're seen as hypocrites anymore. They don't care. They are solely motivated by one thing, and that is how the face Or white male. We're not even pour the average Republican voter is relatively lower, middle class, but middle class. You know what they call it? Or they're saying it was the the guy who owns the You know the boat. The small boat, the bass boat, you know, and another truck. This is the type of voter that they go for. I think the median the median income for trump voters with somewhere around $130,000 so even though they have the ability to mobilize the poor white It's not about their position. It's not about what they get from Trump. It's about what they want to deny to the other 60% of Americans. It's a horrible, horrible libertarian attitude of I got mine. Screw you. You get nothing. Because I'm entitled to everything. And I mean, the last time we had this attitude was 18 60 right when they thought they were entitled to the the resources, the cash benefits and the the money made from the labor..

"It's as good a time as any to take a break from politics and find something else to woe is me about like baseball, Tom Rickets and our Chicago Cubs. What? Oh, what is Tom Rick is doing to save himself some money to fatten his already obese bank account. Trading away. Our lovable winners tow avoid paying their salaries. Yu Darvish, our number one starting picture, our favorite picture gone. Traded to the Padres. And now on the block, the sports writers are telling us a Wilson Contreras, Avi Bias Kris Bryant and even our super lovable Anthony Rizzo. All four of those guys all together are being paid only $52 million a year. That amount will be going up. No doubt, but no way could've dent the king. Rickets fortune between Tom of the Cubs is siblings and their dad Joe. The family is worth more than $5 billion. The Cubs, part of the family are doing quite well. The Ricketts bought team Cubs nine years ago for 700 million. Its value this morning is more than three billion and increase. And value of 357%. So it stands to reason the Tom Rickets and his dad don't need to trade away. Any of our Cubs stands to reason they don't need to save money. I've loved the Chicago Cubs since I was six years old 77 years ago. And was once even a cubs bat boy. I'm thinking it's time for me to trade away the Cubs for it's kind of hard to.

"This is the Jaakko on Raveling podcast episode four. With Daryl, Cooper and me, Jaakko willink. And, we're about to pick up the thread. Of JAAKKO GOING TO WAR I WanNa read something from. Tom ricks book fiasco early part from the earliest part of the invasion because I want to give people an idea of. The fire. You were jumping into in September, October. Two thousand three, so the war started in March. and. The conventional forces the Iraqis the resistance in the cities. Is precisely the match for the US military that you think it is, and we burn through them and. The Third Infantry Division gets up into Baghdad quick. They take the airport they make their thunder runs through the city, and the regime collapses very rapidly. That's in March early April. And this passage is. Referring, to appear now April into May. Quote. Baghdad was falling apart in front of the eyes of the US military with buildings, being looted and parents afraid to let their children outside, but no one had orders to do anything about it. Looking back several years later, Colonel Colonel Allan King the head of Civil Affairs for three ID spoke of April, two thousand, three with slow chilled tone of horror and his voice. I got to Baghdad was told. You've got twenty four hours to come up with a phase four plan. On the night of April eight Colonel John Sterling Chief of staff of three ID came to me, and said I just got off the phone with the court chief of staff, and I asked him for the reconstruction plan, and he said there isn't one so you've got twenty four hours to come up with one. King was stunned. He had been asking for months for just such a plan and had been told that when the time came, he would be given it. Lacking clear orders about what to do once. In Baghdad, the Third Infantry Division more or less stayed in place in the capital. You didn't find many dismounted patrols with three ID recalled J. Garner a retired army general, not one to lightly criticize his old peers. Kind of stayed with their platforms. That is their. And Bradley Fighting Vehicles. On April. Sixth Lieutenant Douglas Hoyt a platoon leader with three. Id saw looters for the first time. I remembered looking through the sights on my tank at people and trying to determine if they were hostile or not, he recalled later. He didn't stop them. It was not our mission at the time. The divisions official actor Action Review. States that. It had no orders to do anything else. Quote. Third Infantry Division transitioned into phase four SASSO. That's a security and stability ops with no plan from higher H. Q. IT reported. There was no guidance for restoring order in Baghdad creating an interim government, hiring government and essential services, employees, and ensuring that the judicial system was operational. The result was. A power and authority vacuum created by our failure to immediately replace key government institutions. The president announced that our national goal was regime change. This is still reading from the thirty report. That our national goal was regime change yet. There was no timely plan prepared for the obvious consequences of regime change. As a matter of law and fact, the United States is an occupying power in Iraq even if we characterize ourselves as liberators. Because of the refusal to acknowledge our occupier, status commanders did not initially take measures available to occupying powers such as imposing curfews, directing civilians to return to work and controlling the local government in populous. The failure to act after we displaced the regime creating a power vacuum, which others immediately tried to fill. Now. I. Know that War is very confusing. Thing and nobody has a plan after the first punch thrown the fight. There were. Some decisions made in the earliest days of this war that I find pretty inexplicable specifically because they went against the advice of the military and the intelligence establishment, and they were made seemingly for ideological and political. L. Paul Bremmer he was the civilian who was. Sent over to head the Coalition Provisional Authority the CPA the civilian authority structure in Iraq.
