I’ve been listening to a book called The Way We Never Were, which dismantles beliefs like that and exposes the terrible things we don’t have to put up with anymore. You’d think it’s a very modern book, but it was written in 1992

Attended his standup show twenty years back and he completely blew us away with his life story.... how he weaves serious topics with comedy is simply amazing!
About time this is finally talked about what the government has done to indigenous people it should be taught in school along with black studies as a mandatory and complete American history education
@mariaseus1405 When you see things like "Blacks for Trump", it should tell you everything you need to know. Americans DO NOT want to know their real history which is filled with atrocities, hatred, and violence. They prefer their "huddled masses" mythology!
He's talented. Watched him for over 20 years. I went ahead and put that app in my phone, I saw episode one of the Green Veil. It was pretty good. It was free.
My first noticed him in the Spawn movie. After that I watch almost anything he's in. I really liked him in To Wong Foo. And in What's The Worst That Could Happen?
❤I love this man. He relentlessly, intellectually, and interestingly tells the real truth about the indigenous and Hispanic history in such articulate form. Also, as a Mexican Italian Irish person from Chicago IL, I too naturally speak loud 😂and especially when I feel the power of knowledge. ❤
Just signed up. Can't wait to see it. Congrats to John! Wish you success. Don't forget to share your fortune with La Raza, especially the youth. God bless...🕊
@@breal7277 Raza is a term for Mexicans read up on Mexican American History the zoot suit riot era it's all Mexican American even the term Raza was first used by a Mexican Poet . John is using Chicano history for personal Gain and profit. He's a fraud first he said he was Puerto Rican now he says he is Colombian . He's a fraud 🤥.
Thank you John Leguizamo for having The Network as a platform that provides access to our Latinx n Indigenous history in America, Our American History. Can't erase what was already here 💜👐
Finally bring on DJ Krush! His track “Dig This Vibe” is art regardless of time periods. An underrated masterpiece! Listen to this track in the evening and you will understand everything!
Unfortunate for me that the first thing I know of this dude is The Mario Bros movie. Dude is so passionate, articulate and smart. 👍🏽 (I liked that movie way back in the day btw. Not sure it holds up 😅).
Thank you for telling this story John! We need to know our history! I was a foster parent and was very surprised in my training when we were told that the roots of the foster system was taking Indian children away from their families. It's heartbreaking and we need to know about it so that we can heal and repair. Thank you again!
John, when is the Latinos for Kamala Zoom Meeting is happening? I've heard of a White Dudes and Blacks for Kamala on X and Zoom, when ours is happening....Dude make it happen, you do have the power brother.😮
John, you're a trailblazer...wherever you find a wall...you just make a path around it. Thank you for being the voice of Latinos everywhere! You deserve all the movies and all the shows! Que dios bendiga!
John is our advocate. He represents our Hispanic History and contribution to America. In addition to being a great actor, standup comic, writer etc., Loved the interview on Colbert!❤
And now, there is federal law that children services must talk with families about whether or not they are part of a Tribe or Nation, and then, if the answer is yes, they must contact the tribe and let them decide how they want to handle the issues with their tribe members and their children. It's called ICWA (Indian Child Welfair Act) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Child_Welfare_Act Because of this disgusting practice, along with older things like the boarding schools.
That's HOW vile and despicable our government headed by politicians of a certain gender and hue along with their same gender and hue Big oil execs have been.
I worked with these cases for six years. The unfortunate part is that states can get away with applying the law in the way the state wants. When I worked in Iowa, they were dedicated to following the law as written, and I was part of that. Once I moved to Oregon, and there are lots of tribes here, they kind of don't bother a whole lot with ICWA from what I can see. I know that a few years ago (under the former administration) there were lawsuits to dismantle ICWA from even existing.
Buy healthy food for them. Teach them inglés. Help them plant tomatoes and chiles. Teach them how to jar their harvest. Help them get tarjetas de la biblioteca y bancaria. Licencias de pescar. Show them where the wild plants and berries are. How to smoke their fish harvest. How to bring their families here. "Do not fight evil with evil but overcome evil with good." The mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds but when it is planted it becomes the largest of all trees so that even the birds of the air can come and rest on its branches in safety.
I just binged The Green Veil. It was sad, suspenseful, infuriating and raw. Everyone should start with this. Then educate yourselves on ICWA (it’s not over and this film reinforces the sense of false security as demonstrated by the white male majority of SCOTUS). There’s a great podcast titled This Land that does in depth reporting on the history to present day of white America’s egregious sense of entitlement to the children of Native families in America. First Nations in Canada as well. Any gains that have been made by any group are entirely under assault by SCOTUS, MAGA, The Heritage Foundation (Project 2025) and Christian Nationalists. All of these groups are actually one and the same. WAKE UP AMERICA!
I really immersed myself in Native history and never heard about this. I even worked for ten years on a reservation, with child welfare cases, on the same reservation where they designed the ICWA law. I'm pretty stunned. What I haven't heard mentioned in public yet, or "exposed," if you will, is what's been going on for decades at Boys Town in Omaha, along the same lines as the Matt Gaetz story -- only way worse.
Andrew McCarthy/ D.B Sweeney they gave us great 80s/90s movies … but I am sure all that fewer opportunities made John Leguizemo Career a lot richer than theirs now.
Wow, that's crazy ! This government has done some serious harm to the indigenous population. It's amazing to hear this was going on as recent as the 1980's.
John! Come to Phoenix, Arizona! The Latinos are a big reason why we turned the state light blue. We have beautiful Latinx art, culture, activism...you name it. Perfect for John Leguizamo Does America! (We love the show keep up the great work, John).
John i only know from the John wick franchise Can't bring to mind what else he's played roles in but by his role in wick, i really like him and will look for other films he's been in.
How ironic is life, Univision is a Network created by the MEXICAN entrepreneur Emilio Azcárraga Milmo, He had already the Mexican Monopoly network TELEVISA in Mexico City, which fed entertainment for the longest time to most Latin America and Spain. That man manipulated Mexican politics for THE LOOONGEST time, brainwashed Mexican people as long as he wanted. And now Univision is basically also against Mexicans, against people who just want a better life by working. The country that gave him everything, never meant anything to him.
This Oglala Lakota Oyate member just made an account. I loved John Leguizamo in every role he played, especially in Spawn, but, if this is a somewhat accurate portrayal of what we went through and are still going through, I will have to buy or make something for this guy in appreciation. If there is too much fiction or dramatization, I'm still going to keep him up there. We smell bullshit with our eyes and taste fake noises in our fingers. I'll enter optimistically, but Iktomi holds only hands with Coyote and finds trouble so we'll see.
John Leguizamo is one of the greatest entertainers of his generation. He has never sacrificed his integrity and he speaks truth to power without fail.
Isnt that the same moron who said that theres no ‘diversity’ in the mario movie and tried to boycott it
So glad he's telling this story. People always talk about how 'great' the past was, yet historical events say otherwise.
Why do you think conservatives would love to remove access to that history d:
I’ve been listening to a book called The Way We Never Were, which dismantles beliefs like that and exposes the terrible things we don’t have to put up with anymore. You’d think it’s a very modern book, but it was written in 1992
I started watching it. I downloaded the app. Very few commercials, BTW, which was nice.
The only people who say how great the US _used to be_ are white, land-owning men.

You are amazing John! I love that you are amplifying the power and beauty of your community and telling these stories. ❤
Attended his standup show twenty years back and he completely blew us away with his life story.... how he weaves serious topics with comedy is simply amazing!
America needs more Americans like John Leguizamo.
Given how many folk we seem to have these days with a personality close to his opposite, the whole world needs more Americans like Mr Leguizamo!
Agreed, agreed, agreed.
That's the kind of people who make this country Great!
@@robertm7120 America was indeed built by "Bad Hombres". God, I hate that phrase, and the stupidity that it encapsulates.
Boycott his movies. LGB
About time this is finally talked about what the government has done to indigenous people it should be taught in school along with black studies as a mandatory and complete American history education
Absolutely. As a side note, my 14-year-old grandson in Oregon *is* learning Native history, and I'm thrilled to see this.

I love John Lequizamo and as a 64 year old Brooklynite I am also unnaturally loud. So glad HE said it
YES
Omg he is ageless!!
👍😆👍
He's talented. Watched him for over 20 years. I went ahead and put that app in my phone, I saw episode one of the Green Veil. It was pretty good. It was free.
Thank you John for sharing our Indigenous history!!! Thank you Thank You!
John has always been an innovative comedian and speaks truth to power. I look forward to his work!
Thank you Sir! Pls keep telling our brown stories, my mother, my father and all my ancestors are behind you
YES! All Indigenous banding together are the best way to speak the truth!
Hes played good guys, bad guys, animals, drag queens, super hero plumbers, does stand up, he works allot
Yeah he does that one man show stand up thing in the theatres much much more respectable and important and just better
His one man shows have been amazing, especially the first 3
@@LindaC616 yeah, they're all beautifully raunchy. Well, they were when I was a kid
"a lot" not allot. That's a different word.
@@TVC15ohoh ooh good point
🖕👈
First time I ever saw John was in the awesome movie "Too Wong Foo.." He was the most amazing actor and I would never forget him after that.
My first noticed him in the Spawn movie. After that I watch almost anything he's in. I really liked him in To Wong Foo. And in What's The Worst That Could Happen?
Installing The Network now. Legiizamo is a bleeping treasure!

I have always loved John he speaks power to the truth ❤️
John Leguizamo… folks!!! Come on. Why don’t more people love this artist!!
you say that like people do not. stop making the drama up, it is unnecessary.
He's definitely under appreciated in my book. Funny enough, his biggest flop (The Pest) was the first thing I saw him in, lol
@@Zaddy-Lu LOVE the pest! Quackie!! 😂😂
Have you noticed the rampant racism in this country?
I always love the energy John brings to his performances and interviews like this. He is such a treat to watch.
Love him and all the work he's done and continues to do to elevate and educate.
Very talented guy
Gritty right on the edge of uncomfortable.. that's is how we do it. Do it bro..❤
Leguizamo's The Network just got a subscriber from Germany. Good Luck
So much of what has occured and still occurs seems to be unknown by many. Big hugs John.
Way to go! John L
He’s good , memorable , in all his roles
We love John Leguizamo!
John deserves to be loud and proud!
John in Chef - he was great and I worked in culinary w/ people just how John acted - he nailed it .
Such an awesome guy! Thank you for all your work :)
Just signed up. Can't wait to see it. Congrats to John! Wish you success. Don't forget to share your fortune with La Raza, especially the youth. God bless...🕊
He's not Raza !!!!!!
@@MariaGasca-Reyes Plz, explain.
@@breal7277 Raza is a term for Mexicans read up on Mexican American
History the zoot suit riot era it's all Mexican American even the term Raza was
first used by a Mexican Poet .
John is using Chicano history for personal
Gain and profit.
He's a fraud first he said he was Puerto Rican now he says he is Colombian .
He's a fraud 🤥.
Mr. L! Loved your performance in Spawn! Seriously a huge fan. Thank you!
That's the first time I ever noticed him. And he was great in that. I've watched him a lot of things since. Very talented.
Thank you John Leguizamo for having The Network as a platform that provides access to our Latinx n Indigenous history in America, Our American History. Can't erase what was already here 💜👐
The truth shall set you free. Brought to you by John Leguizamo.❤
Who else loves Leguizamo
Everyone with an empathy bone loves Leguizamo.
Installing the Network now! Tysm 😊 Mr. Leguizamo ❤.
They should've brought it to the CBC in Canada. That 's our shameful history writ large.
He’s got natural magnetism. Was he on Happy Days? The audience warmed to him also. Whoa… phenomenal body of work this guy sheez!!
His family geneology story on "Finding Your Roots" was truly amazing. One of the best on that show.
Don't go by what he says
He's stealing and making profit off
Mexican American History.
And relabeling it as latino 👎 👎 👎 👎
He's a culture Vulture
Finally bring on DJ Krush! His track “Dig This Vibe” is art regardless of time periods. An underrated masterpiece! Listen to this track in the evening and you will understand everything!
Love John, Too Wong Fu was my intro to him
Look up his one man off Broadway shows on streaming: Mambo Mouth, Spic-O-Rama, Freak. They're really good.
Great man!
I will freaking watch it man!!
Loves him as the Clown from Spawn!
He was so good in that. Also an amazing costume.
I just watched the first 2 episodes. That’s all there is so far. Interesting show.
Love Leguizamo and just downloaded the network.
Such a smart, inspiring and talented actor, not to mention endless charm 😊 looove him ♥️
I have loved John L ever since Tu Wan Fu ❤ keep blazing the trail and congratulations on the Network 🎉
I feel like this dude is single handedly educating us on the Mexican stories that we really must know.
The Network stream is awesome 👏 👏👏👏🌟
Always here for John leguizamo clips. Read his one man show
Unfortunate for me that the first thing I know of this dude is The Mario Bros movie.
Dude is so passionate, articulate and smart. 👍🏽
(I liked that movie way back in the day btw. Not sure it holds up 😅).
I’ve always really liked him and his perspective. Will definitely check out the network

Sure was. Glad it’s being told. Wonderful actor! ❤️

NEVER FORGET
Loooooooooooovvveeeee Jon Leguizamo!!!!
Texas loves you!
John, when is the Latinos for Kamala Zoom Meeting is happening? I've heard of a White Dudes and Blacks for Kamala on X and Zoom, when ours is happening....Dude make it happen, you do have the power brother.😮
Unfortunately, The Network is not available in Portugal.
Oh, 'The Network' doesn't sound ominous at all.
John forgot the first rule of telling stories like 20 years ago.
Love me some John L.❤❤❤❤❤
I live in a small mountain town. We get 4 radio stations. One is local from our town, three are all Spanish, dunno where they're from, but not local.
Is it VOA?
Depends on where you're located
His network isn't available in Canada 😒
I just signed up for it and I’m in Canada.
First saw him in Spawn. Terrible movie, great IP, EPIC soundtrack, and John was kick-ass. I support everything he's doing.
My honorary Puertorrican brother! Always representing!✊🏾❤️🇵🇷

John i only know from the John wick franchise Can't bring to mind what else he's played roles in but by his role in wick, i really like him
and will look for other films he's been in.
It's a long list of a wide variety of roles. He's known for being funny, but his dramatic roles are intense!
A voice actor too, most famous movie likely being the squirrel from The Ice Age
HBO standup comedy Freak watch it.
Sid the Sloth, not the squirrel....
All the people loving on John, please go subcribe for free and watch his show. Support his work.
