Show transcript
00:00
What is up y'all?
00:00
Welcome back to Lincoln Bio.
00:01
I'm Alejandro and I'm Jenny and we've got a great show for
00:05
you guys today. Let's get into it.
00:07
Instagram is exposing your fake ass friends.
00:12
This new feature lets you know if someone really is supporting you
00:18
So this is what you do take notes,
00:20
brother. I am.
00:21
I'm going to try it.
00:22
So you go to someone's profile.
00:24
OK, Jenny from the block,
00:26
click the three tiny buttons and after click shared activity so you
00:33
can see your whole Instagram interactions with that person.
00:36
It's honestly giving the old remember when Instagram used to let you
00:40
know like, oh so and so liked this photo.
00:43
So and so followed this person.
00:45
So it's given that,
00:46
I mean that thing was toxic.
00:48
That's what I'm saying.
00:49
This is toxic, brother.
00:51
And honestly this new shared activity feature on Instagram is too real
00:55
brother because now I got to show more love,
00:58
you know, I I haven't been present on my,
01:00
my personal Instagram, but now I'm starting to because you know
01:06
I have mejor a Migo and I have the me to
01:08
Instagram. So it's a lot to a lot of Instagram.
01:11
It's funny you mentioned that because I,
01:12
while you were talking you over here yapping it up.
01:15
I did a little quick share activity search between us,
01:18
right? So I followed you.
01:19
Hey, Jenny's cool.
01:20
I'm gonna follow her in August of 2018.
01:24
You followed me back in October of 2018.
01:29
We were working in the same office.
01:31
I thought we were cool.
01:32
But I guess it took you two months to be like,
01:34
you know what? And don't even say about the other accounts
01:38
because you didn't have the business.
01:39
You weren't, you know what?
01:40
I didn't know you like that.
01:42
I was like, dude,
01:42
is this guy cool.
01:43
We'll see. I had to give you like a couple of
01:46
months. Sorry, I see.
01:49
Damn. Oh See this picture is freaking toxic.
01:55
I don't like it.
01:56
I don't like it at all.
01:57
It's starting and I feel a little cornered right now.
02:00
I kind of want to go through the likes too and see
02:02
how many I have liked because it's still loading for how many
02:04
years. Dude. I fucking like a lot of your stuff
02:06
You've been posting a lot of your baby stuff and you
02:09
know, I'd be there like liking everything.
02:10
So, so I guess that's another point.
02:12
I'm more present now.
02:13
I'm more present now for anyone that wants to fucking check.
02:16
I am more present now,
02:17
but I don't know,
02:18
sister. I'm not the only one that's hurt you know
02:21
what I'm talking about.
02:23
What happened upstairs when everyone started looking at your account.
02:26
I told you don't put my dirty laundry out there like this
02:31
It's ig not me.
02:33
I don't we together we were,
02:38
I don't like this not to show some love.
02:50
Yeah. You heard me?
02:54
You can still go back.
02:57
Venezuela. Authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro.
03:01
Has it cleared that Christmas will be on October 1st.
03:04
How do you fast forward Christmas brother.
03:06
How do you do that?
03:08
Maduro mentioned September is coming and I said it always smells like
03:12
Christmas and that's why this year in homage to you.
03:15
In gratitude to you.
03:16
I decree the early celebration of Christmas on October 1st.
03:20
Do you know who would be excited about this?
03:22
Mariah Carey, Mariah Carey?
03:32
That's so true. She gets that early the screams
03:36
and stuff. But damn,
03:38
bro. This dude is known for moving holiday celebrations around to
03:42
distract people from political crisis like we know what you're doing.
03:45
Like you're a slick but like who are you fooling?
03:48
My guy like Christmas in October like that's Halloween like I'm sorry
03:53
but that is Halloween like nap Paavo Halloween and homeboy is
03:56
like, we're jumping the gun.
03:58
Hell no, like I love Halloween like stop lying to baby
04:02
Jesus like really? And who really wants like I mean,
04:05
like I said, besides Mariah Carey,
04:07
who really wants Christmas sooner?
04:09
Because that means we gotta do Christmas shopping.
04:11
That means the end of year is pretty much here.
04:13
That's my anniversary. Like,
04:15
it's a, it's a lot of spending.
04:16
I don't want it sooner.
04:17
Oh, for sure.
04:18
And then my birthday is in October.
04:19
Like I do not wanna be like,
04:22
I'm sorry, but it sucks to have a birthday that's near
04:24
Christmas. It does.
04:25
I've heard it for many people that have birthdays near Christmas.
04:28
My birthday is in October.
04:29
I do not want my birthday near Christmas.
04:31
You want to separate that way you get two gifts.
04:33
Thank you. Yeah,
04:34
people get screwed over for sure.
04:36
Well, I think I know what he wants for Christmas.
04:38
His personal jet, the US has recently seen this private jet
04:42
in the dr in violation of US sanctions.
04:45
No jet Christmas in October.
04:49
I don't know, brother,
04:50
I just hope things get better for Venezuela and the people because
04:54
it's really bad over there right now.
04:55
Seriously. Homeboys is playing games.
04:57
Brazil started blocking Elon Musk's social media platform X or Twitter right
05:02
early Saturday making it unavailable on both the web and mobile apps
05:07
Elon is beefing with governments.
05:09
I'm sorry y'all, I promise Twitter wasn't like this before he
05:11
took over like it was actually fun,
05:14
a fun place. You know,
05:15
it's still fun but it's a shithole like everything's on fire but
05:21
you know, it's still little corners that makes it fun.
05:23
It's still Twitter for me and I think it's still Twitter for
05:25
everyone, I think.
05:27
Yeah, I don't know but it is out of control.
05:28
And justice Alexander De Mora,
05:31
I'm sorry if I mispronounced that warn Musk,
05:33
the ex to be banned in Brazil,
05:35
the driving forces behind the ban are number one misinformation concerns the
05:40
Brazilian government was worried about the spread of false information on the
05:42
platform. As we said,
05:44
everything goes. It's just like what's going on,
05:46
what's real, what's going.
05:49
And number two, lack of legal representative X did not appoint
05:53
a legal representative in Brazil,
05:55
which is required for operating in the country.
05:58
So it's kind of just like a free for all even more
06:00
over there just as the R I wasted no time and order
06:03
the suspension on Friday.
06:04
He also said a daily fine of 50,000 reels about $8900 us
06:09
for people or companies using VPN to access the platform.
06:13
So even if you're doing it,
06:14
like how it's gonna do that,
06:16
you're gonna get a fine.
06:17
I just leave the app at that point.
06:20
It's not worth it seriously.
06:22
I mean, but again,
06:23
like with anything, they'll find a way around it because people
06:27
they do it. Yeah.
06:30
No, it's true.
06:30
Like I think isn't Instagram banned in China?
06:33
Is it banned in China or some parts of China?
06:36
I feel like everything they own network of stuff.
06:40
Yeah. So I actually have a friend that is in China
06:43
and she has an Instagram.
06:44
So I'm like interesting.
06:47
Hey man, anything for the Gram.
06:48
Yeah. Anything for the Gram brother Brazil said X to X
06:55
despite speculation from the public,
06:57
police have confirmed that a Colorado apartment complex is not being run
07:01
by a gang and attendants are not paying rent money to its
07:05
members. So this is some bullshit.
07:09
Yeah. Rumors about the trend that Agua a large criminal organization
07:14
from Venezuela taking over the edge at Laudy apartments in Aurora.
07:19
Colorado began circulating after a video went viral,
07:23
showing men carrying guns and entering the apartment.
07:31
Wait, how many people are there?
07:32
That's it. And they just,
07:35
they're all loaded. That's crazy though,
07:37
dude. Like imagine you look at your apartment blink camera and
07:40
you're like, hey,
07:41
yo, all these dudes with freaking guns are outside and it's
07:44
not the cops or something.
07:45
It's just like what the interim Aurora police chief Heather Morris had
07:51
to clear up allegations.
07:52
The edge of Lai apartments in Aurora Colorado have not been taken
07:55
over by gang members.
07:57
Morris continued. We've been talking to the residents here and learning
08:01
from them to find out what exactly is going on and there's
08:04
definitely a different picture despite the viral post and similar sentiments circling
08:09
online city officials assert that Aurora is a safe place to live
08:12
work and visit. Isn't that where a mass shooting company?
08:15
The theater one. Yeah.
08:18
Yeah, I'm not laughing at that but it's just like,
08:21
yeah, you're right that Aurora has its history.
08:24
It has its history but it's crazy that the tenants at the
08:27
edge at loudy apartments had to hold a press conference to dispute
08:31
claims about gangs taking over the complex.
08:36
I mean, social media can paint any narrative nowadays.
08:38
Brother. No. Yeah,
08:39
it just, it sucks.
08:40
It's all fake news and it always creates a narrative of again
08:43
where are they from?
08:44
Supposedly Venezuela? Exactly.
08:46
And so they're like,
08:47
oh Latinos coming into our apartment complex and taking over these,
08:50
you know, these gangs taking over.
08:52
It's like, oh dude,
08:53
freaking Fox news was eating this shit.
08:57
Oh brother, they,
08:58
oh this, they're playing this like a fiddle right now because
09:01
and the only reason I know is because they play that
09:05
shit at the gym where I go.
09:07
So they have it there and I'm just like,
09:09
you know, doing my thing on the treadmill and then all
09:11
of a sudden I'm like,
09:11
oh man, that's why I like gangs and this and this
09:14
and this and that,
09:15
you know, and I'm like,
09:17
hm, fake news.
09:19
They never, I mean,
09:20
sometimes they only even fact check.
09:21
So it's like, again,
09:22
like if they believe this and they ran with it,
09:25
it's like, bro.
09:27
So you can't believe anything.
09:30
Hey, guys, we are here in Hollywood at the Beetle
09:33
juice, beetle Juice,
09:34
the afterlife experience. And I never thought I'd be so excited
09:37
for the afterlife. Mhm.
09:46
I needed to renew my passport to the afterlife.
09:49
Oh, perfect. There's pencils.
09:57
I think we have to go God,
10:00
thank God there's no,
10:03
am I good to go?
10:04
She said we're good.
10:05
We just need a photo.
10:06
Ok? I wanna go on the train.
10:13
You take me girl after that train station.
10:16
Let's see if we catch the right one.
10:22
We are going to the afterlife because we're fucking dead.
10:26
Like how did you die?
10:27
It's something adventurous. I was skydiving.
10:30
Oh my God. I actually got in a really bad car
10:34
accident. So we're here at the afterlife and the first thing
10:40
we have to do when we get to the afterlife is they
10:43
have to take their picture.
10:44
So we're going to an afterlife photo shoot.
10:47
Oh well, I think this is our stop.
10:48
Should we get off?
10:49
Let's go, let's go.
10:50
Oh my God, the doors are going to we are going
10:59

11:03
I have Google Maps feet per I'm sorry,
11:05

11:07

11:16
Where's the picture place?
11:19
Where can we go?
11:19
Our passport pictures any set of gold that way?
11:23
Ok, so we're going in the right direction.
11:24
Thank you, my friend.
11:32
Oh my gosh. I don't know about you girl but I
11:35

11:40

11:48

I can't believe I'm doing this beetle juice,
12:58

13:02
Ha I need you to help me save my daughter.
13:06
Like, how do I know that you're gonna keep your word
13:08
I swear on my dead mother's soul.
13:10
Oh, damn. It.
13:12
They're calling us back to,
13:14
to life. Our time here is up.
13:16
They're reviving us guys.
13:17
So we have to go.
13:18
I was having so much fun.
13:19
I like it here.
13:20
I really like it here too.
13:22
Oh, well, all right guys.
13:24
We'll see you next time.
13:25
This has been Jenny and Daniela.
13:28
See you back to you guys back to real life.
13:39
Hey, guys, welcome back to LA Open and brother.
13:44
I know we always talk about it.
13:47
Housing is so freaking expensive,
13:49
right? Now like,
13:51
oh, I know I moved out and I've been saving and
13:54
saving and saving, but I don't see anything happening.
13:56
All these mortgages and down payments and I just feel like our
13:59
generation is doomed. I just give up.
14:00
No. What? We can't,
14:02
we can't get it together.
14:05
Can I get my cards back?
14:08
Well, look, today we have Representative Analise Ortiz who fights
14:13
for housing affordability and first time home buyer programs.
14:17
How you doing? Good and you could be better if I
14:20
can afford a house but good.
14:25
I can't complain. I can't complain.
14:27
Well, thank you so much for taking the time with your
14:28
representative. You wanted to ask.
14:30
So we keep hearing about venture capitalist firms and corporations buying up
14:34
homes making housing unaffordable.
14:37
Can you tell us a bit more about that?
14:38
I represent a district here in Arizona that is majority Latino and
14:43
it includes West Phoenix in South Glendale.
14:46
And corporate homeownership continues to be a problem because,
14:50
because we have corporations who are seeing that Arizona has a housing
14:55
shortage and they're taking advantage of that by buying homes and then
14:59
renting them out at much higher prices.
15:01
I know both presidential candidates have dropped their housing policies this election
15:06
Can you tell us about Kamala Harris's new plan for
15:09
affordable housing and how it affects the Latino community?
15:13
I'm really encouraged to see that Vice President Harris and governor walls
15:18
really see the importance of building more housing as a crucial need
15:23
to drive down costs.
15:24
We have what is essentially a huge supply and demand problem when
15:29
it comes to housing.
15:29
We have too many people that want,
15:32
need a place to live and we just have not
15:35
been building at the rate that is necessary.
15:37
And then you add on the complications of having those corporate homeowners
15:41
and you're left with this affordability crisis that we're seeing right now
15:45
I'm very encouraged that Vice President Harris wants to build and
15:50
to expedite development of all types of housing.
15:53
She also has proposed giving homeownership down payment assistance up to $25,000
16:00
to help families pay that down payment.
16:03
And this is huge for Latinos because we continue to be behind
16:08
our white counterparts when it comes to homeownership.
16:11
And that has to do with the many,
16:13
many factors, but it absolutely has to do with systemic racism
16:17
that has impacted housing from the beginning of this country's inception.
16:22
So the fact that she wants to give people that little bit
16:25
of assistance so they can get into a house and to level
16:28
the playing field so that regardless of race,
16:31
you can become a homeowner.
16:33
I'm really excited about that.
16:35
So there's some hope for us.
16:36
Is there some hope we need it?
16:39
And I know that both and JD Vance have openly spoken about
16:43
supporting undocumented immigrants to make room for housing.
16:45
How would that even work?
16:46
First of all, it's just absolutely ridiculous.
16:50
They are playing this game that they love to play,
16:52
which is to demonize migrants and blame them for all of the
16:57
other problems that exist in our country when that is just not
17:01
true. And it is not the case.
17:02
It's really wrong to try to equate our housing crisis with immigration
17:07
and the normal immigration patterns of people coming to America and making
17:11
it their home. They,
17:13
they have said repeatedly that they want mass deportations and that should
17:16
terrify anybody. It would bring in huge constitutional and civil rights
17:20
violations. And then on top of that,
17:23
this whole idea that it would somehow address our housing crisis is
17:27
just bogus. It seems like again,
17:29
like you said, it's a scare tactic and just an excuse
17:31
right, the scapegoat for this.
17:33
And do they actually have any substantial policies that could help like
17:36
homeowners or is it just all?
17:38
And it's kind of,
17:39
unfortunately, I have not really seen anything that would be a
17:43
substantial change to the need for home ownership to be more attainable
17:48
Coming from the Republican Party here in Arizona,
17:51
we have had some success in pushing bipartisan legislation on housing.
17:56
So I'm excited about the bipartisan wins.
17:59
We've been able to get done through our state legislature,
18:02
but it's very different on the federal level.
18:04
It much more complicated to get Congress to agree.
18:08
And so I feel as though what we're seeing definitely from
18:13
the presidential candidates Vice President Harris is the only candidate with
18:18
an actual plan that is going to drive down the cost of
18:21
rent and housing. Ok.
18:22
These are the presidential candidate policies,
18:24
but is there anywhere else that we can find help?
18:27
I mean, it's tough out here in the streets.
18:30
Yeah, I mean,
18:31
is there any like additional bills in play to help first time
18:34
home buyers that we should be aware of?
18:36
I would encourage you in whatever state you're watching from to
18:40
look into your state's housing departments you might be able to find
18:46
some assistance there here in Arizona.
18:48
I was really proud to have played a key role in doubling
18:52
investments to our state's housing trust fund and some of that money
18:56
went to a down payment assistance program here locally.
19:00
So it's definitely something that within your own respective states,
19:03
you should be pushing your elected leaders to take action on the
19:07
local level. Thank you so much,
19:09
Representative Ortiz, we really appreciate you,
19:11
you know, helping us out with this and,
19:13
and giving us more resources and we're definitely more hopeful and maybe
19:19
you know, I will be a homeowner one day.
19:20
You too. Oh,
19:22
sure. But we need more people like you because yeah,
19:26
it's tough out there.
19:27
I know, I keep saying it,
19:28
but it's really, really tough,
19:29
but how can we follow you and support?
19:32
