00:06
Yeah, welcome back to Leak in Bio.
00:16
We have a whole audience today so we have a lot of
00:19
high school students here to be and like,
00:25
do you ever like drive on the freeway and you get behind
00:27
a school bus and you're kind of scared.
00:28
They're like poke fun at you.
00:30
You gonna lose or drive by himself like high schoolers are mean
00:35
But these are kind of cool.
00:37
I remember high school.
00:41
I feel like I did peak in high school.
00:44
I still live with my mom.
00:47
This economy is no joke.
00:50
I moved out but because my wife made me,
00:51
you know, like she's like,
00:53
I'm not living with your parents anymore.
00:54
I'm like, you're doing a show.
00:56
Get into it. Sorry guys.
00:58
But we have a fun show for you today.
00:59
As you can tell we have some high schools in the house
01:02
from Long Beach, right?
01:03
Shout out to the L BC.
01:11
But anyway stories. So we got bad bunny's ex suing him
01:16
40 million do I'm not gonna say anymore because it's,
01:18
it's crazy. And then we have the blue and black dress
01:21
going viral again or was it white and gold?
01:23
It was blue and black.
01:26
I mean, I'm color so I don't even know,
01:27
I don't got any skin in this game.
01:29
Point is it's going viral again,
01:31
but not for the reason.
01:32
You think one brighter news.
01:33
Vicky the fit chick keeps her mom in check on the show
01:39
And author Z Hernandez talks about his new book on immigration.
01:44
Damn, we got a good mix.
01:45
We got the range today.
01:46
I think we got the range.
01:48
how about we dive in?
01:49
Let's dive right in.
01:51
That was my little movie.
01:58
So Miss USA and Miss Teen USA actually resigned last week.
02:03
And I mean, I hear that there's a lot of shit
02:06
and sketchy shit going on behind the scenes at this time,
02:11
Miss USA says she resigned,
02:12
focus on her mental health.
02:13
And Miss Tis A says she resigned because the competition no longer
02:16
aligned with her personal values.
02:17
But fans noticed the first letter of the 1st 11 sentences in
02:21
Miss USA statement spelled out.
02:23
I am silenced. So there's something going on and she can't
02:31
but she's using cryptic messages like you said.
02:33
Exactly. But it's because they have an ND A Exactly.
02:37
So it's like there's no other way for them to speak.
02:38
But these posts that.
02:42
Yeah, and this story is unfolding right now.
02:46
So this is happening right now.
02:49
So it's just, it's like a big deal.
02:52
And a voice resignation letter said that Miss Usa,
02:55
the whole pageant competition had a toxic work environment of bullying and
03:00
harassment and even pageant officials called her mentally ill.
03:04
They didn't provide, you know,
03:05
security and transportation and lodging as they had promised,
03:09
Miss USA says this led to her being sexually harassed in a
03:13
vehicle on her way to a parade.
03:16
Plus a former worker for the pageant says they actually witnessed disrespect
03:22
toward Miss Chin Usa and her family.
03:25
So there's other sources seeing this stuff going on too.
03:29
But again, they can't really speak on it like as openly
03:32
because of the ND A.
03:34
Yes, exactly. And people are literally being obsessed with the
03:38
story. They want to know what's going on,
03:40
what's going on behind the scenes.
03:42
What is it that you can't speak of for Miss USA and
03:46
both Miss USA to drop out something's happening,
03:51
something's going on, but we'll keep you guys posted.
03:57
Sister. Do you remember that Vow dress from 2015?
04:00
The white and the gold dress picture.
04:01
You mean the blue and black brother agree to disagree.
04:06
well, just to give you a refresher,
04:07
the white and gold dress.
04:09
Cute. You trust your ass.
04:10
You color blind. I'm just kidding.
04:14
It's all good. It's all good.
04:15
K Johnson and his wife,
04:17
Grace took this picture and shot to fame in 2015 over the
04:21
dress that Grace's mother wore to the wedding.
04:24
Oh, so it was a photo of a black and blue
04:28
dress which to some apparently looked white and gold.
04:33
Yes, exactly like myself.
04:36
So, as you remember all hell broke loose and people were
04:38
arguing over the color it was like,
04:41
and, but apparently the viral dress is back in the news
04:45
or at least the people attached to the viral picture,
04:48
right? Oh, what is it now?
04:50
Oh, well, it's not what you think,
04:52
Mr Johnson who took the picture with his wife,
04:54
right? Was accused of a number of instances of domestic violence
04:58
against his wife taking over the course of 11 years,
05:01
ultimately leading to an incident on March 6th,
05:04
2022 that caused her to fear for her life.
05:07
So apparently he was attacking her,
05:09
he left and he comes back with a freaking knife trained to
05:14
finish her off. And according to many outlets,
05:17
you know, Grace sent text messages to her friends asking for
05:20
help and authorities stated that,
05:23
you know, when she called in,
05:24
she was saying my husband is trying to kill me.
05:27
The dress guy is trying to kill me,
05:29
Jesus Christ. That's crazy.
05:32
But you never really know people,
05:33
right? You think like,
05:34
oh, they posted about our dress,
05:35
like they're very nice and friendly and they don't know the people
05:38
behind the. That's crazy.
05:41
This husband is trying to kill his wife and his claim to
05:44
fame was addressed. So it's like,
05:45
is this crazy that this dress is making his rounds again?
05:47
Because of the crazy story as attached to his.
05:50
It's like the, where are they now?
05:52
Yeah, it all went dark.
05:54
It all went, all went dark.
05:56
Yeah. A judge has remanded Johnson,
05:59
stay in custody until his sentencing.
06:01
And yeah, I mean like what were we saying earlier?
06:04
That maybe shit. Well,
06:05
no, but about the Netflix thing.
06:07
Oh yeah, I could definitely see this on snapped or like
06:11
a Netflix like one of those Netflix limited series like the killer
06:15
series. But thank God he didn't,
06:19
you know, commit anything.
06:21
They got him under custody.
06:24
He didn't he for the dress.
06:35
man. Ain't nobody safe in these streets anymore,
06:37
brother. What you mean?
06:39
So get this after their concert in San Antonio Grupo Firms vocalist
06:45
Edwin Cas got his truck broken into during the after party.
06:52
Yeah, it ain't safe anywhere.
06:56
That's why I don't leave shit in my car.
06:58
That's why. And people are like,
06:59
oh tint your windows.
07:00
You don't want people looking in there.
07:01
I'm like, I want them to fucking look in my car
07:04
to see. I don't have shit in there.
07:06
I don't want them breaking my shape.
07:08
No, they, you get cooked in the summer.
07:11
I mean I put sunscreen on.
07:13
But that's, besides the point the incident occurred at Reed Mexican
07:17
kitchen and bar where class was enjoying the celebration.
07:20
Damn. Can't even party in peace.
07:23
There must have been some valuable stuff because even like the restaurant
07:27
and like the restaurant slash bar,
07:29
they're even like going on social media asking for the person that
07:32
stole the, if they could return them.
07:35
That's kind of cool.
07:37
because usually I'm assuming they were like,
07:38
oh, we're not gonna get involved there but like,
07:40
that's cool that they're like showing him love and support and like
07:43
hey, get Eden's stuff back because they're probably super like
07:47
appreciative that they, that he chose their restaurant too.
07:50
So yeah, that's really nice.
07:52
If you're in San Antonio,
07:53
you know where Ed We's belongings are,
07:55
let us know or let him know at least we know.
07:59
that ain't fair. All right.
08:05
stay classy brother. You've said bad bunny baby before,
08:13
right? Yeah, I feel like a baddie when I say
08:15
it. Well, guess what?
08:18
Bad bunny's ex just sued his ass for $40 million.
08:26
Yep. Carli de la Cruz,
08:29
who's his ex and also happens to be a lawyer herself.
08:34
Dated Bad Bunny in 2015 and just cashed out $40 million for
08:40
three words. You do the math brother.
08:43
She recorded the chorus.
08:45
Bad bunny baby. I don't know how she says it but
08:47
I say bad bunny baby on her cell phone at the request
08:52
of bad bunny. And it first appeared in the song Bati
08:57
and was later repeated in D Os My and Bad Bunny continued
09:04
to use Carli's voice in his concerts.
09:07
So I mean she's so that is,
09:12
It went from bad bunny baby to sad money baby.
09:17
But like cause dude 40 million,
09:19
Wait, it's like 13 million per freaking word.
09:26
they will favor her claim of unauthorized use of her voice in
09:29
Benito's songs. And now I feel like he's looking at Kendall
09:32
like she's a saint like you wouldn't do that to me,
09:34
right? Mommy, mommy.
09:37
Well, Carli definitely stood on business brother facts.
09:40
I mean, I mean all I have to say is get
09:44
that bag girl, get that bag and I don't know about
09:48
you but ever since bad bunny started going out with Kendall Jenner
09:51
like shit's been going south.
09:54
It's the pinche Kardashian curse is the Kardashian curse.
09:58
Porque like 40 million.
10:00
It's weird. It's crazy and I knew this shit would happen
10:04
Yeah. Eight high school students were taken to the hospital by
10:12
paramedics after eating edibles at the La Brea.
10:16
Tar pits on a field trip.
10:19
The local news even called a helicopter overhead.
10:21
Dude. It's like them kids took the magic school bus on
10:24
this field trip. They're on a little ride,
10:25
you know what I'm saying?
10:26
But like, imagine your mom like watching the news and she's
10:32
Alejandro car. I see your red eyes through the camera.
10:35
They got four cases the,
10:41
oh my God. Get high in peace no more.
10:43
But I shouldn't because you know you're on the field shade.
10:44
My guys. This is true.
10:45
And you guys are in high school.
10:47
It's all about when and where brother tell me when and where
10:51
they, well, first off in high school,
10:54
no, don't do that shit.
10:55
But I'm saying now at this age I wouldn't do it at
11:00
like a place where there's a lot of people because then I
11:03
get hella paranoid. Like I think everyone's fucking looking at me
11:07
like everyone knows for sure they'd be like,
11:12
yo he's cooked, he's called,
11:16
you know, I'd be like,
11:30
but honestly, it's like a rookie mistake.
11:31
Guys. Come on first year minors and second,
11:39
But it's just like come on,
11:40
it is high school and you could never mind.
11:46
Sorry guys, please don't do it on your field.
11:55
I'm gonna say something that I shouldn't say.
11:57
So let's, let's move on.
12:02
it's kids. All right.
12:04
Well, kids stay in school.
12:10
I used to like to visit the Big Apple but I don't
12:12
know anymore. Let's stay away.
12:15
New York City mayor.
12:16
Eric Adams just said illegal aliens could solve black car shortages because
12:21
we're excellent swimmers. Yeah,
12:25
exactly. And he said that out loud with a bunch of
12:28
people and he's, like he said that with his chest.
12:32
Oh, damn. So it wasn't like a,
12:34
I mean, it wouldn't be right as a joke either.
12:40
Bessie, dude. How the hell is he in charge of
12:43
NYC Mayor Adams? What else are we?
12:46
Excellent at what else?
12:50
We're good at public speaking.
12:54
We're good at making some bomb ass car.
12:57
Asada. We're good at showing up later things.
13:03
we're hard workers. Yes,
13:06
I'm so sorry guys getting early to the airport,
13:09
you know, we show up like five hours early.
13:14
I mean, I think I'm not that we're amazing.
13:18
Yeah, we're amazing.
13:19
But anyways honestly, like I can't tell homeboy actually met there
13:23
like he had like a freaking freeze man.
13:25
like a robot. He looks a little off there.
13:28
Maybe that's when he said it.
13:30
I fucked up. Oh shit.
13:33
you anyways. But it's been a rough week in you
13:35
know, New York City.
13:36
Apparently the governor even said that Bronx kids don't know the word
13:39
computer and now we would make great life cards because we know
13:43
how to swim. Who are these people?
13:46
but I'm not going back to New York City.
13:47
That's not gonna treat me.
13:48
The disrespect, man.
13:50
You have a pizza though.
13:52
That's all I'll say.
13:53
I don't know. Today we are here with Vicky,
14:06
I've never had so many applause.
14:11
So she is our first gen Latina sister with wise words and
14:15
some bad ass workouts.
14:18
That is me. She is me.
14:20
I am her. I'm such a big fan,
14:24
when did you come up with the first gen older sister?
14:28
It was I think January of 2022.
14:31
I didn't initially just think of it.
14:35
It's just, I felt like I was kind of like writing
14:37
a letter to myself on social media.
14:40
And then I was like,
14:41
oh, it would be cool to say like first Gen Latina
14:43
sister because a lot of these girls in my D MS,
14:46
a lot of my followers call me their big sister and then
14:49
they always come in my D MS and they ask me for
14:51
well, it goes hand in hand.
14:53
I love that. And a lot of us don't have older
14:55
sisters. Like I wish I had like sisters.
14:58
I only have like a younger brother.
15:00
So it's good to have people like where it's like,
15:02
oh I can go to her to get that sisterly advice and
15:05
I'm the oldest. So Yeah,
15:08
I don't have an older sister but I am the,
15:12
And can you break down your mom hairstylist rant?
15:15
Like I feel like we've all been kind of like put in
15:18
that situation, I've had many times with my mom that it's
15:22
been my breaking point and I feel like all of us as
15:24
Latinas have that. I was my mom chauffeur.
15:27
I would basically take my mom everywhere and one day I got
15:33
you know what? Maybe this wasn't the smartest idea because then
15:35
I got hit with a bill.
15:36
I'm gonna go buy you a car.
15:38
So I'm like, I'm like,
15:39
I'm done, I'm not your chauffeur anymore.
15:41
But like, so I'm like here,
15:42
there's no more favors when she went to the hair stylist.
15:45
She's not. And I feel like a lot,
15:47
a lot of our Latino parents go through this.
15:49
They're not very outspoken.
15:51
So she literally called me and said,
15:53
hey, can you tell our hair stylist to curl my hair
15:57
today instead of straighten it?
15:58
And I'm like, you're sitting there right there with her.
16:02
And so obviously I do it.
16:05
I was so frustrated that I was like,
16:07
I'm going on a rant and I didn't expect that rant to
16:11
no, she actually got mad about got mad at me.
16:13
She's like, why are you taking me my business here?
16:15
I am again telling her business.
16:19
but we definitely can relate.
16:21
Like, there has been instances where I'm like,
16:25
But then again, I think I'm like,
16:27
oh Puerto Para and then I feel bad because I'm like,
16:31
yeah, my mom came over here when she was 17.
16:34
Freshly married. No family here.
16:36
She had two kids by the age of 20.
16:38
I'm like, I couldn't even get my life together at 20
16:42
I feel bad because she sacrificed a lot for me.
16:44
She's done a lot for me.
16:45
So which is why I give back to her a lot too
16:48
But it's frustrating because I also have other siblings.
16:52
But I'm the one that she comes to and I'm like,
16:55
I can't do it all even though you think I can,
16:57
I simply can't. And how can we put our needs first
17:00
Like what's a way to set boundaries?
17:02
Because that's a hard one.
17:04
So basically I take care of my little sister too.
17:06
So I basically have raised her along with my mom and she
17:11
would spend 3 to 4 nights in my apartment and I would
17:14
take her to school because my mom works very early mornings.
17:17
And again, I have other siblings.
17:19
Why do I have to do everything?
17:21
my breaking point yet again for a different situation and I was
17:25
vocal with her and I was like,
17:26
hey, I can't do this.
17:27
It's either I'm gonna be helping out financially or I'm gonna be
17:30
helping out physically. I can't do both because helping out everybody
17:34
else is completely draining me and she didn't talk to me,
17:38
like, for maybe two days I had to give in and
17:40
call her and now after having that conversation,
17:44
yes. Now I only take care of my sister once a
17:46
week, but it is a hard conversation to have because I
17:49
feel like our parents aren't emotionally equipped to deal with these kind
17:53
of conversations and they easily get frustrated and like my mom,
17:57
I don't know but like,
17:58
yeah, yeah, look at,
17:59
and I'm like, lady when you have a conversation about this
18:02
but they are not like that.
18:04
You get me and I feel like a lot of Latino parents
18:06
will easily shut down a conversation instead of,
18:09
you know, addressing the issue.
18:11
Exactly. You're admitting that they're wrong the wrong dude.
18:16
It really takes a lot for my mom to walk in my
18:22
It's like at least your mom does.
18:24
That has never done that Hacienda.
18:28
now you're breaking that.
18:29
I know she'll bring like,
18:32
you know, like to say,
18:32
I'm sorry, but she'll never really say it.
18:35
But so I know you mentioned kids in your videos and
18:40
do you want kids or like,
18:46
And that's OK, that is OK.
18:48
I I my mom has said also this,
18:50
that since from like people try to change my mind like,
18:54
you'll know when you're ready.
18:55
my mom has literally told me from like the age of 10
18:58
that I have always said I don't want kids.
19:00
And that also goes back to being very,
19:03
very young and not and taking care of my siblings,
19:10
you know, so I've always put a lot on my plate
19:14
I've always helped others.
19:15
I've always helped my mom and I'm just like,
19:18
you know, I don't mind doing that,
19:20
but for the rest of my life,
19:22
I don't want to take care of anybody else.
19:23
I just want to take care of me.
19:25
I wanna focus on me and live for me and that's ok
19:28
I love that and I feel like you've been doing that
19:32
right. You, you've been doing that.
19:33
So it's like I already did it like I do the school
19:35
drop off. I've done all the things I've raised the kids
19:38
I've been up with them in the middle of the night
19:40
crying at four months old.
19:41
Like I've done all of that.
19:43
I think it's a good thing to be self aware that you
19:45
don't want Children and that's ok.
19:48
That's ok. Like if people try to change your mind,
19:52
I think that's an issue on them and not on yourself.
19:56
You're doing the smart thing you're self aware.
19:58
I'm not fully equipped to be a mother and people should just
20:01
simply understand that. But they won't,
20:04
they won't, but they won't.
20:07
at the end of the day it's your life.
20:09
Yeah. Exactly. The only person opinion that matters is yourself
20:12
They're not paying your bills.

20:50
All right, today we are joined by Zeke Hernandez,
20:53
an author and professor at Wharton.
20:56
Zeke. Can you hear us?
20:59
Good to be with you is welcome.
21:02
Thank you. Thanks for inviting me.
21:04
So we're gonna be talking about your book,
21:07
your new book, The Truth About Immigration.
21:09
Why did you decide to write this book now?
21:12
Well, actually, I wrote it because we're at a historic
21:15
moment exactly 100 years ago in May of 1924.
21:19
The US passed its most restrictive immigration law in history and it
21:23
blocked the entry of all Asians,
21:25
all basically all Southern and Eastern Europeans.
21:28
And back then the concerns that America had about those newcomers were
21:33
the same concerns that we're seeing in the news today about Latin
21:36
Americans and Asians worries that they steal our jobs,
21:40
that they undermine our culture,
21:41
that they do a lot of damage.
21:43
And the political moment is such that we could make the
21:46
same mistake we made back then,
21:49
we know that that restrictive law hurt America's economy in her America's
21:54
leadership, America's safety.
21:56
And so it's important to tell the truth about what immigration really
22:00
does for us, that it's a net positive economically and socially
22:04
That's what the book is about.
22:05
It tells the evidence of those things and it,
22:07
and it does so with a lot of stories that are relatable
22:10
for everyone. So I feel you kind of touched on it
22:12
But what's the biggest myth about immigration and the economy?
22:15
Do you mind diving deeper into that?
22:17
Yeah. The biggest myth is that an immigrant and a native
22:19
are essentially identical economically and therefore they compete with each other,
22:24
right? So then people,
22:26
then you think immigrants want the same jobs as natives do,
22:29
they bring the same skills,
22:31
they have the same ideas,
22:32
they consume the same products,
22:33
they start the same kind of companies and,
22:35
and therefore if one is a substitute for the other,
22:38
there's just a zero sum competition.
22:40
The reality is that immigrants and natives are different enough economically that
22:44
they want different jobs,
22:46
they bring different skills,
22:47
they consume different products.
22:48
And that makes both immigrants and natives better off economically.
22:52
And is there one story in your research that really struck a
22:56
chord with you? on the economic side,
22:59
one story that really stood out to me,
23:01
many of your viewers might know the story of Pollo Campero,
23:04
the Central American fast food chicken chain.
23:07
But Pollo Campero has expanded aggressively in the US and continues to
23:11
grow because it's been attracted by Central American immigrants and Latinos
23:17
immigrants, right? And so of course,
23:19
that helps satisfy the craving for Pollo Campero.
23:23
that company has brought in a lot of investment and created a
23:25
lot of jobs that aren't just for the immigrant community.
23:28
They're for everybody. This is what I call the immigration investment
23:32
jobs triangle, right?
23:33
And it's the basis for a lot of the economic gains that
23:35
immigrants bring. So I tell that story and it's just,
23:38
it's just a surprising story for me and for many people.
23:42
And I tell the story of my barber,
23:44
the guy who cuts my hair,
23:45
he's he's from Latin America.
23:49
and he's an undocumented immigrant and he's really,
23:51
really good. He's actually won a lot of awards and
23:54
one day he was cutting my hair and I almost fell off
23:57
my chair because he said,
23:58
I've always dreamed of opening my own barbershop,
24:01
I have $200,000 in cash,
24:03
$200,000 ready to invest in my own business.
24:08
holy cow. This guy has a ton of money ready to
24:11
invest, but he can't do that because of some of the
24:14
limitations from living undocumented in America.
24:17
And so the great tragedy of undocumented immigration is really that it
24:21
limits the contributions that foreigners can make in this country.
24:26
