00:07
I'm gonna get you classes.
00:09
Welcome back to Lincoln Vile.
00:11
I'm Jenny and we have a great show to kick off the
00:17
So we have the Mexican Embassy break in.
00:20
He thought he was safe but he wasn't.
00:23
99 cent stores are closing.
00:25
Oh, this guy takes a forever nap and como sad fuck
00:30
around and find out and dangerous places with Timmy Carter Tambien.
00:36
It's National Empanada Day.
00:38
So we're gonna try some bomb empanadas.
00:47
All 99 cents only stores are shutting down after 42 years in
00:53
business. Damn Jenny.
00:56
I just moved out here,
00:57
you know how 99 cent stores hold me down,
01:00
you know, between paychecks and shit.
01:01
Like now, now where am I gonna go?
01:04
And it's like I know that they're like,
01:05
now they're like 199 but I would have been ok with that
01:08
you know, just don't shut down completely.
01:10
And I grew up with the 99 cent store like,
01:12
i it's another Blockbuster thing where they take away from us.
01:16
But so the discount chain is closing all 371 locations.
01:24
This month. The CEO says they've been struggling for years due
01:29
to the pandemic, inflation and shrink,
01:33
which means the losses from things like shoplifting and employee theft.
01:38
Jenny. That sounds s as he,
01:42
you blaming the closing on shoplifting and employee theft.
01:45
I don't know if I buy it.
01:47
Like how much as an employee can you steal from the 99
01:51
cent store? Like fucking 15 bucks worth of shit.
01:54
That's the whole inventory in the back.
01:56
You're gonna close all how many stores?
01:58
371 locations over that.
02:00
Yeah, I don't know if I buy a jean but
02:03
I need a bad excuse.
02:05
so the company was bought in 2011 for $1.6 billion by a
02:12
private equity and now 99 cents is liquidating all their products and
02:18
selling their real estate holdings.
02:20
They're basically being sold for parts like if you were to buy
02:24
a car and sell the parts separately.
02:27
Honestly, that sounds like more of the reason why they're
02:32
selling it. I feel like maybe they think,
02:35
oh we can make more money,
02:36
money this way, you know,
02:38
by, by chopping it up and selling the real estate and
02:41
all that. That sounds more of a like that's what they're
02:44
going for. Not saying that that's what it is,
02:46
but it sounds like it is.
02:49
it, it just seems so weird Jenny.
02:51
Like because you would think that with like COVID and the inflation
02:54
prices like these 99 cent stores will be killing it.
02:58
or maybe they're just using,
03:00
well, it's a good time to say that this is the
03:02
reason why we're selling it.
03:04
You know, like it's a good,
03:06
like, excuse, I guess you can say,
03:08
you know, that's really,
03:09
But anyhoo, that's just me.
03:11
What's your favorite thing to buy from there?
03:13
What's your favorite item that you're gonna miss?
03:20
I don't know. But I can't find,
03:21
like, I used to get these Swedish fish bags,
03:23
like these candy bags.
03:26
I don't see them nowhere else that size if it's not like
03:29
only at these stores.
03:31
dude. The fucking chips are cheap.
03:35
I mean, they're half full of air but it's all good
03:37
I mean, I like the little breeze when you open
03:39
it. The little b that's like 99 cents of air in
03:46
Look, I got good news for you.
03:49
The 99 cents only stores will have a going out of business
03:53
sale in all locations.
03:56
So they will have a massive savings on most items from April
04:04
So, but like how can you go cheaper than 99 cent
04:08
Jenny? Let's open our own store.
04:11
We only need like $100 to buy out like the store.
04:14
Like let's go and open up,
04:15
go over there and grab everything.
04:18
let's move on to the next story.
04:24
The oldest man in the world,
04:26
Juan Vicente Perez Mora from Venezuela died this week at 114 years
04:31
old. He died two months before his 115th birthday in his
04:36
home state of Tachira Venezuela.
04:38
So he was two months away from his second quinceanera,
04:41
his second quinceanera. He became the oldest man in the world
04:45
In 2022. The governor of Tachira said Perez Mora was
04:49
humble, hard, working,
04:51
optimistic and a friendly man born in 1909,
04:55
he lived through both world wars.
04:57
He was married for 60 years and his wife passed away in
05:00
1997. They had 11 kids,
05:03
42 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren and 12 great great grandchildren.
05:12
La la. We went through a lot.
05:20
Juan Vicente credited his long life to working hard,
05:24
resting on holidays, going to bed early and drinking a glass
05:29
of Aguada Vient every day,
05:31
loving God and always carrying him in his heart.
05:36
I'm inspired, so inspired that my dad,
05:40
Jenny actually sent us a little care package from Colombia,
05:46
straight from Colombia. What is that?
05:51
What? Let's do a little cheers for Juan Vicente.
05:57
yeah. Oh, don't worry.
05:59
Oh girl, you're trying to.
06:01
Ok, Pa Juan Vicente,
06:12
I'm horrible taking shots and I'm not.
06:14
Oh my God. Cheers salute.
06:16
Idas. Well, let's move on to the next story on
06:26
April 1st us. Citizenship and Immigration Services raised its immigration and
06:31
citizenship fees. 96% of the agency's funding comes from filing fees
06:38
That's crazy. The fee for applying for a green card
06:41
or adjustment of status has gone up from 1225 to 1400.
06:48
The naturalization application has also increased from 640 to 760.
06:53
You're gonna have to take,
06:54
you have to work another another shift to cover this.
06:57
I don't understand like how they expect people to all come legally
07:02
dude, how you make it impossible for them to do that
07:05
Now, I know why my cousin married my other cousin
07:08
You know, it's like look at these fees like,
07:11
well, meanwhile the fee for H one B Visa application increased
07:21
Some experts say that the total legal permanent residency application which includes
07:26
four forms went from $1760 to 3000 and five.
07:34
Like dude, that's like,
07:36
yo, like I like double like there's no rules like they
07:39
can't get hit with Rico charges like are you seeing the jump
07:45
like you pay the fee but then you have to wait fucking
07:49
years like years, you can't do nothing.
07:52
You, you gotta behave you can't get into no trouble that
07:55
will affect the status.
07:58
The fee increase will have a major effect on large families going
08:01
through the immigration process.
08:02
However, there are fee waivers for certain cases,
08:05
including being below the poverty line.
08:08
So at least, at least,
08:09
you know, they're looking out for,
08:11
you know, families that are,
08:13
that aren't as fortunate as others,
08:15
but these prices is crazy.
08:17
Like, how do you come up with that coming into the
08:19
country? Like or I don't know,
08:23
I'll go be a citizen somewhere else.
08:24
I'm going to Europe,
08:26
look at this shit but go to Mexico,
08:28
stay in Mexico or stay in dr New video footage shows that
08:37
15 year old Savannah Graciano was shot and killed by San Bernardino
08:41
Police after surrendering to them amid her kidnapping,
08:45
Savannah was abducted by her father,
08:48
Anthony Graziano in September 2022 after he allegedly killed her mother.
08:53
Police tracked down the father's truck and they got into a car
08:56
chase. The sheriff said that someone in the truck was shooting
09:00
back at the deputies.
09:02
A shootout began and Savannah got out of the truck in the
09:06
audio. An officer tells her passenger,
09:08
get out, come here and come to me.
09:11
She stepped towards the police car obeying their commands and was shot
09:15
to death. An officer yelled,
09:17
stop shooting her, he's in the car,
09:20
stop. Her father was also killed.
09:23
Police suggested that Savannah possibly shot at them and she's and said
09:28
she was unrecognizable because she was wearing a helmet and tactical gear
09:34
it seems like she was just wearing regular clothes.
09:38
The California Justice Department is investigating the shooting.
09:46
Jenny. You're familiar with the phrase fuck around and find out
09:49
You ever, you ever wonder what it translates to in
09:52
Spanish? Why, what do you say that?
09:56
you know, sometimes people gotta fuck around and find out in
09:59
Spanish and you gotta,
10:00
you know, let them know they don't hit the same.
10:02
I think it hits harder in Spanish honestly is like,
10:05
well, how would you say it?
10:07
somebody's fucking around with you and you gotta be like Ss le
10:12
conto Penda Sabel. That would make me Scott Loki stop doing
10:18
something. I'll be like sig Jodi Endo,
10:24
So how would you translate fuck around and find out in Spanish
10:29
from where you're from?
10:30
We asked that question to other people and they said Busca Cuentas
10:37
like that sounds like a a threat honestly.
10:41
Yeah, you're gonna find me.
10:44
you're gonna find my fist atte Iva that,
10:52
that one, it could be,
10:53
it could be good or bad.
10:55
It could go both ways.
10:56
I feel like that Guerra Visa.
11:00
No Mata Gente. That one was given like grandma,
11:04
right? Like that would be the grandma version of saying fuck
11:07
around and yeah, it's more,
11:08
it's more like appropriate gotta be sitting around and she's gonna tell
11:12
this is the way my grandma would say because she had a
11:14
bad mouth, my grandma,
11:17
So this Sige Jodi Endo Ira.
11:22
Oh yeah, I've been here with that one as a kid
11:26
and, and, and I did segue Jodi Endo and
11:29
I did find out I have some,
11:31
I like that. I have some stitches to approve for it
11:39
El BUCA and Cuenta and that is so true because I remember
11:43
with my first relationship like I was looking and I was looking
11:48
no mass or just to look and I found that,
11:51
that, that, that dude was cheating on me.
11:54
I know you too good to be true.
11:58
You look, keep looking,
11:59
you already know the answer.
12:00
You're gonna find it and you might not like it.
12:02
You might not like it.
12:03
Imagine you were saying this to your nephew.
12:06
How would you say it?
12:07
So you get, hold the end though.
12:08
I want a, they climb on top of the,
12:12
what's that in English guys?
12:15
they climb on top of the dresser.
12:16
They're like little wrestlers and they,
12:18
they jump on the bed all fun and games.
12:20
You know, until you hear that wood crack,
12:23
until you hear that wood crack on that bed frame.
12:25
I'm like CS the endo and I do it like that.
12:30
I say nice and calm,
12:35
I just tell it nonchalant,
12:37
you know, like S sang Jolie Endo,
12:38
you guys are going really good.
12:40
You know, Mexico has broken diplomatic ties with Ecuador.
12:48
Ecuador special forces broke into the Mexican embassy in Quito which is
12:52
the capital of Ecuador on Friday to arrest their former Vice President
12:57
Jorge Glass. This is tricky because Mexico granted glass asylum
13:03
amid corruption charges to help us understand what's going on.
13:08
We have Professor Michael Paarlberg,
13:10
assistant Professor of Political Science at Virginia Commonwealth University.
13:14
Hello, Professor. Hi,
13:16
Professor, how are you doing?
13:17
Hello, thanks for having me.
13:18
Thank you for coming on.
13:20
So professor, why is this embassy break in so bad?
13:24
Well, it's a violation of international diplomatic protocols.
13:29
Contrary to popular belief,
13:30
embassies are not actually foreign territory.
13:33
A lot of people think that for example,
13:36
in Ecuador, the Mexican embassy is Mexican territory.
13:39
That's not true. However,
13:41
under a pair of diplomatic conventions called the Vienna Conventions or past
13:48
the 19 sixties, that pretty much all countries agree to
13:52
there is a principle of in viability under which the embassy
13:57
the chief of mission of an embassy has to permit
14:01
the police or any other forces from the host country to enter
14:05
the grounds. And if they do not,
14:07
then this is a violation of the sovereignty of that country.
14:10
So this is something that creates a lot of anxiety for countries
14:13
all over the world who worry about the safety of their diplomatic
14:18
personnel. And in some extreme cases,
14:20
this has been violated in the past,
14:23
most famously for the United States in the Iranian hostage crisis.
14:27
In 1979. More recently,
14:29
there was there have been outright attacks on embassies such as
14:32
the attack on the US embassy in Benghazi Libya.
14:36
But these were carried out by insurgent groups,
14:39
not by the actual government.
14:41
So this is something that is extremely worrying for Mexico but also
14:45
for other countries in the region.
14:47
And really the world if they believe that their embassies can be
14:50
simply invaded by the security forces of another country.
14:56
What happens next after all this?
14:59
Well, Mexico has a broken diplomatic relations with Ecuador at least
15:03
for now. And they have said they're going to bring
15:06
this case to court under the International Court of Justice.
15:10
Other countries have complained about this.
15:15
Nicaragua is so far is the only other country to have
15:17
also broken ties with Ecuador over this but mostly left leaning governments
15:22
in Latin America have partially criticized this this raid.
15:27
So this is creating bigger rifts within the region in which governments
15:32
that are aligned with Mexico,
15:34
mostly on the left are being very critical of the NOVO government
15:38
which has until recently been relatively popular.
15:43
And enjoyed a fair amount of legitimacy almost across the
15:48
ideological spectrum. And where is Jorge Glass now?
15:52
Well, he is under arrest and he is going to be
15:55
returned to prison. He was already in prison for for
16:00
a long time on these two corruption charges.
16:03
And so it's presumed that he will will serve out
16:08
his sentence. And why did this happen?
16:11
Exactly. Well, Glass is a former vice president under the
16:16
former presidency of Rafael Correa.
16:19
He is currently in exile himself and has been sentenced in absentia
16:24
for bribery. Glass was his vice president and more importantly served
16:30
as the head of something called fo de so de which was
16:34
a fund that was funded by petroleum proceeds.
16:40
Ecuador is an oil producing country.
16:43
and some of these proceeds were meant to provide earthquake
16:48
relief from an earthquake.
16:50
In 2016, Glass has been accused of misusing or embezzling those
16:54
funds. Now, he has claimed that that is not true
16:59
There is a big divide between the left and
17:02
right in Ecuador. So people on the right who generally
17:06
support President Noboa believe that he is guilty.
17:10
People on the left believe that this is politically persecuted.
17:15
And currently the government is on the right.
17:18
And so they are they are putting him back in jail
17:21
That's right. Thank you professor for breaking it down for
17:25
us. Where can we find you.
17:27
Oh, well, I'm on Twitter at MP A ARLB er
17:33
G as well as linkedin.
17:35
Same thing. Thank you.
17:37
Thank you professor. We appreciate your time.
17:40
Thanks for having me.
17:41
Thank you. Have a nice day.
17:43
I learned so much when they break it down like that.
17:45
I'm like sponge Jenny.
17:51
You like traveling, right?
17:55
So we got this travel blogger that not only does he travel
17:58
but like he gets into situations.
18:00
Like what kind of situations you already know what kind of situaciones
18:05
down in South America man.
18:07
Like dangerous situations, basically dangerous situations.
18:10
When he's down there.
18:10
He goes to where like you're not supposed to go where they
18:13
tell you oh stay away from that.
18:16
That's where I'm going.
18:17
Then he'll pull, he'll pull up and be like I'm good
18:20
here or I'm not good here.
18:22
So yeah, we have Timmy Carter here,
18:25
travel blogger to talk about his travels in Latin America.
18:33
Hello guys. Hola man.
18:39
OK. So what motivated you to explore the most dangerous parts
18:42
of certain countries? What motivated me is my,
18:46
my curiosity because I was very,
18:48
very young. I love exploring new place and to be honest
18:52
I love going to the known when I don't know where
18:55
I'm going. That's what I like.
18:58
Like whatever comes your way.
19:00
Like if somebody tells him like,
19:01
yo, you should go see that.
19:03
I'm gonna go bae right?
19:05

19:55
Person Masport. So can you share a memorable experience where you
20:02
get into trouble while traveling?
20:04
So I don't know like something you know that you remember that
20:08
you were like, oh my God,
20:09
like this is, this is scary.
20:11
I had an experience in Brazil in a favela.
20:15
If we are not fiesta the Otto favelas,
20:19
I've never seen any other youtube video in a favela by night
20:22
I don't know if it's safe.
20:27
Oh shit. If I play with the wrong girl,
20:32
I'm there vide to Brazil la not comos locas Tia Gringo aqui
20:49
in com io Dee Juano Nada.
20:53
That's crazy. What advice would you offer to travelers who want
20:57
to explore dangerous areas but stay safe.
20:59
Respect the people, respect the culture.
21:02
So when you go to a bar or when you go to
21:06
a place that people are poorer than you as a tourist
21:09
you have to respect them,
21:11
you have to talk to them.
21:12
Smile get them a beer.
21:14
No, sir. You have to make them friends so they
21:17
can trust you and then they will treat you as a king
21:20
That's from my experience.
21:23
But to be fair guys,
21:24
I don't know. In my experience,
21:27
if you ask me in every country,
21:30
the danger exist to the touristic places.
21:32
Not in the, the hoods with a bad reputation.
21:36
That's what I've realized.
21:38
Yeah. If I go to a hood they know I'm a
21:40
gringo. They know I'm a tourist but they're curious,
21:44
they're excited to show you the,
21:45
the place. And also they don't like the bad reputation that
21:49
the media gave to them.
21:51
So they try their best,
21:52
especially if you have a camera to portray you the best version
21:56
of the culture of the hood.
21:58
And that's what I like the most.
21:59
Do your travel seeking out these adventures negatively affect your opinion of
22:03
a city or a country?
22:05
No, in my brain when they're telling me,
22:06
don't go there, I hope I can go there and prove
22:10
the opposite. I don't want to promote the negatives.
22:13
I put negative title because that's what the media pushes.
22:16
And I want to get the clicks from the people that like
22:18
negative news. But once they click,
22:20
they will see the opposite.
22:22
That's my goal every time I like that proving them wrong.
22:25
And it's, especially if it's shed in a,
22:27
in a, like dark light.
22:29
It's like no, like there's good to it the people.

23:04
What are some of the most memorable local dishes?
23:07
You've tried memory local.

24:52
0 1000% today is National Empanada Day where we pay homage to
25:01
the savory pastry cherished for its many flavorful variations.
25:07
The term empanaya traces its roots to the Galician Portuguese and Spanish
25:13
language where it signifies the act of wrapping or encasing in bread
25:20
Yeah. We shouldn't have put these out before we started this
25:23
So we have empanadas from Argentina,
25:27
Cuba, Mexico. What do you think Jenny?
25:31
Should we give it a taste?
25:32
I think we should wait.
25:34
Jean. You look a little left out.
25:36
Come on, you wanna try the Dominican is left out.
25:41
Ah, he got something to say.
25:43
He's got something to say.
25:54
it looks like it has potential ones,
25:57
the toasted ones. I,
26:00
I can enjoy whatever they got going on here.
26:06
I'm gonna go, you know,
26:08
go through my phone and enjoy pictures of my mom.
26:10
You know, they have empanadas,
26:13
they don't have Dominican food out here like that.
26:14
But y'all can enjoy that,
26:17
if it means more empanadas for us,
26:22
let's go. We don't use utensils in Colombia for empanadas.
26:27
Oh, let's get down to business.
26:28
She said I don't need these.
26:29
Ok. So Mexico first.
26:35
Pardon? My rich Jenny.
26:37
But I'm getting into it.
26:38
I'm gonna do this one too.
26:39
Let's see. Does it say it?
26:46
Sweet. I've never had a Mexican empanada.
26:49
I'm intrigued. Yeah.
26:51
Just sweet and powdery.
26:52
Mhm. Mm. Ok let's do this one.
27:04
I kind of wanna try Pina,
27:06
I'm getting a lot of pina.
27:08
Me too. That one should be left till the end.
27:10
It's sweet. Let's go to Cuba.
27:22
Mm. Look my fit this lobster.
27:28
No shit good. This shit's on my country.
27:32
This makes me wanna have a Cuban husband.
27:38
I'll go back to that one later.
27:41
Mm oh I like the other one better.
27:47
Mhm I don't know when I was trying this one,
27:50
Celia Cruz was playing in my head.
27:51
Same. Tell me why I was thinking about my Cuban crust
27:56
All right. Argentina cheers.
28:04
Cheers. Mm mm mm mhm mhm Just so good at savory
28:18
and I wanna squeeze it.
28:20
So the meat oozes out of it.
28:22
That's what I'm doing.
28:23
It's, it's very savory and it just feels very filling good
28:30
flavor. I'm gonna go back to this one.
28:32
I will be back here.
28:35
We have to I know Latinos is that chimichurri?
28:40
See the chimichurri adds a sort of herbal flavor.
28:46
Is that the right word?
28:49
It's oily. I don't really like it.
28:53
I don't know what kind of flavor that is but really I
28:55
feel like it. I don't know.
28:56
To me it just feels healthy,
28:59
but you're right. It is oily and herbally.
29:02
I think I'd rather add the salsa.
29:03
OK. I'll give it a try.
29:08
I'm just so bad with Picante.
29:10
Oh, yeah, you're Colombian.
29:16
Sana Pala Prox. That's a whole universe in there.
29:23
It's so good, Jenny.
29:25

29:30
Ok. What do you think?
29:33

29:43

29:47
You know, that's where my,
29:47

29:53
They may stick to enchiladas,
29:58
like I mean for dessert.
30:00
I'm just so hard on my,
30:02
I'm so hard on my country.
30:03
But yeah, so that would have to be my top.
30:07
I'm still chewing. I'm sorry,
30:10
I just saw myself and my cheeks look full.
30:14
I wish my other cheeks were full.
30:16
