Speaker 1: 0:01

Well, hello there everybody. I'm Heidi, and this is the Surviving Changes podcast. Hey, take a look around. We're making some changes, so we're upgrading. We've got a mic. I think that we've got the rooster taken care of. For the most part, we'll see, and I can put up a screen behind me and make it green screen, but it kind of looks silly, so I'm going to leave it like this and see how it goes. Whoa, ah, there's that rooster. We'll see. Can you hear him? We'll find out soon. All right, so here we go.

Speaker 1: 0:38

We have come a long way together, haven't we? We've come a really long way together. We've literally gone around the globe. Just me, you, a Bible and a backpack. For the most part, a whole lot of faith, a whole lot of faith, right? But so, okay, when we last stopped, we had just Ubered across Mexico, literally that fucking rooster's back. All right, we're going to see how that goes.

Speaker 1: 1:12

For this last one, we're still in the informal mode, right? And so, just so you know, all of these that talk about the journey, that weren't really originally part of the podcast, they're all going to get closed up. As a matter of fact, all the other ones are closed up now and you have to sub to get up. That's one of the ways I'm going to help pay the lawsuit. Also, this is going to be a real podcast, and so those kind of got to be aside, right, and so any of the podcasts that I do that are related to the lawsuit the journey around the globe, like we've been talking about it I'll leave it up for free for one week and I think it's only $3 a month. Like half of a coffee, half of a coffee. If you want to follow along, it'll be half a coffee. Um, sorry, but I think that's the best way to go. I don't want to start a whole new podcast, um, just anyway. So let's, let's get to it. Let's get through this one.

Speaker 1: 2:18

Um, mexico we're saying goodbye to Mexico and hello to Puerto Rico. Now, I'm sure I talked about it. I don't go back and listen. I've told you that before. That's another thing that'll change. Fucking rooster, that's the next thing that'll change. I'll actually use scripts. We'll talk seriously, we'll do some serious stuff, but let's get you to where I am now. Alright, so you know kind of how that went. So last we talked, I had just left Mexico, came into Puerto Rico. I had Ubered, or paid an Uber, only spoke Spanish, couldn't talk to him the whole way. A friend I trusted it was their friend Ubered me from Cabo to Cancun. We Ubered all the way up to La Paz, took the um.

Speaker 1: 3:20

I insulted one of the top cartel guys. I talked about that a little bit and we're going to talk about it specifically in an upcoming podcast. Because after living with a cartel member and living in a cartel town, there's a lot of stuff that's not like their secrets but things that you should just know, things that are interesting the way they celebrate the religions If you call them religions but they call them religions Stuff like that, different holidays that they celebrate and how they celebrate differently than other people, things like that. Hopefully it doesn't get me killed. I'm not telling any of the big secrets. That's in a future podcast anyway. But I insulted the head guy.

Speaker 1: 4:14

I was not leaving and we had the gringo deal, but they were kind of they're kind of taken care of. They're certainly taken care of now, but at that point it wasn't them I was worried about. It was that Henkarts Hell guy. I told him if he didn't do a certain thing I was going to make an international problem and after I did that, I'm like, oh you know how I could stop that problem. The way that he handles things is a lot different than understanding things right. So we just made it from Cancun, went all the way over in the Uber to Cancun, flew from Cancun into San Juan, and as soon as I get into San Juan, that fucking warrant from Chris hits me.

Speaker 1: 5:02

Now I know that it's possible that it can, and my passport has expired since I've been in Mexico, but I'm coming into a US territory and I didn't think it was going to be a big deal. It turns out it was a big deal because of how old and antiquated Puerto Rico's system is. They needed something that had a valid expiration date, and the only thing I had that had a valid expiration date was my Mexican driver's license and my Mexican residency card, and so I didn't have any of that. So I was already going to be flagged, probably, but that's going to be a big deal if I got a warrant right. Puerto Rico is part of that whole system. I'm very, very aware of that, but this is my home.

Speaker 1: 5:50

I now have dealt with IRS. I've dealt with a lot of stuff that I know God's going to help me figure out and deal with this. However, the fuck we need to deal with it. I did have a pretty big issue though Now in Mexico um pharmacies and get all kinds of stuff, like all kinds of stuff and when I lived there I may or may not have got Xanax and stuff like that Um, usually I had some on hand, but that's one of those you really have to learn self-regulate. And so if you have followed the podcast, you remember with Brandon how I started having panic attacks after his suicide. So I'm familiar with that. So I may have kept that on hand. But the medications that I wanted to keep.

Speaker 1: 6:40

Coming into a hurricane zone after watching friends who had died um like literally horrible deaths had the hurricane took them originally, that would have been one thing um, these guys went through horrific, horrific stuff dying afterwards no power in the heat, bugs everywhere, contaminated water, um poison, ivy in the air that got in their lungs. I mean just really, really horrific stuff. And so I know I'm coming into that and when I'm coming in it's going to be hurricane season pretty quick. I trust God and he's been very clear to me he's not brought me this far, to bring me home, to have me in a hurricane. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to be prepared. I haven't made it around the globe because I'm not prepared, right.

Speaker 1: 7:33

And so I wanted to grab as many antibiotics amoxicillins, ivermectins, um, uh, fenben, um, you know all of those type things that I could easily get there, that I might not easily get here but certainly might need, and so, um and plus, I had a huge over the time. I had a pharmacy at my house. It's cheap. There's no reason not to have a pharmacy at your house. So I had a lot of medications and when you come into Puerto Rico it's an island they're very, very specific about what you can bring on their island and so everything goes through their people.

Speaker 1: 8:20

It ended up probably being a good thing for me and having all of that stuff, because I don't know if it was legal and I don't know what wasn't legal. I'll tell you right now. All I know is I got them there legally and I wasn't throwing them away there. If someone else threw them away, so be it. But so now I'm in Puerto Rico and they're like you have a warrant for auto theft and by this time, because I had skipped, also bail jumped, so I'm looking at a double felony warrant that I know I'm innocent of and can, at this point, fairly easily prove, so long as I'm in a court that is a real court, that isn't a made-up court, that follows the rules and does those type of things right.

Speaker 1: 9:06

But we're getting there. We're getting there on that, we're getting there. You're going to probably want to sub because we are getting there, but so, anyway, I go through their little stuff, talk to everybody. People are being super nice at the airport. Thank you for coming back. How'd you get here? Where'd you come from? Thank you for coming back.

Speaker 1: 9:30

And then, all of a sudden, everybody leaves me, because I'm now at customs and they're telling me I got a warrant. Cops are surrounding me. I've got Pellucci and he's got his service dog stuff that we got in Mexico. He did a good job on the plane, though, so it was fine, but here I am walking through the airport with real service. I mean, I paid the company, but it's a company that you go online and get them certified, and so I don't know how great that is either, but he's got all the service stuff. I've got my medication, we've got two warrants. I don't know where I'm going to stay. I have just paid a lot of my money to get here and once again, we're relying on God. Thank you, sir. Once again, we're relying on God.

Speaker 1: 10:24

But so when they put me over, set me aside, look into everything, um, and that obviously asked me about it, and at that point, to tell them about chris, um, tell them about everything that happened, hurts it actually have. If you look, there's a lawsuit that they have because they weren't renewing. There's a bunch of people that got felonies, um, renting from these guys because they weren't renewing. There's a bunch of people that got felonies renting from these guys because they weren't renewing correctly and their computer just automatically sent off stuff, and so there was a past action suit on that, and so they were searching all of these different things.

Speaker 1: 10:56

And then, finally, it was clear I needed to say something, something more, and so I explained as politely as I could that, um, that they're gonna get themselves in the middle of a fucking RICO lawsuit, um, just like the IRS lady, just like, just like, uh, and that they better be damn sure, if they're gonna hold me, that they can hold me. So they went, they talked amongst themselves, made me and Pellucci sit there, went through my stuff more, I don't know how Didn't pull out any medication. I don't think I didn't get in trouble for any medication, so if they did, I don't know about it talked and decided they didn't want to be any part of a lawsuit. They didn't really care about California. They weren't going to hold me until somebody from California got me and they let me go, told me that I did have those warrants, that if I'm running around they weren't going to look for me but someone else might pick me up and it's probably a good thing to get it taken care of. I agreed and so I immediately found an Airbnb. Great, ended up renting from him, staying at the Airbnb for a month, and then I came over to the west side where I was before. But it just broke my heart. Everywhere I looked I saw my friends dying, or beaches where they died it was.

Speaker 1: 12:20

I'm over here now, but it took a year, literally a year of preparing for that and healing and trying to honor. You know do things like that. But so, as I'm over there, I'm still running the tour business. I've got the tour business, so we've got a little bit of income coming in. Now I do have to share it with more people because I've got more people on the ground doing the work and so, fuck, it's been tight. It's been tight especially trying to get this stuff going. I'm thankful God's good and we're here and thank God for the tour business. But at work we got some other stuff like the Backyard Gardener app. Please, that's an amazing fucking app. Please check into it. Make some money on it, grow some stuff. Check it out, please. Pretty please. It's fucking cool. Anyways, it really is.

Speaker 1: 13:19

But so I get settled, get kind of moved in back over there. I call him back up and say, hey look, I changed my mind. I can't live over there. It hurts me. Plus, it's on the west side. It is a. It's like the Wild West, but a jungle, especially if you're alone. You need to be very brave to live on the west side of puerto rico alone almost more brave than living in cabo um alone, at least before. I don't know they're equal, but um, the peace here is wonderful and so I love it. But so, anyway, I stayed over there for a year, got established, um stayed at that Airbnb but rented from him monthly, and during that time I had to decide what I wanted to do with these warrants.

Speaker 1: 14:14

Now the prosecutor that prosecuted this, I know was either part of the Fusion Center or just was doing his job. I wasn't quite sure. Um, I know that he didn't like me, but I was a criminal defense lawyer. There's a lot of them that didn't like me so I didn't know if he didn't like me because it was part of something or because that was just his natural demeanor. Anytime he got a formal criminal defense lawyer as a criminal, he enjoyed that shit right, and so that's why it wasn't worth dealing with him at the time. Quite honestly, if I dealt with him in that system at the time, he was going to win every single time. There was no chance, sometimes leaving and coming back and choosing your time to fight. Art of War. Art of War got it right here. Art of War in the Bible.

Speaker 1: 15:14

On this one, I wanted to pick my time to fight, which meant I had to go around the world with these warrants, and that's a chance, right. But it was still a better chance than staying there at the time and dealing with that. So I needed to decide if I wanted to go back and reopen that or if I wanted to call somebody and see another lawyer in town, somebody that works in that area, which is generally the smartest thing to do is get somebody that works in that area. It doesn't matter your legal, your legal rights sometimes aren't as important as those connections sometimes, whether they be good connection or bad connections, as long as those connections, there's something there to work with. And so I decided to at least call around, check on some people, see what I could do to not have to go back there.

Speaker 1: 16:07

I did find a lawyer, looking through reviews, ones that worked very closely in that court, obviously knew that prosecutor, those judges that's the other thing. Ask them specifics about the events. What's the judge like Not in court? What's that judge's hobby? Is that judge a zag? We had a lot of judges that were zags, right, and I could get along really good with all the zag judges.

Speaker 1: 16:36

Um, what do you know about that judge and that prosecutor? Um, and do you have the relationship? Relationship with the project? Bad relationship? What's your? What kind of cases? How many cases do you have with that prosecutor?

Speaker 1: 16:48

So I talked to him. Although I didn't love him very much, I was confident that he was going to do okay for me if I didn't go back there. Also, um, I threatened him to not take the money and defend me, unless that's what he was gonna do, because it was gonna be a big problem. He took the money, uh, and so he went back and forth, right, and I'm telling him from the beginning look, it's the whole thing's a fucking setup. I'm not doing anything, I didn't do anything wrong, uh, and I'll come back for trial. Doesn't matter to me as a matter of fact, it's good. I want to start some discovery and I don't want to spend the money on it, and if I come back and continue this case, I can probably get a lot of discovery done on California's dying. And so please let him know that, whether he knows it or not, I'm LL, he is part of a conspiracy, he is going to be caught up in a conspiracy and if he doesn't fucking let this go, that's the way it's going to be. I'm coming back there. That's simple as shit. There's no way this is doing anything. We're going to trial and getting a lot of evidence admitted Fucking through me.

Speaker 1: 17:59

I talked to him a couple times. I don't know if that guy was part of the fusion center or not. Like I said, just didn't like me, but he did not want to take that chance. He did not want to take that chance. He dismissed that shit outright.

Speaker 1: 18:11

Now I still did have the bail jump and that's a fucked up charge. And I know that's a fucked up charge, and when I didn't show up I knew this too. So it doesn't matter if you get the first charge dismissed. The bail jump is a separate charge and all they have to prove is that there was a court order that said you were supposed to be somewhere at a certain time and that you in fact were not there at a certain time. That's it. And so I know that's a good felony. I know it's a good felony and the only thing I have for defense there is a fucking threat, um, and so he dismissed the first one.

Speaker 1: 18:45

On the second one, he essentially did an Alfred plea that get dismissed in a year. Um, it's probably dismissed. Now I don't know, I might have to go back and do some stuff, but so essentially it's not a felony anymore. It's gone um after a year. But so I did give him that rather than go back and fight. But the whole thing cost me like five, six grand to pay the lawyer, deal with all the bullshit, um, in the process, and so we're adding it to their fucking bill. We're adding it to their bill. Um, if you guys are watching, um, no, it's costing you more, it's a more expensive day for you. I was just leaving it that. So, okay, um, and now we're here.

Speaker 1: 19:33

We're in puerto rico, we're on the west side, we are, uh, just a few miles from where paloochee was born. We get to go to the beach every day. It's a wonderful little house, far enough away from the beach that I don't have to worry about tsunamis and stuff. I loved living on the beach, but after knowing that my friends drowned there, I don't know if I'd ever sleep good again being that close to the beach. So I'm not, that's not happening. But here I am, on a hill. It's perfect. No tsunamis getting me, can still see the sunset, can get to the beach and parked in less than 10 minutes About 6 or 7, really. And then it's a beautiful life Doing the Backyard Gardener app, and, yeah, so that's where we are doing the backyard gardener app. And, uh, yeah, so that's where we are. That's where we are. That's where we are together.

Speaker 1: 20:29

Where we're going to go is I am going to do real podcasts. Um, you're going to find me on rumble, I'll be able to. It's at I am Heidi Hunt on rumble. Um, and it's free there. If you want it free and you don't want to deal with the subscription, you can get free video. So don't complain about the audio subscription. That's the way I need to do that. If you want it free also YouTube, I'll put it up there at Heidi Hunt or at I am Heidi Hunt same handle. And then I also grabbed on TikTok as a backup account at I am Heidi Hunt, so I'll start posting these over there too. We're going to do it this way, maybe one more time Hopefully not, but maybe one more time and then we're going to get a lot to talk about. We got a lot. So anyway, thank you, I'm Heidi. This is the Surviving Changes Podcast. Thank you for being here. Thank you, I'm not stepping on any pooch.
