WEBVTT - Victor’s Message from the Moon | NLP Replay

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Native lamdpod is a production of iHeartRadio and partnership with

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Reason Choice Medium to make Andrew smile. We also have

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 1>astronaut VICI lover sharing some profound words.

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 2>As artimist the best part.

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, Andrew smile.

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:22.159
<v Speaker 3>You know I don't have anything prepared. I'm glad you

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 3>brought that up, though. I think these observances are important,

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 3>and as we are so far from Earth and looking

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 3>back at you know, the beauty of creation. I think

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 3>the for me, one of the really important personal perspectives

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 3>that I have up here is I can really see

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Earth as one thing. And you know, when I read

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 3>the Bible and I look at all of the amazing

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 3>things that were done for us who were created, it's you.

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.599
<v Speaker 3>You have this amazing place, this spaceship. You guys are

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 3>talking to us because we're in a spaceship really far

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 3>from Earth, but you're on a spaceship called Earth that

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 3>was created to give us a place to live in

0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 3>the universe and the cosmos. Maybe the distance we are

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 3>from you makes you think what we're doing is special,

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.199
<v Speaker 3>But we're the same distance from you, and I'm trying

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 3>to tell you, just trust me, you are special in

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 3>all of this emptiness. This is a whole bunch of nothing.

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 3>This thing we call the universe, you have this oasis,

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 3>this beautiful place that we get to exist together. I

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 3>think as we go into Easter Sunday, thinking about you know,

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 3>all the cultures all around the world, whether you celebrated

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.959
<v Speaker 3>or not, whether you believe in God or not, this

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 3>is an opportunity for us to remember where we are,

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 3>who we are, and that we are the same thing,

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.120
<v Speaker 3>and that we got to get through this together.

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I just want to I want people to show. I

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>want people to know the type of symmetry we have

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>on this show, which is native land. Because you've had

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.119
<v Speaker 1>the poetry and the great poets we just talked about

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>offset Gucci Man, and now this poetry that we just heard,

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean Victor Glover, I mean that that is I

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>mean poetry to my ears.

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I was saying that Gucci Man is the next person

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 2>set to go into space and travel around the moon.

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Think I heard that someone. Now, what we try not

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 2>to do on this show is frick information. Like he's

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 2>been to the before. Maybe he just saw some space

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 2>bank cap. I don't know, but I do I do

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:21.920
<v Speaker 2>want to say though, like that was beautiful. Obviously what

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 2>possibility looks like. Representation matters. But I'm looking at this

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 2>black man, first woman to travel around the moon. We

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 2>can do this, we can do Can we solve racism?

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Can we can we address systemic inequality? And like what's

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 2>going on on earth? Very amazed at what is happening

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 2>in space, but like that really is a reminder of

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 2>what we do when we put our mind to something,

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 2>what we're able to accomplish.

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 1>But let me also tell you, let me tell you

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 1>my theory about this, uh miss Aaron, is that it's

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>not on black people. We got a lot of burden.

0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not that's not on him or on uh on,

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>on Christina Cox, the first woman who is who is

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 2>also on this artemist mission, Like it is, what can

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the rest of us? What can the rest of y'all?

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I guess I should say be doing to address the

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>challenges that we have here on earth.

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 4>To steal me, you know, I think that's fair point, Aaron.

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 4>And I think part of what he was there to do,

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 4>aside from captain the ship, I think he I think

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 4>he's he was the captain of the ship. Is that right?

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Or do we know you might have just made that up.

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>But that's okay, No, I think he is.

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, listen, he is a black man, in which

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 2>means he did a lot to get there, the.

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 4>First black man to travel that far from the Earth.

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 4>So I will say this, I think in part he

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 4>oh Lord, ankle, bracelets back to Miami. He is a captain.

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 4>He is the captain. Okay, I got it right. But

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 4>the point I wanted to make is that I think sometimes.

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 2>The navy.

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 4>Okay, sorry, I think he's the captain. Whatever he is,

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 4>he's either Captain such and such or he is the captain.

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 4>But either way, it's a privileged and honor. But but

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 4>what I think part, as we all know, all four

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 4>of us know this, the burden around this healing often

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 4>falls to us in the form of acceptability politics. This

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 4>adjacency to success and adjacency to power, adjacency to rare

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 4>experiences that are of honor, of positions of honor and dignity.

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 4>And when you get there, you're oftentimes rolled out there

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 4>as the person who then the white listenership or white

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 4>viewership where the racism problem in this country resides, and

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 4>not exclusively there, but predominantly there. They then get to

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 4>see you and say, oh, they're all not the same. Oh,

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.839
<v Speaker 4>there is difference, and there is diversity, because where I live,

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.359
<v Speaker 4>the people who look like that all do such and

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 4>such and such. I think it's dis I think it's

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 4>deplorable that people can be that simple minded, can be that.

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 4>As my daddy used to say, don't be simple, signed

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.839
<v Speaker 4>don't be simple, which is, by my standard, the worst

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 4>insult you could get from your daddy, because that was

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 4>just basically, don't be dumb. But so often we find

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 4>ourselves having to carry that burden, even though we didn't

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 4>create the problem and we're not the ones who are

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 4>the cure to the problem, but we're oftentimes treated not

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 4>only like the people who who who made the mess,

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.039
<v Speaker 4>and also the maids who have to come behind to

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 4>clean the mess up. And I just I'm proud for

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 4>that brother, because I hope he feels pride and what

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 4>he's doing in this moment of relief he's given us

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.840
<v Speaker 4>here on earth where it feels like hell. But I

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 4>also hope that he has relieved himself, given this status

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 4>and what he's achieved from the burden of having to

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 4>be the acceptable one for receptional one.
