47
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: It's meant in the sense of giving to the community.

48
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

49
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 5: I kept having to remind my agent Gloria that, hey,

50
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 5: there's a pandemic.

51
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 4: We never stopped working, you know. And I got COVID.

52
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 5: And everybody was worried because they said you have to

53
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 5: isolate for fifteen days. I spent eighteen months in the hole.

54
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 5: What do you talking about me? So, like I call

00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: Can't go.

57
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: Because it is really hard for Mexicans and Latinos and

58
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: Latinas and latin x and it's very hard for us

59
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: to say no to work, right.

60
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 4: Hey, we have to go to work.

61
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: Were always working.

62
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 5: And if you'll notice, it's like there's never any Mexicans

63
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 5: standing on the freeway with a sign.

64
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 4: Never see them. I mean they'll do anything.

65
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 5: They'll go pick flowers out of somebody's yard and sell them,

66
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 5: you mean, do something. And I don't know where we

67
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 5: get all the oranges. But it's like, I mean, that

68
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 5: was funny.

69
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 4: That was.

70
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: Danny's like, I'm gonna be funny but we have to work.

71
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: It's that simple. It's like, we have to work, will have.

72
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: A Danny estate. So that image is a very image, right.

73
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: It's you do not have people selling oranges on the

74
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: freeways in New York City because there are no freeways, right,

75
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: So this is a very LA kind of thing. Can

76
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: you tell me a little bit more? I mean, one

77
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: of the reasons why we're so happy that you said

78
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: yes to join us is because you've been writing about

79
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: your love and your life in LA for the longest time, right, yeah, complete,

80
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: like LA is a central part of your life. Can

81
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: you can you like, if I say, dude, what do

82
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: you love about La?

83
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: Everything? I can't. I can't think of one thing that

84
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,119
Speaker 4: I don't love.

85
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 5: I mean, so they know they talk about, oh the traffic, Well,

86
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 5: if you've been in LA, you know how to maneuver.

87
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 4: You know.

88
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 5: It's like my daughter says, you know the cuts. You

89
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 5: got to know the cuts, you know the shortcuts. And

90
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 5: so anybody who's lived in LA long enough, they know. Man,

91
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 5: the four h five it three four five, six o'clock.

92
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 4: It is dumb to get on you know.

93
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: Do you know anything about the Cross Bronx Expressway?

94
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: But what see.

95
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: That's where it's like interesting because in New York we're

96
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: like I would say, never get on the Cross Bronze Expressway.

97
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: You just never want to do that. That is one

98
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: thing that we don't like about our cities, right, well,

99
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: the one.

100
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 4: Thing about New York is people honk. I can't understand.

101
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 5: I've gotten out of cars and ask people the hell

102
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 5: you honking about?

103
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 4: Stupid?

Speaker 1: So they don't honk it out?

105
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 4: Okay, hell no, let's shoot you.

106
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: So people in LA don't play with your horn.

107
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: In La, we don't play it.

108
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:44,240

110
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 5: Over the world, yes, and since I got in the

111
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 5: movie business. Before I got in the movie business, only

112
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 5: every place I ever went was uh, San Quentin, Foldsome,

Speaker 5: And then but I got in the movie visions and

115
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,720

116
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,119

Speaker 1: you the opportunity for you to just be like this entrepreneur.

122
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,080

Speaker 5: a picnic.

139
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,360

Speaker 5: for here, you know, and.

144
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,000

00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 4: even when I was.

146
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,040

00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: when I was like they Trejoscosmos, I did.

156
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 4: A favor for a director.

Speaker 5: He had a low budget movie and he wanted me

158
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 5: to do it, and he was talking to my agent

159
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 5: and DLORI was trying to get me to do this,

160
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 5: and I was waiting for this movie with some failure.

161
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 5: This was like a low budget to them, sangwich, they'll

162
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 5: give you a sandwich.

163
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 4: Enough, Okay, we did it. It was a movie called.

164
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 5: Badass, and uh yeah, I know, I know, stupid, but

165
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 5: so she got me to do it. I did it

166
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 5: and it turned into a trilogy. Right, So we had

167
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 5: been doing three movies, made a lot more money in

168
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 5: the other one. And so listen to your agents. If

169
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 5: you got an agent and then and and uh. I

170
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 5: met a director a producer on this movie called ash Shaw,

171
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 5: and he saw that I like good food. I won't

172
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 5: eat processed food, and in fact I was seventy, so

173
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 5: you better eat good food.

174
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 4: And he said, why don't you open a restaurant?

175
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 5: Jokingly, I said three hoost tacos because me and my

176
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 5: mom used to always tease my hafito with eight bomb.

177
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 5: Let's open a restaurant, blah blah blah. So when he

178
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 5: said that, I said, three host tacos and two movies later,

179
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 5: he brought me a business plan about twelve pages. I

180
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 5: opened it and it no more thought or no no

181
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 5: that they ain't killed nobody.

182
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 4: The first page.

183
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 5: I gave it to Gloria and she just kind of said,

184
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 5: it's a no brainer, Danny.

185
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 4: They don't want fifty thousand up front. Every time somebody

186
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 4: gives you a good idea, they want fifty grand, right

187
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 4: right right? No, So okay we did. So Now we

188
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 4: got four restaurants, an a.

189
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: Doughnuts shot and a Donuts and a Donuts shot.

190
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 5: We were going to go to Denver, Colorado, and San Antonio, Texas,

191
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 5: but then boom the pandemic hit, so everything kind of

192
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 5: just stopped, you know, so now we're you're back in

193
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 5: the replanning stages.

194
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: So Danny, it's funny because the reason why I created

195
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: futuro Media was because I needed to find a job

196
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: and I could not fathom calling my dad, doctor Raulino

197
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Josa and saying, buppy, I'm on unemployment. And so that's

198
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: what led to the creation of futuro Media, right. Actually,

199
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: but I didn't think of myself as an entrepreneur. I

200
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: just was, you know, I didn't take the label. I

201
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: was like, I'm desperate. Now I'm like, hell, yes, I'm

202
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur. Oh absolutely, I'm a media entrepreneur. Can you

203
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: talk to me about that thing that you did, which

204
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: was wes s I'm an actor now, but I'm going

205
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: to become an entrepreneur and I'm going to become a

206
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: businessman and I'm going to do the this entrepreneurial self.

207
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: Can you just talk a little bit about why and

208
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: how you connected to it.

209
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 5: I hate the pop anybody's bubble, but none of them

210
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 5: were my idea.

211
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: I love everything.

212
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 5: Good that's happened to me has happened as a direct

213
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 5: result of helping someone else. I gotten into the restaurant

214
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 5: business by helping that that director.

215
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 4: I got into it. I got into the record business by.

216
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 5: Helping a lady and her daughter that were in a

217
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 5: batter woman's shelter. I guess her husband beat her up

218
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 5: and her and her daughter were living there, and then

219
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 5: somebody broke into the safe and stole all their money,

220
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 5: so they were basically homeless.

221
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 4: So I gave it. Seemed like the old seat.

222
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 5: Though every time somebody needs something, you'll see sends me

223
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 5: like a good residual check.

224
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 4: I said, what's up, No, so we rented him an apartment.

225
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 5: But her daughter had this unbelievable voice Twixy and and uh,

226
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 5: I thought, wow, man, she was singing. And so I says,

227
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 5: you know what, Twixie, listen, listen, let's do a record label.

228
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 4: It's okay.

229
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 5: So right now we just released an album called Threco

230
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 5: Soul Collection and we got baby Bash, Twixy, Tarannu, Jasmine,

231
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 5: Frankie J.

232
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: Well, this is one of my favorite things about la

233
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: is actually that sound, that sound, that La Chican sound,

234
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: that R and B thing, the soul. I love that

235
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: you be coming up on Latino Usay our live interview

236
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: with La Icon Danny Trech continues, stay with us. Yes, Hey,

237
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: we're back, and today it's a special broadcast of our

238
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: live show in Los Angeles earlier this summer, and we're

239
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: going to keep the party going with our special guest

240
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: and La legend, Danny Trejo. We've heard about what Danny's

241
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: been up to lately, and now we're diving into his past,

242
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: his memories of l A and his efforts to support

243
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: Latinos and Latinas in Hollywood and in his city. So

244
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: when you were listening to Angel Baby, you were growing

245
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: up in Pacoima, So what was it like then? What

246
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: was Paquoima? What was it like to be Latino at

247
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: that time?

248
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 5: You know what?

249
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 4: Butina was not a very nice place at the villa.

250
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: So you're just being honest.

251
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there's a lot of gangs and it

252
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 4: was a hard time.

253
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 5: But everybody says, you know, did you experience uh racism?

254
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 4: I never did.

255
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 5: Because I wouldn't. I wouldn't let people, you know. I mean,

256
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 5: it's that simple. People say you can't eat your idea,

257
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 5: neither can your mother. I mean, it's just we No.

258
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm sorry, I didn't. I didn't mean that mom.

259
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 5: I like so so it was. But I guess there's

260
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 5: some people that really did expec and then they'd come

261
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 5: to us.

262
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: And you're taking her things. A you still live in Pacoima.

263
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 4: Well, I moved to the Beverly Hills of Pacoima.

264
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 5: I live in Mission Hills now, about three miles from Okay.

265
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: So my question actually because there was a question there

266
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: really when you were growing up and you were thinking

267
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: about not Pacoima but La Co, Los Angeles. But at

268
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: the momentum.

269
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 5: La in the early days, well, we lived in Echo

270
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 5: Park and we were like.

271
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 4: Kids, just you.

272
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 5: You could be down in downtown La at eleven o'clock

273
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 5: at night and it was okay. All the theaters were open,

274
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 5: most of them stayed open twenty four hours. If you

275
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 5: snuck in, you could sleep there. So it was like

276
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 5: just it wasn't like it is right now. And there

277
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 5: was no homeless. You know, homeless came out when when

278
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 5: Reagan closed all the mental health facilities.

279
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 4: No he did.

280
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 5: People don't realize, I'm sorry in Republicans, but they're the

281
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 5: ones complaining about the homeless. And when Reagan closed all

282
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 5: the mental health facilities, they all came downtown to live.

283
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 5: I worked at Norwalk State Hospital when they all closed,

284
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 5: and I can remember people walking down Norwalk in pajamas

285
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 5: because they all got kicked out, and they said, well,

286
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 5: we have a plan to house them in other facilities.

287
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hill Street.

288
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 5: So that's when the homeless problem started in LA and

289
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 5: it has not stopped. We have generations of homeless people

290
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 5: living on the street since then. And people keep talking about, well,

291
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 5: we have to build low cost housing people. Low cost

292
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 5: housing is a myth in California.

293
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 4: There is no such thing.

294
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 5: People with one job can't afford to buy a house.

295
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 5: We have to have two people working now, and so

296
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 5: it's like when we start talking about mental health and

297
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 5: drug addiction, then we can take care of that homeless problem.

298
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: So, I mean, I think that's one of the things

299
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: that people love about you, Danny, is that you're super straightforward.

300
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: You know, you're talking about the fact that you know,

301
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: the homeless population in LA continues to grow. Obviously, LA

302
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: has changed a lot. You talk about Echo Park and

303
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: it was once a very solid Latino Latino community that

304
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: is being gentrified intensely. So what other change have you

305
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: seen in LA that is you know, Procupante worries someone.

306
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 4: I gotta say this.

307
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 5: I gotta say that a lot of Latinos have come

308
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 5: up in LA you know. It's like the people that

309
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 5: you said, well, you know what, I'm not standing for it.

310
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 5: I'm working and I'm doing this. There are a lot

311
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 5: of community health workers.

312
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 4: We have a lot of people in the business, in

313
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 4: the in the film business. But one of the things

314
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 4: that we have to do to improve that even more.

315
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 5: Is we have to get people to invest in movies.

316
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 5: I want to see more Latinos in movies. Okay, well,

317
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 5: put your money where your mouth is.

318
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm actually thrilled you brought this up because one of

319
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: the questions that I wanted to discuss with you is

320
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: the Latino dynamic is very complicated. Obo. But also you

321
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: and I and many people in this audience have privilege.

322
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: We have privilege. And you're saying, well, some of you

323
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: complained about the media, but you do have money, and

324
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: you could invest in film, in media, in changing the narrative.

325
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: What does that look like. I think that's very interesting

326
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: that you're just like invest.

327
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 5: Well, you know what it's like, all we have to do,

328
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 5: write a script, find out how much it costs, and

329
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 5: let's do it. You know, I mean let's do it.

330
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 5: It's like, yo, I'm available and period you let's do it.

331
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 5: In fact, right now, I'm working on a project called

332
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 5: show loads in out of Space, you know, and it's

333
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 5: just every everybody else is going to space. And it's like,

334
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 5: I mean, we have got so much right now.

335
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 4: It's like we have got so much that we can do.

336
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 5: The biggest problem with us, it's so hard for us

337
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 5: to work together because the minute we start getting something,

338
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 5: it's like this Minland and and you and we put

339

Speaker 5: a big fance around us and.

340
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, we do things together.

341
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 5: Cheech Marine and myself, we were Grand Marshals Wait Grand

342
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 5: Marshals in the Saint Patrick's Day Parade in No Wait

343
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 5: in Arkansas, Little rock Hardy I kept telling Cheez, I

344
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 5: kept telling.

345
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 4: You don't sound Mexican here, and he laughed riding out

346
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 4: that they don't know we're not Irish. Had the.

347
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 5: I love making him laugh because because when you can

348
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 5: make a comic laugh, you're good.

349
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 4: And he kept cracking up. And every time he say,

350
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 4: you sound like a Joe.

351
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 5: But so they needed some celebrities, so they're willing to

352
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 5: pay us to be a celebrity. But invest in a movie.

353
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 5: Ye you know, I mean invest in a movie. So anyway,

354
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 5: that's what I'm doing. I'm looking for invest ter shut up.

355
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like I want to make

356
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: a movie with Danny's own.

357
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 4: Saying we've been up, you know, we've been blessed.

358
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 5: It's like, for the first five years of my career,

359
00:21:53,359 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 5: I played bad guy, Chicano dude, guy with tattoos, mean dude, yeah,

360
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 5: meaner dude.

361
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: Realty, meaness dude.

362
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 5: And it's like the first time I was interviewed out

363
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 5: of some little girl fresh out of interview school. She says,

364
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 5: she says, aren't you afraid you're being stereotype?

365
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 4: And I says, as what, maah, And she said, well.

366
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 5: You're always playing the Chicano dude with tattoos. I am

367
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 5: the mean Chicando dude. Finally somebody got it right. They're

368
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 5: not putting brown pain on people anymore. Ricky Schroeder wants

369
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 5: to be a Mexican You.

370
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: So you feel you kind of feel like you're having

371
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: the last laugh in that sense.

372
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 5: I don't even because you know what it's like, every

373
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 5: time we go on movies, they better have some Latinos

374
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 5: on that cast.

375
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

376
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: That's all so so Danny, if you were, if you

377
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: were the boss of Hollywood, and you are in many ways, right,

378
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: what would Danny Trejo's Hollywood look like a lot more brown?

379
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 4: That's for damn sure, you know what I mean.

380
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 5: And like meho, right now, my son Gilbert, he's directing

381
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 5: a second unit on a movie in Barcelona, Spain, and

382
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 5: so it's like he got in because you know, like

383
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,479
Speaker 5: I would take him to movies or take him on sets,

384
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 5: and I damn partisio.

385
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 4: I kept trying to get.

386
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 5: Him in front of the camera, but he learned on

387
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 5: his own camera lighting.

388
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 4: He shadowed Robert Rodriguez.

389
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 5: On Machette and Machette killed see and Robert Rodriuez for

390
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 5: a while, like really just did a lot.

391
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 4: Of Latino bassed movies. Right.

392
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 5: In fact, he directed the episode of me in Bobbo Feed,

393
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 5: you know the.

394
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 4: They should have called that the first Latino in space.

395
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 5: But so he directed me in that, and it's like

396
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 5: he went as far as he could as a director,

397
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 5: you know.

398
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 4: What I mean.

399
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 5: And now now it's up to people with you know,

400
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 5: den Netto saying let's make some Latino movie. You gotta

401
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 5: remember It's like the powers that be in Hollywood are

402
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 5: not any you know.

403
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 4: Who'sas or Rodries or Tregos.

404
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: Yes.

405
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 5: Well, so it's like if I go, oh, right, now,

406
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 5: here's a hell, here's Tommy Joesn't come here boy that guys,

407
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 5: they don't get that guy instead of Garcia go So.

408
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: You know this data. I'm sure all of you know

409
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: this data, right that one out of every four this

410
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: is before the pandemic. And I guess now, for what

411
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: but one out of every four movie tickets sold in

412
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: the United States of America is bought by a Latino

413
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: or not one out of every four. And that's because

414
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: we love the movies and also we go to the

415
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: movies with the entire family, from the babies to the

416
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: ablitas to the beside a lot of tickets. But you

417
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: know the question that I always have. Let's just take

418
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: a show like Secession, right, that's on HBO. I think, right,

419
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: so Succession, which is huge, a great story, fascinating, great

420
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: acting in men's production, and I'm just like, what would

421
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: happen if they took all of that money and attention

422
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: and hope and put it into something that was being

423
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: produced by and for Latinos primarily, not only because I

424
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,719
Speaker 1: don't think we're exclusive in that sense.

425
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 4: I mean, what.

426
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: Would that look like? Do you ask those same questions,

427
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: Danny as you're watching whatever it is that you're watching,

428
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: just like, but oh yea meo sah, we have the stories?

429
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: Do we not have the stories to tell? I mean

430
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: every single one of you, I could, I could speak

431
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: to any one of you and in a minute you'd

432
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: be telling me this serious family drama. Some of we

433
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: would be laughing about, some of it would be crying about,

434
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, but we would just be like, no medvigas,

435
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: equanta memas. I mean, we live on stories, right.

436
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 5: There was a movie that I saw down here down

437
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 5: in in Laos, in la.

438
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 4: At the Ore film with my dad, and it was

00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 4: called Vivasata.

440
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 5: And who was the star of that who played Sapata

441
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 5: Marlon Brando.

442
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,879

Speaker 4: I could believe it. And who was the co star

445
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 4: was Anthony Quinn. So way back then they were saying

446
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 4: you no, no, no, a Latino star. It should have

447
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 4: been reversed. But I want to do that movie again.

448
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,080

Speaker 4: who did Valdez is coming? Burt Lancaster?

454
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 5: Okay, there's no way Burt Lancaster could be anywhere from

455
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 5: the south of the border.

456
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:15,960

460
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,720

Speaker 4: You know what?

463
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 5: It goes back to people that don't understand what they're doing.

464
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: I continue to try to reframe it, which is that

465
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: Latinos and Latina is the latinx Latine community we in

466
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: fact get to in many ways determine what the future

467
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: looks like because we are like the fastest growing demographic

468
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: along with Asian people in the United States. And that's

469
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: what happens when I get to La. For me, because

470
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: when I get to La and I'm driving around, I'm like,

471
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: this is such a Latino city. Man, sajo Latino Latin

472
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: like everywhere you go. Although I don't really know the

473
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: communities too well, but you know, in the big thorough

474
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: for everywhere, you're like Latinos and Latinas, and then you

475
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: see what's reflected in the media and that's produced here,

476
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: and it's like we're like essentially invisible. And I think

477
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: this is one of the things that is a challenge

478
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: for me. And I don't know what it's like for

479
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: you in the business, Danny, because I think, like, I'm

480
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,959
Speaker 1: not on the sets right where does the glass ceiling

481
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: kind of come in terms of Latinos and Latinas in Hollywood.

482
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 5: I got the business nineteen eighty five and I think

483
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 5: we've come a long way. But again we have to

484
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 5: start saying, let's start making some some movies with Latinos stars,

485
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 5: with Latino cast with Latino and uh, otherwise it's gonna

486
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 5: stay the same. I think Robert Rodriguez brought it when

487
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 5: he did Desperado. First of all, they got Antonio Bands.

488
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 5: I love Antonio ban He's great, great as Tespania.

489
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 4: He's from Spain.

490
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 5: So when we got to Mexico, Uh, people in Mexico

491
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 5: it sounds like the people from Spain are talking down

492
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 5: to them a lot. And no please don't not no letters,

493
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 5: no my opinion. Okay, they sounds like a soap opera.

494
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 4: Okay. And then and so nobody gravitated port Antonio ban

495
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 4: That is, when we were doing.

496
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 5: Desperado, everybody started coming to me right and Robert said, man, Danny,

497
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 5: they think you're the star of this movie.

498
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 4: You mean I'm not.

499
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 5: And so it's like we need movies that show hey,

500
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 5: Latinos can do whatever, you whatever, you know what I mean,

501
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 5: we can play three if we want.

502
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: We have my trees, we could and we'd be a

503
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: good treat. Okay. I have two questions then we have

504
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: to wrap. And actually one of them is a little

505
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: bit of a serious question because you take you have

506
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: said that again, your success is because you are in

507
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: service of others exactly.

508
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 5: So why I still work for a place called Western

509
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 5: Pacific Med Corps with detox and find placement for heroin

510
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 5: addicts and so we're down here all the time, you know.

511
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,239
Speaker 5: So I'm downtown for I know downtown, you know. And

512
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 5: the reason is in nineteen sixty eight, when I was

513
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 5: in the hole in Solidad, I made a promise to Deosito,

514
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 5: if you let me die with dignity, I'll say your

515
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 5: name every day, and I will do whatever I can

516
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 5: for my fellow inmate, because I ever thought I was

517
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 5: getting out of prison, and then the parole board in

518
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 5: nineteen sixty nine says, trego, we're sick of you. Bring

519
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 5: us back a life sentence. Were letting me out, so

520
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 5: I could just bring them back the life meal, and so.

521
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: It was a second to get out there and do

522
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: that thing. They are you saying. They actually said that,

523
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: oh yeah.

524
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 5: Bring us back a life sentence because they knew. It's

525
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 5: like they're no for me as a what do you

526
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 5: call career criminal? I don't know what I was, but

527
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 5: I had, you know, I found I found a program.

528
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 5: They kind of said, hey, God's in charge, you know,

529
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 5: so with God on my side, nobody can hurt me.

530
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 5: And and you know it's we were nineteen sixteen, August

531
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 5: twenty third, nineteen sixty nine.

532
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 4: I got out of prison and have not looked back.

533
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: We're so happy Danny, and I've been.

534
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 5: Keeping my promise. I say his name every day, and

535
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 5: everybody that I know that I break bread with, that

536
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 5: I call a friend, has thermal underwear, has socks, has

537
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 5: perishable food all in the trunk of their car because

538
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 5: we pass it out every day.

539
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: So now you know, if you ever run into Danny

540
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: on the road, he's got some thermal underwear.

541
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 5: We work a thing called Police Project. They're down here

542
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 5: every week. They're down here every week passing down food,

543
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 5: passed down food. And so what we always do we

544
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 5: come down and pass out tren Hoose tackles with a

545
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 5: little box of food.

546
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: Because they're but for the grace of God, go.

547
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 4: On there, but for the grace of God. Boy. But

548
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 4: the only difference between me and.

549
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 5: A lot of homeless is I'd do a robbery and

550
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 5: go to prison.

551
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: You're saying, look at the people who are houseless who

552
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: are there. Look at them as someone who is choosing

553
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: not to rob you and is trying to live in dignity.

554
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: That's a really beautiful thing.

555
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 4: That was beautiful, But you.

556
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: Made me think it and that actually it could be

557
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: the answer to the last question. But I'm gonna ask

558
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: the last question anyway, which is so I am flying

Speaker 1: back to New York tomorrow. It was a quick trip,

560
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: I know, but as I'm flying home tomorrow and working

561
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: on the plane because I got so much work to do,

562
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: because I'm so Mexican. I got sixteen jobs. What is
