00:09
Right guys. And thank God and this is Lincoln Bio and
00:18
I'm Jenny and I'm Gene and we've got an amazing show for
00:24
we do. So today we're covering black mirror is back.
00:28
What J Lo cancels concert dates.
00:31
Family dollar is closing stores and Mother Nature attacks.
00:36
Rich people. Are you?
00:39
I'm, I'm not rich and we're talking the tiktok ban with
00:44
Congressman Castro and renters rights with Pamela Agustin.
00:53
So J Lo has canceled seven tour dates of her.
00:59
This is me now tour with no explanation.
01:05
So the singer canceled her concert dates in Cleveland,
01:09
in Nashville, Raleigh,
01:12
Atlanta, Tampa, New Orleans and Houston.
01:16
You better say sorry to all 15 of those fans.
01:22
I love J Lo but if you look at Ticketmaster,
01:25
you can see a lot of empty seats.
01:29
Yeah. Mid movie album Flop and now Ghosting Cities.
01:33
This is a new J Lo but she'll always have a special
01:38
She did Selena, what else?
01:39
She got a couple of classics on her belt and you know
01:42
she's from the Bronx like it's all right.
01:45
It's all right, Mommy.
01:45
You cool. She's still repping and she did a E Rod
01:48
She did a E Rod Marc Anthony.
01:52
Oh, man, that's a whole other segment.
01:54
We can only hope for the best with J Lo and she
01:57
Thanos with the Rings.
01:58
She's been married. How many times?
02:01
Infinity stones? Well,
02:03
I haven't been married.
02:05
you got a few on me.
02:06
So, got some unfortunate news guys.
02:13
So your local family dollar or dollar tree might be a thing
02:17
of the past. They will close 1000 total stores soon.
02:22
The closures come after family dollar was fined 41.6 million this year
02:27
for selling products that were stored in a rat infested warehouse.
02:33
the products were kept around live debt and the Cane Road its
02:37
Osco this is the largest ever monetary criminal penalty in a food
02:42
safety case. I I have a whole theory on family dollars
02:46
for you though. Yeah,
02:49
That shit all fake because you buy,
02:52
you buy one in CV S and then you look at it
02:54
and it's like quality like even the tabita of the toothpaste is
02:59
different. I don't know if you've noticed.
03:01
I think you think it's all fake.
03:03
I seen, I seen some shit and then why I tell
03:05
you they have machines for expiration date.
03:09
That luxury beachfront homeowners in Massachusetts spent $500,000 to build a sand
03:22
dune to protect their houses from the rising ocean tides.
03:27
But the sand dune was unfortunately swept away by a storm just
03:31
three days later. So 500 k gone,
03:35
swept away into the ocean.
03:37
The dune which was made up of 15,000 tons of sand did
03:42
not stand up to global warming.
03:44
Now, a Republican senator is trying to get $1.5 million in
03:50
state funding to what build another sand dune.
03:55
Let's throw more money at the problem.
03:57
Oh my God, this reminds me of Miami and all those
04:01
beachfront properties on the coastal cities like they got like three years
04:06
Oh my God, don't say that.
04:08
I'm telling you the day after tomorrow part two in Miami with
04:13
no spring breakers with no spring breakers.
04:16
The EPA says that by 2050 100 and 6 billion in
04:22
coastal homes will be destroyed by rising sea levels.
04:26
Dang. Well, when global warming knocks on the door,
04:32
you don't have a choice but to answer,
04:33
you don't, you really don't.
04:38
Netflix has officially announced that the seventh season of Black Mirrors in
04:44
The new season will consist of six episodes and a sequel to
04:47
the Popular Us S Callister episode will be part of the new
04:51
season. What do you think they'll cover in the new
04:55
I don't know. I mean,
04:57
they covered like a I in the last one kind of metaverse
05:03
What, what do you think?
05:04
I mean, my favorite episode from,
05:05
from past season was the social score one where the app is
05:10
I could relate so much to it.
05:11
Like the status, right?
05:12
Because I feel like that's how it is nowadays with like,
05:15
influencers and all that stuff.
05:16
It's like all status,
05:18
Yeah. Yeah, I definitely wouldn't be able to rent a
05:20
car like how she did in the episode and just like the
05:23
whole Yeah, the way it ended would be the beginning of
05:26
my episode because I would already be there.
05:28
I like, I like the one of the where he
05:31
like could like, like fast forward and like your mind captures
05:35
everything like in the cheating,
05:37
you know, he's like,
05:37
look at how you look at her dude that but six episodes
05:40
is too, I don't know,
05:41
2025. Like that's like two years away.
05:45
I needed that yesterday.
05:46
Yeah, so we're excited guys,
05:48
let us know if you're excited in the comments.
05:53
Ok? So everyone is talking about the tiktok ban,
05:56
right? The app could be banned if its Chinese owner doesn't
06:02
A bill was just passed in the house of representatives,
06:04
both sides coming together for that dude.
06:07
Like that is actually unheard of.
06:10
but I mean there's pros and cons,
06:11
right? On the bad side,
06:13
tiktok, which is actually banned in China and that says a
06:18
It's so weird. The app could be used by the
06:21
Chinese government to influence us politics or worse.
06:25
Two years ago, Tik Tok got into the private account of
06:29
two journalists who were writing about them.
06:31
What? Yeah, like talk about abuse of power on the
06:36
plus millions of small businesses use it for marketing.
06:39
It's a great place to see videos from all over the world
06:43
Plus girl, my for you page is finally popping like
06:46
I love it. I love it.
06:48
She knows what's up with me.
06:50
Like they know what I'm thinking.
06:53
Wait, is that the government?
06:55
Anyway. Today we have Congressman Joaquin Castro to tell us
06:59
his thoughts on the bill.
07:00
Hi, Congressman. Hey,
07:02
good to be with you all.
07:03
Thank you so much for joining us.
07:04
So you voted no on the bill.
07:07
Both you and a OC have said that the bill is
07:10
rushed. What do you mean by that?
07:12
Yeah, there's been talk for years.
07:14
It started with Donald Trump about banning tiktok and he actually tried
07:19
to do that and it was kicked out by the courts.
07:22
A and this bill was put forward in one committee.
07:26
And, but the whole Congress,
07:28
in other words, the whole House of Representatives never had a
07:31
chance to offer amendments or try to improve the bill or change
07:36
And you know, and also it was put on the floor
07:38
for a vote pretty quickly once it came out of the committee
07:41
So that's why I said it was really rushed and there
07:44
should be more time both for members of Congress,
07:47
but also for the American people to look at the legislation and
07:50
to make suggestions about changing it or approving it.
07:53
And that just didn't happen this time as a member of the
07:56
Intelligence Committee, what are your fears about the company that owns
07:59
Tik Tok? And if they don't sell well,
08:02
I said on social media that there's legitimate concerns about how the
08:06
Chinese government how it's able to draw down data from tiktok
08:12
through Bytedance because China requires companies that are based in China
08:18
to provide them data when they ask for it.
08:21
So the Chinese government actually has a lot of power over its
08:24
companies. So there is a real national security concern.
08:28
But there's also been no definitive proof that we've been provided
08:32
that Americans data has,
08:34
has been provided to the Chinese government.
08:37
You know, we kept trying to ask or,
08:38
or figure out some definitive answer or proof that there was and
08:44
none was provided. Again,
08:45
that's not to say that the possibility isn't there,
08:48
that the threat isn't there.
08:50
But we needed more time to sort out exactly what was
08:54
going on and also try to improve the bill.
08:58
Many young people worried Tik Tok is a great source of news
09:03
What do you think could replace it?
09:05
Well, listen, I think they're right.
09:06
I mean, it's obviously the app is very popular in the
09:08
United States. It's got,
09:09
I think, like 100 and 70 million users who have accounts
09:13
in the United States.
09:14
It's a source of news for people.
09:16
It's a source of entertainment.
09:19
of income of people on small business entrepreneurs use it to literally
09:24
to for their livelihoods to make money.
09:27
And so it would be tough to replace.
09:30
Now that said, of course,
09:31
there's reels on Instagram for example,
09:33
which is a similar type of platform.
09:37
it would be a big hit for people,
09:40
not just like trying to replace it because it's a source of
09:42
entertainment, but for a lot of people,
09:44
it's become a important part of their livelihood,
09:47
an important part of the American economy,
09:49
most definitely. And what are members of Congress like yourself
09:53
doing to limit how companies even American ones handle user data is
09:58
not necessarily going after one particular social media company,
10:02
but really try to figure out how we limit how all social
10:06
media companies can take your data,
10:09
your information and then use it themselves or sell it,
10:13
become data brokers and sell it to other companies who are using
10:17
it. And that was another thing with tiktok is that
10:21
even if you took away their ability to collect data.
10:23
Even e even if you change the ownership of the company,
10:26
China could still buy a lot of that data basically from
10:31
other social media apps and companies that collect it.
10:34
So we've got to take on that bigger challenge of figuring
10:38
out how we limit how social media companies collect and use people's
10:42
data. Listen, I think it's safe to say we are
10:45
more than just our data.
10:47
Ok. Like don't abuse that,
10:50
Definitely. Oh my gosh.
10:52
Well, Congressman Joaquin Castro,
10:54
thank you so much for joining us today.
10:57
really valuable insight and we hope to hear from you soon.
11:00
Hopefully with some happier news.
11:02
Absolutely. We'll see you next time.
11:04
Sounds good. Thank you.
11:10
So, rent has been skyrocketing guys and there's a housing crisis
11:15
all over the country to help us know our rights as tenants
11:20
We have Pamela Agustin Director of East Side leads here with
11:25
Hi Jenny. Thank you for inviting me.
11:27
Thank you for coming.
11:29
Thank you. Thank you.
11:30
So we know rent has gone up 30% in the last
11:34
five years. Is it a good time to be renting
11:38
Jenny, the reality is that renting is how majority of Californians
11:44
are housed today, especially here in L A county.
11:48
You know, the majority of renters,
11:49
we make up 60% of the renter population.
11:53
Yeah, and the issue is we have an affordable housing crisis
11:57
right? Where there's a lot of competition for,
12:03
you know, low income tenants.
12:05
The what really like brings the culture,
12:08
especially here in the east side.
12:11
they're at risk of being displaced.
12:16
it's tough times right now,
12:17
tough times, everything is so expensive.
12:19
So what kind of power do tenants really have?
12:23
I think tenants united are stronger,
12:26
right? So what we in my organization is I leads,
12:30
we're a coalition of eight organizations we believe in no displacement.
12:34
We live to that vision by organizing with tenants,
12:37
we educate them about their rights,
12:39
specially during the pandemic,
12:41
tenant rights were changing.
12:43
So it's important that tenants first of all know their rights know
12:47
that nobody can evict them except a sheriff and you know that
12:53
united talking amongst neighbors forming tenant associations is how they can really
12:58
win the goods and the goods is staying in their long time
13:01
neighborhoods. And do you think things can get better?
13:05
Because I'm like right now,
13:06
I'm like, oh my God is like,
13:07
you know how they say they say,
13:09
oh, like the house prices are gonna go high and renting
13:11
is only gonna go higher.
13:12
And I just wonder like are,
13:14
is there light at the end of the tunnel?
13:16
Because right now I'm like,
13:18
you know, that's very real and that's what we hear
13:21
every day. with these side leads,
13:23
right? We take calls with tenants,
13:24
we meet, meet with Tenants Weekly and I think there is
13:28
a light at the end of the tunnel.
13:29
If tenants organize, if we talk to our neighbors,
13:34
if we come together,
13:35
first of all, if tenants get an eviction notice,
13:38
right? Or a new property owner,
13:41
people should know that just because your property changed owners,
13:45
they don't have to move.
13:46
The only way that a tenant can be evicted is if a
13:49
formal eviction has been filed in the L A county courts and
13:53
then that you've lost that case and then only the sheriff can
13:56
kick you out. So the light at the end of the
13:58
tunnel for me is we are united.
14:01
We are fighting back tenants if they hear right,
14:04
especially you, Jenny,
14:05
you hear your friends,
14:07
I'm facing some challenges with my landlord or they're really harassing me
14:11
or I'm feeling threatened,
14:14
connect them to not just the salit but an autonomous tenants union
14:18
in the area. That's another way that I see a light
14:21
at the end of the tunnel.
14:22
That's Unidos and there you go.
14:26
And, and what do you think about rent control?
14:30
Isa leads. We've been pushing for a tenant bill of rights
14:33
throughout the pandemic. That's nine things that if those nine things
14:38
were in place in all 88 cities in the county,
14:42
people could really remain in their communities.
14:44
And rent control is top during the pandemic we actually saw a
14:48
big surge of organizing communities like Pasadena,
14:56
we're winning rent control and who were the people that were leading
15:00
those fights? Majority Mujeres,
15:02
immigrants, low income tenants.
15:05
So organizing really gets the goods.
15:07
Definitely, definitely. where can we follow you at East
15:12
so everybody can follow us at East Side leads.
15:16
In Instagram, Facebook,
15:21
And obviously, also our website is I leads.org and always,
15:26
you know, we have actions,
15:27
people can get connected to the movement in different ways.
15:32
actions are fun. So we'll see you in the streets.
15:35
So are there any national organizations you recommend?
15:39
Definitely right to the city alliance.
15:42
So right to the city is a move a national movement that
15:46
brings together organizations from throughout,
15:49
you know, the United States.
15:52
And it's the vision is exactly what it means,
15:55
right to the city that tenants have a right to remain in
15:58
their city, that immigrants have a right to remain in their
16:01
city. And they've been,
16:03
you know, having convenings,
16:05
they recently had one in New Orleans.
16:08
And yeah, the housing justice movement,
16:10
the tenant rights movement came together and you know,
16:13
got to learn from each other's fights because honestly,
16:17
Jenny fights are local,
16:19
but then we learn from each other,
16:21
we learn best practices,
16:23
we learn what worked and then we try to apply that,
16:25
you know, those ingredients to our unique realities.
16:31
It says housing is a human,
16:33
right? Tenants strike back.
16:35
Right. That's right.
16:36
It's love that Jenny.
16:43
Someone just won free tickets for life for a Peso Puma concert
16:49
What, what would you do though?
16:50
If you won free tickets for life?
16:53
I would be, I would ask how much first off,
16:55
like, how many can I take my primas?
16:59
my mom, it's not a dream.
17:05
Hey, congratulations. How did that happen?
17:08
What the heck, how did it happen?
17:10
Well, I was in the line at 4 a.m. and I
17:13
was with my two other friends and my little brother
17:17
Rolling Stone story record like everything like,
17:20
oh the p of Pluma started getting crazy line and,
17:24
everyone started talking about it.
17:26
So I was the first person in line.
17:29
So they're coming like all the way straight to me like,
17:32
oh, are you the first person in line?
17:34
yeah, of course they post me on their feed and,
17:37
and, and I started getting viral about it like,
17:40
oh, the Peso Pluma started the line at 4 a.m. and
17:44
it started getting viral on Instagram.
17:47
So the manager crew of Peso Pluma text me through iMessage
17:55
hey, are you Daniel?
17:58
oh, yeah, who's this?
17:59
And then, and then she told me like,
18:00
hey, we want to bring you back with Peso Luma
18:04
after a concert and I was like,
18:06
no fucking way. That was literally the,
18:08
the text and I start crying because I was like,
18:11
go, go, go and then they just come to me
18:15
and take me on the backstage with him.
18:17
The other part, you already know what's going on.
18:19
Like I just met him.
18:21
How, how many tickets do you get?
18:22
Yeah, like you could take your friends,
18:24
your family. Yes I can but,
18:28
I have to tell them with advice,
18:30
you know, like what,
18:33
what kind of seats do you get?
18:34
I mean, I'm not mine like I'm going to see him
18:37
on Maid on Chicago for Soos Festival.
18:40
He told me like I'm gonna be with him on
18:43
backstage. So that's oh my God.
18:48
did you, did you give him a high five?
18:50
Did you give him a handshake?
18:51
Would you give him a hug?
18:53
I never know how to cry because I was crying.
18:56
I was talking with him for like around 10 minutes.
18:59
So I hugged him and,
19:01
and, and everything like guys.
19:03
The most thing that,
19:04
that, that really impressed me like not gonna lie.
19:07
It was like he treated me not like a fun.
19:10
He treated me like a friend,
19:11
I swear like he treated me like,
19:14
And I was like he was so friendly.
19:18
I have your number now.
19:19
So you better have two tickets for us,
19:21

20:09
Ok, Jenny, we have a very exciting segment up next
20:13
Today we're being joined by Sandy Avila,
20:15
creator of Lady Low Rider Car Club.
20:19
Oh my God, it's awesome.
20:21
And the best part is she's actually here with her low rider
20:26
Yeah, her low rider's name is simply beautiful and she's
20:28
outside. They're both outside.
20:30
Well, what the hell are we doing here?
20:36
here we are with Sandy Avila and simply beautiful.
20:45
So, Sandy. How long have you been working on?
20:47
Simply beautiful. Well,
20:48
I've been working on her probably for like a good seven ish
20:53
plus years, but she's still not done.
20:57
Yeah. So I still she still needs a little bit more
20:59
work. How much would you say that you spent on simply
21:02
beautiful, a minimum of probably,
21:04
like, like, maybe around 60 to 70,000.
21:07
I don't keep receipts if I did,
21:10
I probably would be,
21:11
like, ah, pull my hair out,
21:18
How long have you been a fan of Lowrider magazine?
21:21
I mean, I've always been a fan since I was a
21:24
who would have dreamt of,
21:26
you know, being in the magazine,
21:27
let alone my car on the cover.
21:29
So I mean, it's amazing.
21:30
It's I I don't even have a word to explain it.
21:32
To be honest, I remember that you mentioned that it's gonna
21:37
Yes. Yes. She's going to the Peterson Museum next
21:41
month. I have to have her for a year.
21:44
Yeah. When did you fall in love with low riders and
21:52
the culture? I've always been a car person,
21:55
you know, and to be honest,
21:57
my dad built low riders when I was a child.
21:59
So I was around low riders growing up,
22:01
you know, his friends would come over with Laura.
22:02
So I was around it younger.
22:05
But to actually be in the scene actively,
22:08
it's been about eight years and my husband is the one that
22:11
brought me and pushed me,
22:12
you know, helps me the most and is really supported me
22:15
with building my car.
22:16
So did you always feel like you wanted to work with cards
22:19
because it is a lot of work.
22:20
Not so much the working part,
22:22
the infatuation of customizing a car.
22:25
I think that was the thing that I love is the customization
22:28
process. I've always just had a thing for that and,
22:31
but being a girly girl,
22:32
like, I love makeup,
22:34
I love nails. I love,
22:35
you know, so I was really embarrassed to be honest like
22:39
that. I like I had a thing for cars because I
22:41
didn't think it was cool or even a acceptable for girls to
22:44
like cars. It's really cool to see a woman such a
22:47
passionate woman actually representing,
22:49
you know, in the scene,
22:50
when you're out in the boulevard and when you're cruising,
22:53
like what kind of music do you put on to kind of
22:55
set the vibe? You know what?
22:56
Honestly, I feel like I'm really old school and I love
23:02
I love my oldies and my funk.
23:04
Do you think you could get in simply beautiful and show us
23:06
a couple of her tricks?
23:07
Yes, definitely. Thank you.
23:22
