Like many things in life, the facts of this case are not simple.

They're not black and white.

It's easy to forget how symbolic this trial was of a greater problem in the

world. You will hear strong, compelling evidence that explains the real reason

for this very sad and tragic killing.

It's been six years. Is it still hard to believe that Blaze is gone?

It took a while for it to set in.

But I'm at peace with it.

Maybe that's all that we were supposed to have.

There were like 19 years with so many moments of brilliance and beauty.

Blaze was very creative.

Definitely when we were little kids.

We were like attached at the hip.

I think of him as somebody whose potential for life was completely

obliterated.

Blaze Bernstein was gay and his killer was a member of a neo -Nazi group.

Undercover officers made their move on Sam Woodward. What have you learned

neo -Nazis? They're everywhere.

They're all over the internet.

They're here in Orange County.

I believe that this was a hate crime.

The 26 -year -old's appearance has changed dramatically from the time of

arrest back in 2018.

At the trial, Sam looked like a spitting image of Charlie Manson.

It was absolutely terrifying to look at. The evidence will show you that the

defendant killed Blaise Bernstein because he was gay.

He was gay and Jewish.

Hate crime or crime of passion, the difference...

is the possibility of parole.

Blaze Bernstein was found with 28 stab wounds.

The prosecution has a bit of a higher bar here because they also have to show

that Sam murdered Blaze because of his gay identity.

He had developed his long -standing beliefs against Jewish people and gay

people.

What happened that night was not a hate crime.

We knew that he was going to present some story of what happened that night.

Not that targeting someone because of his sexual orientation.

What kind of story could he come up with?

Sam Woodward never planned to kill Blaise Bernstein.

Homophobia, sexual repression, hookup culture.

It almost never ends the way that this story ends.

We don't have any control over what the outcome is.

He could be innocent.

We'll let the jury decide.

The why is the single most important issue you will need to decide.

Not who is responsible for the death of a young man, but exactly why he was

killed six years ago.

For Jeannie Pepper and her husband Gideon Bernstein, those six years were

painfully marked by COVID delays, shifting lawyers, and legal strategies.

Slow justice is no justice.

It's not fair to victims, and it's not fair to the deceased.

Finally came April of 2024.

Jeannie and Gideon were more than ready for their day in court.

We're impatient.

We want to get on with our lives.

But not before telling the story of their firstborn child, Blaze Bernstein,

he lived, and why they believe he died.

murdered because of who he was, targeted by hate.

It's not safe for you to be a lot of different minorities now.

The victim in this case, and nobody disputes that he was a victim, was

stabbed to death.

Ken Morrison would defend Samuel Woodward, charged with first -degree

premeditated murder.

Morrison squared off against prosecutor Jennifer Walker.

And where we start is with who was killed, Blaise Bernstein. And he was 19.

He was gay and Jewish.

The silent, ghostly presence in the courtroom was Blaise.

That slender, curious, playful young man with a big world.

Images that refuse to fade.

Are there pictures or things that flash through your mind?

You think of Blaze? Always.

Every day.

It was just weeks after Blaze's death that we first met Jeannie and Gideon.

Wounds raw, they shared bittersweet memories of the son they described as

magical. And the first time I saw him, I looked in his eyes. Something about

this baby. He's going to change the world someday.

Boom, boom, boom.

Ba -ba -boom.

Hey. That's going to be the intro.

What do you miss most about Blake?

Yeah, that's it.

His quirky personality.

He was different.

He liked to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

I call him the unicorn.

He was magnificently creative.

It was late summer 2016, and Blaze, who'd already achieved so much, was

to an Ivy League school here in Philadelphia, the University of

There'd be new friends, mentors, and challenges, and Blaze seemed ready for

all.

He really hit his stride.

A creative writer, thinking about a career in medicine.

He was finding himself.

Then came winter break.

Sophomore year, Blaze headed home.

He was really looking forward to being with us, too.

There were holiday celebrations and Hanukkah candles.

The budding chef cooked up a gourmet meal.

And then, sometime on the night of January 2, 2018, Blaze secretly left his

parents' house.

It would be the last time.

That night, when did you realize that he was missing?

We didn't. I didn't know that night.

We didn't even know. We thought he slept in, and the next day we were... I had

my aha moment when I was at the dental appointment.

The next day, Blaze was due to meet his mother for that dentist appointment, but

Blaze never showed up and wasn't answering his cell phone.

I called Gideon. He asked me if Blaze had ever come home the night before, and

screamed out, I don't know.

Rushed out of the office and came home. We both did. We flew home.

And checked Blaze's room. His wallet, his retainers, his keys.

Those are all still at the house. His glasses.

Yeah. All of that stuff was at the house.

But your thought was?

Well, it was just so highly unusual.

He wanted to spend time with us. I just kept texting and calling him and leaving

messages all day.

Where had he been? We didn't know.

They called police and tried to log on to Blaze's social media account.

We just jumped on his computer.

This was a big challenge for us.

But with the help of family and friends, they logged on to Blaze's Snapchat.

That's where they discovered the night he disappeared, Blaze had sent his home

address to someone.

Sam Woodward, a seeming stranger.

We never heard the name. Never heard the name before.

Gideon and Jeannie were panicked and baffled. Who was Sam?

So Gideon messaged Sam, please pick up. Sam got on the phone. The Bernsteins

recorded the phone conversation and would share it with police.

Sam's pieces of the puzzle began with him meeting Blaze near the Bernstein's

home. And he said he drove him here, nearby Borrego Park, with its

thick brush and twisting paths.

And that once there, they parked.

And, Sam added, Blaze, claiming he was going to meet a friend, walked down a

path and vanished into the darkness.

Sam explained to the Bernsteins

how he knew Blaze and why, he says, they were getting together.

OSHA, the Orange County School of the Arts, where Raya Rofsky, Blaze, and Sam

were once classmates.

Raya's high school memories of Sam were about to come flooding back with a

vengeance. I got a call from my mom.

Raya, did you hear? And I said, what?

And she said, Blaze is missing.

And then my mom said, Raya, he was with this guy named Sam Woodward. I scream in

the phone, he what?

And she was like, do you know this guy? And I said, yes, I know this guy.

He's crazy.

How different were Sam and Blaze?

Oh, they were so different.

Probably about as different as you could be.

Hauntingly different, says Blaze's oldest friend.

So when that word began to filter across Orange County, that Blaze hadn't come

home, and that Sam Woodward might be a person of interest.

It chilled Rhea to the bone, her memories of Sam impossible to shake.

Well, hello, ladies.

He was drawing guns in his notebook in class.

Did you say anything?

No. But you thought... This is terrifying.

The spotlight was on Sam Woodward, whom Rhea remembered from high school.

He was very quiet, very withdrawn, didn't really talk to people.

Sam Woodward, odd man out, says Rhea.

You know, everybody has their clique, but I don't think he identified with any

of them, really.

And as far as anyone knew, the last person to see Blaze Bernstein alive.

The only reason I could think of... Sam meeting up with Blaze is because either,

number one, he wanted to hook up with him, or two, because he was planning to

murder him.

And as for that story Sam told, that on the spur of the moment, he and Blaze had

decided to hang out, it didn't come close to adding up for Rhea.

He had a reputation of being what?

Racist, homophobic, sexist.

It was Rhea who was there when Blaze's sexuality was still a secret.

Until along a glistening California beach, he bravely confided in his oldest

friend. So you guys were kind of walking down the beach alone together and he

came out to you? Yeah.

Rhea, who would later also come out, stepped up when it mattered most.

All I could do was be a good friend and love him unconditionally.

Did you get the sense that Blaze had told anyone else that he thought he was

lying? I don't think that he did. He was kind of upset to...

Say it.

Something that clearly was a big secret for him. Yeah, you know, coming out to

yourself is a really mature, difficult thing to do.

And what did you tell him? I told him, it's okay.

If you like boys, that's totally fine.

Love who you love.

While he hadn't yet told his parents, Gideon and Jeannie sensed Blaze might be

gay. We went up to him and said, listen, Whatever your situation is, we embrace

it. We love you. We don't care.

But in those first days of 2018, it wasn't just love. It was also an

unimaginable fear that consumed Jeannie and Gideon as the search for Blaze

began.

Orange County cops spoke with Sam.

He repeated what he'd told the Bernsteins on that phone call, that he

Blaze up.

driven to Borrego Park, and that then Blaze had vanished.

By January 5th, the search had become massive.

We're out here conducting a search for Blaze Bernstein. We're here today to get

your help to find our son.

Please keep your eyes open for my baby. I want him home with me now.

Search and rescue teams and helicopters searched the wilderness area.

And we printed up thousands and thousands of flyers that people in the

congregation put up.

Everybody's looking.

Rabbi Arnold Rockliff coordinated the search from University Synagogue, where

Blaze was an active member and a role model.

Please join me in honoring Blaze Bernstein.

Blaze embraced his Jewish heritage and confronted its haters.

Not only were six million Jewish people systematically murdered throughout

Europe in concentration camps.

At such a young age to see someone with so much talent is a beautiful

thing. A good heart, a good soul.

That's what Blaze had.

Everyone was somehow hoping for good news, including, it seemed, Sam

Okay, so isn't that going to reach you out?

Yes, sir, it is.

On that call that Gideon had recorded, Sam sounded deeply concerned.

But Blaze was

nowhere to be found.

Anxious hours stretched into sleepless nights.

I really didn't know if we would ever find him.

As the days passed, it became more and more difficult.

And I thought, we're never going to know. We're never going to know what

happened exactly.

We're never going to figure it out.

Yeah. That's what I thought.

I immediately thought, he's dead.

He's dead.

Just from hearing that he was with them?

It was day seven since Blaze last left home. A family, a community, was beyond

frustrated.

Detectives had searched Borrego Park over and over, but they decided to give

one more look.

In the pouring rain, a detective stood right over there and hidden under a

tree branch was a mound of dirt.

Under the wet, caked earth lay Blaze Bernstein.

It's not the rain we would have never known what happened to him.

So the rain uncovered his face.

Leah and Richard Bernstein are Blaze's grandparents.

We just loved him.

I wish I could write like he wrote.

I wish I could cook like he cooked.

Where's Blaze? Yeah, he's in front.

48 Hours met them just a few months after Blaze was murdered.

I think the world lost a beautiful soul.

I always think of him before I go to sleep.

Their grandchild, once brimming with life and possibility.

had been horrifically slaughtered with a knife.

And then the funeral happened.

And it was shattering.

The grief stretched across Orange County.

We're hugging them right now. We're all hugging them. This is our big, giant hug

to them.

I just want to know why.

I don't even want to know because I'm not going to like that answer.

Three days after Blaze Bernstein was found.

Butchered and broken.

Can you tell us what happened to Blaze?

No.

Investigators confronted his one -time classmate, Sam Woodward. Were you there

when he disappeared?

At his parents' home.

Undercover officers made their move on Sam Woodward this afternoon.

As he pulled out of his Newport Beach driveway and went down the road, they

pulled that car over and arrested him.

Sam Woodward was charged with murder with the personal use of a knife.

Then Orange County D .A., Tony Rakakis.

How did Blaze Bernstein die?

He was stabbed multiple times in the neck.

What did that tell you?

Well, it tells me that there was a lot of hate.

For Blaze's parents, the details of his murder

were too much to even imagine.

I just try not to think about what that really meant.

I don't think that I physically can deal with the trauma of what's happened.

As police gathered evidence, the violence that happened in Borrego Park

revealed.

With Blaze's body, his battered phone.

Inside Sam Woodward's car, blood.

The blood on the headliner.

belonged to both Sam Woodward and Blaise Bernstein.

Blaise Bernstein's blood was in Sam Woodward's car?

Yes, yes.

And then they went on to search the house?

Yes. What kind of forensic evidence did they gather?

There was a knife.

The knife had blood on it.

Blaise Bernstein's blood on the knife.

At his arraignment, Sam Woodward would plead not guilty.

Investigators would continue to search for what happened that night in Borrego

Park.

They would soon come to believe that Sam had a dark and frightening secret.

He was involved in this extreme neo -Nazi organization, Autumn Waffen

which does expect its members to explicitly target members of the Jewish

LGBTQ community.

Sarah Moore monitors hate crime, working for GLAAD, one of the most prominent

gay rights organizations in the country.

She's kept a close eye on the small but violent group, Atomwaffen.

These are their propaganda videos, posted between 2017 and 18.

They want to kind of blow up the world as it is. They want to create something

entirely new.

And the new thing is what?

In their mind, it would be a white ethnostate.

There's either no Jewish or no LGBTQ or no people of color in that society.

How does Adam Rothen recruit?

They recruit primarily online.

Just a click away, and exactly where Sam, whom Raya Rothke remembers, had

trouble making friends, found some.

Strangers who welcomed and encouraged him.

Did you consider yourself a neo -Nazi?

I just considered myself a Nazi.

This man does not want his identity revealed, but he says he was once a

of Atomwaffen and that he came in contact with Sam the year before Blaze

murdered.

It was like a camaraderie type of feeling, common interest.

And those interests were hating other groups, hating Jews, hating gays, hating

blacks. Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

How involved was Sam Woodward in Adam Woffin?

I know that he was involved.

Involved enough, say investigators, to wear the Adam Woffin mask, give the Nazi

salute, make a pilgrimage to Colorado to meet neo -Nazi leader James Mason,

and travel to Texas to attend Adam Woffin's version of a corporate retreat.

call it hate camp.

At hate camps, members will get kind of a 101 training on how to be a violent

extremist.

And that bitter January 2018, when news broke that Blaze had been stabbed to

death, allegedly by a member of Atomwaffen. As Orange County mourned,

reportedly cheered.

Everyone celebrated him like he killed a gay Jew.

which in their mind is sort of a jackpot.

Ugh.

It's disgusting.

There were people congratulating this accused killer for what he has done,

killing my son, congratulating him.

Had you ever heard of Adam Woffin? No. Before this?

But we should have, because we're a perfect target for that group.

Because of Sam's involvement in Adam Woffin.

Seven months after Blaze's murder, prosecutors upped the ante, adding a

crime enhancement, a murder motivated by prejudice.

As the story unfolded that the murder was related to

homophobia and anti -Semitism, well, then the anger in the community

ratcheted up.

For some, it brought back the darkest of times.

It must seem like all of this hate was behind you. That's something in the

You can't forget it. You can't forget it. Never.

It's a murderous echo from her past.

All too real for Grandma Leia, a Holocaust survivor.

Once a little girl forced by Hitler's Nazis to wear a yellow star.

Yes, we did wear the star.

A horrible irony that what you escaped is following me.

Sam Woodward was locked up in the Orange County Jail. He would begin his years

-long journey through the justice system.

It included a revolving door of defense lawyers who raised questions with the

court about Sam's mental health and his ability to defend himself.

In 2022,

Sam Woodward was found competent to stand trial.

Investigators say they also mined Sam Woodward's phone and social media

activity. And along with the Nazi propaganda, they found something else.

Sam had visited gay dating and porn sites, and he had exchanged flirtatious

messages with Blaze.

So they matched twice on Tinder.

Lewis Keene, a reporter for The Forward, would cover the case and report on the

conversations between Sam and Blaze.

Blaze admits that he's gay.

Blaze says, I think you're hot.

And Sam says back to Blaze, you're not too bad looking yourself, Blaze.

So they kind of had this flirty interaction.

Maybe Sam was, like, closeted and wanted to hook up.

Raya Robski moved to New York City, where she lives as an openly bisexual

She still wonders about Sam's intentions and Blaze's that tragic night in

Borrego Park.

The defense may argue that Blaze made a move on Sam, and Sam freaked out.

Okay, and if you freak out, does that excuse you stabbing somebody?

April 2024.

Stuff is getting real.

The jury's being picked.

Finally, Sam Woodward headed to trial.

Over time, the case had taken on even greater meaning.

There's a lot at stake here because it's not just about getting justice for

Blaze, but it's also about what precedent this is setting for other

people who have been or might in the future be in similar situations.

Blaze's parents steadied themselves to relive the night that shattered their

lives.

I know that a lot of things will be said that are probably untrue because that's

what happens at a criminal trial.

I have an opportunity to defend Blaze, and that's what I will do.

Please come to Warner. Superior Court is now in session.

The people called Jeannie Pepper.

The final thing that I have to do for my son is be there and make sure that

there is some form of justice.

Good afternoon, Ms. Pepper. It took more than six years for Jeannie and Gideon

to get this day in court.

I just want to thank you for being here, and I'm sorry that the circumstances.

But it comes with terrible memories of the day they lost their son, Blaze.

You remember where you were when you got the phone call? I do remember that,

yeah.

And why does that stand out in your mind?

Because it was the beginning of... Helton.

The couple have to come face to face with their son's killer.

But the killer, Sam Woodward, doesn't seem to want to be seen.

Can I ask you to move the...

Hair out of your face a little bit.

Maybe pull the hair on the right side of your head away so we can see you.

Please.

Thank you.

Even before he took the stand, Sam Woodward was already an eerie presence

courtroom who got everyone's attention.

Sam looked like Charles Manson.

So you couldn't really see his face?

No. You couldn't really hear him all the time.

If you're in the jury, he looked extremely menacing.

Do you want to look him in the eye?

Not really.

I don't care.

He's meaningless to me.

Can I nag you one more time to move your hair out of your face a little bit for

us?

Blaze, we love you, and we want you to come home.

Back when they were frantically searching for Blaze.

Please keep your eyes open for my baby. I want him home with me now.

Sam Woodward told them he didn't know anything about what happened to their

I didn't see where he went.

I searched all over for him. I didn't find him anywhere.

But his looks have changed dramatically.

And so has his story.

Do you remember what you were thinking?

when you were driving the knife down again and again and again?

An anger like nothing I'd ever felt in my whole life.

There's absolutely no question Sam Woodward killed Blaze Bernstein.

The evidence will show that Samuel Woodward is guilty of homicide.

The question for the jury is... Why this homicide was committed.

Sam's defense attorney said in opening arguments that we were going to hear

Sam about something that happened that night that provoked Sam into killing

Blaze.

The challenge for defense attorney Ken Morrison is to prove voluntary

manslaughter, that Woodward acted impulsively.

There was no cold, calculated decision to kill.

And the knife?

According to the defense, it wasn't ever meant for murder.

From the time Sam was a Boy Scout, Sam was never without one.

Did you ever carry a pocket knife with you in the past pocket?

Yes, I would.

Almost all the time.

Did you have a knife in your pocket when you were with Blaise Bernstein?

Yes, I did.

The killing happened in less than an hour.

Prosecutor Jennifer Walker argues this was premeditated murder and a hate

You'll see the cell phone evidence, the DNA evidence, the defendant's words, the

defendant's hate.

In the nearly three months at trial, Walker painstakingly put on more than 20

witnesses, including the same former Atomwaffen member who spoke with us, now

witness for the prosecution who still wanted his identity concealed.

Do you recognize that?

Yes. What is it?

It's a picture of Samuel Woodward.

All to build the case for the added hate charge and a greater sentence.

The difference is the possibility of parole.

If it's no hate crime, then it's 25 years to life with the possibility of

parole. If it's a first -degree premeditated murder and a hate crime,

life in prison without possibility of parole.

The facts of this case are not simple.

The defense uses a time -honored tactic, suggesting the victim is not as

innocent as he appears.

You will learn that Blaze Bernstein...

was not killed because of who he was, but because of what

he did.

Tell us what happened.

In Sam Woodward's version, Sam, can you pick your head up, move your hair?

Blaze was toying with him and threatening to out him.

Once they were in Borrego Park, Sam says he smoked a joint.

I started nodding off.

Sam says he thought Blaze took a compromising picture.

I saw my pants unbuckled.

I could practically, like, feel something somewhat close to my leg.

And he had his phone in his hand.

He tells us that he believes that Blaze is taking a photo of

his privates.

I just came undone. I went in a state of just terror, and I asked, what are you

doing? What are you doing? No photo was ever found, so there's no evidence that

Blaze actually took one.

What were you afraid of?

I grew up in a home with my mother and my father, and I love them more than I

can imagine.

My father, though, he... There's no way, not a chance, people like him,

just even thinking about the look on his face if he saw something like that.

If he'd heard about something like that that got out somehow, I couldn't fathom

that.

Sam grew up in an ultra -conservative Catholic household.

He had parents who believed homosexuality was a sin. But Sam also

to have really conflicted feelings about his own sexuality.

What you come away with is just immense sadness.

of all the external forces coming to bear on his life.

He did what he did, and what he did can't be undone.

Any idea how long it took to stop stabbing Blaze?

No idea.

No. It was one of the most awful things I've ever heard.

And you know that Blaze's parents

are sitting there for months of this trial.

They've been hearing their son is accused of sexual assault.

You can't really imagine what that's like.

Jeannie Pepper walked out of the room.

For the prosecution, the only predator in this story is Sam Woodward.

He has a six -inch knife out and blazes the predator.

Blaze is the problem here.

That's what's being sold to you by the defendant.

He was interested and fixated on hate.

Atomwaffen Division had that outlet for him.

Only two people know what really happened that night.

Sam Woodward has had his say.

Blaze Bernstein isn't alive to tell us.

You should find him guilty of the first -degree murder with the hate crime.

It's the only reasonable conclusion.

Do you have any hesitation?

Do you have any doubt?

Now it's up to the jury.

The passage of time has been doubly hard for Blaze's grandparents, Richard and

Leah, still waiting for justice for the grandson they loved and lost.

I miss him all, everything about him. He was loving and caring.

He was handsome, too.

Blaze and his exceptional appetite for life.

I tried to treat him as a normal kid, you know.

He turned out well.

On July 3, 2024, the jurors began their deliberation.

I don't want him to die. I want him to suffer every day of his life.

Is there a part of you that wants to look that young man in the eye?

No.

Why not?

Because he's a footnote in history.

Whether footnote or headline, grandparents, parents, rabbi, oldest

it felt like forever.

I was nervous and I felt anxiety because I was not sure what the verdict was

going to be.

2 ,364 days after his arrest, Sam Woodward's fate is on the line,

living and dying in prison, or someday possibly walking free.

It's my understanding that you do have a verdict. Is that accurate?

We have.

It took the jury eight hours.

The verdict being read, there's no way to describe what it's like, sort of the

emotional intensity of the moment.

We, the jury, find the defendant, Samuel Woodward, guilty of the crime of first

-degree murder.

But as soon as the jury says guilty, I heard Jeannie say, oh, thank God.

Guilty of murder.

But was it hate?

Did Sam target Blaze because he was gay?

The jury spoke again.

We, the jury, find it to be true.

That's what I'm talking about. I mean, the word word.

Committed hate crime, first -degree murders.

Outside the Orange County courtroom, all that pain and uncertainty overflowed.

Good afternoon. My name is Todd Spitzer. I'm the district attorney of Orange

County. The current DA offered thoughts on love and law.

We don't care who you love or who you want to be with. You deserve to be a

person. with free will, and love who you love, and that needs to be protected.

We are thrilled with the verdict, which holds Samuel

Woodward accountable for the brutal, violent, painful murder of our son,

brother, grandson, cousin, Blaze Bernstein, on January 3rd, 2018.

His parents will never get to speak to him again, and that loss is

The Woodwards also lost their son.

He's going to prison.

When the verdict was that the murder was a hate crime, that essentially meant

that there is the proof that Blaze was murdered because he was gay and Jewish.

Simple as that.

For Rhea.

who Blaze first came out to on that California beach.

In my head, I was telling Blaze we finally got him.

Like, you know, case closed.

And, says the prosecutor, Sam Woodward should pay the maximum price.

He faces life without possibility of parole, and that's what we'll be asking

for. Thank you.

Experts who monitor Atomwaffen say it has largely dissolved, but that the

of hate groups remains today.

You said, love who you love.

It sounds so simple, but it's not.

Just because you're accepting of yourself, that doesn't mean that

going to see the same way as you do.

You know?

Can you picture Blaze if he was alive today?

No, I don't think I can.

Can you still hear his voice?

No.

That's kind of sad.

Yeah.

For Jeannie and Gideon, every day brings reminders of what might have been.

I think about Blaze all the time because when I see things, I think of myself.

What would Blaze be doing now?

They founded what they call a kindness movement, promoting positivity and

acts of kindness in Blaze's name.

Blaze afforded a response to Blaze's death.

And in Borrego Park, where Blaze took his last breath, there is this.

Hundreds of hand -painted stones, most left by total strangers.

In the memory of Blaze Bernstein.

This pile of stones has grown and grown and grown.

Yes. It's great to see the messaging.

It's always positive.

And they're getting sent to us from all over the world.

Still. Still.

The silent stones speak of tolerance. And Blaze Bernstein's transformation

a kind of martyr. His murder a marker of rabid hate.

His spirit, an inspiration to LGBTQ plus people, wherever they live and

with whomever they love.

Blaze's life mattered and he has a legacy to create good

news, to inspire people to be better, to be kinder, and to work on repairing the

world because it's not too late and we can make it better.
