Political Judgement

Host: Welcome friends, Romans, and countrymen, to Political Judgement! I have with me Brutus and Cassius, conspirators and assassins of Julius Caesar.


Brutus: We are liberators, not assassins.

Host: Yes, of course good Brutus. How did you see Caesar as a leader?

Cassius: Caesar did not cause any harm to Rome while he was dictator, in fact, he was an admirable leader. It was what he would have become that I detest.

Brutus: Yes, Caesar was a great leader and a great Roman, but his ambitions would have changed all of that for the worst.


Host: What are your views on Mark Antony and Why did you decide not to kill him along with Caesar?

Cassius: At first I though we needed to kill Antony in case he tried to seek vengeance for Caesar, but I later realized that it wouldn't be necessary.

Host: Do you think Antony may become a threat against you?

Cassius: When we last spoke to Antony, he was very understanding of our cause. He did not question our reasons for killing Caesar.

Brutus: As I have said before, Antony is merely a limb of Caesar. With Caesar dead, Antony is no threat to us.

Host: What about Antony's speech at Caesar's funeral? It caused quite an uprising with the commoners.

Brutus: I believe Antony's speech was misconstrued by the public.

Cassius: He did not speak ill of us, the commoners were simply looking for a reason to lash out against us. They have no true loyalty.

Host: I'm afraid this is all the time we have on Political Judgement. Thank you Brutus and Cassius for speaking with me.

Brutus: Good morrow.

Cassius: Good morrow.
