00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:07.200 align:middle line:84%
And a moment to wipe a
little bit of the moisture.

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:10.090 align:middle line:84%
In Fresno, it's hot, but
apparently, when we got here,

00:00:10.090 --> 00:00:11.880 align:middle line:90%
we also brought the humidity.

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:13.140 align:middle line:90%
My apologies.

00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:15.950 align:middle line:90%


00:00:15.950 --> 00:00:17.450 align:middle line:84%
In the Central
Valley of California,

00:00:17.450 --> 00:00:20.000 align:middle line:84%
we often celebrate
Joaquin Murietta.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.870 align:middle line:84%
We do a trail, parade of
sorts, honoring his journey,

00:00:23.870 --> 00:00:30.740 align:middle line:84%
honoring his sort of identity
as like bandit hero, vigilante.

00:00:30.740 --> 00:00:32.299 align:middle line:84%
Something I didn't
even realize is

00:00:32.299 --> 00:00:35.300 align:middle line:84%
that I had embedded the reality
that he had been lynched.

00:00:35.300 --> 00:00:37.760 align:middle line:84%
Even though he's a person who
may or may not have existed,

00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:41.390 align:middle line:84%
and who may or may not
have his head in a jar that

00:00:41.390 --> 00:00:45.530 align:middle line:84%
got sent around California
in a barnstorming, for $1,

00:00:45.530 --> 00:00:47.150 align:middle line:90%
you could see his head.

00:00:47.150 --> 00:00:49.110 align:middle line:84%
Later on, there
was an earthquake.

00:00:49.110 --> 00:00:52.040 align:middle line:84%
And in that earthquake,
actually realized

00:00:52.040 --> 00:00:56.750 align:middle line:84%
that a hedge fund manager
still owns his head.

00:00:56.750 --> 00:00:58.460 align:middle line:90%
Maybe this is for him.

00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:01.835 align:middle line:84%
May that hedge fund
manager sleep well.

00:01:01.835 --> 00:01:05.300 align:middle line:90%


00:01:05.300 --> 00:01:08.945 align:middle line:84%
La Corona, a Mexican
lynching, number 47.

00:01:08.945 --> 00:01:12.130 align:middle line:90%


00:01:12.130 --> 00:01:15.220 align:middle line:84%
Anything can be trophy,
just as anything

00:01:15.220 --> 00:01:20.250 align:middle line:84%
can be ashtray,
coffee cup, curb,

00:01:20.250 --> 00:01:25.180 align:middle line:84%
flower pot, the
inside of your wrist,

00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:31.260 align:middle line:84%
the inside of another's wrist,
claim anything, anything.

00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:47.020 align:middle line:84%
Witness, badge, halo, horn,
colony, victim, vane, coffin,

00:01:47.020 --> 00:01:54.250 align:middle line:84%
president, cadaver, the quiet
breath of a body at rest.

00:01:54.250 --> 00:02:10.449 align:middle line:84%
Claim, claim, claim, claim,
claim, claim, claim, claim,

00:02:10.449 --> 00:02:20.630 align:middle line:84%
claim, claim, claim,
claim, anything.

00:02:20.630 --> 00:02:23.062 align:middle line:90%
