1:18
Oh yes, that's right. It's another addition because
1:24
I'm back. I'm back in black high.
1:29
That is the white shirt. No shoes, just stocks.
1:36
But we're letting the hair down, taking gloves off, and we're
1:40
gonna slap somebody with them because that's what we do.
1:43
Right now. I'm hearing my thoughts.
1:47
Yes, a live edition of my thoughts today is I am your
1:51
wonderful host Maitre-d' bartender.
1:58
Also my bail men, too, in case you need Bail Dean.
2:01
Mine. That's right.
2:02
I have a lot of titles. Only one key.
2:06
The key to the universe that unlocks your mind and your
2:09
hearts and the side door by your garage.
2:13
I got it. All.
2:16
That's right, I. Don't know what's up, but
2:19
welcome to everybody Late Night Thoughts.
2:20
I am Jean Bryan and you are watching the first live edition
2:24
of Late Night Thoughts and original podcast of Real Deal
2:29
Media. Yesterday is real deal.
2:31
Media not incorporated, but by you, the people.
2:34
For the people here tonight, I'm going to be welcoming here
2:37
shortly. Her name is Lexi Marine.
2:39
She's got this incredible new festival that I was invited to
2:44
participate and be at. But unfortunately, due to the
2:47
nature of airports and my experience with them, it's a
2:52
kind of a impossible kind of feat to accomplish.
2:55
But what's not impossible is bringing that festival to you.
2:58
So tonight we're going to be getting into the Mariposa
3:01
Freedom Fest. What's it all about?
3:04
What does it mean? Who are these people?
3:07
And it has a lot to do with the Mexican ambience and the people
3:11
who love freedom. I think she is here tonight.
3:14
Lexi Marie, who's joining us all the way from Puerto Rico.
3:18
Lexi, welcome to late night Thoughts.
3:20
Hi, Dean. How's it going?
3:21
Thank you for being here tonight.
3:22
And you're all the way in Puerto Rico.
3:24
Am I? Am I clear on that?
3:26
Yes, I'm currently in Puerto Rico.
3:28
Yes, currently in Puerto Rico and I've only heard great things
3:31
about the touristry areas of Puerto Rico.
3:34
I'm beautiful, it is. The rum is second to none and
3:39
the people are just incredible. I met you a long time ago.
3:43
The details on that are a little blurry missing.
3:48
I saw you again after many years as we we reunited in Mexico and
3:53
I have to applaud you guys did a great job in Anarcho POCO and
3:56
putting that whole event on. So let's talk about that and
4:01
just exactly what is that event and what relation is it to this
4:06
next one? In February 2024, that is going
4:09
to be the 10th anniversary of Anarchopulco and I I'm not the
4:14
producer of Anarchopulco, I'm the assistant producer.
4:17
So. I I work a lot behind the scenes
4:20
on that one. But we're we're really excited
4:23
for this this 10 year anniversary for Anarchopulco.
4:27
But nonetheless, you had a hand in getting myself down there in
4:32
in the great Mike Adams as we electrified the audience and as
4:37
I stunned the audience the very next morning when I was half
4:39
awake interviewing people. So applause.
4:41
Nobody, nobody knew you were half awake, so applause to you.
4:48
What was the reception like? Because if you don't know that
4:53
festival is a healthy amount of very politically anarcho
5:00
capitalist, if you will. Yeah.
5:02
Definitely an anarcho capitalist festival.
5:04
Hyper libertarian. I mean, anarcho is in the name,
5:08
so Anarchopulco, yeah. So it must have been a maybe a
5:16
departure of like, what are these guys?
5:17
You in here? Honestly, it's diversity at
5:19
Anarcho Polco since I've been working with them for the past
5:22
three or four years. Like we just keep getting new
5:25
minds and new perspectives that are coming to the event and
5:29
sharing ideas. So like, while ten years ago it
5:32
was definitely a very cryptocurrency heavy, anarcho
5:36
capitalist vibe, lately it has expanded to so much into so much
5:41
more than that. It has.
5:44
It has. And I got to tell you, the pina
5:47
coladas were next level. Next level telling you, I I must
5:53
have drank with Richard Gage, the 9/11 guy, well, he, I don't
5:59
know how, but he managed to convince myself.
6:02
He convinced me to be the runner to keep going.
6:04
So I had a great time. We did a fantastic job and you
6:06
guys did as well and you have this new festival called the
6:09
Mariposa Freedom Fest. So like we we are talking about
6:13
sustainable living, personal sovereignty, financial freedom,
6:18
cryptocurrency, tech, privacy, permaculture, bio construction.
6:24
Just conscious expansion, it it covers a wide range of topics,
6:28
but the common theme is that everyone that attends these
6:31
events, they desire more personal freedom in their life.
6:35
Now the difference is that like Anarchopulco is this huge
6:39
production with this huge crowd and you just get lost in The
6:44
Secret Garden venue. There's so much going on all at
6:47
once, whereas Mariposa is out of campground.
6:51
It it is close enough to like Airbnbs in the airport, so very
6:55
easy to get to, easy to attend if you don't want to camp.
6:59
But it's it's a more intimate gathering and that like all of
7:04
the speakers, most of them are staying there on site, they're
7:08
sitting at the dinner table with you, you know having
7:12
conversations throughout the event.
7:15
And it's it's a much more intimate gathering like it for
7:18
me. It's really good for networking
7:19
and it's especially good for people that.
7:22
Are currently living in Mexico or are thinking about moving to
7:25
Mexico because most of the attendees are expats that live
7:30
in Mexico and we we got people from the US and Australia and
7:34
Canada last year and then people that were already established in
7:37
Mexico also showed up. Now this is something I noticed.
7:41
I would love to get your take on this as it was quite telling and
7:44
revealing to me. Just about a year ago is while
7:47
in Mexico I noticed for the first time, and I've been to
7:50
Mexico many, many times and who hasn't if you're from
7:52
California, I mean, you can take a wrong turn and actually
7:55
notice. Wait a minute, there's a
7:57
borough, there's chickens and a guy selling Chiclets.
7:59
Where am I? You know, you might be in Mexico
8:02
and you're like, oh, I'm just in East Sale and nevermind, good.
8:04
But what I've noticed this time around is there was an influx of
8:08
a Canadian people who weren't just there for the festival that
8:14
I went to, and probably yours as well, but made the big move to
8:18
Mexico under duress in which could be classified as refugees.
8:24
Is that something you've noticed too?
8:25
And why exactly is that the case?
8:29
That's something I've experienced myself, in that I
8:31
moved to Mexico in March of 2020 when the COVID Lockdown started
8:35
happening in Colorado. And ever since I've been living
8:40
in Mexico, there has been an influx of Australians,
8:44
Canadians, Americans, Europeans. The expat numbers in Mexico grow
8:50
every year and a lot of it is politically motivated and that a
8:55
law was passed that like drastically changes your way of
8:58
living in your home country and it just makes more sense to make
9:03
a move so that you still have your personal freedoms and
9:06
liberties to go about your daily life.
9:09
Of course it is an adjustment moving to another country
9:12
learning another language, but like I.
9:16
I never look back. I've only visited the US1 time
9:21
since I left, right? Well, you know, what I've
9:25
noticed too is as much as people were relieved to be there, there
9:29
was a sense of sadness because yes, you escaped, but you're
9:33
also looking back and watching the you know what's happening,
9:36
your friends, your hometown. And I'm sure the this, some
9:39
similar things must occur with you.
9:41
You know, you hear about what's happening Colorado, not
9:43
necessarily the mandates or the lockdowns, but to hear just all
9:46
the people from LA are going to Colorado that must hurt and be
9:49
painful that. I mean, I know what kind of
9:52
people are in LA, you know, being there.
9:53
But you know what I'm saying it it must be hard to see the place
9:57
you grow up like, you know, oh, that was my favorite burger
10:00
stand. We go after school that's not
10:02
there. And you know, so I got that
10:05
sense from it, from the Canadians I I met.
10:07
Is that what you're getting? And do you feel that way in an
10:10
expert? Personally, I'm a bit detached
10:13
from Colorado and where I grew up.
10:16
I have this beautiful new life with beautiful new people and
10:21
like just always moving forward to the next beautiful thing and
10:26
I don't put a lot of mental focus or energy or attention
10:30
into. The negativity of like what
10:34
happened to like my old plans, like because I I thought I was
10:38
going to live in Colorado forever.
10:40
And then things changed and I haven't for over 3 1/2 years.
10:45
So I fully accept where I'm headed, where I'm going, like
10:50
where the breeze takes me. Because I know I'm always
10:54
exactly where I need to be to live my life to the fullest and
10:58
people can. Choose that path.
11:01
Or they can choose not to take that path.
11:04
Like, it's really all up to the individual and the environment
11:08
that they're in. And if you're not changing it
11:11
from the inside, then there are equal opportunities elsewhere.
11:18
That's a very good outlook. I was just wondering, is there a
11:20
third option? Usually there's gonna be third
11:24
summer. I'm always picking C when life
11:26
throws me curveballs. We have one of our real deal
11:29
members, Angelina Wolf, saying 20 years here in Baja California
11:33
moved from Colorado as well. Hey Lexi, this might be a
11:36
Colorado thing. I'm just.
11:38
I'm gonna diagnose that. Yeah, no problems elsewhere.
11:42
May I ask what part of Colorado? I'm just curious cuz I I've been
11:45
there. I was in Colorado Springs, the
11:49
Jolt. Yeah, I me personally, I yeah, I
11:53
probably would not want to go back to Colorado Springs.
11:55
I found it very dark, undertoned.
11:59
And yeah, I could see why that. They do have a lot of military
12:03
there like me. I was there and I was just
12:06
heavily involved with the Libertarian Party.
12:08
I was chair of El Paso County. I was on the state board as
12:12
outreach director. I was.
12:14
I was really involved in the Libertarian politics in
12:16
Colorado. And that that was.
12:19
Was sad to leave. But then as soon as I left,
12:22
everyone in the Libertarian Party started infighting about
12:26
we shouldn't have a convention because there's a pandemic or we
12:30
should have a convention. No masks, like.
12:33
And there was all of this infighting in the Libertarian
12:36
Party, and it's just like, well, y'all aren't being very
12:38
libertarian now, are you? So, like, you know, it was sad
12:42
to see it go that way, but. I had already left the state
12:46
like a few months before. It really started getting weird,
12:49
even like in my old circles. Interesting, you mentioned
12:53
Libertarian Party. They've now come up to the fold
12:58
here in the conversations of the big political election season
13:03
we've been in and there has been whispers that RFK Junior.
13:07
May run as a libertarian which I think that has now been negated
13:12
because he's going to do independent which but you know
13:15
that but just the the idea that could happen because the
13:18
Libertarian party has I believe what ballot access and all 50
13:21
states you know you know maybe 49.
13:24
I don't know if they count Delaware as a state still where
13:26
do you see that good the party. I mean, isn't this a great time
13:28
for the libertarians to really make a stand or some kind of
13:34
relevance right now? Because.
13:37
I would love to see that happen. They tend to choose the most
13:42
pragmatic nominee that has talking points with their
13:47
specific platform. They choose the most principled,
13:51
pragmatic person, and it's usually somebody that is
13:53
unknown, has no following, and like, bless their hearts, but
14:00
they're not winning votes by putting the Libertarian platform
14:04
on a ballot. So like, yeah, like if they had
14:09
RFK then they might, they might turn some heads, but I don't
14:16
think they've ran anybody noteworthy since Gary Johnson.
14:20
And you know, like that was the best they could do that year.
14:24
So like, I'm rooting, I'm rooting for him.
14:27
But like I I don't. I don't want to be a pessimist
14:30
and be like they've got no chance.
14:32
But like I I also like to be a realist.
14:36
Remind me of yeah, they're like the little engine that could
14:39
here's your fellow native Angelina Movs says lots of
14:43
Colorado folk moved from Tellarude.
14:46
I missed the mountains. But loving the beach, the surf.
14:48
Nice lifestyle great food. That's right.
14:50
You guys had mountains there and great food and a lot of
14:55
microbreweries I heard in Colorado.
14:57
So I probably would miss that too.
15:00
But anyways. But you know, this is what I've
15:03
always noticed about the libertarians is I think if
15:07
they're what they stand for is very uniting in a way because
15:10
it's sound money, it's no nation building, personal liberty.
15:15
And it respects what the United States and the Constitution was
15:20
set forth to be initially, which was a regulated democracy, a
15:24
Republic. And like you said, winning the
15:27
hearts and minds is more almost. And I know it is more important
15:31
than winning an argument, you know, in politics.
15:35
Democracy is a popularity contest.
15:38
So like. It doesn't mean the best man or
15:42
woman is getting voted in. It's just whoever catches the
15:47
most attention, and that doesn't necessarily mean they're going
15:51
to be good at leading or even do the things that they're
15:55
campaigning on. That's true.
15:58
I mean, look, I've always thought too, and you made great
16:01
sense, they never picked the right people.
16:02
Like why would they allow some someone we know?
16:05
Like, why would they allow people like that?
16:06
They're just like, remember the one guy had a boot on his head
16:09
and it was like the the something.
16:11
I mean this is. Yeah, Vermin, Vermin Supreme,
16:15
and others. Like, I love them as
16:19
individuals. And I I don't believe the
16:22
Libertarian Party has ever actually nominated them as the
16:25
presidential candidate. But they.
16:28
So much attention that everybody sees them and get this
16:32
impression that like, oh, that's everybody in the Libertarian
16:35
Party. Because Libertarian Party is
16:37
such a minority, they don't really look at how many
16:40
different factions are within even the small minority party.
16:46
You know what I mean? And I've always thought that
16:48
why? Why did is it just focusing on
16:51
the presidential and executive? Why doesn't why doesn't the
16:54
libertarian message come to the local?
16:57
They do. That's that's what I was doing
16:59
with the Libertarian Party is like I was going to gun shows
17:02
and community fairs and I was setting up like the Libertarian
17:06
booth. And I never talked about
17:08
candidates. I simply talked about like, OK,
17:11
where like do you think that? You know, drugs should be
17:15
decriminalized. Do you think people should be
17:18
going to prison for nonviolent crimes?
17:21
And like I would. Do you think taxes need to be
17:23
higher? And like, I would just start
17:24
conversations with people about the principles.
17:27
And I did. I, like, I was very successful
17:32
at like getting people to actually engage in a serious
17:34
conversation and consider that like their Team Red and Team
17:39
Blue weren't so black and white and.
17:43
To understand that there are you know, political ideologies
17:47
outside of the two major parties and especially like more leaning
17:53
towards freedom in both these financial and social sense.
17:57
So, like, that's that's what I was doing with Libertarian
18:00
Party. I was never like vote for our
18:02
candidate. I was like, I was more into just
18:05
educating local people on the principles, which is important
18:10
because I think that in your journey that was building your
18:13
repertoire in learning from others.
18:15
You know, just as you met people.
18:18
And I certainly got involved when I was in College in
18:22
politics, I thought, you know, I wanted to do that.
18:24
I took a poli sci class until I said something that wasn't too
18:27
popular and one of the kids stood up and rushed me and we
18:31
got in a fight in class. Different story, but I wound up
18:36
interning. You know, I said to my teacher
18:38
at the time I said I don't care who I I just wanted to see what
18:41
how it goes. I wound up interning for a
18:42
Republican guy who was a state assembly in California.
18:45
And I said, wow, this is just doesn't feel right to me because
18:49
it was so convoluted, contrived, it just wasn't real enough.
18:53
And when something's not real, I can't get behind it.
18:56
And then you know someone like Ron Paul, I'm sure that name,
18:59
you know, know that many of. Yeah, of.
19:01
Course, I know. Ron Paul, yeah.
19:04
Yes. Personally or so he changed my,
19:07
you know, different perspectives.
19:09
And it wasn't because he was, you know, that's what I was
19:13
looking for. But like you said, bringing
19:17
conversations that I've yet never heard before is what
19:20
opened my mind. Yeah, the Green Party right now
19:23
that has turned into my God, they want mandates.
19:29
They only have small ballot access and they've gotten away
19:31
what their party standards stem from and have just turned into
19:35
DNC half the calories. You know what?
19:40
I'm not even sure what differentiates the Green Party
19:43
and the DNC anymore. Two things, a hammer and a
19:48
sickle. That's what it is.
19:50
I thought they were both into that these days.
19:54
No, no, no. Just one has a hammer.
19:56
That's it. And if.
19:57
You're. Oh, I see, I see.
19:59
They're working, working hand in hand.
20:02
Hand in hand, hand in hand, we have somebody asking, Do you
20:05
have to claim Mexican citizenship to get to Mexico?
20:10
Good question. I lived illegally in Mexico for
20:14
three years. Allegedly.
20:16
And then one day, yeah, allegedly.
20:18
Allegedly, I was an illegal alien.
20:20
And then I just went to the immigration office and told them
20:23
that I had been living there illegally for three years and
20:25
they gave me a residence card. So.
20:29
Like, yeah, Like now I am an accountant.
20:32
I have online income. I was able to prove that I
20:36
wasn't like, stealing work from them and stuff like that.
20:39
There was like there was a process.
20:41
But like I it was a very easy process to get my residency.
20:48
And I hardly I didn't really follow the proper channels as
20:53
far as getting it goes. I just, I went to the
20:55
immigration office. Now you do have to go to certain
20:57
immigration offices. The one in Puerto Vallarta is a
21:01
very popular destination to go to.
21:04
They approve. Everybody that walks through
21:07
those doors and gives them a Mexican residency, I personally
21:11
don't know anyone who has been turned away and I know a lot of
21:15
people who have gone into that specific immigration office that
21:18
have walked out with their residency and.
21:22
It was it was easy. It sucks.
21:23
You have to get there like 4 in the morning, wait in line
21:26
because they don't make appointments.
21:27
You just have to be there and be in the queue.
21:30
But you know, like I I got there at like 4:30 AM and then I was
21:34
out by about 3:00 PM. It was a long day.
21:36
It was a long day, but I walked away with my card like in hand.
21:40
The same day happens. Well, that's the way it happens.
21:43
I mean, I remember I walked by that office.
21:45
I didn't want it by citizenship. They said, hey you, you look
21:47
like you want a green card. And I'm like, no, but that's how
21:50
easy it is. It is, but I want to get into
21:54
Mexico now, and someone's asking what part of Mexico you live
21:58
from. You can answer that or not.
22:00
I don't know if you want to share.
22:01
I've I've been living in Morellia, Michoacan because
22:04
personally I like colder weather.
22:07
So I'm kind of up in the mountains a little bit in
22:10
central Mexico and there. Yeah, yeah, that's the, that's
22:14
the Colorado in me is like I I think it's technically the same
22:17
mountain range and everything just a bit further South.
22:23
But yeah, so I've been, I've been in Morelia and I really
22:26
like it. There's a there's a good,
22:27
there's a small freedom community there.
22:30
Like it's it's, you know, they have little monthly meetups.
22:34
I think it's fallen to like maybe every other month or
22:37
somebody just randomly has people over.
22:40
But yeah, like, it's really easy to tap into any of the freedom
22:45
networks that are that are there.
22:48
There. If you go on Telegram and just
22:50
search Freedom Cell, a bunch of groups will pop up, and a lot of
22:55
them are scattered all over Mexico.
22:57
So it's really easy to find people like, even if they're not
23:01
like exactly of your ideology. Again, just that unifying
23:06
principle of like we're all individuals that are looking for
23:09
for your life and now we're all expats in Mexico.
23:13
Yeah. So, like I I've met a bunch of
23:15
people through through that, and a lot of them first came to
23:18
Anarchopulco and then decided to stay and just moved throughout
23:23
Mexico. And now they're coming to Mary
23:25
Posa or speaking at Mary Posa and yeah, well, so this is, I
23:30
want to get into Mexico now because I I have some very, very
23:33
deep rooted concerns. But I will say on a just a
23:37
positive note before I go dark and get into the heavy metal
23:41
portion of tonight. So you know I've I've been
23:44
monitoring the the international scene at to no end so much.
23:48
So I'm starting to annoy myself because I'm like where am I,
23:52
what is going on and what am I going to do about it?
23:55
But if there's one thing I've noticed is that there seems to
23:59
be an influx not into Mexico but a flood and a flooded influx of
24:03
of migrants into the United States.
24:07
And we broke it down in the demographics of who where and
24:10
how where they all come from and a good portion of them are
24:13
coming from Latin America as as expected cliche, but an
24:17
overwhelming amount are coming from what they called other the
24:21
country of other. So my one of my first questions
24:24
Lexi is do you see the influx of of in the passer buyers of of
24:29
migrants from all over the world coming through your
24:32
neighborhoods and hallways in Mexico and flooding into the US?
24:36
And if so who is providing the the transportation and the
24:40
effort to doing that? Cuz a lot of people might be
24:42
seeing this thinking it's the Mexico government, but it's not
24:46
that black and white, is it? I personally never see or
24:53
immigrants coming from other Latin American countries through
24:56
Mexico. From what I hear, they are
24:59
mostly walking or taking buses and.
25:03
The Mexican immigration does stop and deport a lot of people
25:08
back to Colombia. So but also Mexico is such a
25:13
large diverse country and you have some government officials
25:17
that are in cahoots with this cartel and then other government
25:20
officials that are working with a different cartel and they are
25:25
not working with each other. So it is not a black and white
25:30
situation at all if you try to break down.
25:33
Mexican politics and what is going on?
25:35
It is absolute chaos. What makes it chaotic?
25:38
Because I've, you know, Mexico City is the most millionaires
25:41
per capita, one of them, and it's one of the most polluted
25:45
cities in the world. Yet you have the Pope as of
25:47
yesterday, waving his popey finger at the US saying we need
25:52
to fall under climate and I'm thinking as you not just took a
25:55
long breath in Mexico City. I I lived in Mexico City for 10
25:59
months and I had to move to Mirellia because I got sick.
26:04
The pollution was so bad that it gave me just a permanent like
26:07
bronchitis type of type of sickness.
26:10
So and then like a couple months after I was out of there that
26:14
went away. So I know for it was definitely
26:17
the pollution. I I couldn't stay there long
26:20
term. See.
26:22
I mean where's the where where's his finger wagging and and
26:26
saying no mas, no mas okay. So you said complications.
26:30
Now that's interesting having covered Canada because of the
26:33
the crises going on up there you know as Americans.
26:37
And it's really sad and I'm sure you'll agree, we really are not
26:40
taught anything about Canada outside of they have, you know
26:43
Maple syrup and really great ginger ale and shitty bands.
26:49
The same applies to Mexico in the way you know their politics.
26:54
You know, we know about Santa Ana and the historical, you
26:57
know, just talking points of it, but we don't know how it's run
27:00
today, you know, once you get past the the cartel faction of
27:04
it. But so just how complicated in a
27:07
very non complicated way can you articulate Mexico and what
27:11
they're all about there politically?
27:13
The simplest way I can put it is that the Mexican government's
27:16
very inefficient. They do sometimes pass laws that
27:21
are. Socialist leaning or even like
27:26
socially conservative where they're like doing things like
27:28
banning vapes or you know like you know like just non
27:34
libertarian laws are being passed in Mexico.
27:37
But like I can go to the Mercado in Mexico and I'm still able to
27:41
buy my nicotine vapes. There's even weed vapes there
27:44
and marijuana and yeah, so it's so it's like I I go to the
27:48
Mercado and like them, the same person that sells me fruits and.
27:52
Like, has all of this stuff. You just gotta ask for it.
27:55
And like, they don't think you're sketchy at all.
27:57
Like they're they're just happy to do business with you.
28:00
And like, you know, like police, local police will be walking
28:04
around the markets and nobody cares.
28:07
So the federal laws that they're passing are not being enforced
28:11
on the streets. Now of course, like with
28:14
corruption, if you're like carrying marijuana on you and
28:18
like some asshole cop comes up to you and like.
28:21
The worst they're gonna do is steal your weed.
28:24
You're not going to jail. You're not, you know, like just
28:27
don't carry a bunch of cash or illicit substances.
28:30
And like you, like nobody's nobody's going to.
28:37
Like, no. So they're gonna steal your
28:40
weed. Are they gonna smoke it right in
28:41
front of you, too? And just.
28:42
They won't smoke it right in front of you.
28:44
I haven't experienced that. And I've never had my weed
28:47
stolen. I've never had my peso stolen by
28:49
the police. I but, like, I have had friends
28:52
that are just like, yeah, the cops shook me down.
28:54
They stole my cash and they stole my weed, like, but like,
28:59
they didn't get a ticket. They didn't go to jail like, you
29:02
know, like it was. They don't.
29:05
Yeah. Like the police, they're in,
29:06
from what I've experienced, like, they don't want to do the
29:08
paperwork so there is a bit of abuse of power and corruption,
29:12
but like not to a level that, like they're gonna get in
29:15
trouble for it. So yeah, like it's it's the
29:18
wild, Wild West there. It really, it really is.
29:23
So like, yeah, like if you if you want more freedom and are
29:26
willing to have like a little less security.
29:30
And then, like, that is the reality.
29:32
But at the same time, like if you go to Chicago or Detroit,
29:35
like, it's more dangerous there than anywhere.
29:39
I was living in Mexico. That is true.
29:42
Sort of, Yeah. It's so true.
29:44
And you know, just hearing that, my take away is I think we need
29:47
more weed smoking cops, I think that is the answer.
29:50
You know, think about that. Cops walking around, you know,
29:53
big old belly and a bag of Donuts in a big old joint next
29:57
to him. You know, that's what we that
29:59
may be the remedy here. Here's some some people chiming
30:02
in. Here we have Angelina Wolf who
30:04
seems to follow you everywhere you go.
30:07
Like she she started in Colorado, now she's in Mexico
30:09
and she'll probably go to Puerto Rico next.
30:11
We'll see if history. No, she's.
30:13
Gonna go to Mary Posa next. Mary Posa she will, she will go.
30:17
We'll hook you up. She has huge influx of
30:19
Argentines, Argentines there, indeed.
30:23
Then she says Yep, Tiendas are drug dealers too.
30:26
Anything you want, Okay, OK? And then cartel, she says.
30:29
Will kill outsiders for selling, yes.
30:33
Do not grow too many avocados. Do not sell any drugs.
30:39
I I think that like, if you don't do those two things,
30:42
you're gonna be fine in Mexico. Don't don't go there as an expat
30:45
and try to be a drug dealer. Don't grow too many avocados.
30:48
I don't know what it's up with the avocado cartels, but they
30:51
are a thing. Don't own a bunch of land with a
30:53
bunch of avocados, avocado Nazis.
30:57
But yeah, like, if you're not competing with the cartels, and
31:00
it is very easy to live in Mexico and not be in competition
31:04
with the cartels, then I've been perfectly safe there for 3 1/2
31:08
years. Okay.
31:10
Well, there goes my business plan going to Mexico.
31:13
All right. Well, okay.
31:16
So we talked about an influx of Argentinians and that's
31:19
interesting. And it's interesting in
31:21
Argentina too. Also have a contact in Ecuador,
31:23
but regarding Argentina, and I wanna ask you, they're actually
31:27
now experiencing A revival of their sovereignty, freedom, you
31:32
know, inner freedom, their inner child that lets freedom.
31:35
They have a new presidential candidate.
31:36
That is all the talk. But is that true?
31:40
So there's an influx of Argentinians as one of your
31:42
neighbors in, but I guess there. Yeah.
31:44
There is, over there is. OK, what about Chinese?
31:50
Let's talk about China, the big red yellowish elephant in there.
31:55
Definitely, definitely not as much like Asians or definitely a
32:00
very, very small minority from what I've seen in Mexico.
32:06
Every once in a while you'll you'll find an entire apartment
32:09
building that is full of Asians. I'm I'm not sure exactly which
32:14
country they might be from. But given that, like it'll be
32:18
down the street from one of those like Chinese stores that
32:21
has all the cheap electronics and then like a China buffet
32:24
like I can, I can put two and two together and assume.
32:27
But I've never seen more than like maybe a small apartment
32:31
building full of them in one place in Mexico.
32:34
OK, OK, so there's hotels full of Asians.
32:38
Are you sure you weren't in a geisha house?
32:40
That's my next one that was. No, definitely, definitely an
32:44
apartment building. The apartment buildings in
32:46
Mexico do look different than the hotels, I was gonna say.
32:51
I mean, if you start seeing someone eating a Jimmy Chong
32:54
with chopsticks, you might be in the wrong place.
32:57
Well, the reason I ask is, you know, in the past ten years,
33:01
Speaking of influx, you've seen military bases and especially at
33:05
the ports, probably not where you are.
33:06
You're in the mountain area, but the closer you get to Tijuana,
33:09
Baja California, there is a Chinese natives influence in an
33:16
acceleration of populist around there.
33:19
And coming into. Baja California.
33:20
That doesn't surprise me nearly as much.
33:22
I've never been to Baja I don't know anything about.
33:25
Like the northern half of Mexico.
33:27
I've I've become quite familiar with, like central Mexico and
33:30
South, especially towards the West Coast, like Cancun,
33:33
Acapulco, Puerto Barda, Mazatlán, and then just like
33:37
Mexico City and Morelia. But.
33:40
I haven't really made it to any of the other places, so my
33:43
perspective of Mexico is very limited to the southwest
33:49
regions. So here's my big I guess where
33:53
I'm going with it and to further express is we see an uptick in
33:58
violence. I cover these swords all the
34:00
time. All the people going to is it
34:02
Tumar or Tulan? In all the terrorist areas, the
34:05
cartels seem to be stealing, taking over and going after the
34:09
wealth and the Canadians, you know everything of that matter.
34:12
What I see happening is in the downturn of the United States
34:16
and the West and the people who have that racial makeup, if you
34:21
will, they seem to get targeted throughout time and throughout
34:24
the historical lessons. Whether it was the Jews escaping
34:27
Germany, which is very much very similar to what we see here,
34:32
they tend to get targeted in the hence why the Jews had to change
34:35
their last names to Polish names or German names.
34:38
Do we see that happening again? Because there's no question
34:42
about it. Let's see that violence in the
34:44
uptake is is occurring, but so is the resentment for American
34:49
policies, what the CIA has done to the Central Americas and
34:53
other economies around the world.
34:55
Do we see the hatred towards I guess Whitey on the rise?
35:00
That is not something I've ever experienced in the parts of
35:03
Mexico that I've been in. I can't speak for what's going
35:06
on in the North. I will say that, like, there's a
35:09
general disdain for Americans specifically, but I I definitely
35:14
haven't experienced it as far as like, hatred towards white
35:18
people. In fact, like, Mexico is one of
35:20
the most racist places I've ever been in that they they don't
35:24
like darker people there. And it's really embarrassing
35:27
for, for, you know, like. That's true.
35:30
That is the state of the culture there, though I definitely have
35:33
never run into any problems there.
35:36
And yeah, that is not something I've experienced.
35:39
That is something I've experienced in the US You get
35:41
all these social justice warriors that are screeching
35:45
about white privilege, and then it almost.
35:48
Then it almost turns into a reverse.
35:50
But that is, yeah, I know like the furthest thing from anything
35:54
I've experienced in Mexico, right.
35:56
Well, what you said is so true is a lot of people don't know
35:59
what Mexico does is they have no middle.
36:03
They have no middle class, right.
36:05
So you have the the extremely rich or extremely poor.
36:08
So the extremely poor just so happen to be, as you said, the
36:10
darker Mexicans, bald legged, some of them very tiny.
36:14
Those are like the original like Aztecs, Mexicans, the people
36:17
running the country. I've always found or tall white
36:20
green eyes, the standards who took over have always seemed to
36:24
just rain power while pushing the poverty into the corporate
36:28
welfare. Just, you know, greeters over
36:30
here in the US so they don't have a true revolution in Mexico
36:33
and have to deal with these people.
36:35
And you know, I mean I've been to Ensenada enough times where
36:38
you know, which I don't like going to.
36:40
You couldn't hold your breath that long.
36:42
But that's what I've noticed is you absolutely hit on the head
36:47
is the the Spaniard, you know, stranglehold of the government
36:51
in Mexico. Yeah, that is, that is
36:54
definitely the case like. You know like and it's very
36:58
localized to the specific neighborhood.
37:00
Like you walk in one neighborhood and it's all.
37:03
They'll even refer to themselves as white seconds and then they
37:07
will. Yeah like.
37:08
And then the Marinos will even refer themselves as Marinos.
37:10
And it is a very divided society for sure.
37:16
There is there is not a lot of like ending up at the same
37:20
social events or any of that. It is.
37:22
It is a very. Segregated culture on that
37:25
front, interesting. Lexi, I want to take this quick
37:28
break and I want to come back and get into the festival and
37:31
and kind of a concludes very strong here and how people can
37:34
get their tickets and if we can watch online.
37:37

37:38
Lexi, stand by, you are watching it.
37:41

37:44
Late night thoughts as we're talking about everything.

38:02

41:22
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Okay, we have your neighbor
41:26
Angelina right there. How far is Baja from where you
41:29
are? Was that a few hours or?
41:31
That is several hours. That's probably a 20 hour drive
41:35
from where I live and I think even if I'm in creative art,
41:38
it's like. It's at least like a 10 or 15
41:42
hour drive and then like it's an expensive ferry or or it's like
41:46
a 25 hour drive to like drive all the way up and around and
41:49
down into the peninsula. But yeah, I've.
41:52
I've never been up there. Well, one of our members, she's
41:55
right there. And she plays music too.
41:57
You might want a nice acoustic guitarist there as well.
42:01
Can make that, hey. We're actually inviting people
42:04
to bring their instruments because one of the nights we
42:06
wanna do like an acoustic campfire jam session.
42:09
So please bring your instruments and okay Angelina you have the
42:14
open invite there to go to the festival which we're gonna show
42:18
you how to do that in a second. Yeah, we'll film it too.
42:22
We'll film it too. But Angelina ask as you see it
42:24
here. As you know Dean, anti anti
42:27
American sentiments growing wasn't always like this.
42:29
Yesterday they resent our wealth, but we also have
42:32
stronger work ethics as Americans might take.
42:36
And they also resent to just how just our perfect hair Lexi, we
42:41
have perfect hair compared to Mexicans.
42:43
Don't you think so? See, I don't.
42:47
I don't see the resentment. But yes, we do have perfect hair
42:51
all the time. I have just.
42:53
I don't even want to get into it.
42:54
It's just nightmares. Here's.
42:56
Some I mean, you knew this, but here's someone else asking.
43:00
We have Facebook user in birth name by mind you.
43:05
Do you know what happens if you are caught dealing drugs in
43:07
Mexico? Would you be able to contact the
43:09
American government to help you with your case?
43:12
Great question. Like.
43:15
You better hope the cops catch you and not the cartel, because
43:19
if the cartel catches you like you're just going to disappear
43:24
and. Like, as far as government
43:27
enforcement goes, like, it's so. Lately.
43:32
Yeah. Like I.
43:33
I don't know any foreigners that have gotten caught up with the
43:36
Mexican government and like when they did they were like worst
43:39
case would be like in jail for a few days and then be deported to
43:42
their home country. I, I but like I also like I
43:47
have. I have no idea like I'm I'm not
43:49
a good source to answer this question.
43:52
We have Angelina Movises Mariposa Fest, November.
43:54
Yeah, Time for the monarchs. Yes, yes, yes, the monarch.
43:58
Butterflies are migrating at that time of year.
44:01
That is the beginning in the monarch season.
44:03
But Mary, yeah, Mary Posta, the name like obviously butterflies
44:08
are just flying free and it's good symbolism.
44:12
But the venue we have the event on Rancho Madre Tierra, which is
44:17
translates to Mother Earth Ranch.
44:19
They actually have a butterfly sanctuary, like butterfly Garden
44:24
at the venue. So yeah, like it's really, it's
44:28
such a beautiful, serene place. Beautiful and beautiful, Yeah.
44:35
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
44:36
And there's gonna be a lot of butterflies and butterfly kisses
44:40
and wishes. The lodging.
44:42
You can camp out there. We do have glamping.
44:45
This year too. And like I said, the venue's
44:47
only 15 minutes from the Puerto Varda International Airport.
44:52
You can easily get there by Uber or taxi.
44:54
And there are so many, like hotels and Airbnbs nearby.
44:58
Like, if camping isn't specifically your thing.
45:02
But yeah, I know. Like lots of lots of opportunity
45:07
for all different types of interests there.
45:10
And this is what I love about independent festivals,
45:13
independent mind and liberty minded festivals is, you know,
45:17
it starts with that, that instant, you know, philosophical
45:20
connection, but it then turns into, you know, just a really
45:24
fun, just kind of an event and where you can just feel relaxed
45:28
again. You want to go to Mariposa
45:31
Freedom Fest? Dot com.
45:33
That's right. That's right.
45:35

45:39

45:42

45:45
It's at Mary Posa Freedomfest. So yeah, find us on Telegram,
45:51

45:53
You can see it right there. Tickets are on sale.
45:57
It's only 40 USB for the three day pass for general admission
46:02
because I wanted to price it in a way that like it was
46:06
accessible to local Mexicans as well.
46:09
It is overwhelmingly like expats and international people that
46:12
show up, but we do have a few locals that come and talk about
46:15
like herbalism and traditional medicine and they're going to.
46:19
Have a tennis skull ceremony there.
46:21
So like we do, we do integrate the local culture and community
46:26
as much as we can. Absolutely.
46:29
And I would also suggest if you're going to go to this
46:31
festival, do not bring any guacamole unless you value your
46:34
life very dangerous. Like I said, just don't.
46:38
Don't. Own land with the avocado trees
46:40
growing on it. I think it's a water rights
46:43
issue. I think it boils down to water
46:45
rights and. You reached out to me, Lexi, and
46:49
I'm glad you did because I'm always open to promoting just
46:53
lovely events and with people that are producing.
46:57
You you always done good work and so we want to champion that.
47:03
But any kind of final, final thoughts here on late night
47:06
thoughts you want to share with this late night crowd who's
47:09
watching from all over the world?
47:11
Thank you so much for having me. And I hope to see some of you
47:15
all in November at Mary Post Freedom Festival.
