I mean, Peeps is one of those people who swore by the stuff.
He said, you know, this is the only thing that saved me while others have died around me.
Hello and welcome to Empire with me, Anita Arnand.
So episode four of our Simon Bolivar miniseries now.
And in our last episode, we saw Bolivar seeing off his liberal vice president and being pronounced Presidente Liberator.
You know, you were asking about what was going through his mind at the time.
You know, what was he thinking?
What was he wanting here?
He gives this address, William, after he's seen off all the opposition at Ocaña, at that constitutional meeting where they were ganging up against him.
And when he's sort of declared president liberator, he talks about liberty, but he's a little bit sort of fudgy about what liberty means for the people of Gran Colombia.
So he is certainly getting darker.
Would you want to do it in your boomy voice?
This is the end of his gracious acceptance.
Go on, boom it.
Well, he's just named himself the man who will, you know, wield all power.
He holds absolute power at this point.
There are examples, actually, which the dark side, you know, the transformation of Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader is complete.
Because he's such a magnetic character to the Bolivar ego, he is the man who could challenge him and can actually have men follow him.
So just to give you an idea of Padilla, he has been honoured in Colombian stamps because Colombia embraces his name and reputation in 1974.
Let me tell you a little bit about Padilla.
