I am exhausted by the long haul to Michi K to spend some time with the boys' parents, the young boys who used to panhandle and sell their talent on the Moo Drive, playing music for coins after seeing many videos of these boys over the last four or five years and working with them finally, as they become young teens. Moving into the adult world, I became more fascinated by what's happening in Mexico and the C M X and the government, how it's completely relevant to understand that the middle class in Mexico doesn't exist. In fact, the middle class that is here is filled by foreigners and foreign companies who are using the lower class to work for them. All of these things were social designs by politicians too. Maintain the strength and wealth of their government. Meanwhile, make the Mexicans poorer and poorer, and never had the opportunity to rise to a new social class. Things that are clearly, clearly the design of the city of Mexico government and other governments within Mexico. What to do about it as a dual citizen Mexican who cares about Mexico. Because when I grew up in Mexico when I was very young and I used to come here from the States, I saw Mexico change over the last 40 years in a way that's very negative. Last night, I was driving from a meeting, a business meeting, and I happened to drive through South CVM X. Once again, I was disillusioned and sad that all I saw were corporations from the United States popping up stores and getting tax breaks so that the Mexican poor could work once again. The current government of Mexico City doesn't care about education. I was once told that education was not the city of ex problem. It was the government problem for the national government. But once I say, well, if that's true, then why don't we have leadership in the city government and teach the national government how to educate the poor? Well, there's a reason why cuz it doesn't serve the purpose of the city government. And the current mayor in her goals, because obviously, she's a teacher, so she's teaching the poor just to continue to be poor. As I was Mitch O'Connor, I was pretty amazed by what I saw. I saw families generating families, generating families unlike, or much like the world generates families to survive, to become part of the. The social structure of their life. To generate income. To survive. Not to live, but to survive. Clearly, if you look at any social structure, and that lasts for a long time, that's by design. So clearly in Mexico that has been designed, it's clear by looking at what happened, the last vote in Mexico si in the city of, of the state of Mexico, once again by design. You see a machine working and injecting what they want for social gain, not for the people, but for the finances of the rich and keeping the poor without giving them education, without giving them ways to transcend selling items on the street that come from China. As I traveled to Mitchell's account, I was also amazed. I looked at all the stores. I saw what was happening in these hundred-year-old-plus buildings. That was just amazing to see that they are still there. After a hundred-plus years, people still vending on the streets. That one time was filled with horses and carriages. I didn't take a lot of pictures of these things because I was mesmerized by what I was seeing. I was transcended into a world 150 years back. Of movies that I saw that almost won Academy Awards, I was amazed by what I was seeing hasn't changed for the poor of Mexico, but the politicians who gained from bringing these corporations in fatted their pockets at the expense of the people who put them in office. The CDMX mayor is no different. She's quite the same. Sadly, as a first-generation immigrant, you would think and hope more than what we see. What I also noticed is the same individual who wants to become president never speaks very much. She has others speak for her, which is an example of being a puppet and not leading the poor Mexican or the Mexican people to anything other. But what is this today, what it is today? So you have the rich and you have the poor. As we finished our trip with the young boys, talking to the parents, and getting all the ne necessary paperwork so we could help them become a different class of people giving them the opportunity so they can send money back to their families so they can participate in the vertical rise to hopefully something special for them and their family as we did this. I'll never forget the image of what I saw. I'm not going to repeat it here because some would take it wrong, but it was a beautiful image. The families sitting with future families, taking the pennies that they had and making a meal, helping each other as the government was choosing not to help them—one of the things. That my assistant talked to them about giving the young wards that working with more education. The answer was, well, we're still waiting for the government to give us some money so we can begin their education. And that's why the boys aren't so interested in education. Now, I do know that education is the gateway to everything. You have to work hard; you have to have the opportunity. And you more importantly had to have a government that's willing to help you because if you don't, the rich will only help themselves. That is Mexico. My first political involvement was watching my brother Alpen work with B in Nafta. I was very proud of him and thought so much was going to happen. At the end of that experience working with Fox and John McCain, I realized Mexicans on both sides of Rio would stay poor. I'm not saying some will make it because some will cop out, some will work with the system, and some will compromise so that they can have and they can be better than the others in their social class. Not help them, but help themselves. In the movie The Searchers, John Wayne uses some Mexican banditos in a restaurant to find the woman that the Indians stole, who no longer wanted to live with her family, but has chosen to live with the Indians. It was funny and sad. It is in that movie. The Mexicans were the Bandidos who were paid to give information. They were the middlemen who took the money and food and ran. It's sad because that's not the Mexican people. That was a group of Mexican people who so doubted, just like we see many politicians today. Who's sold out for greed, first-generation immigrants who came here on the whim in trust and love of Mexico, to give them an opportunity who's willing to sell out once again for money and fame, A woman of all people in this scene, the last scene I was talking to my assistant about this particular scene. And I said I want to include that in the movie that the government gives us the money, but they won't cause it's too important to tell a story, and they want stories that are not real. They want stories that sell illusion, where I want to tell stories, that show people how to be stronger and overcome.
