Thank you very much for taking the time 00:03:20.699 --> 00:03:24.120 to have me here. Yeah. So yeah, so I started 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.520 documentary film. Well, before that, I was in 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.979 the digital marketing. I started in 2016, started 00:03:29.979 --> 00:03:32.340 a company with a buddy of mine. And then from 00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:35.280 there, we would hire videographers and photographers. 00:03:35.819 --> 00:03:37.919 And I learned exactly how to do it because I 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.500 was out without them in the field. So I always 00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:42.300 follow these guys. I learned. I picked up all 00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:45.520 their stuff. And then a year after that, I got 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.740 kicked out of the company I helped start, which 00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:49.939 was kind of a good thing because then I wouldn't 00:03:49.939 --> 00:03:51.400 be able to be doing the things that I'm doing 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.139 now. So it's kind of like a blessing in disguise. 00:03:54.460 --> 00:03:57.500 It didn't seem like it back. then but you go 00:03:57.500 --> 00:03:59.520 through these things and I started picking up 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.099 more videography so I started selling it to businesses 00:04:02.099 --> 00:04:04.199 I did the marketing and advertising through social 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.800 media anywhere you can place a digital ad I do 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.659 that stuff right I still do it it pays the bills 00:04:08.659 --> 00:04:11.680 because I don't care what anybody says documentary 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:16.279 filmmaking does not pay yeah I mean doing documentary 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.300 itself man I think that's like uh to me I see 00:04:19.300 --> 00:04:21.420 it as a real tough job man because you gotta 00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:24.680 really nitpick at everything, you know, you got 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.120 to really detail everything. You got to be right. 00:04:26.339 --> 00:04:29.000 Yes, exactly. To the teeth. You know, you can't 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.079 put too much, you can't, you cannot put false 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.500 stuff out there. You got to put out what you're 00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:35.459 seeing. People will fact check you for sure. 00:04:35.699 --> 00:04:37.319 Yeah, like I said, going through his Facebook, 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:38.560 there was some stuff he was putting out there 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.279 and people were like, really like, no, you don't 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.319 know what you're talking about. Like, wow. Wow. 00:04:43.500 --> 00:04:46.879 Does that sound like the payaso? Wow. No, but 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.319 yeah, dude, it's crazy Going back to what you're 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.980 talking about. It took me the collapse took me 00:04:52.980 --> 00:04:55.360 two years So so a lot of people know is I created 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.000 the the collapse which is a true story of the 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.459 Queen Isabel cosmic collapse four years ago, 00:05:00.980 --> 00:05:03.819 right? It took me about two years to to hold 00:05:03.819 --> 00:05:06.480 do the whole documentary to actually do the podcast 00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.319 We had like nine different podcasts from experts 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.040 that were out in the water captain seabow captains 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.540 We had we had very good Intel to tell a compelling 00:05:15.500 --> 00:05:19.160 story that went off to win 16 best features awards 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:25.839 from around the world. The second one was Conquista 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.019 which is about an artist from Alamo that went 00:05:29.019 --> 00:05:33.040 to University of Houston and he spray painted 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.040 over 78 million dollar Pablo Picasso in Houston. 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.519 fled the country for six months and served two 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.079 years in jail. That one went off and won six 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:42.959 best feature awards from around the United States. 00:05:43.379 --> 00:05:46.680 So I was on a spree. I was like, I can't let 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.680 the first one go because I need to follow it 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:50.519 up with something that way nobody can tell me 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.459 I'm a one hit wonder. So I had to come up with 00:05:53.459 --> 00:05:55.620 the second one. And then I didn't find anything 00:05:55.620 --> 00:05:57.920 that was compelling enough that I wanted to spend 00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.139 my time on talking about and then invest another 00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:04.620 two years in what I was doing. So then came along, 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:07.680 I was in Houston. I took my daughter to a dance 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.060 recital and March 27th was when the storms came 00:06:11.060 --> 00:06:13.959 in. So March 27th, they've ravaged San Benito, 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.939 Harlingen area. And I was looking at it on Facebook 00:06:16.939 --> 00:06:20.980 and I just see everybody is like. Chaos going 00:06:20.980 --> 00:06:23.000 on here, right and I've never experienced anything 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:24.959 like that. I was I was on the phone looking at 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.060 everybody's stuff I was like shit. I'm not even 00:06:27.060 --> 00:06:28.500 home. Like I don't even know what's going on. 00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:30.839 I can't help anybody and nothing like that I 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.360 was out of the valley also for San Antonio vacation 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.060 with the family. Yeah, man I was sitting there 00:06:36.060 --> 00:06:38.500 and I was just like I was literally your dad 00:06:38.500 --> 00:06:42.399 at a recital you're doing nothing like I'm like 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.879 my legs are like sitting there like driving myself 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.300 crazy. So I was like, I started writing a fictional 00:06:49.300 --> 00:06:51.980 story, like just writing the script because I 00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:54.019 started getting a script writing. So I started 00:06:54.019 --> 00:06:56.480 writing a fictional story about a flood that 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.079 comes and it kills 100 ,000 people in the Rio 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.519 Grande Valley and it ravaged everybody. So I'm 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.100 not sure if you're familiar with like Hurricane 00:07:03.100 --> 00:07:06.319 Bula. Yeah, 1967 it came. Did you know that there 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.959 were 150 tornadoes that ravaged the area? I've 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.300 read reports of me and my parents have told me 00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:15.860 about that also. Flooding was insane. Crazy so 00:07:15.860 --> 00:07:18.459 I started writing a story about a new hurricane 00:07:18.459 --> 00:07:20.759 Bula, which is overdue by the way So yeah, if 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.560 you think about March 27th flooding and then 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.399 last week we had hail and in North McAllen that 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.980 ravaged El Dorado subdivision It blew every single 00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:32.779 fence that was there and houses, right? So the 00:07:32.779 --> 00:07:34.720 weather is getting crazier and we're not even 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.519 in hurricane season Right. So think about that. 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.060 It's mind boggling what's going on. So we're 00:07:40.060 --> 00:07:43.019 overdue for Hurricane Mula. So going back to 00:07:43.019 --> 00:07:44.720 that, I was sitting there writing the story and 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.139 I was like, you know what? Forget this. Let me 00:07:47.139 --> 00:07:49.579 just create another documentary and see what 00:07:49.579 --> 00:07:51.420 I can do with it. So I started reaching out to 00:07:51.420 --> 00:07:53.329 everybody and it was kind of like. One of those 00:07:53.329 --> 00:07:55.170 things like the day after you're reaching out 00:07:55.170 --> 00:07:57.610 to flood survivors and asking them, hey, can 00:07:57.610 --> 00:07:59.230 I have an interview? Kind of seems like you're 00:07:59.230 --> 00:08:02.129 an asshole. But at the same time, you're creating 00:08:02.129 --> 00:08:05.230 a documentary that documents the feelings of 00:08:05.230 --> 00:08:08.490 people, the raw emotions, because there are a 00:08:08.490 --> 00:08:10.870 lot of people that are affected. So a lot of 00:08:10.870 --> 00:08:13.149 people opened up and said, yeah, you can come 00:08:13.149 --> 00:08:15.490 and film. I'll give you an interview. And I got 00:08:15.490 --> 00:08:17.569 a bunch of people lined up and you'll always 00:08:17.569 --> 00:08:20.209 find like a little gem in something that they 00:08:20.209 --> 00:08:22.509 talk about, right? So I started collecting more 00:08:22.509 --> 00:08:23.990 information and through them, there was like, 00:08:24.149 --> 00:08:25.610 we should talk to this person, you should talk 00:08:25.610 --> 00:08:28.389 to this person. And it led me to a civil engineer, 00:08:28.769 --> 00:08:31.410 a commissioner. And then I started piecing together 00:08:31.410 --> 00:08:34.389 the documentary and I used AI to help me that 00:08:34.389 --> 00:08:37.210 kind of just structure everything. And this is, 00:08:37.250 --> 00:08:40.269 I got the documentary done in 25 days. which 00:08:40.269 --> 00:08:44.730 is pretty impressive, right? But I used AI, a 00:08:44.730 --> 00:08:47.570 lot of it for the research because I can't comb 00:08:47.570 --> 00:08:50.789 through all these documents and studies and theses 00:08:50.789 --> 00:08:54.370 that I was presented with. My mind just breaks 00:08:54.370 --> 00:08:58.809 down after I read like a paragraph. So I started 00:08:58.809 --> 00:09:01.370 doing all this research and I was like, oh shit, 00:09:01.450 --> 00:09:03.809 this is not a story about a flood. Like this 00:09:03.809 --> 00:09:06.490 is something bigger and it's affecting a lot 00:09:06.490 --> 00:09:08.850 of people. So through that, I started finding 00:09:08.850 --> 00:09:11.009 more information and more information. And I 00:09:11.009 --> 00:09:12.990 was just like, this is really going on here and 00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:16.490 nobody's talking about this. So it was disheartening 00:09:16.490 --> 00:09:18.909 and nobody's talking about it. And I don't understand 00:09:18.909 --> 00:09:22.409 why. So it's that's that's where it led me to 00:09:22.409 --> 00:09:24.470 the document and you're saying about the about 00:09:24.470 --> 00:09:26.250 the whole thing that happened at the rock and 00:09:26.250 --> 00:09:28.230 McKellen text about the hailstorm and all that 00:09:28.230 --> 00:09:31.309 stuff that all the winds I know back back in 00:09:31.309 --> 00:09:34.730 in 20. I believe was it before my son was already 00:09:34.730 --> 00:09:39.289 two years old.

All of a sudden, 00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:33.379 like a minute after we got in, the windows start, 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.759 they start bouncing.

Nothing hit their 00:11:32.450 --> 00:11:34.070 house that bad they didn't cut a couple of leakage 00:11:34.070 --> 00:11:38.409 in the roof, but The the aspect of it afterwards 00:11:38.409 --> 00:11:41.049 seeing the community come together and helping 00:11:41.049 --> 00:11:43.470 each other out That was like wow, you know that 00:11:43.470 --> 00:11:45.470 just this little small community, you know And 00:11:45.470 --> 00:11:47.289 then you saw her see red cars and so on so far, 00:11:47.690 --> 00:11:50.230 you know, that's that's stuff that you know when 00:11:50.230 --> 00:11:52.009 you're saying about documentaries when you see 00:11:52.009 --> 00:11:55.210 that you're like I want to want to write about 00:11:55.210 --> 00:11:57.269 this but you're like nah better not cuz yeah 00:11:57.269 --> 00:11:58.669 I don't want to put people through the trauma 00:11:58.669 --> 00:12:00.529 again, you know But what you're doing when you're 00:12:00.529 --> 00:12:02.389 talking about this rainstorm that came in with 00:12:02.389 --> 00:12:04.659 this flood I mean, having these people, what 00:12:04.659 --> 00:12:06.159 was their emotions like when you were doing this 00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.379 with them? They were devastated. One lady I talked 00:12:08.379 --> 00:12:11.679 to, just by happen chance, we were filming on 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.620 the side of the road and she was talking to JV, 00:12:14.700 --> 00:12:16.779 which is a civil engineer that came out on documentary. 00:12:16.940 --> 00:12:19.519 He said, hey, can he talk to you? So we're talking 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:23.340 to each other inside her garage. And I was like, 00:12:23.340 --> 00:12:25.320 hey, can you give me a tour of your house? And 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:26.879 she's like, sure, come on, let's check it out. 00:12:27.179 --> 00:12:31.529 So I asked her, she was... distraught, but she 00:12:31.529 --> 00:12:34.590 was still laughing and talking. So I was like, 00:12:34.870 --> 00:12:37.909 why do you have a smile? Why do you feel like 00:12:37.909 --> 00:12:41.490 you're in chipper spirits? The last flood that 00:12:41.490 --> 00:12:44.350 happened in 2022 is when I lost it. Like I lost 00:12:44.350 --> 00:12:46.529 everything. I didn't buy furniture for 10 months. 00:12:46.850 --> 00:12:49.929 So this time I knew was going to happen. I just 00:12:49.929 --> 00:12:52.389 didn't know when. So it was just a matter of 00:12:52.389 --> 00:12:55.230 time. So she's like after this storm, I'm leaving. 00:12:55.389 --> 00:12:57.129 Like I'm out of here. Like I'm no longer going 00:12:57.129 --> 00:13:00.149 to have this place. Right. So it's a lot of people 00:13:00.149 --> 00:13:02.950 feel forgotten for one. A lot of people feel 00:13:02.950 --> 00:13:05.789 misplaced. And the interesting part part about 00:13:05.789 --> 00:13:10.220 that, too, is it flooded days after. in their 00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:13.460 neighborhood. So she was like, well, if it makes 00:13:13.460 --> 00:13:16.220 sense, it would have flooded that day. But what 00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:19.240 happened is, and I found this out, is that those 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.799 cities over there were using one pump that's 00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.259 already messed up. And the cities that never 00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:26.120 had flooded or the neighborhoods that never flooded 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.500 before are starting to flood because they're 00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:30.860 pumping water out from one neighborhood to the 00:13:30.860 --> 00:13:35.450 next that had never flooded before. So days later, 00:13:35.710 --> 00:13:37.730 I'm not talking about like two, three days, I'm 00:13:37.730 --> 00:13:40.490 talking four days later, they're still probably 00:13:40.490 --> 00:13:44.309 dealing with it right now. This is crazy. Like 00:13:44.309 --> 00:13:46.809 they're still dealing with this. And that stuff 00:13:46.809 --> 00:13:48.549 doesn't go away. It's like going back to what 00:13:48.549 --> 00:13:50.470 you're talking about with flooding. And this 00:13:50.470 --> 00:13:52.690 is what I uncovered about with the documentary 00:13:52.690 --> 00:13:55.330 is all the stuff that I started uncovering from 00:13:55.330 --> 00:13:58.169 the reports. And it's not me saying this. I'm 00:13:58.169 --> 00:14:00.309 just a documentary filmmaker. I'm a peon. I don't 00:14:00.309 --> 00:14:01.730 know any of this stuff. You're following facts 00:14:01.730 --> 00:14:05.110 that have been studied by governments, officials, 00:14:05.370 --> 00:14:07.690 by theses, by people that are way smarter than 00:14:07.690 --> 00:14:10.490 me. Right. They documented that in the Arroyo 00:14:10.490 --> 00:14:12.590 Colorado, the one that we love, that we fish 00:14:12.590 --> 00:14:14.830 out of every single day. Our grandfather's fished 00:14:14.830 --> 00:14:18.200 out of there. 90 mile stretch from Mission all 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.360 the way to Laguna Madre. Every city in between 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.840 they use it as the Arroyo as wastewater. The 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:27.620 only reason it flows is because the city's wastewater. 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.600 So some of that wastewater is untreated. It's 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:32.779 supposed to be treated. Right. Over two million 00:14:32.779 --> 00:14:36.480 gallons of untreated wastewater are dumped into 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.960 that Arroyo Colorado. Wow. So that's just that. 00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:43.679 It's disgusting. So yeah, I find you have to 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.179 have some wastewater that goes somewhere. So 00:14:46.179 --> 00:14:49.320 I'm not naive, I get it fine. But the problem 00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.100 is that what happens is that there's other chemicals 00:14:52.100 --> 00:14:55.200 in there. There's PCBs, there's DDTs, there's 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:57.620 stuff that is banned, pesticides that are still 00:14:57.620 --> 00:14:59.759 being used to this day that are being dumped 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:03.299 in there. And what happens when it floods, that 00:15:03.299 --> 00:15:06.200 rollo colorado comes up and it floods into the 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.759 city. So if you don't know, Let me just give 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.820 you a fact here. The Rio Grande Valley is a floodplain. 00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:15.919 There's 82 ,000 houses and 300 facilities that 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.419 are schools, hospitals, all that stuff, businesses 00:15:18.419 --> 00:15:21.580 that lie within that floodplain. So you're talking 00:15:21.580 --> 00:15:24.700 about 82 ,000 homes, maybe there's one person 00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:27.139 in there, four, six, I don't know, Mexican based, 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.740 probably 12, whatever. But all those people live 00:15:29.740 --> 00:15:33.159 in this area, and when it floods, that wastewater, 00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:36.279 those PCBs, those DDTs, all goes up into the 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:39.769 area. floods their homes, stays in the sheetrock. 00:15:40.049 --> 00:15:42.889 When it dries out and they clean it, it goes 00:15:42.889 --> 00:15:45.190 into the air, it turns into mold, they breathe 00:15:45.190 --> 00:15:49.250 it in. So those trace amounts of all that stuff 00:15:49.250 --> 00:15:51.169 get into your body. If you have a flesh room 00:15:51.169 --> 00:15:54.269 that's open, you can get flesh eating bacteria, 00:15:54.409 --> 00:15:57.490 which has already been documented. So there's 00:15:57.490 --> 00:16:00.090 these things that keep coming up over and over 00:16:00.090 --> 00:16:02.570 and over again. And when you get exposed to these 00:16:02.570 --> 00:16:04.909 things over long periods of times, you develop 00:16:04.909 --> 00:16:07.870 cancer. You develop respiratory disease, heart 00:16:07.870 --> 00:16:10.690 disease, you get asthma. So the Rio Grande Valley 00:16:10.690 --> 00:16:13.230 has one of the highest levels of asthma in children. 00:16:13.870 --> 00:16:17.289 This is documented. They have 30 % higher chance 00:16:17.289 --> 00:16:19.970 of leukemia here in the Rio Grande Valley. They 00:16:19.970 --> 00:16:23.629 have 55 % more higher rates than the entire United 00:16:23.629 --> 00:16:28.559 States for cervical cancer. So putting this together 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:32.240 I'm not a researcher. I'm not a doctor. I'm not 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.679 a scientist But I can put patterns together right 00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.179 like if the flooding keeps happening people get 00:16:38.179 --> 00:16:40.559 exposed It's environmental exposure that people 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:43.259 are getting exposed to right over and over and 00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:45.039 it doesn't happen immediately You've been exposed 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.039 to this your whole life, right? So it builds 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.279 up builds up and people that would never are 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:51.860 super healthy They develop cancer one day and 00:16:51.860 --> 00:16:53.779 they're like, how did I get this? They're talking 00:16:53.779 --> 00:16:57.620 to the doctor is that we had bad luck say right 00:16:57.620 --> 00:17:01.779 no it's not yeah it's just nobody's nobody's 00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:04.119 pointing the to the problem which is the aurora 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.619 colorado which is highly contaminated right and 00:17:06.619 --> 00:17:08.579 the Rio Grande river which is another highly 00:17:08.579 --> 00:17:11.220 contaminated place of course yeah and and i don't 00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:13.220 understand why like nobody wants to talk about 00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:16.700 it and i feel well no i was just going to mention 00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:19.400 too that it's also not a coincidence with that 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:21.140 with all the growth that we've been experiencing 00:17:21.140 --> 00:17:24.069 how many times have we seen like a labor You 00:17:24.069 --> 00:17:25.869 know, that used to be a field where they planted 00:17:25.869 --> 00:17:28.890 corn and other things are now becoming housing, 00:17:28.890 --> 00:17:31.950 you know subdivision So, you know some of those 00:17:31.950 --> 00:17:34.269 chemicals that have never been treated or removed 00:17:34.269 --> 00:17:36.809 from that area They stay in the most state and 00:17:36.809 --> 00:17:40.670 then they just build right over it and all those 00:17:40.670 --> 00:17:42.890 things eventually come Leaching out through the 00:17:42.890 --> 00:17:45.529 ground to read it rains when it's windy. It's 00:17:45.529 --> 00:17:48.150 always it's always windy. It's always hot So 00:17:48.150 --> 00:17:50.329 it's always in the air. So of course, it's going 00:17:50.329 --> 00:17:53.069 to be you know affecting people but again, like 00:17:53.069 --> 00:17:55.539 you say for some reason that's just swept under 00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:57.880 the rug yeah there was a study i wanted to share 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.799 with you all about uh cameron county uh i believe 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.400 they they released and this is in 2023 so it 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:10.279 was recent 2023 uh they released 33 000 pounds 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:14.579 of carcinogens into the air versus uh i think 00:18:14.579 --> 00:18:17.740 it was like 75 000 the year before. So it went 00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:21.220 up 138 percent. So if you ever have a problem 00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:24.279 breathing in Cameron County, there's a reason 00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:27.000 for it because the air is highly polluted. People 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.509 are literally going to suffocate. And I'm not 00:18:29.509 --> 00:18:31.490 I'm not doing this to doom and gloom everybody 00:18:31.490 --> 00:18:33.789 right now because a lot of when I post these 00:18:33.789 --> 00:18:35.390 things people are like well You're just being 00:18:35.390 --> 00:18:37.589 a debbie downer and like why are you even talking 00:18:37.589 --> 00:18:40.549 about this? Like people would rather me not talk 00:18:40.549 --> 00:18:44.950 about this That's just how people are yeah, you 00:18:44.950 --> 00:18:47.369 know people it's disheartening though It is disheartening 00:18:47.369 --> 00:18:50.369 and you'd rather just live in the bliss of ignorance 00:18:50.369 --> 00:18:52.970 But you need to know these things because it 00:18:52.970 --> 00:18:55.549 will land on your doorstep. Well, because I mean 00:18:55.549 --> 00:18:57.470 consider the fact our culture down here when 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:00.339 People start uncovering stuff and it's the truth. 00:19:00.940 --> 00:19:06.140 You always had one person. This guy know he's 00:19:06.140 --> 00:19:09.460 talking about in the in seriousness inside like 00:19:09.460 --> 00:19:11.500 this guy might know something and you know what 00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:13.839 I want. I'm going to tear him down so he can 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:17.140 just shut up about it. And but it's truth that 00:19:17.140 --> 00:19:21.220 we need to know. You know, because we as a as 00:19:21.220 --> 00:19:23.279 a person that lives in the person lives in the 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:26.039 RGV needs to know exactly what are we standing 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:29.109 on? Yeah. I mean, what's What's under the soil 00:19:29.109 --> 00:19:31.529 that we don't know about? Well, too. I mean, 00:19:31.829 --> 00:19:36.589 we're a very health -compromised population. 00:19:37.549 --> 00:19:40.250 How many people in the Valley have diabetes? 00:19:40.890 --> 00:19:44.549 And when you're a diabetic, you have a compromised 00:19:44.549 --> 00:19:50.089 immune system. So if a normal, healthy person 00:19:50.089 --> 00:19:54.369 can get cancer just out of the blue from the 00:19:54.369 --> 00:19:56.589 environment, imagine what's going to happen to 00:19:56.589 --> 00:20:00.779 them. Someone else who has Yeah, when I talked 00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:03.400 to the scientist that was he did the study one 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:05.460 of the studies on the aerobic a lot of like He 00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:08.400 was the guy that did the study He was telling 00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:11.200 me that everybody here has already been exposed 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:13.519 to the chemicals. So you know, it's in your blood 00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:17.509 system at some point The problem is when either 00:20:17.509 --> 00:20:20.970 your immune system goes down and your immunity 00:20:20.970 --> 00:20:23.630 goes down, that chemical can get released. Or 00:20:23.630 --> 00:20:25.549 when you get too old, that wall breaks down and 00:20:25.549 --> 00:20:27.789 it gets released. And then now you have those 00:20:27.789 --> 00:20:29.670 exponential problems that you're going to have 00:20:29.670 --> 00:20:34.329 that can develop into cancer. So whoever is here 00:20:34.329 --> 00:20:37.250 has been exposed to it. My daughter was asking 00:20:37.250 --> 00:20:39.859 me, why am I doing this? And I was like, well, 00:20:39.900 --> 00:20:42.319 she's 14. I was like, well, if I don't do this, 00:20:42.579 --> 00:20:45.440 if I don't talk about this, I can't live with 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.740 myself knowing that if you get cancer one day 00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:51.619 and I stop talking about this, something could 00:20:51.619 --> 00:20:54.799 have happened better. So I was like, I have to 00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:57.359 do something. And I didn't want to be the person 00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:59.880 to find all this information. I mean, it's all 00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:02.980 there. It just takes time for somebody to actually. 00:21:03.309 --> 00:21:05.670 piece it together you know so that one person 00:21:05.670 --> 00:21:07.609 like i said two types of people in the world 00:21:07.609 --> 00:21:09.930 and there's one that says oh well it is what 00:21:09.930 --> 00:21:12.569 it is and the other one goes no i want to know 00:21:12.569 --> 00:21:15.730 why this is happening and that person starts 00:21:15.730 --> 00:21:18.329 digging as far as they can to find and then when 00:21:18.329 --> 00:21:20.390 they do find out that they don't like what they 00:21:20.390 --> 00:21:22.940 find and they have to tell people hey man This 00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:24.740 is what's going on. Yeah. And while the other 00:21:24.740 --> 00:21:26.579 guy's not bad, you don't know nothing, bro. Just 00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:28.000 just leave your life. Yeah, but we're all going 00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.339 to die one day. That's that's the attitude. Yeah, 00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:32.480 you're right. That's the attitude. And it's sad, 00:21:32.619 --> 00:21:35.839 man, because there's so much not just here in 00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:37.859 the RGV, but all anywhere in the state of Texas, 00:21:37.940 --> 00:21:39.980 even outside the state of Texas, the whole USA. 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.559 You know, there's so much chemical broke. I mean, 00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:47.640 we've spilled as humans. I mean, making chemical 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:51.460 for to treat our plants, to fix clothes, shoes, 00:21:51.819 --> 00:21:55.640 caps, anything, even stuff. Everything, even 00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:56.920 to the stuff, the equipment we're using right 00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:59.420 now, it's all chemical. We've got microplastics 00:21:59.420 --> 00:22:01.640 in our blood already. It's all in our blood. 00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:05.200 Exactly. Right now, grow, if I can become a mutant 00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.339 or something, I don't know. I'll grow six fingers 00:22:08.339 --> 00:22:09.240 in this so I can be a better football player 00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:10.119 or something, man. Put yourself on the wall and 00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:13.130 see if you stick to the wall. And I've been told 00:22:13.130 --> 00:22:15.049 that before. It's like, who cares? We're all 00:22:15.049 --> 00:22:17.509 going to die for something. But I think the problem 00:22:17.509 --> 00:22:20.779 with that statement is... there's an elevated 00:22:20.779 --> 00:22:22.599 risk for everybody in the Rio Grande Valley. 00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.660 When you get 30 % more cases of leukemia, 55 00:22:26.660 --> 00:22:31.720 % more cases of cervical cancer, I mean, that's 00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:35.140 high levels. It's not like you get 5 % or 10%. 00:22:35.140 --> 00:22:39.559 You're talking about 55 % increase in cervical 00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:42.519 cancer here in the Rio Grande Valley. We're one 00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:45.460 of the highest rated down here, aren't we, as 00:22:45.460 --> 00:22:50.119 far as that? That's crazy man. It's crazy. And 00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:53.180 I think the also too is people have like maybe 00:22:53.180 --> 00:22:55.720 it's called survivors remorse where they they 00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:57.859 they've gotten cancer or something and they don't 00:22:57.859 --> 00:22:59.880 even want to look at or hear about it anymore. 00:22:59.980 --> 00:23:02.359 Right. Right. Until it affects their kid or something. 00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:04.200 But then even at that point, it's like, no, you'll 00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:06.880 be fine. Just keep going because that is a Mexican 00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:09.160 mentality. You keep going. Right. And I'm not 00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:11.140 naive. I get it. You have to go to work tomorrow. 00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:13.880 I get it. Like you have other things to fucking 00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:16.799 do. Exactly. This cancer is not one of the things 00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:18.579 that's going to I want to be worried about every 00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:21.190 single day. or the Arroyo Colorado and all this 00:23:21.190 --> 00:23:23.430 stuff. Like, I have shit to do, man. Exactly. 00:23:24.230 --> 00:23:28.470 I got bills to pay. I get it. I get it. I think 00:23:28.470 --> 00:23:32.789 this valley deserves to know what's here. Yeah. 00:23:32.789 --> 00:23:34.769 No, it's true. I mean, what you're saying is 00:23:34.769 --> 00:23:37.869 true. This documentary you're working on, should 00:23:37.869 --> 00:23:40.880 you say it won't be available till... After September 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:42.440 September and this is going to the International 00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:44.460 Film Festival that the South Texas International 00:23:44.460 --> 00:23:47.500 Film Festival and also the CINESOL Okay. Alright. 00:23:47.500 --> 00:23:48.980 Alright. Alright. Alright, so it's that that's 00:23:48.980 --> 00:23:52.420 in September and then in December and that's 00:23:52.420 --> 00:23:55.380 why I'm kind of I I was pushing the documentary, 00:23:55.619 --> 00:23:57.680 right? But at some point I was like fuck man. 00:23:57.680 --> 00:23:59.660 I feel like such an asshole Like I'm putting 00:23:59.660 --> 00:24:02.240 these stats and stuff in it. I put the before 00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:05.059 we drown Josh and right documentary. I was like, 00:24:05.059 --> 00:24:13.400 you know So I was like, you know what, let me 00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:16.119 just start sharing the facts. And at that point, 00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:19.579 the documentary became secondary. But it is a 00:24:19.579 --> 00:24:22.759 marketing tool that will reach a different audience, 00:24:22.819 --> 00:24:24.559 because there's something that happens with film. 00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:27.140 Like when you're able to sit down for 40 minutes, 00:24:27.299 --> 00:24:29.660 watch documentary that you didn't know anything 00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:32.099 about, you're forced to sit there and watch it. 00:24:32.099 --> 00:24:33.940 And you're forced to learn. Because I know a 00:24:33.940 --> 00:24:36.180 lot of people who love documentaries. I love 00:24:36.180 --> 00:24:39.539 watching documentaries. Sericolors, but it's 00:24:39.539 --> 00:24:42.440 a documentary. But to learn something. To learn 00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:47.720 something. Baby, don't watch the film, baby. 00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:51.440 Don't watch this episode. All right. Taking notes. 00:24:51.700 --> 00:24:54.220 If you find a leg in the closet, you know what? 00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:59.529 That's mine. That's mine. I want it back. There's 00:24:59.529 --> 00:25:03.069 a leg left on the ground. Door jar baby, door 00:25:03.069 --> 00:25:07.269 jar. No, but it's true man. I mean now growing 00:25:07.269 --> 00:25:10.930 up did you see yourself wanting to do this or 00:25:10.930 --> 00:25:14.509 was there something else in the future? I kind 00:25:14.509 --> 00:25:17.849 of... My job allows me to live like a digital 00:25:17.849 --> 00:25:19.930 life. So I get to work a lot from my computer 00:25:19.930 --> 00:25:21.849 and I get to see my clients every now and then. 00:25:21.849 --> 00:25:24.809 So I work that way. It's allowed me a lot of 00:25:24.809 --> 00:25:27.529 time to research and get into things that I'm 00:25:27.529 --> 00:25:29.910 interested in. The older I get, the now I'm into 00:25:29.910 --> 00:25:32.190 politics and all this stuff. So it's like, ain't 00:25:32.190 --> 00:25:33.769 that weird? That's weird. It's weird, right? 00:25:33.890 --> 00:25:36.329 So weird. It's so weird that you, I mean, you're 00:25:36.329 --> 00:25:37.809 at a young age. I mean, I didn't start getting 00:25:37.809 --> 00:25:39.869 into politics probably like I was in my mid forties. 00:25:39.950 --> 00:25:42.910 I was like, why am I into this crap? I never 00:25:42.910 --> 00:25:49.150 paid attention to it. Oh my god, I go what happened 00:25:49.150 --> 00:25:57.769 today It's weird cuz yeah, cuz it's what he said 00:25:57.769 --> 00:25:59.609 correctly I mean when we're young we're like, 00:25:59.670 --> 00:26:02.670 okay, though. The world is our is our apple We're 00:26:02.670 --> 00:26:05.130 gonna do whatever we want and take take advantage 00:26:05.130 --> 00:26:07.910 of live life full as much time as you think And 00:26:07.910 --> 00:26:09.970 all of a sudden you're getting your 30. I still 00:26:09.970 --> 00:26:11.970 got time. Just have a good time you get into 00:26:11.970 --> 00:26:14.970 your 40s. Okay and start you know concentrating 00:26:14.970 --> 00:26:17.269 on because we're getting to what we want to get 00:26:17.269 --> 00:26:19.029 to you know and then when you're reaching 50 00:26:19.029 --> 00:26:24.069 like i am you're like what am i what have i done 00:26:24.069 --> 00:26:26.890 what's what's going on what am i going to leave 00:26:26.890 --> 00:26:30.089 behind for my kids my nieces my nephews i mean 00:26:30.089 --> 00:26:34.029 them what bro whoa oh my god my life went by 00:26:34.029 --> 00:26:36.829 me like that i can do shit is scary how fast 00:26:36.829 --> 00:26:40.410 time passes oh it flies by it flies by super 00:26:40.410 --> 00:26:44.680 fast scary so i mean but And that is so in your 00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:46.420 younger days, like I said, going back to when 00:26:46.420 --> 00:26:48.900 you when you grew up and all that, did you see 00:26:48.900 --> 00:26:51.480 yourself doing this? No, I really didn't know 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.640 what I was going to do. I kind of I worked at 00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:55.359 Dairy Queen. My dad owns Dairy Queen and Mercedes. 00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:57.220 I grew up. Well, guess what? We're going to the 00:26:57.220 --> 00:27:00.519 market. Nine piece chicken basket for you guys. 00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:06.440 Yes. I'll have the dude. I bet you will. Shut 00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:10.460 up, dude. Don't talk about the train you're talking 00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:13.430 about with somebody. Anyway. back to the podcast 00:27:13.430 --> 00:27:16.210 here. Yeah, so yeah, I grew up there. And I remember 00:27:16.210 --> 00:27:19.230 my dad telling me one day that I would never 00:27:19.230 --> 00:27:21.230 make more money than I would there. And I was 00:27:21.230 --> 00:27:24.170 like, Oh, okay. Then I shortly left after that. 00:27:24.349 --> 00:27:26.710 I was like, I'm not rebellious. Right, right, 00:27:26.750 --> 00:27:28.670 right. I had to go and see things. I remember 00:27:28.670 --> 00:27:30.589 I would I would work the window every single 00:27:30.589 --> 00:27:32.250 day. And I was like, man, I've never had a lunch 00:27:32.250 --> 00:27:34.769 break. like anywhere else. What is that like? 00:27:34.950 --> 00:27:37.049 But now I eat in my fucking car on the way to 00:27:37.049 --> 00:27:38.670 the next place. I don't know what's what's the 00:27:38.670 --> 00:27:43.849 worst, but it's a lot of freedom. It's a lot 00:27:43.849 --> 00:27:46.309 of me. And I talked to I was kind of burdened 00:27:46.309 --> 00:27:48.250 with this because I was like, I didn't want to 00:27:48.250 --> 00:27:50.069 learn all this information. I would have been 00:27:50.069 --> 00:27:52.549 better naive about this. Right. Like living my 00:27:52.549 --> 00:27:54.970 own life, whatever. Not even worried about this. 00:27:54.970 --> 00:27:56.890 Right. But it's kind of a privilege to be able 00:27:56.890 --> 00:27:59.430 to sit and think with information that you can 00:27:59.430 --> 00:28:02.799 comb through and learn and observe. and kind 00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:04.940 of piece together the things that a lot of people 00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:07.089 just don't have time for. because everybody's 00:28:07.089 --> 00:28:09.849 busy. So with AI, it's allowed me to comb through 00:28:09.849 --> 00:28:11.670 a lot of these things and think about it a little 00:28:11.670 --> 00:28:14.109 bit deeper than I would regularly just on face 00:28:14.109 --> 00:28:16.650 value, like a headline or something like that. 00:28:17.130 --> 00:28:19.269 So it is, is it a privilege? And I understand, 00:28:19.269 --> 00:28:21.349 like it's a, it's a, it's a lot of information. 00:28:21.390 --> 00:28:24.069 I can distill it down into how I can understand 00:28:24.069 --> 00:28:26.390 it. Right. And a lot of people are like me would 00:28:26.390 --> 00:28:28.730 learn in headlines, stuff like that. Yeah. And 00:28:28.730 --> 00:28:31.049 I've seen you on other podcasts before I've seen 00:28:31.049 --> 00:28:33.349 a couple of podcasts who were before ours. And 00:28:33.349 --> 00:28:34.910 I've seen some of the interviewers, man, they're 00:28:34.910 --> 00:28:39.460 like, I'm gonna throw myself into the bus. I 00:28:39.460 --> 00:28:43.940 don't research shit. I'm just going by the fly. 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.019 Really? Look who's talking now. Really? Did you 00:28:48.019 --> 00:28:52.500 study on...

I want to hear, I want 00:29:16.650 --> 00:29:19.150 to, because I like to sponge off of stuff like 00:29:19.150 --> 00:29:21.990 this, man, because it's intriguing. It's like 00:29:21.990 --> 00:29:24.789 watching a documentary live, you know, and that's 00:29:24.789 --> 00:29:27.029 what the beautiful part about our podcast is, 00:29:27.029 --> 00:29:29.250 everybody that comes in here, we learn a lot 00:29:29.250 --> 00:29:31.789 from them, you know, it's a true story about 00:29:31.789 --> 00:29:33.569 them and what they're doing, what inspires them 00:29:33.569 --> 00:29:35.230 to do what they want to do. Well, this is the 00:29:35.230 --> 00:29:38.990 Valley, man. It's our home. Like, this is my 00:29:38.990 --> 00:29:41.230 family's here, my friends are here, my new friends 00:29:41.230 --> 00:29:43.589 are here. So it's like, if people... You got 00:29:43.589 --> 00:29:46.490 one of your friends, buddy. If people... Well, 00:29:46.690 --> 00:29:48.970 I work with a non -profit, so I work with a... 00:29:48.970 --> 00:29:52.089 Never mind, no longer friends. I need some volunteers, 00:29:52.589 --> 00:29:57.789 guys. Give your leg! Give your leg! Wait, remember 00:29:57.789 --> 00:30:01.710 Dairy Queen. Oh, Dairy Queen. We will volunteer. 00:30:03.369 --> 00:30:05.849 So I work with the non -profit Fundación Amor 00:30:05.849 --> 00:30:09.089 Infinito and we serve the people that are in 00:30:09.089 --> 00:30:12.150 the colonias. There's 500 ,000 people that live 00:30:12.150 --> 00:30:15.710 on the Texas -Mexico border across that. So 500 00:30:15.710 --> 00:30:19.029 ,000. There's 150 ,000 people that live just 00:30:19.029 --> 00:30:23.089 in Hidalgo County. So 150 ,000 people live in 00:30:23.089 --> 00:30:27.099 colonias. that are directly in Hidalgo County. 00:30:27.339 --> 00:30:29.200 Those are the people that we serve. And I was 00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:32.720 kind of like, if those people start dying off, 00:30:33.059 --> 00:30:36.299 who are we gonna help? So I felt compelled to 00:30:36.299 --> 00:30:38.940 tell this stuff, to talk about it. And I get 00:30:38.940 --> 00:30:41.259 pushback from a lot of people that I shouldn't 00:30:41.259 --> 00:30:46.970 be talking about this, but I mean... That should 00:30:46.970 --> 00:30:49.049 strengthen you even more because like why do 00:30:49.049 --> 00:30:51.509 you not want me to talk about this right? What 00:30:51.509 --> 00:30:54.630 are you afraid of? Because this is obviously 00:30:54.630 --> 00:30:56.930 an important situation and it needs to be talked 00:30:56.930 --> 00:30:59.309 about I mean if we're talking about People's 00:30:59.309 --> 00:31:02.130 health and people should know whether they decide 00:31:02.130 --> 00:31:03.849 to bury their head in the center. Well, that's 00:31:03.849 --> 00:31:09.450 their problem Let me ask you guys this do you 00:31:09.450 --> 00:31:12.220 think That that there'll be an effect out of 00:31:12.220 --> 00:31:15.059 this like this campaigning that i'm doing Well, 00:31:15.099 --> 00:31:17.279 yes what you have right now i'm gonna post this 00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:20.299 up so you guys can see this you have a sign in 00:31:20.299 --> 00:31:22.400 uh sign a petition going on right now There's 00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:24.880 a qr code there. You want to this is uh bringing 00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:27.619 This is a human rights are being violated in 00:31:27.619 --> 00:31:31.079 the rgb in the real grandi valley Would you mind 00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:33.140 if I explain that? Yeah, go ahead, go ahead, 00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:35.880 go ahead. So, during the documentary, I thought 00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:38.440 it was just now I'm exposing the Arroyo Colorado 00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:40.900 and the Rio Grande River and all the pollutants. 00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:43.740 And then I started, a friend of mine that would 00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:46.420 be working on a book together about this specific 00:31:46.420 --> 00:31:49.740 thing, his students made a documentary off it. 00:31:49.779 --> 00:31:51.579 Oh, wow. And they were talking about how the 00:31:51.579 --> 00:31:54.539 human rights were being violated. So back in 00:31:54.539 --> 00:31:57.079 the 90s in Brownsville, there was a, I think 00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:01.700 it's called a... I forget what it is. It's babies 00:32:01.700 --> 00:32:03.640 were being born without parts of their brain 00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:06.720 and their skull. So this is from the contamination, 00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:10.099 environmental toxins and all that stuff. So that 00:32:10.099 --> 00:32:13.240 happened a lot in the 90s. And there you go, 00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:15.920 definitely. So that happened and his kids made 00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:18.140 a documentary off it and he was talking about, 00:32:18.220 --> 00:32:20.400 they were talking about how the human rights 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:22.779 are being violated. And I was like, well, let 00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:26.119 me see if this qualifies for having your human 00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:29.079 rights violated. And indeed, the way the United 00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:32.400 Nation has their criteria, which is the rights 00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:34.839 to clean, healthy and sustainable environment. 00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:37.900 the right to safe and clean drinking water, the 00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:40.519 right to sanitation, the right to health, the 00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:42.500 right to adequate housing and infrastructure, 00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.400 the right to non -discriminatory and environmental 00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:49.349 justice. The Rio Grande Valley hits every single 00:32:49.349 --> 00:32:52.470 one of those. So that means 1 .4 million people 00:32:52.470 --> 00:32:54.430 in the Rio Grande Valley are having their human 00:32:54.430 --> 00:32:56.809 rights violated right now. And I don't say that 00:32:56.809 --> 00:32:58.390 lightly. I'm not the guy that's like, hey, your 00:32:58.390 --> 00:33:01.069 human rights are being violated. I'm not that 00:33:01.069 --> 00:33:03.670 dude, trust me. But he was the guy standing outside 00:33:03.670 --> 00:33:06.910 with a sign. That's a big statement. Yeah, it 00:33:06.910 --> 00:33:10.910 is. So I came across this and everything goes 00:33:10.910 --> 00:33:14.430 back. to having our human rights violated. And 00:33:14.430 --> 00:33:16.349 that's why I think is like, is anything even 00:33:16.349 --> 00:33:18.950 gonna happen from this? Because that's a big 00:33:18.950 --> 00:33:21.950 deal. Like it's a big, huge undertaking. You 00:33:21.950 --> 00:33:24.809 want to help 1 .4 million people in the Rio Grande 00:33:24.809 --> 00:33:28.349 Valley is like, yeah, whatever, dude. Like, does 00:33:28.349 --> 00:33:30.650 the government even care enough? Do the city 00:33:30.650 --> 00:33:33.109 people even care enough? Like, I don't know. 00:33:33.190 --> 00:33:35.190 And that's why I have a thousand signatures and 00:33:35.190 --> 00:33:37.619 I feel like... It's just, okay, 1 ,000 signatures. 00:33:38.220 --> 00:33:40.339 There should be 85 ,000 signatures. We might 00:33:40.339 --> 00:33:44.220 blink at it. Yeah, I got you. 82 ,000 people 00:33:44.220 --> 00:33:47.779 or 83 ,000 people and 300 facilities are within 00:33:47.779 --> 00:33:50.000 the floodplain. There should be that many signatures 00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:51.819 on this thing because there's the one that are 00:33:51.819 --> 00:33:54.180 going to get affected over and over again. Exactly. 00:33:54.380 --> 00:33:56.460 So if that many signatures are on there, then 00:33:56.460 --> 00:33:59.039 that's going to go to lawmakers and say 85 ,000 00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:02.289 people are saying we need help. So at that point, 00:34:02.289 --> 00:34:04.470 I feel that can't be ignored but at a thousand 00:34:04.470 --> 00:34:06.650 it's like you're a concerned citizen You have 00:34:06.650 --> 00:34:08.949 a thousand people that are concerned. Yeah, I 00:34:08.949 --> 00:34:12.170 right. Okay. Yeah So it's like I feel like I've 00:34:12.170 --> 00:34:14.690 hit a brick wall and I know with the campaigning 00:34:14.690 --> 00:34:17.150 and with your all's help to help push us this 00:34:17.150 --> 00:34:20.750 Yeah campaign, but I just feel I'm getting a 00:34:20.750 --> 00:34:22.730 little bit more I'm losing faith every single 00:34:22.730 --> 00:34:25.150 day that it's not isn't nothing's gonna happen 00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:27.500 It's just going to be forgotten, and people are 00:34:27.500 --> 00:34:29.800 going to go. You need to first break through 00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:32.559 people's apathy. I mean, the people that have 00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:35.460 been hit the hardest are the ones that you really 00:34:35.460 --> 00:34:38.599 do have to convince. Because how many times does 00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:42.380 a house have to be flooded from a storm that 00:34:42.380 --> 00:34:45.280 comes through once they're twice a year, or a 00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:49.780 decade, or whatever? Right. And you get a little 00:34:49.780 --> 00:34:52.380 bit of help here, a little bit of help there, 00:34:52.579 --> 00:34:55.539 but it'll just happen again. Instead of fixing 00:34:55.539 --> 00:34:58.420 the actual problem, what the actual problem is, 00:34:58.820 --> 00:35:02.559 you're just giving a little bandage. At some 00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:05.099 point, you're just like, okay, fine, whatever. 00:35:06.019 --> 00:35:09.719 As long as I can get back to where... I was you 00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:11.719 know when this first started right as fast as 00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:14.760 possible as fast as possible That's that's that's 00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:16.820 a type of apathy that people have it's like. 00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:19.179 I don't want it to get better I just wanted to 00:35:19.179 --> 00:35:21.719 get back to where it was before yeah as fast 00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:24.280 as possible Plus you got the you got the older 00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:27.619 generation. This is not post But so what happened? 00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:29.699 Yeah, that's a cow. Oh, you know it's a part 00:35:29.699 --> 00:35:32.159 of that most That's another you have to give 00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:34.880 you is like get past all of that because yeah, 00:35:34.900 --> 00:35:37.840 it'll that's another thing like since we're kids 00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.639 even you know me and me and ooh we can tell you 00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:42.900 stories about you know our parents you know did 00:35:42.900 --> 00:35:44.800 they want us to go to college you know did they 00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:47.800 want us to be engineers or no we just stay here 00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:50.519 in the valley you know work at a lumber mill 00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:54.469 or you know Find some job working at Home Depot 00:35:54.469 --> 00:35:58.230 or something. That's fine. Don't set your expectations 00:35:58.230 --> 00:36:02.110 too high. That's in the culture, too. You've 00:36:02.110 --> 00:36:05.010 got to work through that. You have to bust out 00:36:05.010 --> 00:36:08.170 of that stereotype, is what you're trying to 00:36:08.170 --> 00:36:11.750 say. And it's true. Some of the ones that need 00:36:11.750 --> 00:36:13.989 to sign this petition are the ones that have 00:36:13.989 --> 00:36:16.269 been affected by it the most. They go out there, 00:36:16.309 --> 00:36:17.769 they put the name on it, but like I said, we 00:36:17.769 --> 00:36:20.260 always have that one... Purchasing the family 00:36:20.260 --> 00:36:22.420 or that one person in that house. Oh, no me pa 00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:25.559 que que van a hacer nada Yeah, and then that 00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:27.559 gets imprinted to the people that want to sign 00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:29.360 and they well, maybe they're right. They're not 00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:32.219 gonna do nothing Yeah, but until they actually 00:36:32.219 --> 00:36:34.659 step out of the shadows and say you know what? 00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:38.840 Let's try to move on this then in one voice exactly. 00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:40.800 You'll get that snowball effect You know and 00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:43.920 suddenly it gets so big these got these politicians 00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:45.659 wherever they're in charge of that because okay 00:36:45.659 --> 00:36:49.940 we need to listen because you know Elections 00:36:49.940 --> 00:36:52.659 next month, you know? I think that's where you 00:36:52.659 --> 00:36:53.880 have to hit them for the hardest right there, 00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:57.500 Josh. Election day. With mentors. Would you like 00:36:57.500 --> 00:37:01.239 to sign a petition? Future mayor? Well, even 00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:03.340 then, even then, I mean, they're going to have 00:37:03.340 --> 00:37:05.460 their own, you know, they, oh, well, I'd rather 00:37:05.460 --> 00:37:08.320 focus on border security because that's more 00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:10.219 important because God knows, you know, we got 00:37:10.219 --> 00:37:12.800 a, you know, a freight train, a Coke running 00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:15.860 through here every day. I think at this point, 00:37:15.980 --> 00:37:18.340 the cocaine is a lot safer than what's happening. 00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:22.840 It's all natural in this. And it's delicious. 00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:26.539 Somebody's going to be watching this podcast. 00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:45.219 No, but it's the truth man. All this stuff that 00:37:45.219 --> 00:37:47.599 happens, and this happened in our backyard. There's 00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:52.019 something as being a resident of the RG for so 00:37:52.019 --> 00:37:56.059 many years, like Chu here, I'm pretty sure yourself 00:37:56.059 --> 00:37:59.599 also, seeing that happen, now that you're trying 00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.420 to stand up and say, you know what? Like I said, 00:38:01.420 --> 00:38:03.840 you get older, you start noticing more stuff 00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:05.559 that you didn't realize when we were younger. 00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:08.059 When we were younger, we had more energy to do 00:38:08.059 --> 00:38:10.699 it. We were pushing it like crazy, but now that 00:38:10.699 --> 00:38:13.119 we're older, we're like, dude. This is something 00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:15.039 we need to approach. This is something we need 00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:17.360 to stand up and say, hey, this is what's going 00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:21.000 on. What are we gonna do about this? The older 00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:25.400 generation is slowly flaring out a little bit. 00:38:25.780 --> 00:38:30.440 Now you got the generation X coming up and they're 00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:33.880 like, hey man, we gotta fix this shit. It's gotta 00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:36.280 get done. We're really exposed to it. Our children 00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:38.659 that are alive now are having exposure to it. 00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:42.449 So it's not for... It's for our children's children. 00:38:42.630 --> 00:38:44.690 Yeah. And their children. Exactly. So if we clean 00:38:44.690 --> 00:38:47.550 it up now, it'll take 10 to 15 years. Like that's 00:38:47.550 --> 00:38:49.489 that's how long it'll take to clean this up. 00:38:49.730 --> 00:38:52.849 But it has to be done now because then it will 00:38:52.849 --> 00:38:55.690 start now. And think about this, too, is that 00:38:55.690 --> 00:38:59.349 McAllen is set. The Rio Grande Valley is set 00:38:59.349 --> 00:39:02.449 to double their population by 2040. So you're 00:39:02.449 --> 00:39:04.449 talking about one point four million people. 00:39:04.469 --> 00:39:06.329 There's going to be a lot more people that are 00:39:06.329 --> 00:39:07.650 going to be here in the Rio Grande Valley. Yeah. 00:39:07.710 --> 00:39:09.389 And there's going to be a lot more sick people. 00:39:09.530 --> 00:39:12.369 Yep. So if this thing doesn't get fixed now, 00:39:12.590 --> 00:39:15.210 or we just even start talking about it at a grander 00:39:15.210 --> 00:39:17.590 level, you're gonna have so many sick people 00:39:17.590 --> 00:39:19.429 here. Those rates that I was talking about, 55 00:39:19.429 --> 00:39:22.449 % cervical cancer, 30 % leukemia, those numbers 00:39:22.449 --> 00:39:25.730 are gonna shoot up even more. And you say those 00:39:25.730 --> 00:39:29.269 numbers, and this is me talking conspiracy, and 00:39:29.269 --> 00:39:32.300 you go, consider the fact, I mean... Being part 00:39:32.300 --> 00:39:34.380 of the medical field or being the medical board 00:39:34.380 --> 00:39:36.380 you go shit. We got that We got to build another 00:39:36.380 --> 00:39:38.219 hospital and we're gonna make some more money 00:39:38.219 --> 00:39:40.139 the more people that get sick the more money 00:39:40.139 --> 00:39:43.159 we're gonna get How many hospitals have been 00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:45.139 popping up here left and right?

But when this... when you release this 00:43:16.670 --> 00:43:19.050 bad boy finally to the public now that it's already 00:43:19.050 --> 00:43:21.150 said and done and everything and people are watching 00:43:21.150 --> 00:43:23.949 it because i know you have to be there to watch 00:43:23.949 --> 00:43:25.809 it when it's being released and people are watching 00:43:25.809 --> 00:43:29.949 it i still remember that that that collapse it 00:43:29.949 --> 00:43:34.230 was it was crazy it was crazy uh and uh those 00:43:34.230 --> 00:43:37.050 people that were killed on that accident people 00:43:37.050 --> 00:43:40.289 that that almost fell over themselves and were 00:43:40.289 --> 00:43:43.119 able to survive that accident when you're in 00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:45.699 the in the setup showing the movie off and the 00:43:45.699 --> 00:43:48.019 people that are there watching do you get a lot 00:43:48.019 --> 00:43:49.739 of emotional reactions when they're watching 00:43:49.739 --> 00:43:53.860 this i mean seeing that what seeing that actually 00:43:53.860 --> 00:43:56.969 happened Right in front of you. Yeah, what what 00:43:56.969 --> 00:43:58.570 is what's going through your mind when that's 00:43:58.570 --> 00:44:02.750 me? It's a surreal thing because I Got to meet 00:44:02.750 --> 00:44:04.590 a lot of the people over the two years that I 00:44:04.590 --> 00:44:06.969 was studying in working on this project So a 00:44:06.969 --> 00:44:09.489 lot of people I got to meet and know a lot about 00:44:09.489 --> 00:44:11.510 their lives and when they actually see it for 00:44:11.510 --> 00:44:14.070 the first time They see themselves on the screen 00:44:14.070 --> 00:44:15.989 or something like that. It's it's it's very emotional 00:44:15.989 --> 00:44:19.610 thing It's a it's a weird feeling to be able 00:44:19.610 --> 00:44:24.000 to present your work to people that lived through 00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:26.800 that thing. That's crazy. It's a very weird thing. 00:44:26.920 --> 00:44:29.500 But at the same time, I've always gotten the 00:44:29.500 --> 00:44:31.510 same things that you did a great job. Thank you 00:44:31.510 --> 00:44:33.449 for telling my story. Thank you for telling our 00:44:33.449 --> 00:44:36.849 story. Rob was the main guy. Rob told that story 00:44:36.849 --> 00:44:40.369 so impeccably well. That's why I feel like it 00:44:40.369 --> 00:44:43.110 was a story. It's not because of the filmmaking 00:44:43.110 --> 00:44:45.349 or the videography or anything like that that 00:44:45.349 --> 00:44:47.630 won these awards. It was literally because of 00:44:47.630 --> 00:44:49.389 the story, the storytelling that he was able 00:44:49.389 --> 00:44:52.769 to tell the story so well, it compelled the audience 00:44:52.769 --> 00:44:54.989 to come along for the journey. And it was an 00:44:54.989 --> 00:44:57.269 hour and 15 minutes. It feels like you're watching 00:44:57.269 --> 00:44:59.489 something for 30 minutes. That's how good the 00:44:59.489 --> 00:45:01.969 storytelling is. It condenses it down in your 00:45:01.969 --> 00:45:04.070 mind like it's 30 minute long, but it's actually 00:45:04.070 --> 00:45:07.429 an hour 15 So it's it's a it's a it was a very 00:45:07.429 --> 00:45:10.590 special story that a lot of people had Questions 00:45:10.590 --> 00:45:13.789 to that finally got answers good 20 years later. 00:45:13.789 --> 00:45:16.769 Yes Yeah, and the reason I bring that up is because 00:45:16.769 --> 00:45:19.289 you see the reports on TV all this happened There 00:45:19.289 --> 00:45:22.150 was a loose the cement way was loose and they 00:45:22.150 --> 00:45:24.789 collapsed I was saying it was a tugboat coming 00:45:24.789 --> 00:45:27.750 in and hit it nicked it knocked it down I mean 00:45:27.750 --> 00:45:32.800 he was drunk this and that What happened? What 00:45:32.800 --> 00:45:35.539 exactly happened? And there's so many stories. 00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:44.079 It wasn't that. You know, it's something that 00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:48.139 was emotional for the whole RGB when that happened. 00:45:48.519 --> 00:45:51.719 It was a scary thought. It was a scary moment. 00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:53.960 Well, when it happened too, you got to remember 00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:58.659 when it happened is just after the The 9 -11 00:45:58.659 --> 00:46:02.139 attacks. Three hours after 9 -11. That's also 00:46:02.139 --> 00:46:03.800 something else that kind of scares you a little, 00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:06.420 but you're like, shit. They just knocked down 00:46:06.420 --> 00:46:08.820 the bridge. There were still people, too, when 00:46:08.820 --> 00:46:12.219 we were filming at that... They had gotten attacked 00:46:12.219 --> 00:46:14.420 by 9 -11 like it was they thought that it was 00:46:14.420 --> 00:46:17.639 terrorists. Yes No, this is that's not how it 00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:20.280 happened. Yeah No, and I don't want to ask how 00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:21.659 happy because I want to see this.

No, so I mean and I'll even 00:47:12.500 --> 00:47:14.920 say right now before my wife and our mayor we 00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:16.760 would go to Corpus Christi a lot and there's 00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:19.659 a certain park there on Shoreline Drive that 00:47:19.659 --> 00:47:21.780 they have there and have a Pier there we can 00:47:21.780 --> 00:47:23.679 go fishing we're coming down there and our bikes 00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:26.400 coming down this long hill, you know, like nothing 00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:32.500 right and No, not even that was later No, we're 00:47:32.500 --> 00:47:34.039 coming on the hill and we did the whole ride 00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:36.710 we were coming back And when we were coming back, 00:47:36.929 --> 00:47:39.409 we stopped in that park, and my wife goes, how 00:47:39.409 --> 00:47:41.750 do they put that Virgin Mary out there?

Huge, in the middle of the water. 00:47:56.489 --> 00:47:58.429 I'm like, what? And I saw people falling to their 00:47:58.429 --> 00:48:01.050 knees, and they were probably like, this is weird, 00:48:01.170 --> 00:48:04.940 what's going on? You know, I thought nothing 00:48:04.940 --> 00:48:06.659 about it. Okay, there's probably somebody showing 00:48:06.659 --> 00:48:10.239 Someone shooting an image up there. Come on. 00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:17.579 This was back in shit 2000 not even 90 798 we 00:48:17.579 --> 00:48:19.780 didn't have that technology yet. At least I didn't 00:48:19.780 --> 00:48:23.760 think we did right but see that I was like That's 00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:25.719 weird. Never thought about it. So we went about 00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:29.360 the day then we turned back to look Wow God gone 00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:34.039 Never talked about it till right now. Wow. And 00:48:34.039 --> 00:48:35.380 then when you say something spiritual like that 00:48:35.380 --> 00:48:37.639 is like I believe there's stuff being as far 00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:41.159 as like that region area. It's crazy. It's crazy 00:48:41.159 --> 00:48:44.340 man. If you like you know what Josh was saying 00:48:44.340 --> 00:48:46.940 about how we haven't had a hurricane. You know 00:48:46.940 --> 00:48:48.940 my mom was always saying that we are blessed. 00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:52.199 We are blessed that you know. It always, you 00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:54.760 know, we've had hurricanes that swing just to 00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:57.980 the, just to the south, just to the north. It 00:48:57.980 --> 00:49:00.380 just barely misses us. And it, you know, that's 00:49:00.380 --> 00:49:02.719 got to be some kind of, that's going to be some 00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:05.000 kind of some, some, somebody's watching out for 00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:06.500 us. No kidding you, no kidding. We're grateful 00:49:06.500 --> 00:49:08.019 for it. Well, it's crazy because we just got 00:49:08.019 --> 00:49:10.800 that March 27th flood. Then last week the hail 00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:13.659 over there, horrible rain. This week. I think 00:49:13.659 --> 00:49:15.679 tomorrow's supposed to be the hottest part in 00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:17.519 Texas or something like that. There's something 00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:21.019 going on. I'm not a whatever, conspiracy theorist, 00:49:21.019 --> 00:49:23.500 but I mean, something's going on. I'm not throwing 00:49:23.500 --> 00:49:27.519 names on there, Ivan. You and your damn rockets! 00:49:28.539 --> 00:49:31.159 No, but... And that's another thing too. We're 00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:33.780 talking about pollution. Yeah. So we're supposed 00:49:33.780 --> 00:49:36.579 to get this water from Mexico from the 1944 tree 00:49:36.579 --> 00:49:38.820 that they owe us. So Mexico is going to release 00:49:38.820 --> 00:49:40.860 that. Where is it coming from? Where the hell 00:49:40.860 --> 00:49:43.420 is that coming from? polluted rivers that are 00:49:43.420 --> 00:49:48.639 in Mexico. Every angle we're getting bombarded 00:49:48.639 --> 00:49:51.059 with pollution. I mean, it's just a matter of 00:49:51.059 --> 00:49:53.599 time. And I hate to say this because I was I 00:49:53.599 --> 00:49:59.119 was in Harlingen at a city meeting and there 00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:01.039 was a bunch of kids that they were they're getting 00:50:01.039 --> 00:50:03.739 awards for their their swimming team and their 00:50:03.739 --> 00:50:05.619 volleyball. Right. Stuff like that. And they're 00:50:05.619 --> 00:50:07.619 all taking pictures with the mayor and everybody. 00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:10.079 I was just looking at them. I was like, man, 00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:11.960 they don't even know what like what's going on. 00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:16.960 like it's so saddening to me like I see big groups 00:50:16.960 --> 00:50:19.900 of people as like if they only knew like what 00:50:19.900 --> 00:50:23.500 is really going on here like it's saddened because 00:50:23.500 --> 00:50:25.380 they're having the time of the lives they're 00:50:25.380 --> 00:50:28.420 celebrating it's all publicity bro it's it's 00:50:28.420 --> 00:50:31.000 all publicity and being the in the in the eye 00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:33.059 of of the public all they're doing a nice thing 00:50:33.059 --> 00:50:35.559 there all they did this I don't doubt that they're 00:50:35.559 --> 00:50:38.139 doing good things for the community but yeah 00:50:38.139 --> 00:50:39.980 the bigger thing the bigger picture like what 00:50:39.980 --> 00:50:42.550 you're saying you know come on How long has it 00:50:42.550 --> 00:50:45.369 been since the levees have been repaired? Those 00:50:45.369 --> 00:50:49.829 things are not going to hold up. It's like building 00:50:49.829 --> 00:50:52.130 a sandcastle. It's only going to work for about 00:50:52.130 --> 00:50:53.849 a couple of minutes after a while. It's going 00:50:53.849 --> 00:50:55.429 to tumble and go away and it's going to overflow. 00:50:55.889 --> 00:50:58.050 What always happens whenever there's a storm 00:50:58.050 --> 00:51:00.489 or there's flooding or anything, oh the next 00:51:00.489 --> 00:51:02.760 time we'll be ready. We'll be ready. What do 00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:05.500 they do? Oh, they move some papers around. They 00:51:05.500 --> 00:51:07.980 move some stuff around and then everything stops. 00:51:08.019 --> 00:51:10.679 Yeah, exactly. Well, when like you can drive 00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:13.980 by any canal, any canal, what do you see? It's 00:51:13.980 --> 00:51:17.199 full of it's full of Garbage it's full of plants 00:51:17.199 --> 00:51:19.559 and materials. Oh, yeah, those are those will 00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:21.340 be those are being maintained. Those are being 00:51:21.340 --> 00:51:24.239 made bullshit Yeah, and the people do have to 00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:26.179 do their part because there is a huge problem 00:51:26.179 --> 00:51:29.139 with people just dumping stuff garbage People 00:51:29.139 --> 00:51:32.019 are responsible. It's not it's not just cities 00:51:32.019 --> 00:51:35.079 or what the storms like that Everybody has to 00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:37.260 do their part because if you don't do it and 00:51:37.260 --> 00:51:39.679 nobody's gonna do it right it starts at the top 00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:42.239 if you would actually give people a place to 00:51:42.750 --> 00:51:46.090 Throw their mattresses or their tires, you know 00:51:46.090 --> 00:51:48.250 without charging them, you know an arm and a 00:51:48.250 --> 00:51:50.809 leg Yeah, then they they would you know, nobody 00:51:50.809 --> 00:51:53.690 wants that jump that jump just everywhere Lord 00:51:53.690 --> 00:51:56.050 knows we have the Mount Mount garbage land of 00:51:56.050 --> 00:51:58.610 Donna over here That's about least what 70 80 00:51:58.610 --> 00:52:01.690 feet high in the air, dude. Come on, bro You 00:52:01.690 --> 00:52:03.409 know, you know that they're starting to sell 00:52:03.409 --> 00:52:06.010 the land around that for housing. That's ridiculous 00:52:06.010 --> 00:52:09.349 That's ridiculous with how polluted the ground 00:52:09.349 --> 00:52:12.000 is around there well that that brings up the 00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:18.940 the about the donna lake so there's a study just 00:52:18.940 --> 00:52:29.139 don't drink the water or eat the fish We got 00:52:29.139 --> 00:52:33.380 a buddy who lives right next to Donna Lane. He's 00:52:33.380 --> 00:52:39.659 fine, for the most part. There was a study done 00:52:39.659 --> 00:52:42.199 by Texas A &M that they found in the drinking 00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:45.900 water in Alamo and Progresso that they found 00:52:45.900 --> 00:52:48.559 in 100 % of all the studies that they did, all 00:52:48.559 --> 00:52:50.559 the samples that they found, they found lead, 00:52:50.739 --> 00:52:54.940 arsenic, in all of them. So this is not like 00:52:54.940 --> 00:53:01.429 little levels. By bottle water people. So it's 00:53:01.429 --> 00:53:05.230 something that Texas A &M, these Baylor University, 00:53:05.349 --> 00:53:07.429 these people are doing studies off of something 00:53:07.429 --> 00:53:11.389 that's going on here. It's a big deal. It's also 00:53:11.389 --> 00:53:15.070 UTRGV. We're in an environment that is highly 00:53:15.070 --> 00:53:18.369 polluted that something needs to be done. It 00:53:18.369 --> 00:53:21.130 just needs to be done at this point. Something 00:53:21.130 --> 00:53:24.610 has to happen. It's true because we need to clean 00:53:24.610 --> 00:53:27.260 it up. What do we use to, you think I'm gonna 00:53:27.260 --> 00:53:29.780 go out and buy a package of bottled water to 00:53:29.780 --> 00:53:32.519 water my tomatoes or water my corn or whatever. 00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:35.500 Or to take a bath or to whitewash your car. Yeah 00:53:35.500 --> 00:53:38.139 man, this is stuff that we all literally, water 00:53:38.139 --> 00:53:40.179 from the faucet, we wash our dishes with it. 00:53:40.300 --> 00:53:41.519 I mean, considering the fact we're already eating 00:53:41.519 --> 00:53:43.639 soap, doesn't mean it's gonna take everything 00:53:43.639 --> 00:53:45.739 off. It's not gonna wash lead off. It's not. 00:53:46.460 --> 00:53:48.679 There's trace chemicals, and that goes back to 00:53:48.679 --> 00:53:51.019 what about filtered water? Well, there's still 00:53:51.019 --> 00:53:55.000 trace particles in there that over time, It builds 00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:58.260 up. So it's just one of those things that I think 00:53:58.260 --> 00:54:01.380 people need to be more aware of, of how they 00:54:01.380 --> 00:54:05.639 get bottled water, just purified water. Do the 00:54:05.639 --> 00:54:10.019 best you can to lessen your contamination. And 00:54:10.019 --> 00:54:12.699 for another example, I have where I work, I work 00:54:12.699 --> 00:54:15.840 in a hardware store and I have customers who 00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:18.940 tell me, hey, I got my faucet, it has all this 00:54:18.940 --> 00:54:22.440 rust and lime, blah, blah, blah. It goes, well, 00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:27.630 we're... Would they say plumbers say oh, that's 00:54:27.630 --> 00:54:31.730 the amount of iron that that the water has in 00:54:31.730 --> 00:54:39.010 the region about it It's something else People 00:54:39.010 --> 00:54:41.469 people aren't so naive too because they know 00:54:41.469 --> 00:54:44.289 like their water stinks. Yeah. Yeah smells. It 00:54:44.289 --> 00:54:46.929 looks cloudy If you look at it, it's like I'm 00:54:46.929 --> 00:54:50.389 not drinking that. Yeah It's not being talked 00:54:50.389 --> 00:54:53.809 about that's a problem is a Nobody's being transparent 00:54:53.809 --> 00:54:55.909 about it as they just don't drink the fucking 00:54:55.909 --> 00:54:59.550 water. You should have a big a big People that 00:54:59.550 --> 00:55:02.010 sign the petition and have a couple of politicians 00:55:02.010 --> 00:55:03.869 up there in the way and greet them now who they 00:55:03.869 --> 00:55:06.309 are and they just serve them water water And 00:55:06.309 --> 00:55:09.489 he goes there's water very god drink and have 00:55:09.489 --> 00:55:11.909 them drink it and he goes that's your shitty 00:55:11.909 --> 00:55:14.650 water right there Yeah, that's came straight 00:55:14.650 --> 00:55:16.869 out of that came straight out of tap just for 00:55:16.869 --> 00:55:21.630 you guys That'd be a harsh reality, I hope. Welcome 00:55:21.630 --> 00:55:26.710 to Wichita. No, but it's the truth, though, man. 00:55:26.769 --> 00:55:29.510 I mean, there's so many things here in the RGB, 00:55:29.730 --> 00:55:32.750 and we're going to the, talking about that as 00:55:32.750 --> 00:55:36.389 far as the water supply. We are down in the lake, 00:55:36.809 --> 00:55:38.590 I've known for the longest time, like bro, you 00:55:38.590 --> 00:55:40.679 don't go swimming out there. You don't go fish 00:55:40.679 --> 00:55:41.840 out there. And there's still people that do. 00:55:42.079 --> 00:55:44.719 Are there signs in Spanish? There are signs everywhere. 00:55:44.820 --> 00:55:46.679 But are they in Spanish? Because I heard that 00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:49.139 that's how civil rights are violated when you're 00:55:49.139 --> 00:55:51.239 not speaking the language or telling the language 00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:53.440 of the people that are most prevalent there. 00:55:53.440 --> 00:55:55.599 Right. That is a civil rights violation, not 00:55:55.599 --> 00:55:57.559 a human rights, a civil rights violation. Yeah. 00:55:57.880 --> 00:55:59.880 I know when you go, when you're driving, I've 00:55:59.880 --> 00:56:01.659 been there in a long time. I don't go, I don't 00:56:01.659 --> 00:56:03.500 go out there anymore. Hell no. That place gives 00:56:03.500 --> 00:56:06.639 me, they give me GBs now. But when we used to 00:56:06.639 --> 00:56:09.250 go out there, There used to be a yellow sign 00:56:09.250 --> 00:56:11.750 right when you drive in to your right on one 00:56:11.750 --> 00:56:14.429 side of the lake. It would tell you Contamination 00:56:14.429 --> 00:56:18.570 no fishing no swimming. Yeah on the bottom. I've 00:56:18.570 --> 00:56:20.070 never really read it I don't know if it's in 00:56:20.070 --> 00:56:22.389 Spanish. Maybe it is in Spanish or just weird 00:56:22.389 --> 00:56:31.230 lettering from aliens. I don't know Someone explain 00:56:31.230 --> 00:56:33.969 to me translate no, but I mean the signs everywhere 00:56:33.969 --> 00:56:36.369 when you go there you make the turn to your left 00:56:36.539 --> 00:56:38.780 that's there to your right there's one there 00:56:38.780 --> 00:56:42.239 in the entrance there's one there it's it's like 00:56:42.239 --> 00:56:45.340 hinted bro it's like hinted no it's not i mean 00:56:45.340 --> 00:56:47.440 not to say that you know i'm not to say that 00:56:47.440 --> 00:56:48.960 oh they should have put it no they need to put 00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:50.679 it in spanish that's that's a violation of the 00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:53.260 right they need to read that you know i can tell 00:56:53.260 --> 00:56:56.219 you uh don't don't fish there don't fish here 00:56:56.219 --> 00:56:58.860 because it's contaminated with alligators and 00:56:58.860 --> 00:57:00.380 then put on the bottom you know out of three 00:57:00.380 --> 00:57:02.079 you know alligators here in spanish and all that 00:57:02.079 --> 00:57:03.989 good stuff You think that's going to stop them? 00:57:04.150 --> 00:57:05.949 No, they won't. They're still going to go in. 00:57:07.710 --> 00:57:10.809 Come on, bro. I mean, you have those. You have 00:57:10.809 --> 00:57:14.070 a couple of apples that are that. And it's true 00:57:14.070 --> 00:57:16.449 because my grandpa fishes in the oil. He's 95. 00:57:16.989 --> 00:57:19.670 So when I was talking to the scientist, Jim White, 00:57:19.710 --> 00:57:22.650 he was saying, I was asking, well, how do I tell 00:57:22.650 --> 00:57:25.289 people like that are 95 years old, they don't 00:57:25.289 --> 00:57:28.349 go fishing in the oil? But he's made it like 00:57:28.349 --> 00:57:31.250 he's made it. He's fine. But everyone else is 00:57:31.250 --> 00:57:35.250 playing Russian roulette. Unfortunately, you 00:57:35.250 --> 00:57:37.750 can't worry about that. You just can't. They're 00:57:37.750 --> 00:57:39.150 on their way out. Yeah, they're on their way 00:57:39.150 --> 00:57:50.349 out. Same thing with the people. It's the same 00:57:50.349 --> 00:57:52.510 thing with the people that have that attitude. 00:57:55.469 --> 00:57:58.369 you just got to work past that you know get to 00:57:58.369 --> 00:58:01.210 the people who are willing to listen yeah it's 00:58:01.210 --> 00:58:02.789 hard it's a hard thing like I said you're always 00:58:02.789 --> 00:58:06.289 gonna have those those naysayers and well what 00:58:06.289 --> 00:58:08.329 you're doing is a great thing trying to get people 00:58:08.329 --> 00:58:12.309 to sign the petition trying to look out for not 00:58:12.309 --> 00:58:15.170 just our kids but their kids our grandkids and 00:58:15.170 --> 00:58:18.050 their kids in the future 15 years is what you 00:58:18.050 --> 00:58:19.670 accumulated on what it would take to clean it 00:58:19.670 --> 00:58:23.599 up 10 to 15 years I don't see why people shouldn't 00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:25.860 sign this petition. I think Elon should take 00:58:25.860 --> 00:58:28.539 the brunt of the cost to fix up at least the 00:58:28.539 --> 00:58:31.079 oil to be able to function out of camera counting. 00:58:31.880 --> 00:58:34.400 Like if his rockets are going to be making billions 00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:37.480 of dollars a year, it'll cost 500 to a billion 00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:40.519 dollars to fix the oil. That's one problem solved. 00:58:40.780 --> 00:58:42.900 Now you worry about the Rio Grande River. So 00:58:42.900 --> 00:58:45.840 it's just because at some point people are going 00:58:45.840 --> 00:58:47.969 to be asking, well, how do we fix it? I'm not 00:58:47.969 --> 00:58:50.269 a scientist, but I can come up with some ideas, 00:58:50.429 --> 00:58:52.829 and I don't know if they're stupid, but at least 00:58:52.829 --> 00:58:55.710 they're ideas. Nobody else is talking about ideas, 00:58:56.150 --> 00:58:58.710 so it will take about 500 million to a billion 00:58:58.710 --> 00:59:01.750 dollars to fix up the oil, to clean it up. And 00:59:01.750 --> 00:59:04.510 I think Elon should take the brunt of that because 00:59:04.510 --> 00:59:07.929 he's operating now SpaceX out of the Cameron 00:59:07.929 --> 00:59:09.989 County, the Rio Grande Valley. His rockets are 00:59:09.989 --> 00:59:11.650 going to affect a lot of people with pollution 00:59:11.650 --> 00:59:13.329 that's going to be pushed up. Look at the weather 00:59:13.329 --> 00:59:17.349 here, bro. Look at the weather. And you can blast 00:59:17.349 --> 00:59:21.170 your rockets over there. Over there. Kingsville. 00:59:23.929 --> 00:59:29.710 I mean, I think it's a plausible thought to entertain. 00:59:30.420 --> 00:59:33.159 It's crazy and it's crazy all day. I mean the 00:59:33.159 --> 00:59:37.639 RGB is slowly Changing a lot through the years 00:59:37.639 --> 00:59:40.019 that we've lived through, you know to the point 00:59:40.019 --> 00:59:43.639 where now we're seeing And I'm looking at one 00:59:43.639 --> 00:59:45.000 of them right next to your computer right here 00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:46.440 in the back So we see a lot of these alligators 00:59:46.440 --> 00:59:48.400 popping out all over the place now, man. They're 00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:54.699 moving He's like what was that an alligator that 00:59:54.699 --> 00:59:56.320 a pimp? I didn't know what it was when I drove 00:59:56.320 --> 00:59:58.840 by, you know, it's right there You got the super 00:59:58.840 --> 01:00:01.400 skewer that guys from Oregon. He he barbecues 01:00:01.400 --> 01:00:04.219 the alligators. So delicious. This is my buddy 01:00:04.219 --> 01:00:07.659 Yeah, so he would have caught that thing, hooked 01:00:07.659 --> 01:00:09.940 it up. They're slow. Alligators are slowly realizing 01:00:09.940 --> 01:00:12.500 not to come anywhere near Hispanics. We will 01:00:12.500 --> 01:00:15.559 barbecue your ass. If you watch the podcast out 01:00:15.559 --> 01:00:18.610 here, we will barbecue your ass. and make boots 01:00:18.610 --> 01:00:27.599 after that. They contaminate the river. They 01:00:27.599 --> 01:00:29.199 go, we don't want the illegal scrub contaminate 01:00:29.199 --> 01:00:31.239 without yours. No, you already got one on the 01:00:31.239 --> 01:00:40.719 other side making. It didn't work. But they look 01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:47.760 great. Looks amazing. It looks amazing. But yeah, 01:00:47.920 --> 01:00:50.469 man, but I mean. We're by the way, we're coming 01:00:50.469 --> 01:00:52.570 up toward an hour into the podcast.
