[00:21:53] forth, and not have to worry and be stressed that about based off
[00:21:57] this different events that have been going on the past few years, especially in the light of what's going
[00:22:01] on the past few weeks, to have that fear of who knows what's
[00:22:05] happening at that Jewish site or who uh or or what's going on on the
[00:22:09] streets for someone like my family which are
[00:22:12] visibly jewish uh with all that's going
