Starting point is 00:00:00 Power 106. Yeah. L.A's number one for hip hop baby. Buenos Dinos. Good morning. It's Monday. February. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:00:08 Finally, no more January. It's the terseero? Yes. February 3rd. We are brownback mornings. And yes, we did come in to work today. We did. So I'm not sure if you are aware, but around social media it's been making the rounds.
Starting point is 00:00:24 I believe since late last week, or since late last week, that today will be a day without immigrants where people are choosing to stay home from work, to stay home from school, and to not spend today in order to show that our dollar matters and our presence matters here in this country, you know, I was talking about it and after talking about it with the crew, talking about it with my husband, we at Paran 106 and at Brown Bag, we're the megaphone. Yes. We're meant to be here to broadcast, and so we're using today to broadcast such things as that.
Starting point is 00:00:57 So later on in the show, we're going to allow the phone line. to be open we want you to call in share your story I want to hear about I want to I want to bring more of our stories to the limelight because often what we're told about why we come here and what we're doing here it's illegal they bring their their criminals yeah they're from insane asylums that full things asylum means insane asylum is crazy no I'm serious this is a real thing like they and all of these things are what's perpetuated in the media and on social media when we do not use our voice so we will be using that on this platform and I see a lot of times because there's been protests this weekend we're in Los Angeles yeah yeah I don't mean to get
Starting point is 00:01:41 straight into it but I guess we're going here right in the morning there's a lot of times where it's like hey you got to do it this way or you guys guys why are you doing that why are you causing an inconvenience why are you causing a disruption respectfully it has to be a disruption if it you want to get paid attention to. Right, for sure. So while we all have opinions on how people are going about things, I understand that it is because we come from a group of community that is told, just don't say anything.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Just don't cause a record. Just don't be in the shadows. Yeah, just work. Just do it. And I commend, and, you know, there's one, I guess, a sign that I saw. That really means a lot to me. And it was a man, an older man, saying, Thank you, young people
Starting point is 00:02:29 I'm not a voice I forgot that's okay For se la voice For being loud Yeah For being the voice I mean the voice of those that have to be quiet Look at us
Starting point is 00:02:41 Like you guys No No No For speaking up when me and your parents Were so quiet Yeah Because they're so used to just work
Starting point is 00:02:49 And just work like I said Stay in the shadows Just don't even say anything And I'm telling you all Other groups that get stuff across Do it because they are not quiet. Because they organize
Starting point is 00:02:59 because they cause a quote unquote inconvenience to those that want to just say hey just stay here and maybe like share memes and maybe just like talk amongst yourselves but don't get in our way
Starting point is 00:03:10 and so that's where a day without an immigrant comes into play later on in the show we're going to talk to the organizers later on in the show we're also going to speak to Caesar who was an immigration lawyer one thing I also saw in the news I saw like a piece of a news clip
Starting point is 00:03:24 where a woman was saying immigrants that know their rights are making it difficult to get deported. Wow. And that, to me, spoke volumes. It does. And we're going to have an immigration lawyer on the show later just to refresh should you need it or should you need to share it with somebody else. Also, later on in the show, I'm thinking around 845.
Starting point is 00:03:44 I don't know, we talk a lot, so it might be later. We're going to go dark. We're just going to go silent. And I don't know if you know this, but when it comes to radio, that's probably like the number one thing that they're like, oh my God. Never go silent on radio. They call it, quote, dead air when it's just quiet, right? We are going to intentionally and purposely go quiet in support of and in love to the immigrant community of Los Angeles and of the United States.
Starting point is 00:04:15 So I just want you guys to be made aware. If you're on your way to work, if you're on your way to school, if you're going to whatever, this is not against you at any point. I know we all got to make our bread. I know some of us can't take the day off. I know all of that. That's understandable. And I know you may still be feeling like, dang, but what can I do to, I guess, support in that?
Starting point is 00:04:33 And I'm just tell you, one of the many ways is later on when we two take that silent moment, you could be there with us. You could be there with us. Bro, I got Santa Feclan up in here, the song. I don't know if I could play. Yeah. We're playing. It's clean, right?
Starting point is 00:04:49 Oh. You got to tease Spanish music? Huh? He don't cut. He's Santa Feclan. I'm kidding. He definitely. because of that song.
Starting point is 00:04:56 A lefty letty come play. R-A-P Lefti, who is a rapper on this song that has become a protest song for the movement. So we're going to relisten
Starting point is 00:05:06 who speaks the best Spanish. Angie's in the movie. I'll listen. And we're going to clean that song and we're going to play it later on in the show. Yeah. We are brown bag and honestly and I think I will say this
Starting point is 00:05:17 with my whole heart. I'm speaking for Letti. I don't want to speak for Maximo, Angie, Greg, and Vic, who definitely took the day off. He was like, what? A day without? What?
Starting point is 00:05:25 All right. I'm leaving. Yeah. Spaniard. Just kidding. He was going to take the day off anyway. Yeah, yeah. He was in Saturday.
Starting point is 00:05:32 He's in New York. He's in New York. I am okay with any backlash I personally get because I'm in support of the people that we represent. That we look at and we see scared that we look at and we see like trying to figure out this and maneuver. I am here to provide you my support and my love and if that feels in any way, shape, or form like an insult to you, if that feels like you are like, how dare she? I personally am okay with not being for you.
Starting point is 00:06:10 I'm okay with me not being the type of person that you would like to listen to because I am here for the people that need it right now. And that's, that I can only speak for myself. Yeah. Do you want me to drop kick the ones that, you know, are me? No, no, I 100% agree with you. I think that we are, we, you know, especially like myself, like, you know, when I look myself in the mirror, it's like I.
Starting point is 00:06:36 So cute. So handsome, right? Like, I look like this guy. That they are pointing the fingers at it, you know. And, you know, I know the story that, and what my parents went through to get here. And unfortunately, not everyone has had the either access, the knowledge to come here legally. And I do understand the people that that's their reasoning. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:02 I get it. I'm not here to argue with you or change how you think. Yes. I just want you to understand, like my perspective, like you're saying, like for me. And that's just, you know, how I grew up and what I've learned. And even my community, when I driving and I see people selling flowers and my mom used to sell flowers. You know, I see people selling food. My mom has sold food to help us survive.
Starting point is 00:07:25 And so when I see that, you know, I understand why they're here and why they're struggling. And I get it. There's always bad apples in the mix with everything, but that includes people that are born here as well. Yeah. So, you know, I just hope that we can be that voice. But I also would love for people to, you know, when they are out there and when they are protesting, to also be smart on how they represent us. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:07:51 That's the most important part. Yeah. I did see videos of like people doing donuts on the freeway and like motorcycle. Looting and stuff like that. Those are reasons why they point fingers at us. That'll set it back for sure. And set it back. And instead of doing that, like I get it.
Starting point is 00:08:06 You're trying to be out there support, create energy. But let's do that the right way because there's organizers and there's people that are truly not sleeping, trying to help people and out there organizing and putting their blood sweat and tears into this. And then there's people that go and just cause disruption. And that sets us back. So let's be smart on how we approach this and let's be united. And I also want, you know, people to know it's like in L.A., it's, yes, maybe a majority Latino, but immigrants are from everywhere.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Yep. And we got to stick together. Yeah. No, that was perfectly said, Maximo. I definitely think that and my love to the organizers, because you do this regardless of the backlash you're going to get, the people that are going to come just for the vibes. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:50 And then maybe you want other intentions, right? Oh, yeah. It's like setting up a whole party and then here comes the deals that are going to fight. Yeah. Right. Exactly. And that's something like out of their control too. It's like you can't blame them.
Starting point is 00:09:02 They have like a good believer why they started it for a good cost. Good attention. And that itself could deter what the movement is, but that's why it's so important to stay steadfast and to remember why you did it and to continue to. And I just want you to know, again, our love to all those that affected. by what seems to be a feeling, a feeling of just, I don't know what to do right now, a feeling of helplessness. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:33 I think the biggest thing within us and I think with children too is that I don't know what's happening. I've seen letters on letters make their rounds on social media of his kids. I've seen those letters too. Writing to their teachers, writing to their friends. I'm scared.
Starting point is 00:09:46 I might not be coming anymore. I might be having to go. These children, you can't look. at them and be like, well, you should have came the right way. Well, you should have came legally. These kids don't know different. Go tell your five-year-old and your four-year-old how to go any, to follow any type of protocol. Yeah. You know, I've seen children literally sit in court, little kids sit in court trying to talk for themselves, representing themselves when it comes to trying to seek asylum or trying to see what is going to happen with them in regards to
Starting point is 00:10:17 the immigration policies here. Are we experts? No. I'm not an expert in law. I'm not an expert in law. I'm not an expert in government, but I believe that I'm a good human being. Yeah. And I care about children and I care about people that look like us that I'm seeing not show up to work already besides this day. Just not show up to work because they definitely feel like what's going to happen to us. A lot of people are living in fear. Of course, with no bad intention, but to be here and make a living. No one chooses to leave where they're from just because, just for funsies. Yeah. Let me just go hop, skip over there, right? If you were set and you you were good in your country,
Starting point is 00:10:54 you wouldn't want to move to another country. Of course not. You wouldn't want to leave your home. No. And again, I understand that this may feel controversial to some, and we've had conversations off air with the crew. Like at some point, we are going to have to stand,
Starting point is 00:11:12 ten toes down on whichever side of the line we feel is for the best interests of our community, and this is the side of our community. And this is the side of the side. that I'm standing on to be empathetic for those who are in fear right now. Notice I'm not saying anything anti-anybody. I'm definitely only speaking pro to the people that need it right now. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Being the megaphone, like you said. We have to be. That's what radio is. You know, in the same moment, there's other people that are like, why are you showing up? And it's like, bro, if we don't show up, we silence a lot of the voice. Look at us. You don't tell KTLA, hey, why aren't you? Why are you still showing up?
Starting point is 00:11:50 You know what I'm saying? So I just want you guys to know that we are the megaphone this morning. We're going to be talking throughout the show about a day without an immigrant, a day without an immigrant that is happening all over the nation, not just here in Los Angeles. We will take your calls. I do want to share your stories. I want to be as open to the cause as possible in order to share that support.
Starting point is 00:12:16 And in order to let kids know that may be in fear on their way to school or at home or while they're figuring out what's happening with their parents. Some kids are just finding out that they're not here. Wow. Yeah, they're with documentation. You know what I'm saying? My husband, who was a DACA recipient, he didn't know until he had to get a job that he was undocumented
Starting point is 00:12:36 because that's when you have to start putting out your social and they're like, oh, all that stuff. You don't have that. So these realizations are happening as we speak, and that's who we're standing for and standing on, right? we got more brown bag on the way we got to go to commercials and we also have you rolling loud tickets on deck
Starting point is 00:12:55 we have so much in store plus I promise we're gonna make fun of Greg and all that he did over the weekend because it's true bro if Ruth don't know that you are so hurt over her what no I wasn't anything about that person at all that person

Just know that we are your megaphone this morning. And throughout the show, we will be definitely tapping in with anyone and everybody that would like to call in in participation of that movement. I also understand that some people can't do that.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Some people don't want to do that. Some people are finding other ways to show their support to the immigrant community throughout what's going on and just the fear that people may be feeling this morning, this year, this lifetime. So in solidarity with Power 106 and Brownback, we're going to be going silent coming up around 8.45 a.m. and honestly that's basically like I guess in the league of radio that's like saying don't do it that's like saying all the other radio stations that we compete against because yes we're all competing for you
Starting point is 00:15:59 your attention your smiles your ears your loves those old little beautiful ears okay even if someone have little even if some of them look like elf ears like white we're all vying for your attention and we know In those moments in radio, they're like, no, don't do it because you're allowing, no, that's what we're going to do because we want you to know that regardless of what that means in the League of Radio and in the industry, we want to show our solidarity with you there.

Starting point is 00:19:13 But me and ATM Danny We're doing a whole bunch of tourist stuff And he was all happy about it He's like I love being a tourist here And I'm like, oh, cool Just them to. Together? Girl.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Wow. So meanwhile, over here in family friendly, Los Angeles, I went to the farmer's market. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:36 I look you think I'm going to keep this farmer's market but you'll probably figure out. No, I figured it out already when you posted the eggs. Yeah, because I shot it out there. The weevils. The eggs cost a dollar an egg right now. A dollar an egg.
Starting point is 00:19:49 We need to keep like a... Yes. Oh, yes, a dollar in egg, bro. I'm usually paying like maybe a dollar for an avocado. Like sometimes you find a dollar an egg brother. That's wild. It is wild. One of those things that I, like a little carton tray was 30 bucks.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Jesus. What? Well, you went organic. That's why, huh? No, but still... Yes, I went the best. Yeah, that's why. You have to, Angie.
Starting point is 00:20:13 At the market. I think it's about $14. Yeah, people are saying they're selling out places, right? They are. They can't find it. So we went to the farmer's market, that's the first place we hit. We're like, all right, let's go to where they have the eggs. And then it's funny because the lady was telling Jorge, like, yeah, you know, everything's so expensive.
Starting point is 00:20:29 And then he's like, yeah, that's why we came to you. And she's like, no, we're expensive too, bro. Because at the farmer's market, you get good prices. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Jorge was like, yeah, but not you, right? And she's like, no. Just get ready. It's going to be expensive.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Like this one costs this, this one costs this. And I was like, dang, that's a dollar in egg. I saw another lady. She was like, yeah, so I have to, since they're so expensive, I have to get the most out of each egg. And she was telling me that she puts four raw eggs in a smoothie. She's like, if they're going to be this expensive, I'm going to get all the nutrients from it.
Starting point is 00:21:08 I'm not going to cook it and remove nutrients. Like, I'm going to get it. I was like, bro, that's where we're at right now. It is. Eggs are like a luxury. me now. Yes. That's why I think we should give away
Starting point is 00:21:15 eggs for Valentine's Day. There's like a bouquet of eggs. Maybe not break them. We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. I think that's what we should do. Yeah. People need the eggs.
Starting point is 00:21:23 And the lady at the egg place, she was telling me like, at our farm? Yeah. Hold on. I'm saying. I'll shout it out. You guys get enough a plug.
Starting point is 00:21:34 At Don Beto's Farms. She was saying how a lot of the workers aren't showing up. So she was saying that on top of the egg prices. And then the new tariffs that are about to happen make a lot of stuff hard, especially when it comes to agriculture and farming and veggies and fruit, vegetables, any animal products. Yeah, but doesn't you know there? She was like, yeah, no one's showing up.
Starting point is 00:21:59 And so you kind of see, I guess, in these places where they are coming from farms. You see their, like, you see their mood kind of like just so you know, like they can sense it before we do. Oh, yeah, it's affecting them first. You know, even if you feel like maybe you don't eat eggs. maybe someone else in your house buys the eggs for you. That's the thing, so you don't really know that part of it. But being right there and being able to talk to people and then you're like, okay, it's real. It's real.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Oh, no, it's real. I'll do the grocery shopping. I should have like. Oh, you saw it? Maybe brought some eggs from Vegas and slang them. I don't know if they're cheaper over there. I don't know. And also buy the correct eggs, too.
Starting point is 00:22:33 You know what I'm saying? You don't want. I thought they were just eggs. Nah, bro. There's different ones. Remember we were telling you the cage-free chickens and all that stuff. Pasture raised. You need pasture raised.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Pasture raised? They've been outside. They've been in the pasturized? Pasturized. What did you think? Pasterized? Which is also a thing. What does pasteurized mean?
Starting point is 00:22:53 Maybe I'm wrong. Come on, Jose. I think it's the process of how they clean them. Pasturize? How they clean them? Oh, clean the eggs? Yeah. What?
Starting point is 00:23:04 There's so much. Yeah. There's a lot of different eggs. I thought the egg was just there. Yeah. It just popped up at the store. No. They just ended up in my experience.
Starting point is 00:23:13 chickens. See, that's the type of American Gregies. That's just like, you know what I'm saying? And there's a lot of people like that. That's like, this stuff just shows up. Yeah, just in my fridge. There's not actually someone picking it. There's not actually someone raising it.
Starting point is 00:23:26 There's not actually someone that's like right there. Mom, I want chorizo with eggs. Yeah. Is it chorizo? Yeah. Yeah, but big up that, that lady from Donbetto's farm. Dombetta. And it's in Arvin, California.
Starting point is 00:23:41 I don't know where Arvon's out. So shout out to you if you're from Arvin, California. Yep. Apparently it's an hour and a half. I didn't know that existed. Oh, way. I was talking to my husband and I was like, hey, so they drive from Arvin to over here to do like farmers market on the weekends. And then he's like, yeah, because over there, there's so many.
Starting point is 00:24:00 It's not like they're going to sell there because it's there. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? They have to travel. They have to travel and hit up these farmers markets so that they can. To make more. Yeah. And then I was telling him about the stuff that Jorge, that Jose told me before.
Starting point is 00:24:12 What is it? What? Jose, can I say? What did you say? The illegal activity. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Can I say, Jose? I want to know now.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Now you got to say it. So was it at the orchard full that we were talking about it? I don't know what you're talking about. Okay, because we saw this new story. We saw this new story how there was a truck of people that were going to different farms and orchards and they're taking the fruit, right? They're taking the fruit and they're taking the stuff they have. And then they go sell it to like, ask. actual stores and the stores will actually see right yeah yeah it's a thing yeah it's a thing
Starting point is 00:24:48 there's like people that go steal from farms and they'll sell it to actual actual stores because sometimes you think they steal and then they like like maybe sell an offer-up or sell on the side of the road no they will actually go to legit stores I won't say the names of the stores but like legit grocery markets yeah and the grocery markets will buy it from those people because maybe it comes at a cheaper cost they don't know where it comes from like they don't really do that like second like look But that's the whole thing in itself. How would you know, Jose? That's what his family does in Oregon.

Starting point is 00:29:49 Yeah, because he went on tour and did all this Did he do his Thanksgiving song? I don't know Oh Or is a Hanukkah song? He has like a one for the idea What's your name over there? Umbert
Starting point is 00:29:59 I know you have one He's a guy What movie are you referencing? My favorite movie? Blood in blood out What's A Crazy Night? What's A Crazy Night? A Crazy Nights with Adam Sandler.
Starting point is 00:30:12 You guys never seen that one? It sounds like. It sounds familiar. So Adam Sandler, he's a little... Oh, we got to go and precious. Jose, stop fighting me about these eggs. I'm doing my job on Parole 106. Stop fighting me or else you have to talk about it on air.
Starting point is 00:30:30 On air. Why were you fighting with her? Because I said pasture raised eggs. really meant pasteurizing. He's like, you mean pasteurized? And I was like, no, pasture. He still shaking his head. He still shaking his head.
Starting point is 00:30:42 You guys heard him. It's pasteurized. I can literally show you a picture. He's mad. I wasn't fighting you. No, now you were just correcting me. I was just manipulating her. Gaslighting her now?
Starting point is 00:30:51 Yeah. Jesus, bro. I thought you meant pasteurized. I was like, no, I don't mean pasteurized. I get what you're saying the way they clean it, right? Yeah, I said, I heard you wrong. Oh, she was saying pasteurized. No, I was saying pasture raised full.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Don't even start. Pasture raised means that they have these chickens free and they can eat the little grass everywhere else. Oh, they're happy. Yeah, they can move around. Cajree. Yeah. Sometimes cage free don't mean pasture raised though. That's why you have to get the ones to say pasture raise.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Yes, raise on the pasture. Raised on the pasture is able to go out. You guys read the labels like that? Yes. Just because the cow says grass fed on it, it don't mean that it's out about. That means they just dump grass on them. Dang. That's how you got to go to pasture raise.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Clearly. You guys don't do groceries. Facts. They're not the grocery buyers in their name. I'm not. I live for girls. Time to grow up, fellas. Neither am I.
Starting point is 00:31:45 I just went on a ride along with Jorge. She learned a lot. I don't know any of that stuff. Yeah, bro. It's our food, brother. They're getting us through our food, bro. I still don't know what's the difference between like 2% milk and whole milk. Same, bro.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Hey, Jose, you're asking a lot of questions. Do you care to shame in? It's that the count. it's 23 and me and it was 2%. It was 2%. What? There's fat and milk? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:12 It's what? What? All right. Oh my God, Greg. See? And this is why they can't take your jobs. You just don't know better, Greg. I don't.
Starting point is 00:32:24 They can't take your job. They know. What makes that be? How? Cahiette. It comes in the milk. All right. There's also non-fat milk
Starting point is 00:32:36 Oh, that's why there's non-fat milk That makes sense now He's learning a lot That makes sense I think we're gonna do this every day We're gonna just like Give a little information out We're all learning together
Starting point is 00:32:52 But I don't expect you to know everything No I won't fault you if you don't know everything I won't scream This isn't scream at you for believing In things that I don't believe It's thank you let me Yeah to each their own

Starting point is 00:33:26 I need your help. So basically, two of my sisters, B and J, move back into my parents' house along with their kids. Three in total. My parents' house only has two rooms Plus a room my dad made in the back Which is where one of my sisters I need to make a graph Already stays with her two kids
Starting point is 00:33:46 Okay So she has a sister B and J And a sister M You just want to say BJ Yeah, I was waiting for it Oh my God She said this I don't believe you
Starting point is 00:33:57 Okay What's her name Floor? Floor So she has a sister B and J B and one sister name B And one sister named B Yes Okay
Starting point is 00:34:04 I was like her sister didn't She didn't say who has the kids, but it says along with their kids. Three in total. They probably have a lot of kids. And then Am already stays there with two kids. Jesus. Another person? Another sister.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Another sister. So it's a total of four sisters. Okay. That sounds like my house, but go ahead. Both our parents don't work. So it's MFBJ. Yeah, can we just give them names? Because that's confusing.
Starting point is 00:34:27 This is her way. Yeah. It's algebra. Both of our parents don't work due to health issues. So we split the rent bills between my sister M and I. Okay. So M and her are the responsible ones from what it looks like. But recently, since my other sister B&J moved in, the bills have gotten more expensive.
Starting point is 00:34:44 At first, I was okay with still paying what I pay because I thought it was short term and they'd leave in a few months. But no, it's been almost two years and they don't pay rent. Wow. Their excuses that they don't have an actual room, but they still eat and use everything else. They have somewhere comfortable to sleep anyways. They don't sleep on the floor. Mind you. Jay goes to school and works so my mom takes care of her kids,
Starting point is 00:35:08 but she doesn't pay my mom for babysitting either. She also doesn't pay her car. My dad is paying her car insurance. I recently got into it with B&J because my parents are always venting about the whole situation. So we actually have floor on the line. Floor. Floor.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Fill us in a little bit more about all of this. Yeah, this family tree. She's not on the line. We need to get her back on the night. Two rooms, though. Two rooms? Two, no, three now, right? Line 10.
Starting point is 00:35:41 There's no one in 10, brother. So three rooms. Okay. So, two rooms. Yeah. A house of two, and then the dad made another, the third one back. So there's three rooms. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Three rooms. And it's a total of, what, two parents. Six, six people, six adults, and then there's three kids. Damn, that's a lot of people. Five kids. Five kids. Dang. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:02 This is Angie's house. Yeah, that's what I'm doing. floor how many cats no no no no we have three four four bedrooms oh yeah but she so she's saying that then she also said i'm a medical assistant and i know that title won't get me far and i'm trying to go back to school for radiology at the same time with dealing with all this i spoke to my parents for the past the past months about this but they don't do or say anything it just blows my mind that i'm the youngest and the only one with a brain here oh she's mad yeah jay is like two three years older than me B is like five, six years older than me.
Starting point is 00:36:36 She doesn't know her sister's ages. About like five, six. Well, she's a young age. She's around there. Around somewhere out there, you know. Floor. Floor. Hello.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Hi. Flower. Hi. Floor. You gave me an algebra equation. I love algebra. I don't have them. I love their ages.
Starting point is 00:36:56 You don't know your sister's ages? Do you love them? No, I just know they're older than me. That's it. Oh, okay. Wow. Do you love them? Do you know their names because you call them M, B, J, A?
Starting point is 00:37:07 Yeah, she's trying to help their identity. Yeah. And do you know your sister's... Of course. How old they are? Yeah. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:37:16 It's 82, 84, 91, the 93. No, not their year. How old are they? Oh, yeah, but I mean, you can easily do the math. No, see? Oh, yeah. 41, 43, then I'm me, then it's you leave. Okay, we're in math class right now.
Starting point is 00:37:28 I'm annoyed. I don't... I think my brother's like 40. Flore, talk to us. You and your... sister M. Is she in the dynamic of sisters? Where is she?
Starting point is 00:37:38 Is she the oldest? Is she the middle child? Is she young like you? She's the second oldest. Second oldest. Out of all of us. Yeah. So B and J,
Starting point is 00:37:47 they're kind of, one's the oldest and one's kind of in the middle, too. Yeah. I believe she's like 30 something. She's like 31. M is like 29, 28. And then Jay,
Starting point is 00:38:00 she's the middle child. So she's probably like 27. 28. And so then you're in your early 20s, huh? Yeah, I'm 25. Okay. Well, I just turned 25. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Thank you. There's three rooms in your crib. And where do you stay?
Starting point is 00:38:18 Well, right there in the same house, but I have my own room since they all moved out little by little. I got to stay with the room. Okay, so they're out. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, they left. Yeah, they left, so she got to move into the one of the bedchers. And then they came back. Yeah, they came back due to some... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:37 ...exclus we had with their... Their partners probably. Yeah, it happens. So they come back and they've been there two years and they don't really contribute. They just eat your snacks? No, they don't really help much. Especially Jay. She...
Starting point is 00:38:52 I don't know what's going on in her brain, but she don't really do much to help around either. And then, like, they see how messed up it's affecting my dad. And not even like that. they like you know try to step up or help with something yeah they see it like it still doesn't move them and for you to be the youngest sometimes you kind of feel like dang why am i the one that's stepping up to do all of this stuff right yeah like that's the way i see and especially because like when i was going to school for what i work for right now like i would still go to work pay my stuff i would try to help as much as i could and like for her to just be here with kids and like not helping
Starting point is 00:39:31 at all and it's like where does your money go if you don't go out either as you claim right and this might be a little bit more tough because it's not like you can kick them out they don't have anywhere to go it's not like you're still not your mom and your dad it has to be a move that they do huh could I tell them like yeah you guys could come to me and tell me as much as you want but there's only so much i can say you do this is not my house so like i honestly don't have the right to kick anyone out besides them Yeah. Yeah. What about your nieces and nephews?
Starting point is 00:40:02 I was going to ask. Are you annoyed of them? My sisters, yes. But my nieces and nephews, I will never go against them because it's not their problem. Right. Yeah. Maybe your sisters think that that's what they contribute to the house. Happy their happiness.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Yeah. It's true? Don't they make you happy? Yeah. They do. And, like, they have, they, um, give my parents, like, something to, yeah. take their attention away from distress so I guess yeah that's just
Starting point is 00:40:33 helping away yeah so you're welcome so we fixed that we did that I'm so what that's it you just get kids you don't have to pay red
Starting point is 00:40:44 just Riz her up I'm kidding I'm kidding you know Floyd Florida don't hang it we're gonna try to help you okay Bama Sita so it's just clearly
Starting point is 00:40:51 you could tell there's an overcrowded in your house for sure your parents love your sisters but also they may be enabling them with letting them stay there for two years and like you at least you're putting up some bread to stay there you have your career that you're looking toward to and all of that something so how do we fix that in this situation you know
Starting point is 00:41:10 she's like the responsible one yeah being the youngest and also probably she's the one that worries the most yeah yeah oh yeah for sure and your parents are complaining right flor they are telling you like oh your sisters they don't pitch in they just have the kids all of that floor if you're there Yeah, they'll come to me and then. And then, like, my mom is the type of mom. Like, you already know how Hispanic moms are. They try to take away their responsibility away from their kids. But then they come to me and tell me like, oh, I'm tired.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Like, I've been doing this all day. And it's like, okay, I told you not to take the responsibility away. Right. That's your responsibility as mothers. You already taught me. Your responsibility as a mother has been done already. Right. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:41:56 I know exactly what you mean. It's the abelita, the nana that's like, okay, I'll watch the kid, but then get frustrated watching the kid and then be like, oh, I'm so tired for watching the kid. Yeah, I'm talking smack in the back, yeah. Well, why do you say yes to watching the kid? It's that grandma. Why he seems so mad for? Five, two. This is life, brother.
Starting point is 00:42:13 It is life. No, for real. A one, I'm her sister. Angie, how do you guys deal with, like, how, like, who, is someone that, like, is the one that's, like, the warrior? The war in my, Julie. The one that war is. The one that, like, if we go to. Yeah, it would be my sister.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Sheney. But it's like everybody actually pays for rent. We all like contribute because my mom doesn't work right now. My dad does. But like every the house is paid off. Your brother too? He pays everybody pays bills. Who made that rule?
Starting point is 00:42:41 It's just like common sense. Yeah. Angie's like Angie's fights at her house are more about who cleans the restroom. Oh my God. Don't even get started. Right now it's more chores than it is. And pick up your hair. Yeah. Jasmine.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Flood, what about chores? Do your sisters do chores? Um, yeah, I mean, they have to clean the house anyways because it's their kids that make the mask. Yeah. I'm always in my room, so it's like, why am I going to clean up after somebody else's kids? Oh, so you don't clean. Oh, Flood, I'd be crazy. The kids are getting kids.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Lord, do you watch the rest of them. I do it enough. I'm pain. Yeah. Yeah. You know? To them, they're doing, like, they're giving in. their chores.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Yeah, the labor. Labor. Yeah. Flood is like, nah. Labor don't pay the bills. This is what Flood is saying. All right. Let's help baby girl.
Starting point is 00:43:35 8. 8.5.19. And also, please help Angie out with her. Yes. With the rest of it. Angie did one thing that was really mean one time. What? What?
Starting point is 00:43:46 With the toilet paper that you kept it in your farm? Oh, I remember. Oh, no, because that was being lazy. I took it out already. No. No. No. You remember?
Starting point is 00:43:54 You remember the story? Which one? That? your sister because she wasn't clean the other time. Yes, I did. And then there was still a toilet paper for my mom and then that got me more mad. Well, you had it in the car. Because they need to learn a lesson. See? What was going on here?
Starting point is 00:44:08 So she tried dogs cleaning the restroom. Yeah. And I guess every week it's one of her sisters and then it switches to Angie. Yeah. So they kept having Angie do it and she was like, fine, I'm going to keep the toilet paper in my car. No, I didn't give them the toilet paper because they didn't buy toilet paper and I kept buying toilet paper and I'm like okay it's your turn to buy it otherwise how are you going to be wiping yes and so Angie on purpose kept in the car I did so then they went to the mom's bathroom
Starting point is 00:44:34 and took from there and then she was more mad yeah then that they were resourceful in the house when they needed to do that and so then I just put the toilet paper with them they got you they got me yeah they got you but now my fight is that they haven't watched the restroom but that's another homie help yeah I get you so mad about it casus de la vida real okay 818 520 159 what do you do when you don't know your sister's ages. You hate their kids. You stay in your own room. She loves the kids, but she don't watch them.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Yeah, but it's not my mess. Nope. It's a clean. But she puts him for rent. She's tired. Yeah. Floor is also the one that has to hear how much the parents complain. And then she's like upset about it all.
Starting point is 00:45:15 She's watching. That carries so much weight. It does. When your parents complain, because it's like you don't know, you almost feel helpless sometimes. Yeah. You need to fix it. Yeah. You feel like it's on you.
Starting point is 00:45:24 That's why they can. I'm going to you. See, parents, stop complaining to your kids. I always tell my parents, like, I have to pay the bills around here. You don't. A1A. All the time. I hate it.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Turn off all the lights. Like, come on. Turn off all the lights. What? How much was your electric bill this past month? Dad text me how much the electric bill is. She don't like her sisters. She doesn't.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Spet up. She don't even know the ages or birthdays. Yes. She just knows that they are a hindrance to her house. Yes. She lives in a now three bedroom. I was previously two bedrooms and they converted something to make another room. And we did the math.
Starting point is 00:45:57 It's 11 people that live in the crib. It happens. Wow. Big family. Big family. They happen. Jesus. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:04 So her sisters, two of her sisters had moved out, had kids, and then moved back in because there's some issues that may have happened. They move back in. And she is like livid about it because she's hearing the parents complain. The sisters don't pitch in bread. They do clean around the house because they are cleaning after their kids.
Starting point is 00:46:22 So they have to, according to Florida and she kind of feels like dude I'm the youngest why is it on me? Yeah she's burnt out For sure she's burnt out She has goals of her own And she just sees that the problems of the house
Starting point is 00:46:36 Are on her shoulders You know Angie I've talked to you too Sometimes you feel like that Sometimes you feel like oh my gosh All of the I did and then I just I honestly just stopped doing it And my sisters had to pick up the slack And I do see like sometimes like they do need me
Starting point is 00:46:50 But I'm like now I'm over like You guys use me too much You guys stepped over me like that and I'm like, I'm done. So floor should go ghost. Yeah, honestly, that's what I did. And it's been working out for me. Who did you set your foot down like to, was it a sister? Was it your parents?
Starting point is 00:47:07 My parents, sadly. Sorry, mom. Sorry. And honestly, no, but then I feel guilty because it's like during COVID time. It's like I was the one taking care of my dad. I'm the one like missing work. I'm taking days off, things like that to take my dad to work. And it sounds like I'm a really POS person or what.
Starting point is 00:47:23 whatever, but, you're not. But it was just like, to me, I was just telling them, like, you have four daughters, including myself. I'm like, ask somebody else. Like, I can't be doing this all the time. And now that I stop doing that, it's like, now I, there's like, it's a big mess with medical stuff now. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Yeah, to take over on that. Because it's a lot. Angie's very attentive. And her dad did go through COVID really harshly. Like, I remember him being in the hospital. Angie stopped everything to be there for her dad. Angie being the middle child. and also understanding like my mom could be sick
Starting point is 00:47:54 and it could be around the house, all of that. She took the responsibility on her back but sometimes when you're that person in the family, other people just expect you to always be that person. Yeah, and their excuse was always like, well, I don't know this stuff and I'm like, I'm figuring it out too. Like, ask questions. I don't know stuff.
Starting point is 00:48:10 So it was just a lot of that frustration. And you're going to feel guilty at first, but also it comes at, that's the cost of literally standing up for yourself. And we see that just in any type of, I guess, relationship or even, in movement, you almost feel guilty for doing it for standing up for yourself, but no, that's what, that's what, like, now that I see the mess, at least with, like, my dad and the medical
Starting point is 00:48:32 stuff, like, now I want to take over it because it's like, at the end of the day, it's going to, I can be mad at my sisters, but it's going to be affecting my dad. Right. I'm at that point now. If you see the restroom dirty, you're just going to leave it? Oh, yeah. It's been like that for, you know, weeks. So mad.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Don't get it. That's what happens. That's what happens. That's what happens. Weeks. Maggie. Maggie and Torrance. What's up?
Starting point is 00:48:53 Hi, Maggie. Hey, Maggie. Hey, what's up? Do you feel the frustration through the phone? Yes, I do. Talk to us. I had a similar situation with my parents with my mom, always complaining about my two older sisters,
Starting point is 00:49:07 to my little sister because I moved out since I was 17. But I would always call me, and she would always complain about them as well. And, yeah, it got to the point to you either pay or you leave, you know? But, yeah, they never did pay. They just stayed there. My mom, you know, she just dealt with it. And one of the sisters, the one with the kids, of course,
Starting point is 00:49:28 she would always leave the kids there with her and would never tell her when she was going to come back or what. Yeah. Oh, man. It's just an ongoing problem. And it's still happening, like, to this day? Oh, no. No, not to this day. Actually, my mom passed away in 2020.
Starting point is 00:49:45 I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Becky. Yeah, no, it's okay. Thank you, guys. No, but it happened for like, I don't know, like seven years Right before that To the data she passed away Yeah
Starting point is 00:50:00 Did it get harder after your mom passed away Or was that like, no, it's done? You know, the family just broke apart pretty much It's just me and my little sister My two older sisters They're just, my sister lost their kids And they're with a dad Yeah, but
Starting point is 00:50:19 it's just me and my little sister because my dad's not even around for us so yeah it sucks it sucks it's my mom was the one holding us all together yeah so you kind of took your little sister under your wing in a sense yeah pretty much yeah she's still living at my mom and dad's house it's pretty much gonna be her house you know but yeah it's just being my little sister now yeah i know that's that's something tough life is happening and i think maybe that puts it in perspective too for sure these people that are the heads of our household may not be around forever, you know? And it's kind of like, what are this fighting doing?
Starting point is 00:50:54 Right. You know? I'm sure you had to just like put pride aside or ego aside or even just like, no, this is right and this is wrong and you may have that feeling of they need to know better. And then at the end of the day, mom is still not here to even be with either of you and have her. And I know you would give anything for those moments back.
Starting point is 00:51:12 You know what I'm saying? Of course. Do you think in someone that's been in that situation? I'm assuming would you say like look at the bigger picture, look at the family part of this, or would it be, no, you have to, you have to cut that now. You have to make sure it's done now. Yeah, it needs to be cut now. They have to step up for the responsibilities and their kids, pretty much. You know, they wanted to have kids.
Starting point is 00:51:41 They wanted to be grown, so act grown, right? pretty much I mean you can't rewind your life you know especially if you have kids so yeah they just have to step
Starting point is 00:51:53 they all have to sit down and get together and talk about it and you know throw a pillow around if they need to yeah you know
Starting point is 00:52:02 throw pillow around you know whoever gets to talk next are you okay with her having the house with my little sister well you know that's yeah that's fine
Starting point is 00:52:13 I mean I'm married and I'm have my own house. But I think it's a little unfair, to be honest. For sure. That he, yeah, that they just left the house to her, you know. I think it should have been like equally. It doesn't matter if we're different, you know, if I'm married and I have,
Starting point is 00:52:32 and I have my own house. It doesn't matter. I'm still their kid, you know? Right. I mean, yeah. But it is what it is. And get that pillow. Get that pillow.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Like you were saying. Oh, no. I can't even sit down and touch my dad. It's either his way or the highway, so. It's a lot right now. Well, I love to you, Mamasita Linda. Thank you, Maggie. I love to you, Maggie.

Starting point is 00:57:04 LA's number one for hip hop I'm glad David brought that while he's at work because some people went to work today something we didn't go to work today. Later on we're going to be talking to one of the organizers that help set up what is to be today, a day without an immigrant. Some people are not showing up to work to school
Starting point is 00:57:21 or spending in solidarity of what's going down with the very scary ice raids that are happening, the fear that's around the community, kids that don't know what's going on, whether they're going to go to school for real, and people that may or may not be showing up to work already because of fear, And, you know, we've seen these news stories of ice even going into schools where previously there was some restrictions on entering a place of worship, entering schools and stuff of that nature.
Starting point is 00:57:54 So it kind of feels like you're not safe anywhere that you go. And from the history of this country, stuff like this has happened previously. So this fear, while to sum it may seem over-exaggerated, quote-unquote fear-mongering, it has been a reality in the United States. States previously. So that's why we are taking it very seriously. When I look at a kid, when I see these stories of people in fear and people not knowing what's happening, genuine people that are not here ravaging and taking and costing us so much that are actually here contributing and paying to be here, paying their taxes,
Starting point is 00:58:33 whether they receive and not receiving anything back, making sure their kids go to school and become incredible career-driven human beings, right? Like we all say, and I hate that we have to say, of course there are bad, quote-unquote, the bad apples, as are in every single community. Show me a community that doesn't have one, then you can make me be quiet. There is none.
Starting point is 00:58:55 There is no community that does not have people that have done wrong things. However, why we choose to identify ours by those few is beyond me. Yeah. So what we've decided to do today as Paranooga 6 and as Brownback, take your story, hear you out. If you want to shout out your mom from Sakatecas that made it out
Starting point is 00:59:17 or if you want to say how you feel, if you're a kid and just want to send love to other kids that are going through it, you know, something that really touched me was online, a letter from a kid to his friend or her friend saying, you know what, I got to go, I'm going to miss you and all of that. I saw another letter from a kid to their teacher saying, I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye. All of these things are very, very real.
Starting point is 00:59:39 And they've been happening. It's been a thing. Yeah, it's been a thing. It took me back to when I was a little girl, one of my best friends in the world. Shout out to Viviana. Her family's from Asatlan. We lived in the apartments over here in Glendell. That was my writer died.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Sometimes we fought. Lo-key, her mom sprayed me with Windex one time because we got down. I don't know. You know what happens? It happens in the apartments, all right? Okay. What happens in the apartment? Staying the apartment.
Starting point is 01:00:02 It happened. I may have thrown a chancel at her first. It's like, it doesn't matter, doesn't it? She forgot that part. I may have a call her behind. Yeah. But she was one of my, if not, like, that's my friend. When I go to school, when I come home from work,
Starting point is 01:00:16 happened to find out that she was undocumented. And I think there was a council member that went to our elementary school and said something along the lines. Like, you can write to me. I wrote this person a letter asking for citizenship for my best friend. That's so cute. They even wrote me back. And my mom has a letter.
Starting point is 01:00:32 She showed it to me a couple years back. the letter of him being like, thank you so much for writing me about your friend Viviana. This is like something that my heart is deeply here for. There are channels. And like just kind of guiding me being very empathetic knowing I'm just a kid. Yeah. And like as a kid, I'm just like, what do I do? Let me write the government, right?
Starting point is 01:00:52 Yeah. Because you don't know what you really can do. And I think in those early moments of like I see someone else that's going through a hard situation, how can I help, is what not just kids but adults, but allies. and all of us are feeling for this community that is very vulnerable right now. So I went back to that and it's crazy because even in the council thing,
Starting point is 01:01:13 they're like, by the way, I can't give you plane tickets to come to the White House, but if you're ever here, I'll give you a tour. So I'm like, I never saw the letter that I wrote them because I don't really remember it, but I must have asked them for plane tickets. Probably. And I had never been in a plane.
Starting point is 01:01:27 I just know because the answer was like, unfortunately we can't give plane tickets to people that are writing. I was trying to get. It flew out. Yeah. Probably right. Like, I want to meet the government
Starting point is 01:01:37 or something. Yeah. I was like, take you to the White House right now. Prove it. Prove that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Prove that you work there. I say that I guess also in regards to the children right now, I think about you guys often. I have three boys and I think about the boys and girls that are living this life and really don't get to share their opinion
Starting point is 01:02:01 because they're just being told. They're being told things by their parents They're being told things by the news. They're being told things by the TV, by the iPad, by the phone, all of that. To give them a chance to hear, to speak to them, speak to kids, get their opinions on stuff. And you know what's wild to is in a, in these moments where stuff is hard, it brings out that anger, yes, and that fear. But loki, that's kind of a recipe for our future activists. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:30 You know, because within this struggle comes that rise inside you of, I'm not. I got to do something. You know, I wouldn't have written that person in the government had I not seen my best friend go through that, you know. And so I think to our strongest little soldiers that are kids that are feeling away and talk about it, right about it. You know, you have, if not, anything, you have more of a leg up than we do because honestly, baby boys and baby girls, we've been tainted. And a lot of us have been told to be quiet. And a lot of us have, when we try to speak up, someone shoots us down. Yeah, and maybe some of us have accepted that.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Not me, I'm too loud. But some of us have accepted that. But you, baby boy, you baby girl? No, you can. That's the future. And I want you to know at least from here. I encourage that of you of what you feel in your heart, that you express that. Express it through art, express it through word, express it on a YouTube vlog, you know, make a challenge about it or write about it.
Starting point is 01:03:27 But, yes, express yourselves and never stop expressing yourself. Because I want you to know that those feelings that you have, those. Those thoughts for other people, they're real and they're valid. Yep. Just don't draw the stuff that Horito draws. That's really scary. Yeah, I don't know. Have you checked on that?
Starting point is 01:03:43 Yeah. I guess it's something that he signed you too. Oh, okay. He signed to? Is that something from his imagination? Wait, he signed to do? We'll talk about it later. We'll talk about it during Halloween.
Starting point is 01:03:51 We'll talk about it during Halloween. All right. But I do have on the phone lines, let me see. Actually, I wanted to chime in with Joker. Joker was on the line. And I know Joker calls in because he likes to, play around and have fun. Is Joker still on the line?
Starting point is 01:04:09 Yes, Joker's still on this line. It says right here he has info on inmates being deported from prison. Joker. Hey, what's up? Buenos Aires. Everybody was cracking. Joker. Now's not the time to joke, by the way.
Starting point is 01:04:24 This is real stuff. Yeah. No, I know, I know. Hey, trip out. Yeah, last, what was it? Last week was kind of like aggressive, Spence up for that. No.
Starting point is 01:04:33 Oh! Oh, Joker. Yeah, yeah. Hey, I know it hit, it hit home. Yeah. Hey, trip out. Hey, by the way, we forgive you. We just, we were just clowning.
Starting point is 01:04:44 And we forgive you. And you don't have to be sad, bro. I'm so sorry. Yeah, I just wanted to be a Chisholza. I know her name. That's it. Hey, girls rule, boys drool. Oh, Joker.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Hey, but trip out, I got some breaking news. Just real quick for the hyena that wants to move out and going through the drama with her family. Float? Just, she'll get over it. You know, family first. You always have to deal with the little stuff in and out and just, you know, it's all part of growing up.
Starting point is 01:05:13 Anyways, let's get on to some breaking news right here, guys. So I got a bunch of homies right here. You know, I'm on a yard that's kind of like short to the house, which means, you know, we're all going home pretty soon. And, um, ice, ice hit the pads over here. You know, they, um, they're snatching up the fellas that, uh, that, that are, you know, they're snatching up homies that are getting deported. They're deporting homies from here.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Yeah. And what's sad about it is that, you know, my home boy's sleepy. Was like, hey, dog, I got like three days left to the pad. I'm excited, homie. I'm going to see my kids with and that. And, man, it sucks, eh, because they, you know, they're coming and breaking up homes, you know. Now my homeboy's in El Salvador somewhere or he's in ice somewhere. And they're not, I don't know how he's going to get.
Starting point is 01:06:05 it back because it costs a lot of feria you know and um you know so just you guys need to check on your people out there america you know that uh a lot of the people here are getting deported as we speak they're they're not even getting them a chance to call home and say hey they're taking me to me um you know uh el salvador they're taking me you know they're just getting deported because um i don't know it's a trip but people are on edge over here you know and um it's just sad you know so if you don't hear from your loved one check on them. Well, you can't even check on them because they're deporting them. And then they'll call from
Starting point is 01:06:40 El Salvador. So it's sad, you know, and I'm feeling it. You know, I see it on the news in here. Then I'm feeling it in here, you know, because it's just, it's not good right now, guys. And Joker, you know, when
Starting point is 01:06:56 this topic comes up and to people that aren't directly affected, this topic is just like for debate and people don't see that it's real humans that we're speaking about, right? And not for nothing, you being locked up and that person being locked up, to some, it would be
Starting point is 01:07:14 like, well, yeah, that should be the first to go because it's the criminals that they're saying are supposed to be happening, but you give me that perspective too of like, bro, we have fear too. I see you almost crying, bro, talking about your homie, like, I would never expect that of a joker. And I have to give you
Starting point is 01:07:32 Because, yeah, go ahead. No, no, go ahead, let me. I'm sorry. No, no, bro. Spence, it just sucks because we, we, there's a lot of good dads in here, a lot of good people, you know. Just because we did a crime or we got busted for something stupid doesn't mean you're a bad person. You know, we all mess up. And a lot of us hasn't even got caught for stuff that we've done, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:07:51 And right now, I know, I know, allegedly. But what's sad about is that these dads in here have been right into their families, like, hey, I can't wait to see you next week. And it's tough. It is. And even sometimes there's a lot of people who go in for like crimes that are not like
Starting point is 01:08:12 even violent crimes, you know, like driving without a license. Yeah. I remember like when I unfortunately went in, there was a lot of dudes that were there for driving without a license. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:21 You know, and like they're driving without license. So like what's that definition really mean? You know, when we say a criminal needs to be deported. It's like this would, would constitute that. And, you know,
Starting point is 01:08:33 and I get, There should be some type of, I guess, level of priority. But that's the thing. And again, I bring up, thank you so much, Joker. Hey, my love to, bro. And you being giving us that perspective. That voice, man. One, it shows me you're really in jail because we all think you're faking it.
Starting point is 01:08:48 We do. Hey, look at, trip out. I just want to say, you know, I try to come out here every once in a while just to show love and be kind of funny and stuff. But right now is a serious time. It's messed up because families are getting broken up again. And I don't know what the thing. the deal is, man, you know, I think for the future, if America wants change, I think we got to vote a Chicano in the White House because I think if we had a Chicano leader, a Chicano, you know,
Starting point is 01:09:16 president, man, imagine how much better this place would be because you know how it is, our blood ain't evil, you know, the Chicano roots and our Sangre right here, we got, we show love to anybody that shows us love back, you know what I mean? That's true. We don't discriminate, man. We show love and that's the difference, you know? So, Big shout out to everybody going through the struggle. And if you don't hear from your people, they most likely got deported. And I feel sorry for, you know, the families that are in pain right now. So much love to everybody.
Starting point is 01:09:44 Love to you, too, Joker. And I'm with you on that. Like, respectfully, what people don't know that they're doing, you know, the, there's a Mexican proverb is they try to bury us, but they didn't know that we were seeds. In these moments, I think of that all the time. because it's like understanding that you may think that you are getting rid of them and sending them back to their country and they're just here to steal from us. But what you're doing is you're lighting a fire in these little kids that will then turn into the next president of the United States because they were here and they saw the things that were against people that look like them. And it's going to be, it's going to happen. I have no, I have no doubt, I guess doubt.
Starting point is 01:10:32 that we will see a Hispanic president, American-born, fire in their heart to their community, and what would allow them to have empathy towards what people go through. And maybe that's what we need when we have these policies, someone with empathy, not just looking at paper, not just looking at numbers, not just looking at that part.
Starting point is 01:10:55 On the line, excuse me, we have Roxanna on the line. Roxanna is one of the organizers for this day that people are calling out of work, out of school, and not spending a day without an immigrant. Roxanna, good morning. Good morning. Buenos Aires, Marasita. Roxana, I have so much to talk to you about,
Starting point is 01:11:14 but first and foremost, thank you so much for calling into Brownback. We wanted this day while we were at work to be able to be a megaphone and to let people come on and share their story, their thoughts, their feelings. And I know that it's kind of going against the grain of going to school and going to work. Yeah. But we feel like this is our purpose in this moment.
Starting point is 01:11:34 So thank you so much. No, absolutely. From the bottom of our hearts, you're doing what you're supposed to be doing. We need you there holding it down. Like someone said, we need some Latino-Chicano energy in all of these spaces where our voices can be heard.
Starting point is 01:11:47 So this is where you're at. You're doing everything that you can to support us. So thank you. Thank you, Roxana. Talk to us about, I guess, the origin of this. I know it's a few people from all around the country that were like, this is kind of how we will organize. We talk about organizing.
Starting point is 01:12:01 all the time. As a Latino community, we may feel divided at times because we come from so many different places and we are in so many different places in the United States. But you guys managed to band together. Can you talk to me about that? Sure. So, you know, it's interesting. I met Austin and a while back, in fact, during the whole children and detention situation. Yeah, so we actually were, I was helping organize to the UN. I'm a former UN Empower Women Champion. and so part of my work was to kind of bring visibility to a lot of these issues. And I connected with him back then, and we stayed in touch. And recently I saw the post, I think on the same day that he launched it.
Starting point is 01:12:42 And, you know, I kept having this feeling like, I'm like, I think he's doing this alone. And I know he knows a lot of organizations. So I went in there and I sent him a message to say, hey, if you need any support, I forwarded it to one of my contacts in L.A., who was an amazing organizer. The next thing we knew, 15 minutes later, we have a whole collective of people now. between us to start promoting it. He had already gotten a lot like I think a million views by that point. And then after that we just started organizing as we normally do and we and this took off because what I saw was that people were ready for this. In 2006, I was actually at the first day without an immigrant. I helped pass out flyers door to door in all Northern California in the rural regions. We got harassed. There was only one other girl in myself. The difference between that day, and right now is night and day. The difference between 2018 when they try to do it again,
Starting point is 01:13:33 completely different. People were ready for this, and I think we're just over it as well. So I'm so excited that everyone has just taken it on their own, printed their own flyers. Next thing we know, we have media, business owners, like street vendor associations calling us, and it's just taken off.
Starting point is 01:13:50 Let me talk to you, Roxanne, because I do see where, like, I guess, where was the initiative of this is how we are going to show, our force by not showing up to school or work or spending. Tell me about, I guess, that part of it. Is it because the Brown dollar, we may not understand how powerful it is? Is it because we want to show that without us? You can't talk to me about, I guess, that initiative specifically of not going to work,
Starting point is 01:14:18 not going to school, and not spending. So it's a little bit of everything. I think in all reality, there's a lot of talk about our financial power and also about workforce. I know both Osman and I have been involved with some projects and know people that have been really trying to show what that financial impact looks in general before any need of a
Starting point is 01:14:37 protest. And what ended up happening recently, there's a foundation who actually was documenting numbers about Latinos being 78% of the future workforce for this country and that we are $3.8 trillion dollars of
Starting point is 01:14:52 financial impact into this country. And so how are we not using this leverage our visibility and to have the right decision makers at the right table. So once that was started, also, Osama noticed that in the D.C. area, that tends to be pretty active, they were not doing marches. You know, as we're seeing all of this develop, he's like, everybody's pretty quiet because all the organizations are so busy doing the litigation, supporting the people in detention, and he wanted to see something physically being done. And it's, like, not always a march. And what has also been effective, you know, Cesar Chavez, other social
Starting point is 01:15:28 community movements in this country, civil rights movements have had to look at the bottom line. And at the end of the day, if it doesn't hurt that pocket area, is it truly going to create impact? Because we need all the forms of mobilization. So that's one thing I want to be clear of. We as a collective are calling for this. And I'm looking that the community has taken this on individually because it's something they can all do, whether it's not shopping, not going to class, you know, just really showing that part. But the other part is not everybody is made to go be in a protest, right? So physically in person.
Starting point is 01:16:01 So some people can do that. Some people have different ways of doing it. I just want to say that unity is so critical and a reminder to everyone that, yes, anger usually makes these movements kick off. It doesn't matter what kind. But it is love that truly sustain them. And it's a love for our community, the love for humanity that we are actually using right now to make sure that we can prove the value of our community.
Starting point is 01:16:26 If we're having to do it through the dollar, it's so important that we do that. And this is only step one. People need to not get it twisted. This is only step one, and we've been at this for a very long time. If this started in 2006, the first time I ever was involved? How many years has it been?
Starting point is 01:16:40 But this time, we have a lot of people's attention, and people are ready for it. Thank you so much, Roxanna, for checking in. You know, I do see, and I'll tell you this when we posted that, you know, we'll be here and we are in support. There are like the commentaries on Instagram like, well, this is dumb or who's going to who's going to pay my day, my paycheck and things. There are backlash and I would just, I guess, I guess probably in partnership with you,
Starting point is 01:17:08 say not pay attention to that noise because yes, everyone can comment on their phone. Yeah. This, these types of commentaries, they can stop a movement if you let it. but if you just realize what you're doing this for, you understand that comes with it. The noise comes with it if your intention is correct. And I'm sure for the people that can't miss work, can't miss school, like you said,
Starting point is 01:17:33 there's other parts to it. You could do the no spending. There's other parts to it. Maybe you could put up a graphic. There's other ways to show your support. It's not an end-all, be-all. We must do this. We would appreciate if you do do this.
Starting point is 01:17:44 I do see, I guess, that back and forth. And sometimes it's people that look exactly like us, Roxana, that are like the ones that are like, this is dumb and all of this, and they just need to come here legally. And it's almost like, I always say like, bro, for you too. I'm doing this for you to.
Starting point is 01:18:00 And no par in la freta, you too, too, but it's like that kind of has to be, and I think in every movement, and shout out to our black brothers and sisters in the civil rights movement, because I'm sure just as much as they had people marching and protesting, they had others being like,
Starting point is 01:18:14 just stay inside. What are you doing? Just don't do, and it'll work out for you. there's always going to be that opposition thought in the group. Yes, and you know the other thing I'd like to mention, especially when we're talking about our own family out there, you know. I always tell people, Latinos are in Latino America tend to be like the perfect experiment for the colonizers. They make such a good way to make sure that we stayed separate and that we're always judging each other and not really coming to unity for a variety of reasons. So we'd remind ourselves that if this not might be your modalities.
Starting point is 01:18:49 to show love and to be able to protest. Also, everybody has to use their, we're not telling you you have to do this. This is up to you. Can you do it? Are you able to go to work? But also think about the people who have raids in their communities who are hiding right now. I have it firsthand contacts that people are cooking for others who are in hiding,
Starting point is 01:19:08 who lost their job, don't have the money, and they're going to deliver it to them because they're so scared in the rural communaries. I'm all like, these people don't get a chance to do that. And I also fully understand that there's a lot of, community members who are undocumented, who are willing to be out there and who are also willing to do the protests of any kind. And it's different. It's different for everyone. So you need to find your power and your voice the way it resonates for you. And if we can at least not be bashing each other with that. But even if you do, you know what, much love to you, we're moving on. Focus. And we appreciate those, especially like the media and all the influencers, all the community members, the individual business owners who are taking, shutting down their businesses and organizations.
Starting point is 01:19:47 I heard even a school has shut down, I think, in LA. I can't remember which one. So there's so many. I mean, I have people who are former mayors and community, school administrators who are not going in the different communities up here in Northern California. And I just really hope that people take note of that and that we support each other in one way or the other. And there's just no one right way to do this, but we do have to continue. This is only step one.
Starting point is 01:20:12 And the more we come together, the more that we're going to show our influence. And I think that's like you jumped back. I appreciate you, Roxana. Thank you so much for calling in. I love that strong Latina woman that I know you are right behind that. You hear it in her voice. I hear it. And shout out to Osman, too, who also helped organize this stuff over in D.C.
Starting point is 01:20:29 I know it's not all of, it's not just a couple of you. It's a whole group. So my love to you. Thank you, Roxanne. Thank you, so much. Have a great day. And also shout out to Wendy, our homegirl Wendy. She works with L-AFC.
Starting point is 01:20:42 Yeah. She's also part of this movie. Yeah, and she's whoring. according to a homie I don't know him Okay What's your name again Wendy? Nothing
Starting point is 01:20:51 Okay so You know I saw And I'm glad we have our guys Caesar Cesar on the line Cesar good morning Cesar Good morning guys I'm absolutely honored to be on Likewise and I know you're at court right now
Starting point is 01:21:04 Oh Caesar's a lawyer He's an immigration lawyer But thank you so much for giving me the time To check in with you quickly I also hope to bring you on tomorrow Still in person But I wanted to talk to you
Starting point is 01:21:15 because I saw, you know, people were doing like collages with the marches and stuff. And one of the collages was someone on the news saying, immigrants that know their rights are making it difficult for deportation. And they almost said it like negatively. And it's like, wow, there's power in knowing your rights. And as an immigration lawyer, Cesar, do you see there's so many people that don't know, one that they have rights within this, I guess, type of a topic or, a situation, but that they can definitely use them.
Starting point is 01:21:49 They can use them and you're there to help as well, Sarah. Talk to me. No, absolutely. I think that's funny that you say that that they're upset that people know their rights. Do process law is something that every person in this country has no matter what your legal status is. You have your rights to be heard, to be represented, and most importantly in these kind of cases, and forgive my, as they say, excuse my friend, just shut the F up. Don't say, don't give them more information that they're than they have.
Starting point is 01:22:18 Right. In some cases, it's the biggest thing is just being quiet and not giving them the information that they're looking for. The reality is, is that they don't have a warrant with your name, spelled correctly, where they're coming after you, that if you identify yourself as being undocumented, is not having lawful status, you're giving them the tools to go about this process a lot easier. And so, and sometimes I even joke about this with some people. If you're ever, uh, identified as being undocumented or not, I want to mess with these ice officers more than
Starting point is 01:22:55 anything and waste their time, waste the resources they're expending into doing this to such hardworking people. The people who are just trying to be here and hustle, I'm the child of people who were undocumented. And the only way that they got documented were the amnesty. This is a whole, This is a process that I mean, so many of us have gone through and so many should seem firsthand. To see the fear right now on the streets, the streets are empty. People aren't going to work. People aren't living their lives like the youth and they're not helping the economy. And so it's really sad to see.
Starting point is 01:23:29 But yeah, the reality is, is educate your loved ones. Make sure that they know what their rights are and make sure that they're able to take a stand because at the end of the day, that's what happened in the Civil Rights Movement. We all took a stand. and I think that's going to happen here. Yeah. So I want to talk to you quickly too about so here and I'm being, I guess, for opposition's sake, because this was kind of, I guess, the hurdles that we come across when we just want to support
Starting point is 01:23:56 and show love and then we get berated with certain comebacks from people. And honestly, I'm not a lawyer. I don't claim to know my, be an expert in immigration. But when people say they should have came here legally or when they say, they shouldn't be illegal then. And that's kind of like the comment you get that can shut a lot of people up that are trying to just
Starting point is 01:24:19 give love. What would you say from like a law perspective? Because there are routes. However, I also know there's so many obstacles within those routes and they almost feel like catch 22s sometimes. Absolutely. And I mean here's one thing. People are here seeking asylum. That is a lawful route to enter the country.
Starting point is 01:24:39 So yeah, are they documented? No. But They're in a process. And this is one thing. I think I saw the Chicago mayor mentioned something of this nature. And I'll love to my Ukrainian brothers. So I do have a lot of them. But the discrimination toward the Brown brothers toward us. That's what I'm seeing most of where these people are coming from countries that are war-torn that are torn up because of whether it's drug consumption in the United States and or just the economic policies that we have.
Starting point is 01:25:06 They're coming here as refugees. That is a lawful way to come into the country. They present themselves at the border. They request the sound and they go through a process, which is sometimes as quick as a year, but I mean, could be as lengthy as eight years. So they are going about it in some of these ways. The other thing is, there's a massive distinction between the entries. So when someone's an entry legally comes on a flight from, like, say, Europe, which they have excess to come here legally without even having to apply, versus coming illegally, as I'll say, through a land border,
Starting point is 01:25:43 that changes people's options of so much. People come here for so long. People come here and then they have lives, they get married, they have kids, but the difference is, is that entry differentiation, that changes the way that these people can, in fact, become legal in this country. And so, again, it's going to the same thing that the previous guest was talking about. It's these distinctions on the color,
Starting point is 01:26:08 on the race, on certain opportunities that are coming from other countries that are more white than when they're coming from these other countries south of the United States land border. And so these differences change things. And so when they're saying, oh, come here illegally, they shouldn't be illegal. They're coming here illegally. Or in certain cases, there are these loopholes that are allowing these people to be here come about, help this economy at the same time not be able to live with dignity and life, like the way every person should be.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Yeah. No, I thank you for that because, and I get what you're saying exactly. I've seen it within some friends that it's tougher for them because of the way that they came. However, other people, the whole world comes to America, right? Yeah. And like, our guys are saying some people have to come through plane because low key, there's an ocean, right? They're saying that's a legal way to come. Because they came.
Starting point is 01:27:01 The good way to come. They're okaying that way. But they're saying if you cross through land a certain way, then that's. illegal which is it can also seem like intentional because who comes through land but South America and Mexico right there saying so it's just you can see I guess where these things have their targeted I guess restrictions that make it harder for a certain demographic and a certain community and a certain certain countries of people Caesar I'm sure that that has put a fire in you to become an immigration lawyer
Starting point is 01:27:34 and you know having having my husband be the one to tell me like, look, I was in DACA. Yeah. This person helped me. To understand that that help is there, I think people may not feel that they deserve it. They can have it or it's for them, you know, but you're here to definitely say that this is available to them as well. I mean, there's so many avenues that people sometimes don't know about, I mean, from being petitioned as a child or through family and or if you've been a victim of crime. if you've gotten married.
Starting point is 01:28:11 I mean, sometimes, like, I know some homies who are just literally saying, I'm not going to ask my, I'm not going to marry my girl just so I can get my papers. I'm like, dude, don't have that pride. Yeah. Take the help when you can have it. You're lucky because some people wish they have that. And so when I see that, I tell them, swallow that pride, man. Do not let that go to your head.
Starting point is 01:28:30 Because at the end of the day, having that freedom and flexibility of being documented and being able to move about without restriction nowadays, without fear. Because that is the biggest thing on. seen is people are so afraid. People are constantly calling me like, hey, what's going to happen? And I wish I could tell them because the reality is it's really only been two weeks
Starting point is 01:28:48 since the inauguration and it feels like two years. Thank you so much, Caesar. Thank you for checking and I know you got to go to court. Appreciate you so much. Absolutely. Thank you. An absolute honor. I've been listening to power on a six and a thousand kids. This is absolutely a dream of truth. That's so awesome.
Starting point is 01:29:05 Look at us. Look at us. And thank you, Caesar. I know these are tough convos. These are combos you may not want to have or hear or think. And I think there's part of that to just know that those innate feelings of don't talk about it. Yeah. They're also like, they could be trauma responses and they could also be like, what I don't know won't hurt me. You know, the ignorance is bliss.
Starting point is 01:29:26 Some people intentionally want that. But there are people that should be hearing that this stuff is available to them. Yeah. There's a lot of people that want to like just fight about it, just to fight. Just to say something. That's why I just choose not to engage, bro. Yeah. Because I genuinely care about people and I care about, like, I don't know why my brain
Starting point is 01:29:44 just goes towards the kids. I care about kids so much. We don't understand that while we're fighting and we're this versus that. And on social media, the ones that are taking this all in, like they're taking everything else in. Everything. Our kids in the future. And, you know, that type of thing, these kids are going to have PTSD because of stuff
Starting point is 01:30:01 that's happening right now. Regardless of who the heck is in office, it's just what is happening right now. They're having, they're going to have PTSD because. They're going to be like, oh, someone's at the door. Or I can't take anything. Or do I go to school? That stuff is real. You can't tell them that that stuff does not exist in their body.
Starting point is 01:30:14 They're going to look back at this, like when they were younger. Like when they're older, like, wow, when I was younger, I really went through all of this. Right. We have Rico and Fullerton on the line. Rico, what's that, Rico? Buenos Aires, guys. Buenos Aires again. What's that Rico?
Starting point is 01:30:29 Rico. Talk to us. I wanted to say, I actually wanted to say thank you all for last week because I actually helped a lot of people in the DM. even though me and Greg's going back and forth. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on, Rico, I put it on hold. I put it on hold, I put it on. I remember.
Starting point is 01:30:47 RICO, let's get the gloves out. Hold on. Greg is ready. Hold on. What was happening? Last week, Giselle. I wanted to help her, so, no, he said I want to bring help to alert.
Starting point is 01:31:01 I need a, I need a. Last week, Giselle hit us up. Yes. Something was going on with her man or her man or, on and off, hung out with her home girl. Yeah, it was an update. She got dropped by everybody. Then she gave an update, like, oh, my life is kind of like, I got known right now.
Starting point is 01:31:15 So then Rico calls it, and he was like, hey, like, I went to the same thing. But a girl did it to me. And just so you know, things get better, I have my own house now. I'm like a stunt guy. Like, I've been in the, in authority services. Like, he's been a cop. He's been in SWAT. And then he's like, slide into my D.
Starting point is 01:31:34 Yeah, but if you need help, I'm here for you. Which is basically the same thing that Greg did to her because he's in her DMs too, but it's just he went about it the wrong way. I didn't have to be like, oh, I dress up as a cop and a firefighter to do that. Like, oh, I'm offering therapy to anyone. Rico called him to say that he, like when he, right now, that he's been helping hell of people, which means he's been. Wow. So he's playing as a therapist now too then. First a cop, first a fire and then a firefighter.
Starting point is 01:32:00 Oh, he's giving his. He's giving his shoulder. Yeah, because he went through it. Your head on my. My shoulder. Trying to be an actor. That's what he's doing. Leave him.
Starting point is 01:32:11 Rico. Okay. Okay. Sorry, Rico. I had to do the whole recap. Yeah, yeah. Thank you, Lepie. I guess it was good.
Starting point is 01:32:15 I knew that. I knew Gregorio was going to say some. So I was like, let me get it off the stuff right now. And it was so funny because in the midst of all this, Greg and Maximore in Vegas. Yeah. I just pot Greg and Maximo love. They're like, oh, brother. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:30 I saw, I saw the little video that they posted too. A little video. A little. Rico's talking best. Yeah. But no, I just, I just want to shout y'all out because actually there was three dudes that was in my DMs that actually two of them telling me that they're starting to do therapy because their girl did them dirty. So even though Gregorio doesn't think it helps, you know what I mean? I had females, but then I had those three males.
Starting point is 01:32:55 So those three dudes, shout out to them. Do your next steps. But I have a lot to attack. I love it. Rico's men's group. I love it. Yeah. But when it comes to this immigration, an all seriousness, as I'm proud after Latino, my parents, both immigrants, when they came to the country, worked three jobs each.
Starting point is 01:33:18 As a young, I've six years old, I was left at the house with my sister until my grandma came a year later. So I first want to say what the statement is that this country was built off the backs of immigrants, all right? I don't care what people, especially, I have acquaintances, I say the same thing, like, oh, they need to go back, this and that's not, blah, blah. At the end of the day, the only people that can say anything are Native Americans from here, right? Everyone else, we came to this land, we put our forefathers, our ancestors, whatever the case may be, they put the hard work to see where this country is now. And if you are one of those people that are shaming or you're talking bad or you're saying that they need to be sent back, you need to look at, where you come from because you are not from this land. No one is from this land unless you're actually Native American.
Starting point is 01:34:08 And so I have a family that are lawyers. And I want to tell a situation that happened last week with a family friend of mine. Unfortunately, his DIA works somewhere where I will not say in Rolling Heights. Pretty much, they kind of did like a checkup, right? And before this whole situation was happening, luckily they have a lawyer. in that family as well. So they have already known like the situation with the whole administration, what's going to happen next, et cetera, et cetera.
Starting point is 01:34:38 And this is what I'm going to tell most of yours. If your parents, if your kids or whoever it may be done, they don't speak proper English or they don't speak English at all. These cards that they filled out helped them a lot. So pretty much what they did is they wrote on a card for the D.F., which was that she's not giving out her information. There is no warrant for her. She's going to remain silent and use the fifth of a minute.
Starting point is 01:35:06 And if they do come back to speak to her, that one, they need to have a warrant. And then two, that they need to have her lawyer presence. Wow. This helps a lot because especially with people who have parents, family members, whoever may be, it can even be your neighbor who don't speak English at all, writing this on a card, on a paper, having them carried around them, right, will help them. The reason why this daycare, Rolling Heights, got rolled up on a check in, and pretty much the officers, or unquote, because I don't know all the specifics, but it was they didn't present themselves as iced and they didn't present themselves the proper way. What they did is they came in there.
Starting point is 01:35:49 They were trying to ask people information for pretty much their names, how long they were working there. And luckily, Estia at the time had this in their purse. They rolled up on her and they asked her questions. She does not speak very much English. She only has an English that carries her off. She pulled out the card handed it to them. Luckily, the director wasn't there, but I guess rolled five minutes. Came to the scene.
Starting point is 01:36:12 Those officers then left her alone. Yeah. Spoke to the director. The director at that time was pretty much saying, look, you guys don't have a warrant. You guys don't have this. You guys could not be on the premises. We're not going to give you any information of the people who work here, etc., etc. And those individuals had to leave.
Starting point is 01:36:28 And they luck, right? Wow. But what I'm saying is to prepare yourself, your family, your friends, whoever you need needs to be, know your rights. The first thing I would tell people is remain calm, tell them to remain calm, even if they don't know English at all. The one thing is that they're going to look for is people that are rattled, people that are nervous, people that have anxiety, right? The nervousness is what's going to give them, get it away. It's going to pressure the officers, whoever they is, questioning them, pressuring them, And that's going to make the situation even harder for them.
Starting point is 01:36:59 And so intimidate them, right? The second thing is, know your rights. Tell them the rights, write it on the paper in English or Spanish, just so that they have it. If you need to practice it to go over with them and just do that. And then for some people, like I said, for this family friend, luckily they wrote it down for that Pia. Do it for whom, how many people you know that you know that are not here documented. Have them carry that around. Have one in the purse.
Starting point is 01:37:24 Have one in the wallet. Have one in the car. because you never know when they're going to need it. And luckily for her in this situation, she already knew what was going to happen. Yeah. She was not rivaled. She did not.
Starting point is 01:37:35 She pulled it out. She gave it to them. She kept quiet. She didn't say a word. And even though they kept asking her and stuff, asking her to stuff, asked her stuff, they all just waited until the director showed up. And when the director showed up,
Starting point is 01:37:46 they were like, hey, we need you guys to leave. There's no warrant here. We don't know what this is. Even if it's a checkup, we need some type of documentation from a judge or stuff, etc. So, and I will just say with this last, but not least, um, yesterday, seeing everything that went down in downtown LA and the freeways or whatnot, I am, like I said, I'm not, um, Mexican, but like I said, I am apolepino. My parents are proven. So being proven in black, I do want
Starting point is 01:38:13 my black friends. I do want the people from DLM when they saw that La Raza was there with them. When that happened, I need brown and black people to be in those next marketing. And those next protests to show unity because they do not think everyone is secured. If this one group of people are going to become, they're going to come after, they're going to come after a next group because at the end of the day, what we're going through and we've seen the division and separation with this administration, just hold it down, keep each other accountable. If you see your friends talking mess, kind of remind them like, hey, I have a family member or my parents were immigrants.
Starting point is 01:38:50 They worked hard to be here. now they're citizens. At the end of the day, she said, Pue de carrajo, because I am very proud seeing how everyone's standing up for this. Yeah. Shout out you.
Starting point is 01:39:01 Shout out Rico. Shout out, man. Big up to all of our family and friends from there. Yes. Okay, I am so like, duh, that's such a great idea hearing what he said. The card, yes.
Starting point is 01:39:13 And I know there's kids listening to and you may feel like, how can I help my mom and dad or my Tilos? Hey, let's get that art and craft paper out and you can write. I can't, I don't want to speak to you you don't have a warrant we'll get like the actual verbiage out
Starting point is 01:39:28 that you can write or print out and then you can add and you smell at then or whatever you can but they can they can give it to and this might help them because they don't know what to say and even if you say Tia say this it's a piece of paper it's better to have that piece of paper and I know there's people
Starting point is 01:39:44 doing the piece of paper of your rights but in order to like should you come across hand them this yes oh my God that just blew my mind Makes it way easier and safer. We got to figure out that template so that we can do that. And also, again, I want to always show love to our black brothers and sisters that not for nothing have set up, organized and helped their own community within the civil rights movement that loki gave a blueprint of how you get this stuff across. And guess what?
Starting point is 01:40:12 Marching and protesting as much as people think won't help or solve anything. It has. That's the way of America. Yeah. To stay. Because you know what? Doesn't help anything? Staying quiet.
Starting point is 01:40:23 That don't help nothing. That'll let people make your rules for you. I do see a lot of brotherhood within the black community. I do not want to say that they are against us. I do also see the negative comments and the divisive comments. I see that too. I personally don't know any black person. I know a lot of black people.
Starting point is 01:40:40 I don't know any of them that are like, yeah, y'all got to go. If anything, I've seen them be like, are you guys okay? You know, and checking in. So that's what I am going to to, to, to, lean in on. And if you have someone, and I guarantee you, a lot of times we go at each other when we don't know each other. Have some black homies.
Starting point is 01:40:59 Go talk to somebody that's black. Go talk to someone that's Mexican. Go talk to someone that's undocumented. Have that rapport and that conversation. So one, you're not yelling at each other and dissing each other. And two, you're actually trying to understand each other. Often the people that are talking smack are also people that have no, like, dog in this race. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:18 That have nothing, no sense of love. one that is someone that's affected by it. That was a lot. A lot. It's a lot. We are still taking your calls and coming up at 9 a.m. We will be doing our own sign of resistance to the cause. We will be going off air on Power 106 coming up at 9 a.m.
Starting point is 01:41:44 to show our love and our support to all of those that are choosing not to go to school, not to go to work, and not to spend today for a day. for a day without an immigrant to show our love and solidarity with you. Honestly, anyone in radio will tell you not to do this. We will be going off there for a short amount of time. Well, they told us on to do this. Yeah, I know. But I think it's important for you guys to see that, hey, even if this costs us ratings today,
Starting point is 01:42:12 even if this costs us people tuning out because they hear nothing, I want you to know, and it's our sign of, hey, we're with you. coming up at 9 a.m. We're Brownback Mornings. We have decided to come on air today to show love and support to all those affected by what's going on with these immigration ice raids. And while policies are being worked on and litigated and the courts and all of that, the fear that our people are feeling are very real.
Starting point is 01:42:43 Not just today, it seems like people are not showing up to work, but period, as it relates to farm workers and construction workers and all of these industries. that are going to be affected by the mass fear that people feel. My job is not to continue the fear. My job is not to fight about these policies. My job and what I know my purpose is and what I know God brought me on this earth to be is to send love to those affected. My heart is with you.
Starting point is 01:43:09 I hope for a better life for all of us. You know, I look beyond in my whole life. And I'm sure you could see through lives of your own Angie, Maximo, Greg, Jose in here, our guy umberto on phones and and you listening i'm sure that you could look back at life and look back at times where you've seen this directly affect either your family or someone that you care about yeah and when you think back on all of that and you understand dang i don't want this to continue neither do we you know we talk about uh immigration and it's such a talking point and it's such a debate but there's so many real lives real lives that have wanted more for themselves and that's all
Starting point is 01:43:46 that i've seen within my family with you within my friends who choose to be here and should be given the love and the freedom to continue expressing themselves. The political part of the immigration and it always trips me out because it's like you really think about it. It's not just a word, it's not just a sentence to say, bro, we were all, we're all immigrants. There was no date where it stopped and it was like, hey, from this point on, people that coming to this country are immigrants and those of us that immigrated here are not immigrants.
Starting point is 01:44:22 Like, you know, we talk about birthright citizenship and I see people that are like, yeah, it's like if you were born in a hospital that doesn't make you a doctor, why does you born in America make you a U.S. citizen? And then I'm like, okay, what made you a U.S. citizen? Yeah. Oh. Oh. What gave you that?
Starting point is 01:44:39 No, no. What made them a U. No, you're right. That I was born here, same, sis. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Or what is it because the color of your skin or? the origin of where your family comes from is different than mine,
Starting point is 01:44:52 y'all have birthright citizenship too. Yeah. You know, I saw something on the, because it's part of the 14th Amendment, the birthright citizenship. And that was partly, well, that was definitely made because of slavery. And, you know, when people were brought in from Africa, not wanting to, they did not choose to jump on that boat and come to America and be slaves, right? However, they were treated as property.
Starting point is 01:45:14 They weren't treated as citizens. They were treated as like you are not even what a human is, what a person is. I think they're like your three-fourths of a man. It got really literally written down and accepted as truth. So the 14th Amendment came in and said, no, if they're born here, they are citizens of the United States. And that goes out to our black brothers and sisters that can say that there are U.S. citizens because of that birthright citizenship that did come from slavery and how they were once told they are not, right? Yeah. And you know, Donald Trump is like, this wasn't how people are using it now is not how it originated.
Starting point is 01:45:52 It originated as for slavery. And it's like, okay, what about all the other laws? Because I guarantee you the right to bear arms was not originated for the kid that goes into schools and shoots it up. It was not originated for that full. It was originated for us during that time and when needed. But it has become a set of our laws. And you guys definitely use that when we're not. not having gun control when we're not having things of that nature because oh we have the second
Starting point is 01:46:19 amendment but the second amendment was not for freaking ar-15s i'm sorry that i'm yelling i should not tell but you go you're making sense we cannot say when something is or oh it's selective it's not what we meant by that no that's literally the constitution those was didn't predict the future and knew knew when it was going to be used in the future no that's what they set the laws on and if we're not using things unless it was how they were first written then maybe we should rewrite that you should rewrite all of it. Maybe we should redo on all of that, including the ones that you're like No, because there's ones that, there's
Starting point is 01:46:50 ones that are definitely, oh yeah, we'll choose this one to stay. This one we don't really have to pay attention to. This one is only for this. So like when they try to loophole, like that's what we set in stone. Yeah. You know? So, clearly frustration, what I
Starting point is 01:47:06 am here to do is send love and show love to people that need it right now, people that are afraid. If you're not afraid, congratulations. Yeah. Like nothing can phase you. There are definitely people that are. Empower 106, thank you so much for allowing us to one be on your radio station representing who we represent.
Starting point is 01:47:27 I've had back and forth with our execs about this moment specifically. And I got no pushback. I got Leti. You guys are meant to be here at this moment to represent what you need to. And here are here. Yeah, take it. So a lot of our community is supporting and is taking part of no work, no school, and no spending today. To show what a day without immigrants is like and how it can affect the economy and how it can affect the workforce.
Starting point is 01:48:03 We as Power 106 and Brown Bag would like to show our solidarity and we will go off air for a moment to show our love and hopefully you could take this time to think about that person. Send love. Hey, if you don't even care about immigrants and you don't care about me or you, send love to someone you do care about. Yeah. But use this time because thoughts have power. Your energy has power. Send love to who you want to send love to.
Starting point is 01:48:31 My love goes to all those affected. And also those that can't understand my English, nor my Spanish, because I know that I'm pocha, you send you so much love. I send you so much strength because there's times where we all. need it and we can use we could use getting it borrowed from someone yeah okay I love you Angie I love you Maximo I love you Greg umberto you all right you're not even if you're the one I yell at the most I would say I love you more than anyone because I yell at you the most it's a mom thing I don't know

We stand with you. Yes, I'm proud to be Mexican. I'm proud to be Salvadorian, and I'm proud to be American and able to speak on Power 106
Starting point is 01:49:27 to my Latino community, to my black community, to my white community, to everybody that listens to power and loves hip-hop. Shout out to Lefty, SM, RIP, man. Shout out to Santa Feclan. This song has become a protest song and it has right, and it's so beautiful,
Starting point is 01:49:42 and it makes me feel so powerful. It does. I had to play it. Thank you. Thank you for that. I want to listen to it again. And I got the curse words out too. Shout out to Jorge Power Vision.
Starting point is 01:49:50 Yeah. It was so hard. Yeah. Because I'm like, oh my gosh. I got nervous on one of them. I'm like, oh, my God. Sometimes I don't know what's like if it's actually a curse word or just like a slaying. Like a slang kind of word, you know?
Starting point is 01:50:03 And there was this part where in this song, the bars, bro, the bars. They were talking, you know, I think it was lefty was talking about how, not to be confused with lefty gumplay, by the way. This lefty SM. Yeah. But he was talking about I got pulled over by the cops. I don't got nothing on me but my presence. What you, like, come on, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:24 Get at me, bro. I know you're threatened by my presence. I know that you are threatened by our presence. Yep. But that will not be the reason why we stop. Mm-hmm. That sounds like a you problem. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:38 Deal with it. Keep it here. I'm two turns. Okay. Andrew Lamar, not like a shout-out mustard. Mm-hmm. Yes. It won song of the year.
Starting point is 01:50:46 It won record of the year. It won rap song of the year. Yep, rap song. Rap music video, rap performance. Music video and best rap performance. Wow. Jeez. Five.
Starting point is 01:50:56 One disc song. Yes. I love it. Yeah. Shout out to Kendrick Lamar. Sweet that. I loved his, I loved everything about yesterday. And you know what tripped me out because a lot of these categories, he was nominated up against, like, Billy Eilis.
Starting point is 01:51:12 Yeah. Yeah. Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Beyonce. These were all, like, low-key, his, I guess, his competition within the category. But when they announced him, even they were turning up. They were like, yep. Taylor Swift was turned. Taylor, I love, I think that these awards shows are Taylor's favorite thing.
Starting point is 01:51:30 I think so, too. She's like, I can see all my friends. I can turn out. I could just see just Taylor, like, being like a little host of whatever award show. I feel like she's such a workaholic. Like, this is probably like her, like, let me. enjoy this is her clubbing
Starting point is 01:51:45 and it was just beautiful Greg you have some audio to share with this right? I have when Kendrick got the record of the year speech I need to hear it It's funny because like when I was watching him He seemed just so happy like a little kid Like on stage listen to this
Starting point is 01:51:59 First and foremost All praise to the most high We woke up this morning Rest in Paradise Monty Sharon She transitioned yesterday So this is special right now You know She probably
Starting point is 01:52:12 you know watching it from up there so make sure y'all got y'all's your smiles on right you know make it feel good dray what's up we're going to dedicate this one to the city compton watts yeah long beach inglewood hollywood out to the valley paucamo i i e san bernadino all that this is this is my my neck of the woods that held me down since a young pup You know, since I was in the studio Scrapping the write the best Raps and all that, you know, to do records like these. So we're going to keep rocking.
Starting point is 01:52:50 My boy, must, where are you at, man? What's up? I ain't got nothing to say but West Saeed. Come on. I just got to say, For all those people that always say, the Valley is in Atlanta. The goat Kendrick said it himself.
Starting point is 01:53:10 The goat shouted out the Valley. He shouted out the Valley. I'm with you. I'm with you. And he said the I, too. Yeah. Because Eddie's really long. Is Samar Dino?
Starting point is 01:53:19 That's far. He did. And he's not here to say Sanana. Yeah, I was all sad. I'm like, he's going to see him. Oh, yeah, he's going to see him. And he's going to see him. But I get it, I get it.
Starting point is 01:53:29 They are late. They were late. No, that was tight. I guess just hearing it and hearing him dedicate to us, it feels like we want to, you know, all the different areas. Like, included. Yeah. And it does feel like the areas that are unseen. And of course, as you should, shouting out, Crampton, Juan, Slog Beach.
Starting point is 01:53:45 Very much deserved. Very much a part. part of his story, but understanding he sees way beyond that too and his understanding of all the stuff that all his writers come from so many of these different, not writers, like writer, he owned. Writers, like, writer die. Like, um, they come from all of these different areas. So that's really important.
Starting point is 01:54:05 Yeah. That was so tight. And do you see that if he wanted in a Canadian tuxedo? Oh, I love that. Supposed he a Canadian tuxedo is jean on g. Gene on gene. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:15 And he wore that while he accepted his awards. I love that. And the speech didn't end there. He got another speech for a song of the year that everybody's loving as well. Listen to this. All right. Come on, man. Dianna Rock.
Starting point is 01:54:29 Come on, man. Hey, I'm stars. You know I got to do it, right? My mom and my sister here is their first award show. Miko, my girl, Brittany. And somebody get the broom out. Part two. And not like us.
Starting point is 01:54:58 This is what is about, man, because at the end of the day, nothing more powerful than rap music. I don't care what it is. We are the culture that's going to always stay here and live forever. And to the young artists, like my man Punch Day, I just hope you respect the art for him. That's all. Respect the art for him.
Starting point is 01:55:16 Get you where you need to go. All right, salute. I appreciate y'all. Love y'all. Respect, man. Respect king. He dedicated that one, too, to Whitney, his wife. or fiancé, Whitney.
Starting point is 01:55:27 I don't know. I know a relationship, but I also don't know Maximum and his girl's relationship. Just like Kendrick. They're probably California married too. For her see-walking in the video, she's like, this goes to Whitney. She was all dancing in the video.
Starting point is 01:55:38 The beginning, because Diana Ross is the one that gave him the award. He's like, he keeps looking around like, oh my God, it's Diana Ross. Respectly, when Diana Ross came out to announce that certain category, again, everyone that's nominated lit up. Like, I saw Billy Elish trip out.
Starting point is 01:55:53 Sabrina Carbanger was crying. So everyone's tripping out. This is the legend Diana. Diana Ross. And then when Kendrick got it, I was like, oh my God. This is like a fairy tale. Right. There's moments.
Starting point is 01:56:03 There's moments where you're like, bro, is this real? And I'm sure that was one for him. I saw a meme that said like, dang, Drake got beat by this little cutie putti. His little face is so happy. Even though they were saying how like Drake must have so many like low-key ops because everyone's screaming.
Starting point is 01:56:24 Dude, minor. Everybody in that. Yeah. And then some people that didn't care, like Taylor, like, I don't care. You put me in a Taylor made freestyle. Like, Drake had inserted her into the beef and the back and forth. That's why she's so happy. You're right.
Starting point is 01:56:37 Let's go. She's turning up for Kendrick. She loves Kendry. And then we got to give a big shout out to Dochi for making history. Dude, that was big. Winning Best Rap album, which only three women have won. Cardi B. Lauren Hill, and she joined that list as well. incredible list and though she's well deserved and she deserves it and you know I remember um I'm
Starting point is 01:56:59 the one that told you guys that album was really good and I was like talking you guys about the different characters that she has and the storytelling denial of her yeah yep letty send why don't you guys just listen to me why don't you just listen to her album like every like when how long did it take you guys to the new bad bunny album after I told you guys listened to this album yeah it took me a bit well it was on the weekend I was playing oh no what I'm not Look at me. Oh, no, what? Faye Webster.
Starting point is 01:57:25 Everybody listen to Faye Webster. Oh. My son put me on. My son put me on. He's my ghost opinioner. No, the Grammys went down and it was so tight. It was good to see. It was full, full of love.
Starting point is 01:57:38 And just that, I guess everybody just turning up for what this past year in music has been. Yeah. And it's cool that not like us, one, often what we see, like someone brought up, how good kid in my city didn't want a grammy when it drop. That was that whole Maclemore situation. Oh, yeah. Where McElmore's like, it should have been you. bro, texting him afterwards. But we see great bodies of work that do not get that acknowledgement.
Starting point is 01:58:00 So for not like us, it's like the score to be settled this time and for him to get the true acknowledgement that he deserves. And Beyonce, too, who has been nominated time and time again, but has never one album of the year. She's deserved it hell of times. But this time was the one that she wanted. That was awesome too. She was even shocked. I don't know if you guys saw the face.
Starting point is 01:58:20 She became like a little me because she really. really didn't expect it. Yeah, her reaction. That was your one country album. She's like, yeah, she's like, what?
Starting point is 01:58:26 Yeah, go and look at blue. And big shout to Charlie XXX. What's up, girl? Nice performance.
Starting point is 01:58:32 You did good. You did good. You look nice out there. Oh. Okay. What song? The first. He don't know.
Starting point is 01:58:39 She just looked good out there. What's up? Is Brad a good thing or bad thing? I don't know, but. Oh. I love a dude. I've been told I'm a brat before.
Starting point is 01:58:48 What? I'll be her brat. You're annoying. You're not a brat. You are annoying. What's up? This is Be Real from Cypress Hill. Where are you from, Esse?
Starting point is 01:58:57 Don't you know I'm local? Luca. Luca. Luca. Luca. Luca. Luca. Luca.
Starting point is 01:59:05 Yes. Is the Laker. Woo! I'm doing a round of applause. I have to turn up. My guy, Victor is not here, and he is my die-hard, faithful Laker fan. I'm a new Laker fan. You're a new Laker fan.
Starting point is 01:59:18 You're a new Laker fan. Angelica, I see you with a Laker sweater. I hope. This is one that you bought from official. It is, it is. It is. It is. Oh, it's the official marriage.
Starting point is 01:59:27 Oh, wow. A little janky. We'll touch the print. Maximo, our Clipper fan is going to try his best to dampen the mood. No, no, no, no. It's still a big trade. I love Luca, like, as a player. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:40 Like, he is an amazing basketball player. It's a generational talent. Mm-hmm. A licority. Wow. You know what are you? What are you thinking about? So, me and Maximur were in Vegas when this happened, right?
Starting point is 01:59:51 And I said it out last. I was like oh look good to the Lakers. Oh, that'll never happen. That's like never impossible. Like what are the odds of that? Blah, blah, blah, blah, right? And then five minutes later, Maximol said, oh, it actually did happen.
Starting point is 02:00:02 A lot of people didn't think that it was real. I believe it's an insider and NBA insider by the name of Shane something. Shams. Shams. I don't know. See? See? I'm just a girl.
Starting point is 02:00:12 But he had reported it. And then people were like, no, someone, someone hacked him. It's not real. But then it turned out to be real. They traded Anthony Davis amongst other people. Yeah, a few of the younger talent. The second round picks. Not Brony though.
Starting point is 02:00:31 Right? Not Brony. Not Brony. Brony didn't get traded. In order to get Luca. And it seems like who's tripping out the most are Mavs fans. Right? They're mad.
Starting point is 02:00:42 Because they lost him. I've even seen videos of them taking, like they put flowers outside the stadium as if Luca had. They even took a, I swear to God I saw this. They took a casket. Oh my. To the front. You're kidding. I swear.
Starting point is 02:00:55 There's people like boyc- Like they're hurt. Boycotts as well. There's people that are like extremely upset that were outside like just screaming. Yeah. And I mean when you truly think about it, it's rare for a sports team to find a player this great. Yes. And this trade happening is honestly like from left field.
Starting point is 02:01:18 Like it's a surprise for everybody. It doesn't really make sense to anybody either. and I think he's a young kid right he's 25 years old so imagine Kobe being traded at 25 this is something that shouldn't happen this is this is who you're like building the team around who you're setting up to be like the star of the franchise for a long time yeah I don't think there's really been a like shock type of trade since uh not necessarily your trade but like moving in basketball I will say this kind of just being again I'm not the sports person yeah since LeBron left the cabs to go to the Miami since
Starting point is 02:01:50 the Brown left the Cavs the first time, the way that that trip people out and the way Cavs fans were acting and then the way Miami fans were cheering is similar to now where Luca and the Mads fans are like, they're going through like such a, like a tragedy for themselves. Like a whole breakup. This is one of the craziest trades ever. Yeah. Like in NBA history. Somebody tweeted, you can't even make that trade in 2K.
Starting point is 02:02:17 Like the video game. For real? Yeah. Yeah, there's something going on. And then there's also the AD part of it. And AD, I guess, throughout the beginnings of the season or maybe previously he said, we need a big guy. We need someone.
Starting point is 02:02:29 Yeah, he wanted to play his natural position. Yes. So he's not playing his natural position. What does that mean? So in the Lakers, he was playing a center, which is like the biggest guy on the court in the sense. Yes, okay. But he's really a power forward. So he's not meant to play that position.
Starting point is 02:02:45 He took that role on, which is not the role that's meant for him. Oh, gotcha. He was a producer. And it's just not his role. Not my role. And so he's like, hey, we need somebody else to be producer. But it would be like if we got rid of him then. They told me, know your role and shut your mouth.
Starting point is 02:03:02 Yeah. So with AD, they just, they're like, oh, you don't want to be sitting right. Get out of here. That's what they're saying. Get out of it. Because somebody on my life put the Lakers treat players like ex-girlfriends. We trade them for less, for someone younger and bomber. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 02:03:18 That's what you guys do? I don't know. But Luca has this esteem about him. He's one of those players that people are, like, I've heard him in raps already. There's people that genuinely like they want to see Luca play. They like how he plays. Oh, he's a beast. And he genuinely loves a sport.
Starting point is 02:03:35 Luca's the one that he just wanted, he didn't want to celebrate after he won. No, that's a... That's Jokic. Jokic. No, Luka, Don... The problem is that... Say his last name for me, brother. Luca?
Starting point is 02:03:47 Donchich. Donchich. The problem is actually that Luca, they say he doesn't take his conditioning serious. So there was even a video where after winning, he was drinking a beer. And the same GM that traded him took it away from him. And it was on video and his reaction was like. Surprise? Like what?
Starting point is 02:04:07 But whatever. Like he like played it off. So they're saying that there was already some tension there. That's where the rift may have started. Because he's not taking his conditioning. Because he's not taking someone's beer away. Yeah. From the, I guess from the team side, you're like, do you're not being?
Starting point is 02:04:19 disciplined and on his side it's like bro i just won you can't like let me celebrate and when i talked to horde him my husband about this you know because i can only get my opinions from a man um he was yeah he was telling me like bro michael jordan was like up there turned up probably reportedly allegedly betting reportedly allegedly drinking and was still like uh-uh-uh i michael jordan this of all time no one has really yet to like surpass the stuff that michael jordan has we have these people we compare him to like a Kobe or LeBron, but like Michael Jordan is still Michael Jordan. But this one was doing it with no,
Starting point is 02:04:53 like I guess now they have stem cell treatments and people like they do massages before all the games. Better shoe quality and everything. Yeah, this one was just showing up like, what's up? Who's trying to go bed after this? Who's trying to go gamble and drink, right? And so Luca kind of may be in that same esteem. I heard like Aunt Edwards and I was watching the thing on Netflix about them
Starting point is 02:05:12 and starting five. He don't really like he's playing video games. He's drinking. He's young. Soda. Like, they're not in that, like, mindset. Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting because older players always, obviously always call out the new era of athletes, like soft.
Starting point is 02:05:27 Because even like Chado Chosinko in football, he said, bro, I grew up eating junk food. I grew up drinking whatever I wanted. And I never gotten hurt. Yeah. He's like, but look at these people. They're training and they're conditioning and then they're injured. He's like, it makes no sense. And really.
Starting point is 02:05:45 They make fun of that one dude. I don't make fun of him. Tell me like the new guys that one rings. Like do you, he's going to come up and like just tell me the main popping ones. Like you're thinking at Edwards, who's Aunt Edwards op? Like who's one of the ones that's his op? I mean, Jokage was probably one of the ones that. Another full.
Starting point is 02:06:03 Another full. Jason Tatum. Tatum. Okay. Jason Tatum is like he's disciplined. He's at the gym. He's like, I'm going to model myself after Kobe. Like he's a kid that was like.
Starting point is 02:06:15 Oh, he did the post. Hoses of the Coke. Yeah, and then everyone thinks he's a square because he's doing that. Yeah. They call him soft. But he's the one that's like, oh, I'm just going to always be in the gym. Yeah. And I'm going to, my diet.
Starting point is 02:06:26 And then meanwhile, Edward's like drinking soda, playing 2K or whatever. Yeah. And then jokies over here. I mean. Jokies don't want to celebrate. And then Don Chitch is over here. Dr. Dr.
Starting point is 02:06:37 Dr. Yeah. Yeah. It's a trip. It's a trip. It's funny. I kind of like it. I feel like that's like us, Lithee.
Starting point is 02:06:42 I'm over here like, hey, let's have a beer. You're like, no, we need to lock in. And they're like, oh, never mind. It's all right. You just killed it. You just made me mad. But shout out to Luca, too. One video that's making the round is when he and the NBA were in Mexico,
Starting point is 02:06:58 and they were in the Ciudad of Mexico. And his Spanish is so good. Check this out. Hello, Mexico. How are you? It's a pleasure for us to be here. Much of our recidement. And I hope that they enjoy the game.
Starting point is 02:07:16 And one more. Wea Mexico, way. Bro. That's our fire right now. If they were worried about his conditioning and he's coming over here, he's about to eat. Oh, it's going to be bad. It's not going to be bad. And he knows the language.
Starting point is 02:07:31 I'm like, oh, why do you know Spanish so well? He knows like the Spanish and Spanish. Yeah. Como stay? It's nice. Yeah. They said also in South America. I'm excited to be a Laker fan now.
Starting point is 02:07:41 Talk to Mexico. What would you say to Mexico? Like, if you were. Like, for real, for real. If you were Donchich. Uh, so the Mexicana. I'm excited to welcome him to the team. I do still feel for AD and I did see LeBron because a lot of people were putting
Starting point is 02:07:58 that it's LeBron. LeBron posted his story and sending love to AD like I'm going to see you soon. That's so sad. Go kill it over there, bro. Shut up. He's all mad. No, but even that treat alone. Everybody knows.
Starting point is 02:08:14 What? What? I don't like it. That's serious. I don't like that. Everyone knows who makes a decision. No. Especially when you got a players coach.
Starting point is 02:08:22 Come on. You think JJ Redick is telling them what to them? I don't know. See, I don't like this because there are other industries where someone, everyone thinks that they know everything and they know who gets fired and then they get playing. And they didn't know anything at all. There is? Yeah. There is an industry like that?
Starting point is 02:08:39 Where? Shut up! What would that ever happen? Heavy is the head is all I got to say. Heavy is the head. Yeah. That would never have. Shut up.
Starting point is 02:08:48 Shut up. Oh, yeah. No. Did you say the bronze head is heavy? It is heavy. What? That's crazy. What?
Starting point is 02:08:55 What? What are you talking about? What? What are you talking about? But see, there's this thing. I guess there's places, there's things that maybe you don't know. Because I'm going to,
Starting point is 02:09:02 I'm going to lean on the side of LeBron Park didn't know. Yeah, just like because like Bronny there's so many minutes, right? Well, I don't know about that one. Heavy is a head. You're not different. You're not. But you know what?
Starting point is 02:09:15 So in our crew, I'm like the mom. And to everybody. I know everything power 106 is doing. Wait, this was about you? Shut up, because I know why you're laughing. You're King James?
Starting point is 02:09:25 No. Why? Why don't know. We're not here. So who's the... I didn't know. No, Duno was going to make that joke about Oscar Delo. I'm kidding.
Starting point is 02:09:31 Wait, Dunoz-D? Wait, Duloz-D? You guys are annoyed. Yeah, and you're freaking Luca, food. Look what I got. Everybody's high. I drink soda. You did drink soda.
Starting point is 02:09:42 Yeah, he is pretty unhealthy. Yeah. Actually, yeah. But I think it may... I think that's a narrative. LeBron knew he had to have known. Yeah, I saw that tweet going around. So he may have made the decision or he, you got him angry.
Starting point is 02:09:55 That's why you're gone. What? That's wild. I'm excited to be a Laker fan. Yeah. How about the other side, though, for the Mavs? Do you think like the management is going to, or ownership is going to get some type of like, bro, why did you let this full go?
Starting point is 02:10:10 Who do we have now? It's all going to depend. I mean, they honestly, like, the decision wasn't an extremely bad decision. right as far as like what was best for the team now in this in this season but in the long run like you're not finding generational talent like that that's going to be there yeah the franchise player they'll never find that but they have a solid team of older players they have Kyrie Erie I think he was requesting a trader or something I saw the rumor of him him requesting after this news oh really yeah I mean I don't know carrie always request rates play top does he just break up with me then well Kyrie with um and AD, they'll make a solid team.
Starting point is 02:10:49 Nice. He also have Clay Thompson over there, and they have a few young centers that are going to let AD play weight. So there's potential in that team still. Yeah, but it's going to be like a one or two season like thing. It's not going to be for the long run. But I think what the Lakers got out of it is insane. That's like the Shoahe Otani acquisition.
Starting point is 02:11:10 Yeah. Yeah, it is. That's almost like saying like LeBron has like a few years. and then he's the face. Damn. Okay, because I was seeing a lot of it of like what can somebody explain
Starting point is 02:11:23 like in girl terms? Like what is the Luca trade for all the guys? Right? And somebody said it's like trading your Chanel purse for like chips and a chocolate. I mean, that's how they said it. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:11:33 No, I get it. Because right now. Because you may be hungry so you want the chips and chocolate but you're trading an actual Chanel bag. Yeah. That's how I got it. I'm like, oh my God, I'd be pissed too.
Starting point is 02:11:43 I guess so. I guess so. Girl term. Let me, let me. Let me. Okay, there's a lot of girls that they were confused. Yeah, I was. Because you guys were all tripping out over Luca.
Starting point is 02:11:51 Oh my God, Luca. Yeah, and I thought it was like, Luca the movie. I love that movie, by the movie. I do. I watch that movie when I want to get happy. It's a great movie. So it's on a lot. How do Clippers feel about this situation?
Starting point is 02:12:03 I think we're fine. Kawai's back. Kawai's. I'm telling you, we were in Vegas. Trade. He was feeling it? Everybody was talking about it. Everybody.
Starting point is 02:12:12 Yeah. It was hype. Him and Danny is all quiet. Just sitting there. Yeah, that's cool. I don't think he even likes basketball like that. He's a soccer fan. Yeah, he's a galaxy fan.
Starting point is 02:12:22 Yeah, but they're all quiet about it. But everybody around us like, Luca, what? This is happy, what's going on? What number is he? 77. 77. Oh, that's a cool number. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:12:32 I wonder if he'll keep it. Yeah. And I'm saying his name wrong. Luca. Dunchich. He's a baller. I'm not going to say it because he's a baller. Like, I enjoy watching him play basketball.
Starting point is 02:12:43 I'm looking at the jerseys already. Yeah, he's really, really good. Would he make you a Laker fan? No. Yes. You don't think so. No. At all.
Starting point is 02:12:50 It's just like when Greg said he'll buy the Otani Dodger jersey, but he won't. It's a legendary jersey. That's like that's. Same to you? 77 Lakers. And he has a, he's met Kobe before. They're dope. One of the games that Kobe visited, you know how he would go and sit court side, was one that Luca was on.
Starting point is 02:13:10 Okay. And that's even now he changed his Twitter profile or his banner to be him. him and Kobe talking. So cute. So cute. Our little Laker. Well, new championships come in your way in Los Angeles. You know?
Starting point is 02:13:24 Heavy as a head. You just want me to say that. You're just talking about that. Anyway, that was don't you know I'm local. It's amazing. It's great to be from where we are from.
