1 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: Good morning, Pete Sen. Welcome to Wika F Daily with 2 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody. Prerecording from the Home Bunker. Folks, 3 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: Today is Indigenous People's Day, and we have named it 4 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: this day because many years ago, not many years ago, 5 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,919 Speaker 1: I guess a couple of years ago, now we decided 6 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: as a country, or some people decided as a country, 7 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: maybe only half of us. Who the fuck knows at 8 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: this point that we weren't going to give credit or 9 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: celebrate a racist, rapist, misogynist explorer who believe that they 10 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: could discover a place where people were already living and 11 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: had already been living for generations. And so Columbus Day 12 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: would be renamed Indigenous People's Day. But what I realized 13 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: as we take time off for this holiday, is that 14 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: we tallet Indigenous People's Day, but we don't actually talk 15 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: about Indigenous people. We don't talk about their suffering, we 16 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: don't talk about their brilliance, we don't talk about their ingenuity. 17 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: We don't actually teach about the indigenous people of this country. 18 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: You know, I can remember a time many many years ago, 19 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: many many moons ago, being in elementary school, and you know, 20 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: on this day or as we were getting ready to 21 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. And mind you, I saw this recently, 22 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: and I was appalled. We would cut out little pilgrim hats, 23 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: you know, from the black construction paper, and cut out 24 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: feathers and moccasins, and the teachers in the classroom would 25 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: have cornucopia and there would be these lovely stories right 26 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,119 Speaker 1: about the Pilgrims and at that time Indians, which now 27 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: we refer to as Native Americans, because you see, when 28 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: you know better, you were supposed to actually do better. Right, 29 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: just because something has always been one way doesn't mean 30 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: that once you've received more information that you can't make 31 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: a pivot. And a couple of years ago, I think 32 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: I might have been home visiting my family on Long 33 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: Island and I saw kids getting off of the school 34 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: bus and I was shocked and appalled because they had 35 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: the same fucking cutouts that I had had decades earlier, 36 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 1: that they were still carrying home from school, the same out. 37 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: So the pilgrim hats and the moccasins and all of this, 38 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: and we're going to learn about you know, Columbus, and 39 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: we're going to learn about you know, Thanksgiving, And I'm like, 40 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: why is it so god damn hard to just tell 41 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: the truth once you learn it, because I'm not saying 42 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: that from the beginning of time we should have you 43 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:32,119 Speaker 1: know that we understood who these people were. And what 44 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: America loves to do is that they love to and 45 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: this is present right with actors and directors who we 46 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: want to still love their art but then condemn the 47 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: people that have been sexual predators or what have you. Like, 48 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: we still want to celebrate and listen to certain music 49 00:03:53,520 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: and watch certain movies and not make the connection between 50 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: the actions of said explorer or said actor and what 51 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: we have benefited from their experience. And I don't understand 52 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: why we make it so difficult to do both. And 53 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: you can acknowledge right that without Columbus, without Columbus having 54 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: drunkenly sailed around and didn't actually discover America, because again, 55 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: you can't discover something that is already inhabited. You can't 56 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: discover a place that is already inhabited. And it wasn't 57 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,679 Speaker 1: even America that he fucking landed on. That we wouldn't 58 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: have been able to connect continents in a certain way. 59 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: We wouldn't understand things about geography, things about our Earth, 60 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: and the planet and the water and all of these things. 61 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: And so you can acknowledge that by virtue of his 62 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: exploration that we learned a lot more about the planet 63 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: and its people. You can recognize that, and then also 64 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: understand that he was a rapist, murderer, savage, right like 65 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: he wanted to call the people that welcomed and with 66 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: open arms, these community minded indigenous people welcoming these strangers, 67 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: thinking that they are just as loving and open and 68 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: community minded and earth minded as they are. Unbeknownst to them, 69 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: they literally invited the vampires into their house. Right. You 70 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: can tell both of those stories, because both of them 71 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: are fucking true. But what America does is whitewash and 72 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: eliminate anything anything that is negative about their precious white explorers, 73 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: or their precious white presidents, or their precious white you know, inventors, 74 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: and leave everything else out so that all we're left 75 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: to believe, which is what is the foundation of white 76 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: supremacist ideology, is that white people are the end all 77 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: be all of all things, right, that they are the builders. 78 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: Without white people, Oh my god, where would the planet be. 79 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: I would argue, maybe probably in better shape than with 80 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: the white people that have been in charge of it. 81 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: Thus far, I would argue that we would have a 82 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: better understanding of who we are as a people, and 83 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: I mean all people. The contributions of all people to 84 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: define this nation would have made us stronger because we 85 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: would then be working from this collective, communal understanding of 86 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: how each and every community in this nation is integral 87 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: to the success of this nation. But we didn't do that. 88 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: White cis hetero men in charge of all things decided 89 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: that they were the ones to be carved in marble, 90 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: that their accomplishments and theirs alone were the ones to 91 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: lift up and celebrate, so much so that we created 92 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: entire histories and curriculums and good, good bedtime stories about 93 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: the founding of this nation and these great men and 94 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: the Founding Fathers and all of these things without contextualizing 95 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: what was actually happening with the rest of the fucking 96 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: people that inhabited this country. You can talk right about 97 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: the genius and the creativity of the founding fathers in 98 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: their creation of the constitution and this idea of a democracy, 99 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: and also talk about the fact that they alone would 100 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: dictate who was considered human and who wasn't. That while 101 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: they were screaming and dumping tea in the ocean about 102 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: their own oppression, that they shackled human beings, raped and 103 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: tortured them, broke apart families and destroyed tried to, I 104 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: will say, try to destroy the soul of black people, 105 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: enslaved African people, indigenous people, but they did not succeed there. 106 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: Hey there, I want to tell you about another podcast 107 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: I think you'll love.

We are suffering 125 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: right now from generation's worth of lies. We are suffering 126 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: right now because of the lies about a stolen election, 127 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: of the lies that a former twice in peach, disgrace, 128 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: treason as former president told about Mexicans being rapist caravans 129 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: coming to invade your suburban community. We need to put 130 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 1: them in cages in order to keep you safe. Lied 131 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: about there being good people on both sides of when 132 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: we are one side is hailing Nazi salutes and the 133 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: other side is fighting for justice. Those lies wouldn't have 134 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: been able to take hold if we had actually taken 135 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: the time and done the work to educate the masses 136 00:11:53,800 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: of the truth of this nation. Contrary to what Ronda 137 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: Santis out of Florida believes, that doesn't create white guilt. 138 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: What it creates is a system of accountability and responsibility. 139 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: What it does is allow us to understand the signs 140 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: clearly of what it looks like when fascism and authoritarianism 141 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: begin to take hold, because you will have learned about it, 142 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: maybe we wouldn't be in a situation where we need 143 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: to continue to chant that black lives matter, because you 144 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: would have learned how black lives have shaped this country, 145 00:12:50,840 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: bringing you everything from stoplights to jazz, to the cotton gym, 146 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:16,239 Speaker 1: to equity injustice, to so many accomplishments, to the mathematic 147 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: equation that allowed for man to land on the moon. 148 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: The question that I always asked and wish that I 149 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: could really ask if I could sit down with one 150 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: of these white supremacists politicians who are so hell bent 151 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: on pushing back against any form of anti racist teachings, 152 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: any form of critical race theory, which, by the way, 153 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, is not taught in schools in K through 154 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: twelve schools. What has been worked on since I've been 155 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: in elementary school is the inclusion of everyone else's narrative 156 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: and contributions that make this country what it is. So 157 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: what I would ask is, what are you afraid of? 158 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: Why are you so terrified of the entire truth of 159 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: this nation? Wouldn't it make people even more patriotic to 160 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: see that when we know better, when we learn and 161 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: then know better that we seek to do better with 162 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: each and every generation. Why is it And I did 163 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: not say this, but somebody else had said it. Why 164 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: is it that the RHN de santiss and the Mark 165 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: Marco Rubios and the Ted cruises, Why do they believe that? 166 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: Why people would only identify with the worst in this 167 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: nation and make them feel bad. Why is it so 168 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: hard to think that they could identify with leaders and 169 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: innovators and entertainers that don't look like them, but could 170 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: also be inspired by their stories. That's the question that 171 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: I would ask. I don't want to debate these motherfuckers 172 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: because they don't debate with facts, and they're stupid, frankly, 173 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: and I'll say that I don't give a fuck they are. 174 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: You hear some of the ship that comes out of 175 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: their mouth, You're like, damn, our education system really is broken. 176 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: And some of you motherfucker's paid to go to school, 177 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: to go to private school, and you're still stupid. But 178 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: the fact is that I think that we debate the 179 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: wrong things because I'm not here to debate the merits 180 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: of my humanity. No, I'm here to ask you what 181 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: you are afraid of? Because you are clearly, clearly terrified 182 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: of people understanding the truth, of people seeing the value 183 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: outside of being chadow, the value of black lives, Indigenous lives, 184 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: Latin X lives, Asian Pacific Islanders, Asian lives. What is 185 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: so terrifying about the brilliance the genius of other people 186 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: that are not white sis hetero men? I would ask, 187 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: why are you so fragile? Why did you need to 188 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: create such tall tales about who you are and what 189 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: you've accomplished, Because there are some that have accomplished great things, 190 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: but we can tell the whole truth about the person. 191 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 1: It's the same way that you watch these leaders die 192 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: and then people say, well, don't speak ill of the dead. Well, 193 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: if you did not do good in life, remind me 194 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: why I should respect you in death. Now. I don't 195 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: mean to degrade anybody or spit on anybody's grade, but 196 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's fuck not going to talk about them 197 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: as this wondrous philanthropist when they're a colonizer and a thief. 198 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: We watch this play out with the death of the queen. 199 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: The death of the queen should have been the death 200 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: of the entirety of the idea of monarchy. Monarchies only 201 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: exist because of raping and pilla chain other nations taking 202 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: them over bit by bit, stealing their jewels and literally 203 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: putting them in your crown. So why is it that 204 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: people were pooh pooed for telling the entire truth about 205 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: what it is Queen Elizabeth was presiding over and what 206 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: her entire family generations benefited from. Now is not the time? 207 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: Tell me when the fucking time is. I never understand 208 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: when the right time is to do anything here. It's 209 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: not the right time, and the aftermath of it yet 210 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: another catastrophic once in a century storm. To talk about 211 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: climate change, it's never the right time. After a major 212 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: mass shooting takes away nineteen children's lives, never the right 213 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: time to talk about gun control. When another unarmed black 214 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: person is murdered by police, is never the right time 215 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: to talk about police reform. When we are looking at 216 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: a city or multiple cities in these United States that 217 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: don't have clean drinking water for taxpaying citizens, it's never 218 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: the right time to talk about systemic racism. And when 219 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: we have a federal holiday whose name has been changed 220 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: but the history hasn't really been taught, it's never the 221 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: right time. So my feeling, folks, is that we need 222 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: to make time. We need to use right these federal 223 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: holidays that again, not everybody gets to take off, but 224 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: I'd like to say most people get to take off, 225 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: but I don't know the statistics. But we should use 226 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: this time that we're not having to toil away to rest. Yes, 227 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: but while we're resting, let's use the time to educate ourselves. 228 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: Let's learn a little bit and then let's share what 229 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: we have learned. Let's do a deep dive into who 230 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: Columbus was, what he did, where he actually went, and 231 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: share that with people. Because when we know better, when 232 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: we learn, we should want to teach, We should want 233 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: to share. We should want to uplift, not hide the 234 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: bad and hide behind the good or what you presume 235 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: to be the good. We need to tell the whole 236 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: story because generations from now, Lord only knows what type 237 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: of government even if this kind, who knows? I have 238 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: no idea what people will be living under forty years 239 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: from now. I know it won't be a democracy. Who 240 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: knows what education will look like. But I do know 241 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: that we have an opportunity right now to be able 242 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: to share information, real information, do our real research with 243 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: credible outlets and tell the truth. That was supposed to 244 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: be the beauty behind social media was to connect us more, 245 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: and all it's really done is divide us. But we 246 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: should take these opportunities when we have these collective holidays 247 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: to understand stand these holidays, because otherwise we just continue 248 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: to believe the lies that have been fed to us 249 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: our entire lives. And then turn around and wonder how 250 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: we got to the place that we're in. How we 251 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: have a quarter of the population that still is not 252 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: vaccinated because they believed that this was all a hoax. 253 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: Million plus people dead in this country, their neighbors, their friends, 254 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: and they still believe that this is all a hoax. 255 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: Tell the truth. Let's all tell the truth so that 256 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: we don't continue to repeat history over and over and 257 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: over again. That is it for me today, dear friends 258 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: on wokate f as always power to the people and 259 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: to all the people. Power, Get woke and stay woke 260 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: as fuck.
