  Here's your host, Alex Garrett here on the Alex Here Podcast Network. I
• 0:10
  ask one question tonight, one question tonight. When two governments, yes not
• 0:19
  just one, but two governments fail a family in America, what's the next
• 0:29
  option? Well, I have some good news for you because if you heard
• 0:37
  last week of the kidnapping of one Maria del Carmen Lopez, there's a tech
• 0:45
  firm that has stepped up, stepped up on behalf of the family of Carmen
• 0:52
  and that community, that platform is called Community X Community X, which is
• 0:59
  now created Justice for Carmen. You might have seen this on CNN, CBS
• 1:03
  News, ABC News, NBC News, Fox News, But I guess the
• 1:07
  conversation died because unfortunately, both the American and Mexican governments have failed the family
• 1:15
  and have failed Maria do Carmen Lopez. If you don't know the story,
• 1:21
  on February ninth, twenty twenty three, a group of men in a van
• 1:26
  pulled up to the home of Carmen and kidnapped her. After the first call
• 1:33
  to the family on February tenth, twenty twenty three, to demand a ransom,
• 1:38
  the kidnappers continue to talk with the family until all communications stopped. The
• 1:46
  family has not heard from their mom. Since both the Mexican and American governments
• 1:53
  have a volleying responsibility to one another, the US government directed the FBI toy
• 2:00
  to the investigation. The FBI has been involved, but the Mexican government has
• 2:07
  jurisdiction over the case. Because this kidnapping happened in Pablo Pueblo named Nuevo Mexico,
• 2:17
  there's no pressure from the American government right now in the family worries Carmen
• 2:22
  might not be found in time. Elisbon Lopez, the daughter of Carmen,
• 2:28
  says Maria. Now, Carmen Lopez is not only a mother to me and
• 2:31
  my six siblings, but most importantly, she is the light in our world.
• 2:37
  She's loving, funny, and always willing to help others. She is
• 2:40
  someone who has touched the lives of many with her kindness and compassion. The
• 2:46
  void her absence has created is immeasurable. We are devastated by the thought of
• 2:51
  her suffering in captivity. We plead to the United States government to extend its
• 2:55
  full support to our mother. To the Mexican authorities, we demand that every
• 3:01
  resource be deployed to uncover the truth about our mother, Maria del Carmen Lopez's
• 3:07
  kidnap, and this family has turned to Community X and CEO and founder Chloe
• 3:14
  Cheyenne, who says Community X stands firmly with Carmen's family as they take on
• 3:20
  the unthinkable task of demanding justice for their kidnapped mother. Carmen status as an
• 3:25
  American citizen means that she's owed the best support possible from the American government.
• 3:32
  We believe that adequate federal resources should be allocated to this recovery effort. As
• 3:38
  each day go by, the possibility of Carmen being found alive decreases, and
• 3:45
  we are asking both the American and Mexican governments to work together and resolve the
• 3:50
  situation as soon as possible. Community X, by the way, is a
• 3:54
  social impact tech company which uses its digital activism to advocate for people around the
• 4:00
  world. See this community is stepping up. This community x app is stepping
• 4:06
  up for this family at Justice Forcarmen dot Com. To be honest, I
• 4:14
  did not realize who was kidnapped when I saw the story first on Fox News
• 4:21
  because the headline just blared American woman kidnapped in Mexico, and I thought,
• 4:29
  we're the same country that not only has not fought for this woman, but
• 4:33
  is allowing our borders to be open. Not to get political, but it
• 4:38
  is kind of crazy that both of these things are happening at the same time.
• 4:44
  We've got the FBI involved, but it seems like they're not doing enough
• 4:48
  about anything. And news wise, Christopher Ray is now held in contempt or
• 4:55
  going to be by the House of Representatives for not showing them a lot of
• 5:00
  information on the Biden a hunder Biden laptop situation. But this is why we
• 5:10
  need accountability, accessibility, and adaptability, because the accountability, the accessibility,
• 5:16
  and the adaptability are taken upon the families and the hard working men and women
• 5:23
  of this country, the ones that start the innovation, like Community X,
• 5:30
  who has the petition Justice Forcarmen dot com, the family that says we're not
• 5:34
  going to weigh around for the government of the United States or the Mexican government.
• 5:42
  That's where the American exceptionalism comes from. The families that step up and
• 5:51
  the CEOs that step up, and the communities that step up for those in
• 5:57
  need, not the government. And while my brain's on it, I want
• 6:01
  to say I've been reading Mark Twain and a Knnecticut Yankee goes to King Arthur's
• 6:11
  court thanks to Apple Books. But here's what he says, and I love
• 6:16
  what he says on page if you read this properly on page one seventy one
• 6:26
  of a Connecticut yank yanking Arthur's court, small independent farmers, artisans, etc.
• 6:35
  Or the nation, the actual nation. They were about all of it
• 6:41
  that was useful or worth saving or really respect worthy, And to subtract them
• 6:46
  would have to would have been to subtract the nation and leave behind some dregs
• 6:51
  refuse in the shape of a king, nobility, gentry, idol on productive,
• 6:58
  acquainted mainly with the arts of wasting and destroying of no sort or value
• 7:03
  in any rationally constructive world. What Mark Twain is saying, it's home to
• 7:09
  me today with the fight to get justice for Carmen, the independence, the
• 7:19
  seven tenths of the free population, just their class and degree, just the
• 7:30
  family struggling right now to find out where their mother, their sister, their
• 7:35
  grandmother is because our governments aren't helping. So this is why a story like
• 7:49
  this needs to be trending more, not just the story, but the efforts
• 7:54
  behind the story. And so if you're not able to. There will be
• 8:01
  a press conference in Los Angeles this Wednesday at twelve thirty pm Pacific time,
• 8:11
  when the press arrives at one pm Pacific four pm Eastern, where Community X
• 8:16
  and the family of kidnapped American woman Maria del Carmen Lopez all the preference conference
• 8:24
  in Los Angeles to demand justice. That justice is for Carmen. Justice Forcarmen
• 8:31
  dot com visit now. The fact that I'm in our government is doing anything
• 8:35
  to push the Mexican government to give this family that is suffering answers should really
• 8:39
  piss you off. And the fact that Community X and CEO Chloe Cheyenne is
• 8:50
  stepping up, she's also the founder of Community X, should give you hope
• 8:58
  that listening the fabric of this nation, the hard working men and women,
• 9:07
  not maybe the ones that they got to elect, the presence present, the
• 9:09
  hard working men and women. They are the ones that will keep this fabric
• 9:18
  alive because they're fighting and they're fighting back, and that's what I think Dan
• 9:24
  Ellsberg tried to do when he blew the lid off the Pentagon Papers to fight
• 9:30
  back in their own ways for the good of the American people and if they
• 9:35
  do find out and they do get answers quicker than the American government, they
• 9:41
  are heroes to maybe more detained by the Mexican cartels and then some down in
• 9:48
  Mexico and abroad. So go to Justice Forcarmen dot com. That's Justice Forcarmen
• 9:56
  dot com for information and collecting signatures on a petition that community X created to
• 10:05
  help the Lopez family locate and rescue Carmen. God bless you, Maria,
• 10:11
  Do Carmen Lopez. God bless the family of Maria. Do Carmen Lopez.
• 10:16
  And we'll keep an eye on this for you on the Alex Garrett Podcast Network
