This is the Friends of History Debating Society.

I am Gaius.

Jimannicus is here who are by the Thames and Lunditium in an autumn evening.

We'll go on to sacrifice to the great God Augustus, who is the inventor of institutions that exist in the 21st century,

where we spend a deal of time speculating about what comes next.

We have our retired centurions who are still unhappy with us because we spoke of the remains of their North African campaigns

in a fashion which we accepted that their victories did not lead to success. Not yet, guys. Okay, we're still

watching. However, we're turning now to a demonstration in the homeland called No Kings. I believe

it's happened before. The first time I heard of it, I thought it was some kind of betting

line. I really did. I got to confuse with something else where it's a sports gambling.

But no kings turns out to have been organized across the nation, many cities, and young people especially were keen on it.

They wore T-shirts and had signs and seemed in general protesting the vote of 2024

in which they must deal with a couple of facts.

One, the emperor won by a majority of the American people.

Two, he won the electoral college overwhelmingly.

And three, the campaign promises of 24 by the emperor are being acted upon, which

seemed to be the flashpoint for the no king's protest.

In other words, I don't even have to summarize that. You all get it.

They're protesting the outcome of a democratic vote. Okay. However, because we're Romans,

we're a little puzzled as to why young people especially are getting involved in this,

because the empire doesn't overlook dissent. Never. It stays with it. It's relentless.

Descent is something that is very important to watch. The empire doesn't ever intend to be seen
