1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,799 That today marks the forty- twoth anniversary of President Guzmán' s death. 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,639 For those of us who may know this chapter of history, President Guzmán was 3 00:00:07,679 --> 00:00:14,800 the first President after Balaguer' s two years, that ominous decade of the 4 00:00:14,919 --> 00:00:20,559 sixties that would end up in the hands of Joaquín Balayer' s government, 5 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,120 I say minosa, because they killed Trujillo five years of instability. Problem where 6 00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:33,159 there was Balaguer had to run away or not temporarily a president. There were 7 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:40,039 elections in sixty- two. Balaguer did not participate in that selection. Then 8 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,399 he comes to power, Juan Bosch. Juan Bosch, in September of the 9 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:49,119 year in which he is sworn in decides to leave the Dominican Republic, chon 10 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,840 either invite him to leave or he left. Or they were and then it 11 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,759 will be what they call the coup d'état of September sixty- three, 12 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,799 sixty- three. And there, between the sixty- three and the 13 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:06,040 sixty- five, there are a series of situations that bring about the skirmish 14 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,879 called revolution, which took place in Borujol. After Borohol' s skirmish, 15 00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:17,599 the Americans come. They put this in the fold twenty thousand Marines that tone 16 00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:19,959 is going to be Cuba, that damned and want the devil' s. 17 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,519 Look, we' re gonna have an office here, but we want some 18 00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:29,079 people to take care of the vent. Three men were proposed and of these 19 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,439 three men, one did not accept. Two decided to go for election and 20 00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:38,719 Balaguir won, Baraguir did what should be for the good and benefits of the 21 00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:46,840 Republic, because we freed you from communism. Thanks to that national hero who 22 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,319 no one has ever valued him. And after twelve years of progress in the 23 00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:56,200 development, pacification and unification of the Republic, the PRD comes to power. 24 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,120 And that first president who had the pre after Bosch was Antonio Guzmán. Antos 25 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,199 Guaman is considered by some scholars of the I do not agree or share that 26 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:13,680 which is where the democratic stage of the Dominican Republic begins. I don' 27 00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:20,719 t agree. I believe that if someone took charge of getting into the country 28 00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:24,639 ' s democracy lane, it was Balaguer and had to be done with a 29 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:30,039 transition process. You think it' s mai jaun that was that in the 30 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,639 world was poking after the Cold War began and the Berlin Wall was a mambo 31 00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:40,599 and assumed after trout and after Truji was a mambo. My brother had to 32 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,599 live with a lot of sheath. Then Guzman, his own party, cornered 33 00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:49,960 him. They made a lot of devils. He himself, apparently, brought 34 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,919 some kind of suffering or proclivity to depression and ended up taking his life a 35 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,039 day like a thousand nine hundred and eighty- two. There is a series 36 00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:04,520 of interviews done by Antonio Guzmán. You can look for it one by fred 37 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,400 and veracoico days before you took your life, already when you ended your four 38 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,879 years. Fredy interviewed President Guzmán and there are many others as well as his 39 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,080 speeches. But certainly for those who lived at that time. I didn' 40 00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:20,599 t live it. I was born in the' 80s I was two years 41 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,199 old when voice most dies for what they saw at that time. Describe Antonio 42 00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:30,120 Guzmán as a man, a good man, a good President, or his 43 00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:35,159 highs and lows. Some say he made a good government. He had to 44 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,199 deal with Hurricane David, which devastated the Dominican Republic and with other crises that 45 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,960 the country also had to face. Already after his death, Jacob would rule 46 00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:50,280 for forty- three days more mourning and would hand over his hands to President 47 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,919 Salvador or Blanco, and then Salvador would hand over his hands to the only 48 00:03:54,039 --> 00:04:00,000 one who has been able to govern this country well, to Joaquín Bala well 49 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,759 and goes to Gert Gobbio, not until ninety- six and ninety- six 50 00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:05,000 to date, because we already know that story of what we are alive but 51 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,479 nothing. Today marks forty- two years after Guzman' s death. If 52 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,919 you draw your attention, in this story chapter, there are a lot of 53 00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:15,840 biographies and videos interview Guzman' s speech on YouTube. Thank God, there 54 00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:20,240 are many people who have done a job of collecting and disseminating these videos on 55 00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:27,879 YouTube and one can now know the first- hand things with these historical documents 56 00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:35,000 that are those videos. Also see all the governments that have passed have ruled 57 00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:41,639 in ninety percent of the style of good balaguer all. This one looks a 58 00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:46,519 lot like the balawar style. Sir and the other day I was saying something 59 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:53,560 about Professor Bosch, who I think has oversized him. Ta was not as 60 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,920 bad as he said, however, in search and has been sought through the 61 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,040 gill of history and that those who tell the story are almost all people who 62 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:13,839 are not affected by the elito to throw as in the foundation of the forgetfulness 63 00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:18,199 of Balaguer and only to quote it for the bad things that endilize him and 64 00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:21,800 convert as a kind of prócer to the stature of John Paul Duarte to Bosch 65 00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:29,519 and honestly what we live and were born and we saw Bosh in exercise in 66 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:35,120 the intellectual policy of dimensions that can not be compared to anyone, but not 67 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,680 for the height to which the fight of those sixteen years that came a point 68 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:46,319 that spoke more about Bosch than John Paul Duarte. I respect that the Plateites 69 00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:51,120 hold Bosh' s highest esteem, but he was one of the many protagonists 70 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:58,560 of 20th century politics. He made it very clear that yes, but not 71 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,480 that dimension of putting here building, every street and every residence the name of 72 00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:04,240 Bosh, because the Nadama fighter lacked to name the Dominican Republic Juan Bosch. 73 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:13,680 I have a theme with history and that is that it is the historian' 74 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,160 s point of view. Exactly. He doesn' t present the story to 75 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,319 me as such. But if the historian is honest, tell the fact, 76 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:27,360 tell the story based on exact realities and facts. The problem that Dominican history 77 00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:33,399 tells from absurd sentimentalism and converts the characters of history into mythological beings, and 78 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,439 it is not what were human beings, who made mistakes and had virtues exactly 79 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,680 you set out to look for mistakes and you do not find. And, 80 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,240 for example, when a historian starts telling you, introducing you to your opinion 81 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,079 of the fact that he' s already screwed up the story, that' 82 00:06:51,079 --> 00:06:55,600 s history. Right there, or when he gave me the best government in 83 00:06:55,639 --> 00:06:57,879 the Republic, he was like Antonio Buzman. No, it' s not 84 00:06:57,879 --> 00:07:00,439 true. It wasn' t the best government ever. It wasn' t 85 00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:04,879 the best government. And there' s the historical data. There' s 86 00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:10,079 the same story in the neo and it must be offensive. Listen to the 87 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,879 nefarious government of the bobby warlord. No. No, but the damn favor 88 00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:18,519 and you damaged it came this ora calls the damn favor and the chroniclers of 89 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:25,399 history are so brazen. What story we' ve been through? They don 90 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,040 ' t want to count it as almost two bad things they wanted to do. 91 00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:32,959 The 16 years of the PLED have been the most prosperous stage of development, 92 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,959 economic growth and also corruption in the country. But it' s not 93 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,120 true that you' re going to see them, you' re going to 94 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,519 sell them what we live in. That' s what you said about the 95 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,600 human pla defor, because they didn' t rule for ten years, because 96 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,120 it was a bunch of bastards. Put the thing to me, as he 97 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,480 said from time to time, that one has lived it, they want to 98 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,000 tell it to you as the worst. And it' s not like that. 99 00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:57,399 And it is not so, my loves, let us see the facts 100 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,759 objectively present and let us tell the truth, as it is not a manufactured 101 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,160 truth. You present your opinion to me. Leave it to me exactly. 102 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,879 I made my own conclusions and many of the things that happened during the twelve 103 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:15,680 years were necessary for them to happen. And even if you don' t 104 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,279 like it and you say that woe to you, you live today as you 105 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,199 are living. I must have gone through that, or else you wouldn' 106 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,680 t live the way you live. Meanwhile, today is also Alisa Day in 107 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,200 Wonderland, it is the day of friendship in the Philippines, day of independence, 108 00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:39,639 of the heart, of independence of the flesh. These are the fucking 109 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,600 vegans who stop screwing us up The vegans are from the city of La Vega 110 00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:48,759 and the province of La Vega. It' s the invisible day. It 111 00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:52,320 is also the National Grilled Pork Ribs Day. I' m going to eat 112 00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:56,120 that I' m going on purpose on Caesar salad day in the United States, 113 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:03,320 it' s also Hill Billy day, Sofia day, it' s 114 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,720 also Republic of the Philippines day, Rwanda Liberation day, thirsty Thursday and also 115 00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:15,879 the day of frying an egg on the sidewalk. This is because this July, 116 00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:18,399 the fourth day of July, is supposed to be one of the hottest 117 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,960 days of the year in the summer in the United States. Meanwhile, today 118 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,120 is Independence Day and that you know that I too have that problem, that 119 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,639 American independence tells you that it happened in two days, in two days, 120 00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:35,080 yes, it happened in four days. Today we fight, tomorrow, we 121 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,720 discuss the Constitution, the day after we founded the Republic and the day after 122 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,399 tomorrow elections. And it was not, because the process of independence and formation 123 00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:45,840 of the United States lasted almost twenty years. Or what I saw Tigrama' 124 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,080 s daughter threw the fuck out and Pila fought. For example, I told 125 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:54,679 artificial intelligence to love the detailed timeline of key events that led to U S 126 00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:01,679 independence in enacting its Constitution. Well in nineteen hundred and sixty- three, 127 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,559 the end of the Seven- year War in Britain, imposes new taxes and 128 00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:11,720 laws on American colonies to recover war costs, such as the Seven- Seventy 129 00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:15,879 - Sixty- Sixty- Sixty Sugar Act and the Seventeen- Sixty- Fifth 130 00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:18,080 Bell Act. The seven- year war was a war between France and England, 131 00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:22,679 a war that took place all over the world, between these countries, 132 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:31,279 where they had dominions and colonies, and which ended with both nations very economically 133 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:35,440 diminished, is that they were the owners of the world. Exactly in a 134 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,799 thousand seven hundred and sixty- five the law of the first direct tax stamp 135 00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:46,919 on the colonists, which provokes protests and the motto" exation hui ho representation 136 00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:50,279 ", that is, that they lived there, but they had no representatives 137 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,840 in the sheath that of Britain, in London, And and don' t 138 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,919 think that it was not a big tax either, was three percent or less. 139 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,080 Yes, but for a thousand seven hundred it was all the rooms of 140 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,080 the world. In a thousand seven hundred and seventy is given what is called 141 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,559 the Boston Massacre. British soldiers shoot a crowd in Boston, killing five settlers. 142 00:11:11,759 --> 00:11:16,840 This incident brings tensions between the settlers and the British authorities closer. Colons 143 00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:20,759 because they were colony, they were colonies. The ones that really were Cologne 144 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,000 were those thirteen colonies that were on the coast of this exact United States. 145 00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,039 Or that the concept of colony, which was what France had, what England 146 00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:33,679 had or what Holland had, is confused with what Spain did, that Spain 147 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,799 had no colonies, had viceroyalties and the citizens of the viceroyalties had the same 148 00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:48,240 rights of guarantees as that of Spain. Yeah, I eat here. That 149 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,840 ' s another one this year, a thousand seven hundred and seventy- four. 150 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,320 In a thousand seven hundred and seventy- three is the tea riot in 151 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,799 Boston. Colons disguised as Native Americans throw into Boston' s port in protest 152 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,919 against the tea tax In a thousand seven hundred and seventy- four, the 153 00:12:05,919 --> 00:12:11,799 discharge of the intolerables, the series of pro- punitive laws in response to 154 00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:18,440 the TEA riot in Boston, settlers form the first continental Congress to coordinate a 155 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,360 united response. Then the road came out independence and is given from a thousand 156 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:26,159 seven hundred and seventy- five in the battle of Lexington and Concord are the 157 00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:31,799 first military confrontations of the War of Independence. The second Continental Congress began to 158 00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:35,639 act as a de facto colony government in a thousand seven hundred and seventy- 159 00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:41,440 six. On July 4, the Declaration of Independence drafted by Thomas Jefferson and 160 00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:48,200 adopted by the Continental Congress.

It was 186 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:58,080 the States that separated from the thirteen colonies. The thirteen Coat colonies were on 187 00:14:58,159 --> 00:15:01,840 at that time. American salute begins. Ivan and street hook over here. 188 00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:07,759 They buy a piece of it, France said, they tear Mexico with a 189 00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:09,960 piece, in Buruján, over here, in Buruján, over there.

Dabody delivered. Yeah, come 200 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,200 on I was on the project You' re gonna imagine these wonderful chop tories, 201 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,679 but not tigers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There are the two 202 00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:03,919 important dates. One for the free world, as the Greeks say They are 203 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,919 the ones as they say, they are the guardians of the free world, 204 00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:11,919 and I believe the Republic and the President say the leader of the free world. 205 00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:15,759 That' s like very boastful. True, the Dominican Republic knows more 206 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:23,159 about the gringos, having it as a state, as we are much more 207 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:29,399 than in a Dominican there. The question is that, if this were part 208 00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:32,759 of the United States, they would still want to go to the United States, 209 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,799 the Dominicans would stay calm here with a good question.
