12:53 am
not at all. if you look at the recent events, all too frustrating and similar to decades past. the situation, i remember like it was yesterday and i asked for help from the police where it was like an emergency. and then i became the victims as 3 police officers grabbed me and just throwing me down on the ground. and i had a bruise in my hand through my arm. i thought they were going to kill me. they're going to shoot me and little by 3 congregation, and it was the work experience of my life that i have probably not want to ever, ever live again. i was so sick and because i, i grew up in a normal or orthodox family. you know, we're not gangsters. you know,
12:54 am
no one has a guy and we don't have any hoodie, i thought the police are to help me. why aren't they helping me? it's history that repeated itself over and over and over again. and it hasn't been fixed or my great grandfather george times very that combination 19, you know, in the great depression. so it's moving. it's the same thing. just a different version. over the years i've been living in moscow for one year. exactly. i teach english. i'm a teacher, i feel free and living in russia in rush, no matter what time it is, i can walk outside and they were sitting
12:55 am
outside the metro livable bench area. i remember the police office district was up to walking towards us and my hearts beating fast like simple. why? because you know, living in america, please try your traumatize and i was like, we'll talk, i'm scared. and then like all my friends just moved here from america, she rush it like really 5 minutes later that same police officer comes back with the biggest bouquet of flowers, a stranger and tells me welcome to russia. you belong here. me. i do the line here. it's a piece of me and the more the more i'm here, the more i feel that i'm not going anywhere. the lessons that i meet here. first, they're like, okay, your partner that when a depression and then wait, wait, wait to national list. the more
12:56 am
discussion thing is that they will start symbols at the thought of billy louis louis displayed in the future. feel, feel still, boom would be on the doors with feel a little sandwich dealing with them with the look at that village. my young gotten here, your 15 to 16 if things are not always secret jelly and you're a junior to really nature if you're just losing a gun before listen, you did. screen burning yesterday says can say you style is building new york and lashley such as bobbers because the sca smoke i knew what you got to talk at mama, brazil as reason. it took me yes. leisure suit into more talk or she chose my yeah
12:57 am
12:58 am
i the, ah, the war may have become americans. but a warning defeat had become even more important and was unfolded watershed moment. okay. down in history books. as a mocking beginning of the end of american preeminence, this is the end of america. ah ah, the pacific leg around the world expedition 5000
