This is your avenue hit the Venmo. Yes, 69 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: and now for the garnet. The main event of this 70 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: particular the post election week healthscape, gap beat the Low 71 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: and we are unpacking the Latino tote. There is a 72 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: Latino tote that I feel all of our conversations about 73 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: the like latin X participation in this election can fit into. 74 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: And we've been reading about it on Twitter and on 75 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: Instagram and on cable news, hearing like non latin X 76 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: people to talk about the Latin X vote, kind of 77 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: seeing the conversation, UM go on and on and on, 78 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: and we want to unpack the tote here with you 79 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: all today. And I actually think that we need to 80 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: make totes printed that's a Latino vote on them because 81 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: it's like now become a buzzword, it's a trending topic. Absolutely, 82 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: we have definitely kept up with the conversations about the 83 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: Latino vote, the Latin X vote, if you will, and um, 84 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: it's interesting to see non latin X folks or not 85 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: people of color, even mainly white people that have this 86 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: um they talk about the Latino vote, right and especially 87 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: in this election, of the number of Latinos and latin 88 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: X folks that have that showed up for Trump, which 89 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: is its own conversation. But like they failed to mention 90 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: the percentage of white people that voted for Trump. He 91 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: actually you know, went up in percentages of white voters. 92 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: So they need to collect their folks. We need to 93 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: collect our folks, right and everyone at those intersections. But 94 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: it's very interesting to see not to see white people 95 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: talk about the Latino the latin X vote in these ways. Yeah, 96 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: and like you said, white people came out in even 97 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: larger numbers to vote for Donald Trump this election when 98 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: we compare to the sixteen numbers white people, even at 99 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: the white electorate, even post COVID nineteen fiasco, came out 100 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: even stronger for him. And it is bizarre. It's very telling, 101 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: but it also gives us a lot of insight to 102 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: the potential of like a liberal or left leaning electorate 103 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: to really pull together and get something accomplished, like at 104 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 1: the final hour, because it's sort of what we're seeing 105 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: right now, even though there's kind of a little coup 106 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: in progress, like white people came out in larger numbers, 107 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: but we still are beating them, which I think it 108 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,119 Speaker 1: says something. Yeah. Absolutely, And I also think it's really 109 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: important to actually think about the Republicans strategy, and they 110 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,239 Speaker 1: have a really good strategy, whether or not you agree 111 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: with it. We obviously do not lean that way. We're 112 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: very far left in the progressive lane. Um. But one 113 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: of the things when reading about the quote Latino latin 114 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: X vote is that the Republicans targeted or they knew 115 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: to outreach to evangelical Christians that were Latino and they 116 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: knew that. And I think that that's where the Democratic Party, uh, 117 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: the left wing party, really gets it wrong. You know, 118 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: not all Latinos are immigrants and left wing and you 119 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: know wants quote social services right. Um. And that's one 120 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: of the things that I've really been thinking about post election, 121 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: is how the Democratic Party really fails Latinos, and then 122 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: we're expected to just show up for them, for the 123 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: Democratic Party because you know, they have quote our best interests, 124 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: but they don't actually show up for us. And not 125 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: to be forgotten in these conversations, ever, is the reality 126 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: of democratic presidents and democratic like parties for decades now 127 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: having really awful impacts on our communities. And the conversation 128 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: always comes back to immigration, and well, who built the 129 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: cages to begin with that we're talking about today. Those 130 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: were not built under Donald Trump, not all of them. 131 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: You know that that was under democratic leadership. And so 132 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: there are ongoing um harms that have been done and 133 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: are being done by Democrats, and having Democrats in office 134 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: has never necessarily been like a symbol of freedom and 135 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: justice and hope for Latin X communities, like on multiple levels. 136 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: So it's very hard. But I also wanted to be 137 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: over because I want even just the most bare bones 138 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: practical presidential stuff to happen.

So something that's been 160 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: coming up around conversations regarding the Latino vote. Item number 161 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: one to remove from the Latino tote is that by 162 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: demographic Latin X groups voted very differently, did not vote 163 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: as a monolith, which has been pointed out over and 164 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 1: over again forever. I feel like it's always around election 165 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: season that the national conversation spends like thirty seconds on 166 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: Cubans voting very right all the time and leaning right historically. 167 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: So this year that conversation came back around in major 168 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: ways and we were all like, oh my god, Florida, WTF. 169 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: And then we were all like, you know, sucking face palm. 170 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: The Cubans with the Republican asked voting, but they were 171 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: the only ones. They were not the only Latinos who voted. 172 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: Read and so there is this pole provided to us 173 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: by the American Election Eve pole on the National Latino 174 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: vote breakdown, you said, do you want to share some 175 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 1: of these numbers with our listeners because I find them fascinating. Absolutely, 176 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: So breaking it down by region, these aren't very specific. 177 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: Obviously South America is huge, but we see fifty eight 178 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: percent voted for Biden and voted for Trump. Sot of 179 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: South Americans in the US voted for Trump. For Central 180 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: Americans were attent for Biden and ent for Trump. For 181 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: Puerto Ricans, we have sevent for Biden and percent for Trump, 182 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: which is still really high. They're all really high. They're 183 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: all really high, honestly. Um, for Cubans, we have forty 184 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: percent for Biden, fifty two percent for Trump, and mexicanal's 185 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: Mexican Americans cheek Donald's percent for Biden and t for Trump. 186 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: So it's so interesting to see these numbers because, as 187 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: you pointed out, I mean, everybody had above percent at 188 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: least voting read and voting for Donald Trump across the board. 189 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: There's not a ton of specificity in this graph. You know, 190 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: there's folks asked like, where's the Dominican uh polls? Because 191 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: you know, Dominican Americans are significant enough demographic and voting 192 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: block that I think they could have had their own. 193 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, everybody had a sizeable chunk of the voting folks, 194 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: at least of those polled right who voted red. And 195 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: so that's very telling. Absolutely. I mean, one of the 196 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: really fascinating things that I learned a couple of days 197 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: prior to election day what I listened to Lelo podcast 198 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: podcast and they interviewed folks in Florida and they interviewed 199 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: a Venezuelana and she was an undecided voter and This 200 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: was a couple of days before elections. She was undecided, 201 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: and she was saying that her entire family voted for 202 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: Trump because they were because Trump allegedly, I had never 203 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: actually have heard this. I've never seen this actually sourced. Allegedly, 204 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: Trump said that he would help Venezuela if he was elected. 205 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,239 Speaker 1: And so this also goes into a much further conversation 206 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: about misinformation that is spread via Facebook, via What'sapp that's 207 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: owned by Facebook. For folks who don't know, What's App 208 00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: is very prominent in the Latin American communities because it's 209 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: it's free, you don't you can have it on any 210 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: kind of phone, it's not specific to an iPhone or 211 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: a Samsung. You can download it. And so folks talk 212 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: to their family members in Latin America, in the US, 213 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: wherever through What's Up. And there's a lot of misinformation 214 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: spread that way. So I would not be surprised if 215 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: someone doctored a photo where it's set where Trump is 216 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: supposedly saying I'm gonna send aid to Venezuela if I'm 217 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: elected a second term, right, And so folks are also 218 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: thinking about their respective home countries, right, And so it's 219 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: really important to take those things into consideration, whether or 220 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: not you agree with them. I still think it's important 221 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: to know why, like why are Latinos showing up in 222 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: these ways for Trump? And that's what's so great about 223 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: any type of specific data that really breaks things down 224 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: into more recognizable parts than just the sort of bland 225 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: Latin X labeling, because if we look at, for example, 226 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: the folks that vote read more often than any other 227 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: Latin X group, Cubans, right, Cuban Americans, we can talk 228 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: about them specifically and their specific relationship to immigration, their 229 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: specific relationship to race and to economics, and the really 230 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: harsh reality that most Republican wealthy Cuban Americans are descendants 231 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: of slave owners, like quite literally, you know, um plantation 232 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: owners who absolutely did not want to participate in the 233 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: socialist redistribution of unjustly inherited wealth, you know, and then 234 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: fled Cuba and came to the United States. Like these 235 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: are where those interests are coming from. Vastly different than 236 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: I would say, most Central American voters, regardless of age, 237 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: you know, um or how long they've been in the 238 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: United States, they're not. So I think something that we're 239 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: continuing to learn is that we need specificity, We need 240 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: like really deep knowledge of the specific folks and communities 241 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: we're talking about. The r g V came up a 242 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: lot too. The r g V vastly different voting interests 243 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: than Cubans in Florida, but still voting red um in 244 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: many instances. Yeah. Absolutely, thank you for bringing that up. 245 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: It's so true. And the specificity is really important because 246 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: that's how I think that moving forward of folks that 247 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: are running grassroots campaigns or just campaigns in general, like 248 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 1: they really need to know how to reach the quote, 249 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: how to get the Latino vote right and reach Latinos 250 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: like in legit in real ways, and that's really important 251 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: moving forward. It's not just playing fucking Bussito on your 252 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: phone and you know, thinking that all right, I got them. Absolutely, 253 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: that was so that just whatever the context was behind 254 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: that little clip of Joe Biden playing best Bussy Tho 255 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: off his phone and like smiling along and one man 256 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: in the crowd pegging him on it, telling him to dance, 257 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: like there was something going on there, somebody told him 258 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: to do it. But just the little clip itself, it 259 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: just speaks volumes and it doesn't come off right. It 260 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: doesn't look good. I feel like I feel the thing 261 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: here is that no one told him to do it, 262 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: is how I interpreted. I feel like he was just 263 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: trying to be like cool and cute. You know. Oh, 264 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: I know that's bassit though. That's how I interpreted. But 265 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: you know, I could be wrong. I don't know, but yeah, 266 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: you know, I don't really know what to think post 267 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: election in terms of the Latino vote. Um, are we 268 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: over it? I don't know. Should we be over it? 269 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: Maybe not? But I think we do need the specificity, 270 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: Like you're like, you're saying um because, like everyone says 271 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: every single time, we're not a monolith. And so you know, 272 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: playing um selena is not going to resonate in the 273 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: same way for you know, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans on 274 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: the East coast, right, it's not the same, aime, It's 275 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: not the same. And having real people from these communities 276 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: on these campaigns is I think what's going to make 277 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: a big difference. Yeah. And also just you know, I 278 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: would like to start seeing more voting breakdown just based 279 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: on class and income because I think, especially with regards 280 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: to Latin X voters and Latino voters, I think that 281 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,239 Speaker 1: class plays a much bigger role than the polls, and 282 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: the pollsters have been necessarily acknowledging and um, there are 283 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: huge class disparities within the Latino electorate, and I think 284 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: that drives so much of um our voting choices. Also, 285 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: as we tend to hyper focus on religion, I feel 286 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: like folks hyper focus on the single issue religious voters, 287 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 1: and they forget Oh no, they're like literal Latin X millionaires, 288 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,959 Speaker 1: Like can we talk about that? And how they're like 289 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: throwing everybody else under the bus for their tax breaks. 290 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: It's so true. I think that now, granted, there are 291 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: like really loud Latino for Trump supporters. I know that 292 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: they exist. I've seen the homies for Trump page. I've 293 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: seen Chingle Bling, whoa like huge shocked, well not I 294 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: don't know if shocked, but wow, Chinglebling very outright supporting Trump. Um, 295 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: I know, I know. UM, But I think that there's 296 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: also a lot of quiet Latino Trump supporters. And I've 297 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: said it before, and those are the ones that vote 298 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: because of their tax bracket and they vote read for 299 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: those reasons. I like have heard since you know, pre elections, 300 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: I heard from people, not my direct friends, with people 301 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: that I've been around that have made money that are 302 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: like new money Latinos right voting for Trump, But they 303 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: don't say it. You're never gonna see that on their 304 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: social media. You're never going to see them sharing a 305 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: pro Trump Facebook, you know post. But they're there, and 306 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: those are the ones we need to to talk to. 307 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: They're the ones in our families probably maybe yeah, yeah, 308 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: it's it's also it's just it's exhausting because I don't 309 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: know of any argument I can make at this stage 310 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: of the game, right, Like, if everything that has happened 311 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: thus far has not been enough to convince people not 312 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 1: to vote red, I literally don't know what it is. Right. Well, 313 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: I think, like I think that misinformation has a lot 314 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: to do with it, right, And I think that getting that, 315 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: going to the source of that and cutting that and um, 316 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: Twitter has enabled a lot of abuse. But I did 317 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: notice and they had said that they were going to 318 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: be flagging posts that were incorrect, right, that they were 319 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: factually incorrect, which what they what they were doing for 320 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: like all of Trump's tweets post election. Um. But I 321 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: think that there's some serious, serious responsibility that the social 322 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: media apps and so the heads of these networks need 323 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: to like take responsibility for you know, because that misinformation 324 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: is real and that's why you have people believing Trump 325 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 1: said he was gonna help Venezuela. You know, I've like 326 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: seen firsthand the misinformation that's this that is spread on 327 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: WhatsApp when I was in Bideu at the pre pre 328 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: lockdown in Biddeu and my demo was showing me what 329 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: was being shared on his WhatsApp groups and I was like, 330 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: that's wrong, like and I showed him like, this is wrong, 331 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: and I just did a quick google and it It's 332 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: unfortunate that that misinformation is spread, especially in the pandemic, 333 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: especially during an election season. Um, but yeah, the onus 334 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: needs to be on the folks creating the apps that 335 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: are running that that are running the apps. Literally, yeah, 336 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: they absolutely one control the flow of information. They just do. 337 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: Like nothing gets shared on these apps without like the 338 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: main frame supporting it. And there has to be ownership, 339 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, accountability. And Zuckerberg has been 340 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: for I think what feels like years now, been like 341 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: in the hot seat and kind of just tossing his 342 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: hands in the air like well, you know, free market 343 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: concepts applied to social media and propaganda. I am sick 344 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: of their very like angel face dump struck. I'm just 345 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: a young white boy that it doesn't know better. I 346 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 1: don't know, I d k. I'm innocent. I'm a cherub. 347 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: Don't get mad at me. I just want everyone to 348 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: participate freely. I don't buy it. Shut up. I mean 349 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: if you just think about if you when you really 350 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: know that Facebook was started as a way to rate women. 351 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: I mean that tells you everything you need to know 352 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: about where these people stand when it comes to doing 353 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: anything morally correct. His bowl cut tells me everything that 354 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: I need to know about his ability to his little 355 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: wa uttery little frog eyes. I can sit here and 356 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: say like I hate him. I hate Mark Zuckerberg. Yeah, 357 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna go back to the Reptilian conspiracy. 358 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: They throw back to the beginning of twenty different Lighter Times. 359 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: It's like Mark Zuckerberg is singlehandedly contributing to the creation 360 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: of an environment so toxic that only reptilians can survive it. Girl, Yes, 361 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: you said a mouthful there. Yes, I think that's what's 362 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: happening here. Girl, so bad, I know, speaking speaking of um, 363 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: I want to I want I want to plug because 364 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: since the pandemic or I don't even know, maybe it 365 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: just a month ago. I don't even know the timeline anymore. 366 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: But I have been learning more about cyber security or 367 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: doing my best to learn about cybersecurity, and so I 368 00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:00,959 Speaker 1: wanted to plug. Cyber Collective Org it's woman immigrant owned 369 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: and they share all these like cybersecurity tips. So if 370 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: that's something that interests you, if you want to learn 371 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: how to make your social media you safer. Plug um 372 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: connecting to public wifis don't do that, is what I learned. 373 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: It's always connecting to Starbucks and coffee Bean. Don't be 374 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: doing that. Apparently, take your by your own hotspot. Yeah, 375 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: so head that way if that's something that you're interested in. 376 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: God the US is so just say yes. Can I 377 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: just say? There are places in the world, like in Mexico. 378 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: You can go to Mexico City and all the BLESSI 379 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: thousands stuff have public WiFi and in the parks and things, 380 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: and like in everyone everywhere else besides here, it's like 381 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: WiFi is just like a given, and here it's like, 382 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: oh no, your WiFi is gonna give your phone a disease. 383 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: It will ruin your life. Don't do it. Don't do it. 384 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: But it's a good resource. Thank you for sharing it. Yeah, 385 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: come bat, we're at the end of that. Hit me today, 386 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: like obviously I know we're in November, but I'm like, 387 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: oh my God, is literally here tomorrow. And that caused 388 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of anxiety because we really have spent 389 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: the majority of the year in this limbo of kind 390 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: of on lockdown, kind of not really. People are still 391 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: objecting on wearing masks, people are still getting together, and 392 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: now we're at the holiday season and the bar is 393 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: so low that we just want a presidential leader to 394 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: be able to lead. Literally, that is it. Like I 395 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: don't expect, you know, President Biden to come in and like, Okay, 396 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: it's all over, everything is normal again. Absolutely not, And 397 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: I think to expect that is somewhat naive, But I 398 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: do expect some type of leadership, right that there will 399 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 1: be a policy implemented and a plan event it as well. 400 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm I'm just you know, trying to write 401 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: out the rest of as safely as possible. Agreed, I 402 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: agree completely right out the year. Make it to next 403 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: year hopefully better off, right, better off next year than 404 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: we have been this year, and I think that having 405 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: a shift in leadership might at the very least boost 406 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: some morale, you know what I mean. UM, And I 407 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: think we'll take whatever wins we can get at this point. 408 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: But locally, we had a really big win with Measure J. 409 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: Measure J passed and that is um a piece of 410 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: legislation that promises a big chunk of money to go 411 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: into resources services for historically marginalized and under resourced communities 412 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: of color in l A. And um, it's money that 413 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: is guarantee ead like for for a lifetime, and the 414 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 1: city council like can't cut it or get rid of it. Uh. 415 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: We spoke with Fernandez, who was one of the basically 416 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: the architects of Measure J, who was really working on 417 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: it and pushing it and getting it on the ballot 418 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 1: and uh, really using the power of social media and 419 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 1: like local media outlets not unlike look at the Right 420 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: to get the word out. And the sheriffs put a 421 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,719 Speaker 1: lot of money into fighting against Measure J, with a 422 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: lot of really like melodramatic like TV ads and things 423 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: showing like helicopters on fire, like all emergency services are 424 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: going to be destroyed, and just defunct forever um, but 425 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: it's still one even in spite of like you know, 426 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: big money from the sheriffs. So that's that was an 427 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: exciting local victory. Um. I was happy to see that happened. Yeah. Additionally, 428 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: a local victory for l A was District Attorney Gascon 429 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: being elected and Jackie Lacy is now out, and that 430 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: was a really big win and definitely all credit to 431 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: the Black Lives Matter movement and chapter that really put 432 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: pressure on gascone to hold l A p D accountable, 433 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: to hold police police officers accountable. And also that we're 434 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: protesting outside of Jackie Lacy's house for months, you know, 435 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: and we're at her office and we had their list 436 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: of demands. So that's definitely a big win for l 437 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: A as well. Yeah. Absolutely, And as far as Jackie 438 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: Lacy goes, you know, I also I am just let's 439 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: see what the new d A does, because the position 440 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: of d A itself is not like a position that 441 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: is designed with like the purposes of liberation and like 442 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: racial justice and mind. So we'll see what a new 443 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: person does in the office. But the office itself is 444 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: very tainted in this city, especially when it comes to 445 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: the lack of prosecution, the lack of prosecuting killer cops 446 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: and police officers, l apt officers who basically terrorize black 447 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: and brown and homeless people in l A and have 448 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: been doing so for years. Um. I mean, like you know, 449 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: Roddy King happened in l A. Like this is historically 450 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: a bad place as far as bringing justice against police. Absolutely, 451 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: I mean Georgia Gascon is a former police officer, like 452 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: he was a chief deputy I believe so, or chief 453 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: of police and so yeah, it goes without saying that. 454 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: There is definitely pause. People are not like super people 455 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: are excited in the sense that Jackie Lacy was voted out. 456 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: But people of course are gonna have I think, have 457 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: their guard up about Gascon and basically are going to 458 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: see if he's gonna walk the talk. Yes. My other 459 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: question with regards to elections is where is GARCETI gonna 460 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: be and when is he is he gonna Is he 461 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: gonna bounce and go join the Biden cabinet? And what's 462 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: that handover going to be like? And who does he 463 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: hand us over to and how does that happen? And 464 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: is it a good thing for us? Is it a 465 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: bad thing? For us because we're still in a pandemic 466 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: and everything is trash, Like it's just how is it 467 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: gonna work? I personally think he's gonna leave. I think 468 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna leave, and I think that that could be 469 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: a good thing because he has really mishandled homelessness in 470 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: l A County and there's that, you know, But then 471 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: we're also in a pandemic and so it's like it's 472 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,239 Speaker 1: part of it is like okay, cool, good riddance, Like 473 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: you didn't really lead l A. There were some good things, 474 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: there were some not you know, negative things, but then 475 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: also you're leaving in the middle of a pandemic and 476 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: what a mess. You're leaving a mess, leaving a humongous mess, 477 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: and like it's going to take so long to clean 478 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: it up. Like this is something that's gonna be going 479 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: to be recovering from this forever. Stress, uh stress, indeed stress. 480 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: So on a lighter note, something that we are so 481 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: excited and happy about is our new merch that we launched. 482 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: We shot a cute little promotional video, we shared it 483 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: with you all on Instagram and Twitter and such, and 484 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,239 Speaker 1: we opened up our online store. Between our patrons and 485 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: our newsletter subscribers. We were basically sold out within a 486 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: few hours and it was really exciting.
