00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:16.120
Hi everyone. This is Carmen and Christina and this is

2
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.559
another episode of Estoria's Unknown, a podcast where we talk

3
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:22.679
about Latin American history. Sometimes it's horrible and deals with

4
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.280
heavy topics like racism, corruption and genocide. But more than that,

5
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.120
it's also about resistance, power and community. Let's get into it.

6
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:40.039
So we are talking about Carlotta Lusumi and the Triunvirato rebellion.

7
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.880
I don't know anything about this. I'm excited, Okay. On

8
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.159
November fifth, eighteen forty three, and enslaved a woman named

9
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:53.520
the Carlotta Lusumi, also known as La Negra Carlotta Cuba

10
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.679
Cuba in the house. Now we're not like any episodes

11
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.560
about we don't write, I don't think, so this is

12
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.200
the first, I think. And anyway, what a cool way

13
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:09.239
of being known, right La Negra Carlotta Leguba. Yeah, anyway,

14
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.640
she let an uprising in Matanta, Scuba at the Tri

15
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.840
Birato sugar plantation. Not much is known about Carlotta, but

16
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.280
what is known is that she was an African born

17
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.280
free woman from the Kingdom of Benin in West Africa.

18
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.400
Her last name Lusumi comes from her ethnic group. And

19
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:32.879
hopefully I'm saying that right too. I was prodouncing it wrong.

20
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:39.760
They said, Lukumi, Oh, let's start, okay, shard start all

21
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:44.239
the way over. It's like I always said to sentences, Yeah, yeah, okay.

22
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.079
On November fifth, eighteen forty three, and enslaved woman named

23
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.959
Carlotta Lukumi, also known as La Negra Carlotta Lea Cuba

24
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.200
let an uprising in Matantas, Cuba at the trin Wirato

25
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.280
Sugar Plantation. Not much as known about Cardlota, but what

26
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.319
is known is that she was an African born freewoman

27
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:09.520
from the Kingdom of Benin in West Africa. Her last name,

28
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.840
Lukumi comes from her ethnic group, the Lukumi people, who

29
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:18.759
are descended from the Yoruba of present day Nigeria. Wow

30
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.080
Carlotta was kidnapped when she was around ten when she

31
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.240
became a victim of the slave trade, and she was

32
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:31.520
taken to the Madantas Province of Kuba. Like elsewhere, slavery

33
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.680
in Cuba was extremely harsh, but also by this time

34
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.919
slavery had been abolished in it and was being abolished

35
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.520
throughout the rest of Latin America. Yes, because the Haitian

36
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:49.879
revolutions sparks revolutions everywhere else, right, that was the first revolution,

37
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.080
like we learned from Haiti. Yeah, so I mean when

38
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:58.120
people say we owe it to Haiti, like we really do,

39
00:02:58.319 --> 00:02:59.719
because I don't know. I feel like a lot of

40
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.120
people discount Haiti when it comes to the revolution, and

41
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.439
a lot of people tend to like, oh, French Revolution,

42
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.360
the French Revolution. It's like, no, look at the Haitians

43
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:12.400
right now, that's a revolution. Due to the harsh conditions

44
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:16.120
and brutal treatment by the Spanish plantation owners, there were

45
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.840
several uprisings by enslaved people throughout the eighteen thirties and

46
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:24.280
eighteen thirties to eighteen forties, and Carlotta, along with another

47
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.680
enslaved woman, Fedmina, were inspired. Carlotta and Faimina got together

48
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:33.599
and started to plot a rebellion. Some sources say that

49
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.960
Carota and Fermina were lovers. If that's the case, good

50
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.879
for them, But there's not a lot like evidence out there.

51
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.919
Either there are two besties planning of revolution together, or

52
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:49.159
they're two girlfriends, and either way, I love them. Either way,

53
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.560
I'm here for it. Yeah, yeah, either way, I was

54
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:56.719
reading for them the whole time. Same. Unfortunately, A plantation

55
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.479
owner caught Fedimina as she was distributing information about the

56
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.680
rebellion to other enslaved people, and Fedmina was severely beaten

57
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.759
and then imprisoned. I should say, there's gonna be some

58
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.560
extreme violence that we're gonna talk about. Not like too much,

59
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.039
you tell, but like a little bit. Okay, yeah, worse

60
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.680
than this then yeahn get worse Okay. A different source

61
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.480
said that Femina was imprisoned for participating in a prior

62
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.439
rebellion that happened earlier in the year in August, but

63
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:31.079
that didn't deter Garrota, and she continued to organize the uprising.

64
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.879
Garota used the music to communicate and sent coded messages

65
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:40.160
to nearby and slave people to coordinate the rebellion, and

66
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:44.519
to be specific, Gadlota and her co conspirators used done

67
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.079
duns or talking drums to coordinate their attacks. Wow, have

68
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.120
you heard of talking drums? No? I'm assuming it's the

69
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.120
drum that's used in a lot of like music, but

70
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.360
I don't know what the talking part is. It's because

71
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:04.160
it mimics like voices. Voice. Yeah, so talking drums are

72
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.639
hourglass shaped instruments from West Africa. I know you've seen

73
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.480
pictures of it. I'm sure. Yeah, well I'm picturing the

74
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:13.439
ones you hit with your hands. Are those not it?

75
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.079
Well yeah, but there's like different shaped drums, but yeah,

76
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.879
they hit them with their hands, and so yeah, they're

77
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:22.800
from West Africa, so Carlota would yeah, yeah, you know

78
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:27.879
which ones? Yeah, uh huh. So Carlotta would have definitely

79
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.480
used them in her youth before she was taken from

80
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.000
what is modern day Nigeria. Finally, on November fifth, eighteen

81
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:41.319
forty three, Carlotta, along with other tribal leaders named Philip Naziso,

82
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:46.079
Manuel Ganga, and Eduardo, initiated the uprising, which is now

83
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.680
known as the Dumirato Rebellion. But first they liberated a

84
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.759
dozen slaves who had been imprisoned, including Femina Oh Good.

85
00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:00.160
Carlotta and her co conspirators brandished macetas the weapon to

86
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.800
the people, my favorite kind of soreed whatever it is.

87
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.639
I've been thinking, like, why don't I have one? No?

88
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.600
Where does one get one these days? I don't know? Actually, anyway,

89
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:18.040
they brandish much of this, and along along the way

90
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.079
they played the drums, calling other enslaved people to join

91
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:25.399
them in code. How beautiful riots and it's like music

92
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.360
was always used in this way. I'm so obsessed right

93
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:33.279
now because when you watch Sinners, oh my god, are

94
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:39.240
you serious? You will see the music that like how

95
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.720
it's portrayed in the movie and just I mean the

96
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.360
way it really was and is still today, but just

97
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.639
specifically in the movie. When you hear the music, you're

98
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.680
gonna be like, oh my god, like I had, Jill's

99
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.439
I cried. We were talking about Sinners right before we

100
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.879
started recording that. Yeah, because Christina just watched it and

101
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.439
I'm going to watch it later on this week. Yes,

102
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.800
especially Okay, there's like there's one scene. You'll see it

103
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.720
because it kind of it's what transitions the first act

104
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.040
of the movie into the second act of the movie,

105
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.480
so you'll see it right away when I'm talking about it.

106
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.600
But there's one scene first that the guy, the main character,

107
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.879
he sings so beautifully, like literal, like wow, what a voice.

108
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.000
But he's performing in their club that they opened, what

109
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.399
are they called Duke Joints, So he's performing in the

110
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.800
Duke Joint and that song when you hear it, you're

111
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.079
gonna know what I'm talking about. It's just it's insane

112
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:34.720
the way it was made like crazy. I don't want

113
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:38.240
to tell you more, Okay, I'm excited. So yeah, they

114
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:42.279
were using these talking drums to communicate and to get

115
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:45.319
other enslaved people to join them, and to the white

116
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:49.120
slave owners, this sounded like a ceremony being held by

117
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:54.439
the enslaves, so they suspected nothing amazing. Carlotta and the

118
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.399
rebels are burned down the house that was used to

119
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:03.399
torture them, and they killed the Overseers daughter, forcing Julian

120
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.759
Luis Alfonso, the owner of the plantation, to flee. But

121
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.600
then I saw other sources that said the overseers daughter

122
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:14.600
survived Carlota's attack and was later quoted saying that the

123
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:16.920
black women had shouted to other slaves that they should

124
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:21.079
hit her harder because she was still living. So I

125
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.920
don't know what's true because different sources said different things,

126
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:27.600
and it's hard to know because you know, it was

127
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.319
in terms of history that we talked about, yeah, a

128
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:34.600
little longer ago than what we're usually talking about. Carlotta

129
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:38.960
and the group then went to the Asana Plantation, a

130
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:42.679
neighboring plantation, and killed as many white people as they

131
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:46.039
could find. They kept going and and I think that

132
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.240
I don't know if people don't think about it, but

133
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.559
like back then, these people were there, like anyone white

134
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:58.759
to them is someone that the slaves them exactly exactly so,

135
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:00.080
because then they're like why do you have to be

136
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.600
raised into it? Like please? This is the dumbest topic

137
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:09.960
to say that too, So I shouldn't have preemptively defended that.

138
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:11.960
But you know what I mean, like some people don't

139
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:17.240
get it. Yeah, yeah, they kept going to neighboring plantations,

140
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:21.600
plantations and farms to free other enslaved people. In Toto Carlotta,

141
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.879
and the rebels destroyed five sugar plantations and an unknown

142
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:29.840
number of coffee and cattle estates. Initial reports of the

143
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:34.360
rebellion focused on the violence and the quote savagery of

144
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:39.720
the rebels, course of course, because early reports were written

145
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.679
were written by Spaniards, but a modern examination of the

146
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:49.080
records would show that the rebels possessed sophisticated military knowledge

147
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:53.279
and often outstarted the Spaniards and like historians compare it

148
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.480
to laggitty tactics from now, Oh I love it, I

149
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.759
love it. And in fact, many of the enslaved who

150
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:03.279
are anticipated in the rebellion were former soldiers before they

151
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:09.679
were captured and sold into slavery. Oh like back in Africa. Yeah,

152
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:19.480
ultimately the Spaniards with assistant from guess where, the US. Yeah, well,

153
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:24.039
it's because if the US let this go on to them,

154
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:29.200
it would threaten their own enslaved populations here, because that's

155
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.840
just inspiring. Of course, if you see the same people

156
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:34.759
as you standing up somewhere else, you can be hey,

157
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:36.840
they can do it, I can do it too, right,

158
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.639
And they were trying to stable like it was the

159
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:44.279
best quill to quell. Yes, exactly. So yeah, ultimately the

160
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:49.120
rebellion was quelled with assistance from the US. A few

161
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:53.440
sources differed regarding how long the rebellion lasted. One said

162
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.799
that authorities weren't able to quell the uprising until the

163
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.799
next year, but other sources said the rebell was squashed

164
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:04.399
the next day. So I'm not sure. I wonder. Yeah,

165
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:06.720
I think it did last until the next year, like

166
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:11.960
little uprisings here and there. Yeah, either way, A for

167
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.039
sure and known fact is that for her role in

168
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:20.679
the rebellion, Garlotta was tied to four horses and torn apart.

169
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:25.320
Oh I hate the Spanish same, They were truly the

170
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:30.639
savage Fermina was also executed. Later on. She and four

171
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.879
others who participated in the rebellion were shot and killed

172
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:38.440
in March eighteen forty four that year. In eighteen forty four,

173
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.919
it was brutal for the enslaved, since slave owners punished

174
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.320
all of the enslaved for the rebellion, even those that

175
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:49.159
were involved, and even those that were free were punished.

176
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.039
Eighteen forty four came to be known as the Year

177
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:57.200
of Lashes in Kubab. Oh my god, that sounds terrible right.

178
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.000
This was also an attempt to intimidate others to control

179
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.200
them at discouraged for their uprisings. But even with the

180
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.600
Year of Lashes, slave owners weren't able to stop the

181
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.120
word of Carlota's bravery from spreading throughout Kuba, and her

182
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:16.120
actions inspired various subsequent uprisings. The various uprisings that happened

183
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.399
after the Triumvirato rebellion became known as lascallera or the

184
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.960
ladder rebellions. This name came from one of the most

185
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:27.519
common methods of torture used against the enslaved. I found

186
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.720
a description of the ladder though it says, but here

187
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.159
they call it a raq. It says, it's a torture

188
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:35.679
device consisting of a rectangular, usually wooden frame. Well, it

189
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:38.440
looks like a ladder. It has a roller at one

190
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:41.480
or both ends. The victim's ankles are fastened to one

191
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.440
roller and the wrists are chained to the other, and

192
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:51.720
then a handle and ratchet mechanism attached to the top

193
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:55.799
roller or used to very gradually retract the chains, slowly

194
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:59.120
increasing the strain on the prisoner's shoulders, hips, knees, and

195
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:06.000
elbows and causing excruciating pain. Oh my god, damn wow.

196
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.200
And this must have been so wighly done that it

197
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.039
was then rebellion was named after this method of torture. Yeah.

198
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:17.919
The thrum Birato Rebellion and Lascallera rebellions marked the peak

199
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.200
of uprisings, and rebellions didn't pick up again until the

200
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:24.879
beginning of Kuba fighting for their independence against Spain in

201
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:29.679
eighteen sixty eight. Slavery continued in Cuba until eighteen eighty six,

202
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:33.320
when slavery was abolished. And I think I read I

203
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.399
forgot to note it here, but Kuba was one of

204
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.840
the last places in Latin America to abolish slavery. Wow.

205
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.919
I didn't know that. I want to say they were

206
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.879
second to last, and I don't remember for sure, but

207
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.720
I think Brazil was the last last. Yeah, I think so.

208
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.039
In present day, there's a monument of Carlotta Lukumi at

209
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.159
the trim Birato Sugar Milt to honor her legacy. Oh wow,

210
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.960
that's amazing. That's wild that it still took so long

211
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:06.279
for them to abolish ye slavery from her, like the

212
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.720
time of her death. And obviously these things aren't they

213
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:12.000
don't just happen. It is like all these extra of

214
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:16.080
rebellions and the literal rebellion that forces their hands. They're

215
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:24.759
not just saying all right, well let's free everyone. Yeah, okay,

216
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.080
well thanks for those notes. Again, I don't know if

217
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.320
we announce everything, but we're doing short notes to catch

218
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.919
up so we can be back to like weekly and

219
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:36.759
it's good to mix it up every once in a while.

220
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:39.080
We don't always have the longest notes, okay, they can

221
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.559
They can't all be one hour and a half long

222
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:47.200
or one hour you know, so yeah, thanks for sharing.

223
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:59.240
I do have a short bullshit segment, thank you, so

224
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.960
one just I guess overall update in general, but gi

225
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.639
mad Abrego Garcia was moved out of SECO into another prison.

226
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.799
But as if we've said many times on East Tonia's

227
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:16.480
unknown and if you're an OJI listener, you know by now,

228
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:20.679
although e Echo is the worst of the worst prisons,

229
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:24.080
the rest of the prisons are still terrible. And yeah,

230
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:27.799
people are dying, people are being tortured and abused, and

231
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:30.519
even in these prisons, right, so while people are out

232
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.240
here screaming sick, sick, SICKO, the other prisons are not

233
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:36.240
all of the prisons. Yeah, yeah, it's all of the prisons,

234
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:40.440
and so people are celebrating that, and I just want

235
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:44.519
to reiterate that all the prisons are bad. And yes,

236
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:47.159
again Secho is the worst, and supposedly, allegedly it was

237
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:50.679
like only it was the prison made for gangs specifically,

238
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.480
and there's only men there and supposedly all gang members.

239
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.480
And while the other prisons are where the all the

240
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.559
other people, uh, non gangs, non gang members, all the

241
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:05.080
innocent civilians and activists and teachers and dissidents, that's where

242
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:09.679
all they're all being arrested, and children included. And again,

243
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.000
torture and abuses happening in all these other prisons. They're

244
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.519
already all overcrowded, So he's just moving out of one

245
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:20.399
terrible place into another terrible place. And I believe that

246
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:22.919
the other people that we know that were sent there

247
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.440
and they're still in Techo, like all of them. So

248
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:29.000
I love Venezuelans, yes, and speaking of Venezuelans, but could

249
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:33.799
I propose a deal that would free the disappeared Venezuelans.

250
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.919
And how does he all of a sudden have the

251
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.879
power to make these deals when before he was saying

252
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:47.159
that he didn't have the power to return any of them. Ridiculous, right,

253
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:49.360
it doesn't make sense. But he said he would free Venezuelan,

254
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.799
said that Trumpetvertatian deported to and San Raloa if Venezuela

255
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:56.320
released the same number of prisoners, including members of the opposition,

256
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:03.159
people against Venezuela. I guess, yeah, like against Maluo regime. Yeah, okay,

257
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:06.559
so yeah, he said, I want to propose a humanitarian

258
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:09.960
agreement that includes the repatriation of one hundred percent of

259
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:13.039
the two for the two Venezuelans who were deported in

260
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:16.519
exchange for the release and surrender of an identical number

261
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:19.759
of the thousands of political prisoners you hold. But that's

262
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.039
rich coming from Bucla, who was also holding political prisoners.

263
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:25.200
I know, I was just gonna say that, like, look

264
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:32.599
who's talking. Yeah, so yeah, I have been enjoying I've

265
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:36.079
seen more and more post on TikTok of people saying

266
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:41.880
that they fail for bukheist spell and are now opening

267
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.799
their eyes. Do I wish or happened to nor? Yeah,

268
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:49.799
but you know, better late than ever. I guess, agreed, agreed,

269
00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:57.279
and yeah that is the Buka bullshit segment today. All right,

270
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:02.039
I guess that brings us to the end of the episode. Yes,

271
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:05.359
we hope that this was one last historian unknown for you.

272
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:09.039
Bye bye,
