[SPEAKER_00] Thank you. [SPEAKER_01] Like the first water, pipe is on nearly low. [SPEAKER_00] Onion, garlic, wheat, tomato, fresh or dried... [SPEAKER_00] Mechanical forging of all dimensions and specifications. [SPEAKER_01] Price of me, now represented in America by Lang & Associates. [SPEAKER_01] If your joints expruthiate, ears sanguinate, or feet distend and tumify, [SPEAKER_00] you have but one new... [SPEAKER_00] dat is een varken dat is een hond dat is een hond [SPEAKER_00] Hey, dat is nog een hond. [SPEAKER_00] Dat is een kat. [SPEAKER_00] Dat zijn schapen. [SPEAKER_00] Dat is een hond. [SPEAKER_00] Dat is een paard! [SPEAKER_00] Dat is een blad. [SPEAKER_00] Dat is een kip. [SPEAKER_00] Dat is een rat. [SPEAKER_00] Dat is een paard. [SPEAKER_02] If I may, I was curious about your past with Braddock. [SPEAKER_02] You two clearly have a history. [SPEAKER_01] Edward was one of us upon a time. [SPEAKER_01] and I considered him a close friend. [SPEAKER_01] He was brave and bold in ways few men are. [SPEAKER_01] But everything changed at the siege of Bergen-Op-Zum. [SPEAKER_01] We had lost the fortress to the French [SPEAKER_01] and were in the midst of egress. [SPEAKER_01] There was a skiff hidden at the port with which we planned to make our escape. [SPEAKER_01] As we drew near, a young man and his family came upon us, [SPEAKER_01] begging for safe passage. [SPEAKER_01] I consented, [SPEAKER_01] but Edward refused. [SPEAKER_01] The young man called him. [SPEAKER_01] Kraven, then. [SPEAKER_01] So Edward killed him and all the rest. [SPEAKER_01] Even the children? [SPEAKER_01] To this day, I don't know why. [SPEAKER_01] Was this the first time he'd struck out? [SPEAKER_01] Or had I simply never seen it before? [SPEAKER_01] Either way, things were never the same after that. [SPEAKER_01] We campaigned together a few more times, [SPEAKER_01] but each outing was more disturbing than the last. [SPEAKER_00] He killed, killed. [SPEAKER_01] Enemy or ally. [SPEAKER_01] civilian or soldier guilty or innocent it mattered not if he perceived one to be an obstacle they [SPEAKER_01] died he maintained that violence was a more efficient solution it became his mantra and it [SPEAKER_01] broke my heart i had no idea he hides it well and intimidates into silence any who discover him [SPEAKER_01] those who persist [SPEAKER_01] have a tendency to find misfortune. [SPEAKER_02] And we should stop him. [SPEAKER_01] I suppose you're right. [SPEAKER_01] But I maintain a foolish hope that he might yet be saved [SPEAKER_01] and brought back round to reason. [SPEAKER_00] I know, I know. [SPEAKER_01] It's a silly thing to believe that one so drenched in death [SPEAKER_01] might suddenly change. [SPEAKER_02] I'm sorry to have brought this up. [SPEAKER_02] It was not my intent to sour you. [SPEAKER_01] Nonsense. We are brothers now. [SPEAKER_01] There should be no secrets between us. [SPEAKER_00] Bergen op zomers in Nederland. [SPEAKER_03] But that's not what guided me, no [SPEAKER_03] For me, it was a less abstract thing [SPEAKER_00] I like money [SPEAKER_01] There are other paths to fortune [SPEAKER_03] Nothing else is as precious nor so desperately craved [SPEAKER_03] And no price is too great for the man or woman who fears an abrupt end [SPEAKER_01] permanent end your words are cruel benjamin but true as well you took an oath to help people [SPEAKER_03] did you not i abide the oath which makes no mention of price i merely require compensation [SPEAKER_01] fair compensation for my services and if they lack the [SPEAKER_03] funds. Then there are others who will serve them. Does a baker grant free bread [SPEAKER_03] to a beggar? Does the tailor offer a dress to the woman who cannot afford to [SPEAKER_01] pay? No. Why should I? You said it yourself. Nothing is more precious than life. [SPEAKER_03] Indeed. All the more reason one should ensure they have the means to preserve it. [SPEAKER_00] Daar ben ik het al mee eens. [SPEAKER_02] I hope you and the general find a way to patch things up. [SPEAKER_02] Don't let me keep you, sir. [SPEAKER_02] I'm sure you have more important things to do. [SPEAKER_00] Charles Lee was a British. [SPEAKER_00] soldier went on to be a major figure in the revolutionary war lee's father was a colonel [SPEAKER_00] in the british army and started his son off in a military career early he was sent to a military [SPEAKER_00] academy in switzerland during his formative years and then in 1764 lee became an ensign in [SPEAKER_00] switzerland [SPEAKER_00] father's regiment. Lee was sent to the colonies in 1755 to fight back in the French and Indian [SPEAKER_00] war. He served under Edward Braddock and then later at Fort Ticonderoga where he was injured [SPEAKER_00] in the fighting. Lee recovered and later fought at Fort Niagara. [SPEAKER_00] I had always thought there was a lot of fort fights fought. [SPEAKER_00] He finished his time in colonies with the British conquest of Montreal. [SPEAKER_00] Lee returned to England in 1760, possibly because he was seeking career advancement. [SPEAKER_00] He was named a Major in 1761. [SPEAKER_00] was sent to fight the Spanish in Portugal. [SPEAKER_00] Though his service record there was good, [SPEAKER_00] Lee didn't receive praise on his return home. [SPEAKER_00] In fact, he was retired from the army at half pay. [SPEAKER_00] After that, Lee became a vocal critic of military higher-ups [SPEAKER_00] and the British prime minister. [SPEAKER_00] thought that his military of he found and the british prime minister minister and a british [SPEAKER_00] prime minister and fought found after that lee became a vocal critic of military higher-ups [SPEAKER_00] and the british prime minister and found that his military career had inexplicably completely stalled [SPEAKER_00] Benjamin Franklin was a renowned inventor, diplomat, and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. [SPEAKER_00] Translation, he was a rock star of the age. [SPEAKER_00] He was a rock star of the age. [SPEAKER_00] Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston in 1706, the 10th son of a soap maker, 10 sons, I guess [SPEAKER_00] his parents couldn't afford a television and also there was no television. [SPEAKER_00] He began working for his brother in 1718. [SPEAKER_00] as an apprentice printer however their relationship was rocky particularly after the elder franklin [SPEAKER_00] found out that young benjamin had been writing for the paper under a pseudonym silence too good [SPEAKER_00] and writing an extremely popular column that human nature being what it is the fact that the column [SPEAKER_00] was popping [SPEAKER_00] popular, was probably the bigger problem. Benjamin ran away in 1723 and headed for Philadelphia [SPEAKER_00] where he continued his career in printing and writing, eventually buying the Pennsylvania [SPEAKER_00] said the business i mean not just the copy that would have been one of his lesser achievements [SPEAKER_00] he stayed in philadelphia [SPEAKER_00] he stayed in philadelphia for most of his life that is when he wasn't making extended trips to [SPEAKER_00] europe [SPEAKER_00] Franklin had a talent for persuasion, and that made him an ideal diplomat. [SPEAKER_00] In 1775, he went to London to represent Pennsylvania in an ongoing legal battle with the Penn family. [SPEAKER_00] It was the first of several extended political trips to Britain, and he would [SPEAKER_00] act as the state representative of massachusetts georgia and new jersey as well in fact franklin [SPEAKER_00] was in europe for most of the revolution though he was in the columns to help with the writing [SPEAKER_00] of the declaration of independence franklin was a vocal opponent of british impositions [SPEAKER_00] on the colonies [SPEAKER_00] like the Stamp Act. And although he first fought for the rights of colonists, as British citizens [SPEAKER_00] he eventually became convinced, like many of the founding fathers, that independence was the only [SPEAKER_00] real solution. Unfortunately, Franklin's change of heart made him clash with [SPEAKER_00] his son william who served as the royal governor of new jersey william remained an active loyalist [SPEAKER_00] the father and son never spoke again when he wasn't founding a new nation and destroying [SPEAKER_00] his family in the process franklin was a scientist inventing things like biblicals [SPEAKER_00] and more efficient wood stoves when he [SPEAKER_00] wasn't mapping the gulf stream and discovering how electricity works. [SPEAKER_00] What have you done today? [SPEAKER_00] Made yourself a microwave meal and sat about in your underwear? [SPEAKER_00] Oh, well done you. [SPEAKER_00] He was also quite the lady killer. [SPEAKER_00] Jesus, this guy. [SPEAKER_00] Carrying on several friendships with a woman while he was in Europe. [SPEAKER_00] jesus this guy carrying on several friendships with women while he was in europe the record [SPEAKER_00] the records the records don't say what exactly they saw in him [SPEAKER_00] they certainly not his looks maybe a woman like a man whose intelligence [SPEAKER_00] if that was true [SPEAKER_00] I wouldn't be here [SPEAKER_00] I'd be in Portugal surrounded by them [SPEAKER_00] and you'd be [SPEAKER_00] looking at a blank screen [SPEAKER_00] William Johnson [SPEAKER_00] William Johnson was a land [SPEAKER_00] speculator [SPEAKER_00] and Britain's [SPEAKER_00] principal treaty negotiator [SPEAKER_00] with the [SPEAKER_00] in [SPEAKER_00] indigenous peoples in the northern part of the colonies, particularly the Iroquois. [SPEAKER_00] The Iroquois Johnson was born in Ireland but moved to the colonies in 1738 to look after [SPEAKER_00] his uncle's property on the Mohawk River. [SPEAKER_00] However, it wasn't long before Johnson branched out into business for himself, acquire property on the opposite side of the river, setting up a sawmill and trading post, which he named Mount Johnson, which to me always sounds. [SPEAKER_00] like mating instructions from a caveman in 1743 [SPEAKER_00] he moved to an even larger parcel of land which he named fort johnson [SPEAKER_00] he may have been an excellent businessman but it's possible he lacked an imagination [SPEAKER_00] Johnson befriended the indigenous peoples in the area, particularly the [SPEAKER_00] Kenyan Kihaka, whose language he learned. His respect for their customs helped him [SPEAKER_00] rise to prominence as Liaisen between the Iroquois and the [SPEAKER_00] Kwai's people and the British government. Johnson was named Superintendent of Indian [SPEAKER_00] Affairs in 1765 as a contact who knows the land and its people. He's probably the best [SPEAKER_00] you'll find. [SPEAKER_00] John Pitcairn. In 1754, John Pitcairn was a young captain in the British Marine Corps. [SPEAKER_00] He fought in the French and Indian War, but I can't find much about his post. [SPEAKER_00] postings. He listed as being on the HMS Lancaster during the capture of Louisbourg in Canada. [SPEAKER_00] No record of him being on the American side of the colonies. But it seems he did some [SPEAKER_00] covert work as well. That would explain the lack of details. Pitcairn was promoted to [SPEAKER_00] Major in 1917. [SPEAKER_00] 71 and he gained a reputation for being well liked by subordinates and praised [SPEAKER_00] by his enemies that's difficult trick to pull off maybe he had a lovely smile
