00:05
Yo, welcome back to me too.
00:06
Daily. I'm Alejandro and I'm Jenny and sister.
00:10
I just wanna get to the news.
00:11
Let's go. Let's do it.
00:16
sister has no one ever hit you with the when the
00:19
moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie.
00:26
No brother. I'm still waiting for him.
00:30
I drunk somewhere right now.
00:31
To be honest, I don't know with a little wine glass
00:34
the juices are flowing.
00:36
Well, look, apparently the chance of that happening have now
00:40
doubled. What do you mean?
00:42
Earth will get a second moon for about two months this year
00:45
when a small asteroid begins to orbit our planet?
00:48
Oh my God. So in that song,
00:49
small one move now says there's two moons.
00:53
I have to check in with my horoscope.
00:55
Girlies. They need to explain what this means for my son
00:58
My ass is a Scorpio.
01:00
You know this brother.
01:01
So this can't be good.
01:03
And then, and then you know the tide brother,
01:06
we're doomed. Two moons pulling it.
01:09
Now is that how it works.
01:12
the was discovered in August and it's set to become a mini
01:15
moon revolving around earth in a horseshoe shape from September 29th to
01:19
November 25th. 0 my gosh.
01:21
Oh my God. This is going to be so crazy.
01:22
I wonder how close they are going to be to each other
01:24
If I had to collide they would die.
01:29
look so getting all technical now its name is 2024 dash PT
01:34
five and it's only 10 m.
01:36
I think Elon Musk would name his child.
01:40
That is true. Right?
01:41
A one X 24 maybe he named this thing.
01:44
He saw it. He was like he was in a test
01:46
Oh look, it's only 10 m.
01:48
So it's pretty small,
01:49
right? That's about 33 ft.
01:51
It's about as big as our two story studio.
01:53
So not that big if you think about it,
01:56
but it could end us.
01:57
I'm just kidding. I was like,
01:59
oh no, no deep impact like a movie.
02:03
Dude. I can imagine the Astrology girls and Crystal mommies about
02:11
they're gonna be like,
02:11
hey look, there's two moons now.
02:13
So we got double the options rising,
02:16
there's two rising moons now.
02:19
you know what's going to happen.
02:21
But also if those girls come up to you run on a
02:24
lighter note, I know that was kind of dark and they
02:26
were going to go a little darker.
02:28
That's why I was like,
02:33
Ok, look. So we're not gonna die but we're gonna
02:36
go back, take it back a little bit.
02:38
Right? So we're gonna almost die.
02:41
Well, actually this law protects you from any explain,
02:45
please. There is apparently a no Chala law where,
02:49
well, before we get into it,
02:50
all I want to say is where was this law when I
02:53
was growing up? Because there was a couple of times where
02:55
it got pretty intense and oh Jesus Christ,
03:01
what's way see us are talking about that was the kind of
03:05
stuff we were dealing with back then.
03:06
It exists in Colombia,
03:07
right? There is this law that would have saved my ass
03:10
so many times. Well,
03:14
It's a no chan la law.
03:16
Stop playing with me.
03:17
I know my mom's hands like twitch and she's like no dude
03:23
look. So it's called the Anti Law and it's a real
03:26
law since 2021. And it's aimed at eliminating physical and psychological
03:31
harm towards Children. Why was this not around when I was
03:35
growing up? And you know what?
03:37
I don't think it's technically still around.
03:39
They're just like, oh yeah,
03:39
no child abuse. Like no,
03:40
we need specifics. Like for these Latino parents,
03:42
I was like, no specifically chan class.
03:44
So like this clips of it being discussed on the Colombian news
03:47
and it's doing numbers on tiktok and that's why it's,
03:49
you know, resurfaced.
03:50
Like, dude, 2021 has been around for a minute.
03:53
Like has Mexico done this,
03:55
has the US done this.
03:56
We're the best country in the world but we don't have the
03:59
But I can already hear the mo saying like,
04:09
you know what we need though,
04:16
is it? I don't know.
04:18
But as soon as you start for a,
04:21
you're just like, oh no,
04:24
yeah, like Angelito that me and my brother were like argue
04:29
all of a sudden my dad just does and I'm like,
04:33
I love you. You know what spot is doing the thing
04:38
with the seats. We laughing about this.
04:43
I mean, I just do it now and like SD oh
04:46
sorry, I mean I never want to hit my kids like
04:50
that dude. It's like,
04:55
this here. So I mean,
04:56
I guess I kind of want to ask you wouldn't use a
04:58
chunk on your kids or any kind of P PPP is different
05:02
I think pow pow is like what's P PPP?
05:05
I think like a little like a little brother.
05:15
I have a buck like a big ass.
05:17
I got branded with that buckle by accident.
05:19
Really? This accident by accident.
05:33
there's some trauma. No,
05:34
I'm just kidding. But now I know I don't want to
05:39
Like, when did your parents?
05:40
apparently you've had some experiences with the,
05:43
what was that one moment where your parent was?
05:46
Like, you know what?
05:47
We're too old for this shit.
05:48
I don't remember. But I know that they stopped and I
05:51
think they felt bad.
05:52
They're like, we shouldn't be hitting your kids.
05:55
That realization for me.
05:57
I asked because I feel like my story is kind of funny
06:00
We were in the kitchen somehow.
06:01
I don't know. And I was like,
06:05
and she gets a spoon and she's about to hit my arm
06:08
and I just put my arm up and it breaks and she
06:11
was like, they have to be quiet.
06:14
I like that. That was the last thing.
06:17
this guy's a freaking teenager.
06:19
He's old already. But anyway,
06:24
yeah, don't come after my parents guys,
06:26
you know, they were like,
06:28
I guess back in the day,
06:30
I don't know. But they learned from it and guess what
06:34
I am not going to hit my kids just pop up
06:40
I need jean for this one.
06:45
Am I tranquil? Gene?
06:46
Have you heard about these pandas at the Shanwei Zoo in China
06:50
Jenny, I love pandas,
06:52
especially when they're express.
06:54
But I haven't heard of them and I love pandas.
06:57
They're usually clumsy as hell.
06:59
Always falling off shit.
07:00
Like pretty sure there's nothing behind those eyes but they're cute.
07:03
Well, check these pandas out.
07:05
Do they look weird too?
07:06
I don't, I don't think pandas are that small j and
07:10
why does this guy have a tail?
07:12
I've never seen a panda with a tail while they look fake
07:15
for sure. Because they are,
07:17
they are fake zoo goers in China got fines after discovering that
07:23
the so called pandas were actually dogs with for how can you
07:28
not tell that's not a panda,
07:29
Jenny. Honestly, it would have fooled my ass.
07:31
I'll tell you that you would have got cooked.
07:33
They're so cute in especially seeing a panda for the first time
07:36
You would have been posting like you,
07:38
it would have fooled me seeing a panda.
07:40
I've never seen a panda with I've never seen a panda
07:43
in real life, but you know what?
07:45
It didn't last long for people to know and they got caught
07:48
up the zoo initially tried to play it off by saying they
07:51
were a breed of panda dogs,
07:55
but customers weren't having it and they began asking for refunds,
07:58
which is what I would do.
08:00
When asked a rep from the zoo said there are no panda
08:04
bears at the zoo and we wanted to do this as a
08:06
result, bro. Are you serious?
08:10
So they went to Canal Street and just picked up a dog
08:12
like let's go, oh my God,
08:17
they're about as fake as those purses.
08:18
They saw on Canal Street.
08:19
My friend. That's some bullshit though.
08:22
It is. But honestly,
08:24
yeah. Yeah, the people running that zoo,
08:26
y'all really got it though cause I gotta tip my hat because
08:30
y'all really, we're fooling people with this nineties ass cartoon scheme
08:35
and y'all might be the scammers of the year with this one
08:37
because I'm sure it lasted a while before they found out they
08:44
wear mascara, got them dressed up and shit.
08:46
I hope at least they're using you know,
08:48
like things that are safe for them,
08:53
But that does look like me when I wake up at night
08:57
of partying, it has one eye than the other.
09:00
That's why tell me take off your makeup before you go to
09:03
bed. That's how I look when I don't take.
09:05
But now I don't know about you,
09:07
but now I'm going to be checking extra hard when I go
09:09
to any zoo. I freaking,
09:19
hey guys, we are here with Venezuelan comedian Francisco Ramos at
09:26
a Mara cafe and I heard it's the best f fun spot
09:30
man. So let's find out we gotta get in there because
09:32
people get, we gotta get a table.
09:38
So, have you been here before Francisco?
09:40
Yes, this is a very special place.
09:43
This is where they go to places to go get Venezuelan food
09:45
and, and especially if you're in Pasadena.
09:47
See, I'm wondering what,
09:49
Because some of these things I've never heard of,
09:53
the most popular dish is arepas.
09:54
I or I think arepa Rena pepi is very popular,
09:57
which is like chicken with avocado and mayonnaise.
10:00
It's really good. I have to try it.
10:01
I'm excited to try it.
10:02
Kenya are also very famous in Venezuela because that's,
10:04
it's like a mozzarella stick,
10:06
but 100% much better.
10:08
It's baked. The cheese is based like everybody you can have
10:11
sauces and you can dip it or you can eat it by
10:13
itself. It's delicious.
10:14
So yeah, just order.
10:19
These are the, this is like it's like garlic sauce.
10:24
This is like guava and then garlic sauce.
10:28
So don't kiss your girlfriend.
10:31
Oh Wow. It is hot at that.
10:45
don't quit. That's all that's us.
10:54
Oh Thank you so sweet.
10:59
And like this, you can use it like that and like
11:02
a sandwich you can just like go in.
11:07
I'm not even saying it just to be polite like it's really
11:10
good. Hey, that was a good bit.
11:18
I love cheese. My dad used,
11:20
we used to stop at like a cheese food truck in Venezuela
11:24
and then like to take home.
11:26
So like and you could always have the samples.
11:29
So I was a little kid.
11:30
I mean I'm like those now,
11:33
but I don't care what was the biggest culture shock.
11:40
Like, after moving from Venezuela,
11:43
remember, like, for example,
11:44
one thing going to the supermarket and seeing how full it was
11:49
I remember going like,
11:50
wow, like, so many types of milks and I remember
11:53
going around and it was like,
11:55
and like, cold and like,
11:57
it was ac and you were like,
12:06
I've been here since I was 12 more American than Venezuela into
12:11
a white family. Yeah.
12:14
I guess she's from North Carolina.
12:16
So like, I remember and we met when get out was
12:21
so I remember when they she's like,
12:23
hey, you wanna come visit my family?
12:24
I was like, are they gonna have any tea or like
12:28
you? But it was complete opposite.
12:30
They're great. They're very,
12:32
you know, like loving and very,
12:34
you know, nice to me and like,
12:35
they made me feel welcome since the beginning.
12:39
I mean, and one thing that I,
12:40
I think obviously one of the reasons that we're together is because
12:43
she's also very family oriented.
12:47
like that's, that's all we have,
12:49
you know, what we do in terms of everything is with
12:51
the family. So the fact that she's also very family oriented
12:54
that's, that was like a huge pa you were part
12:56
of the Netflix. The Joke Festival.
13:00
It was awesome because my first time that it gave me a
13:01
show, luckily I sold out at the Hollywood improv and it
13:05
was good to be just part of it also to hang because
13:06
festivals with comedy is the best.
13:08
Things are hanging out in the Hollywood palladium.
13:10
They like, set up a whole thing where like,
13:12
would you hang out with all the comedians?
13:14
So you see comedians that are,
13:15
are in New York or nationally?
13:18
So it's cool to see that.
13:19
Do you cook Venezuelan food like yourself or if so like what's
13:23
like your go to dish?
13:25
I think Arepas definitely.
13:26
It's like I make him,
13:28
you know, like in my,
13:28
because it's, it is very,
13:29
very easy to make you,
13:31
you can buy the flour at any Latina restaurant because my dad
13:35
he used to like make it like the,
13:37
where you put it like in a,
13:38
like in a griddle and like,
13:39
you know, cook it like the,
13:40
the, the old school way.
13:42
So I still do it like that.
13:44
I make arepas, you know,
13:45
at home all the time.
13:48
So the special is called Venezuelan American.
13:50
So right now it's on youtube,
13:52
basically a good snapshot of who I am,
13:55
you know, and what I like to talk about,
13:56
you don't have to be kind of like Latino to understand what
13:59
I'm talking about. But if you're,
14:01
but also you're still learning about the Latino culture throughout my eyes
14:05
being Venezuelan from getting married about to get married from like relationships
14:09
We wanted to talk to you about what's going on
14:13
why is it important for people to know,
14:15
like, what's happening over there right now?
14:17
Well, I think it's super important because obviously there's a
14:20
lot of misconceptions and fake news about what's really,
14:24
you know, what's happening and what's really happening is basic is
14:26
the will of the people wasn't respected.
14:28
You know, it's just you know,
14:29
there was, it's an obvious election that was lost and the
14:33
government doesn't wanna give it away,
14:35
doesn't wanna give their power and like,
14:37
and, and, and there's now just injustice.
14:39
So, yeah, I think people just need to be educated
14:41
and spread the news,
14:42
keep sharing the news because now there's a lot of especially
14:46
the government right now,
14:47
they're kind of censoring a lot of the stuff people cannot share
14:50
especially in Venezuela,
14:51
what's going on. So I think our especially,
14:54
you know, Venezuelan,
14:55
people about anybody else share what's happening as much as you can
14:59
So people are still aware of us,
15:00
you know. Thank you so much Francisco.
15:03
This is, this is great.
15:04
This is a great conversation.
15:05
Thanks for having me.
15:06
Thanks for the brother.
15:08
Did you see Inventing On Netflix?
15:11
It's like a limited series on Netflix.
15:13
So it's about a real woman.
15:16
She is actually an immigrant from Russia,
15:19
but she pretended to be German and she scammed a bunch of
15:23
high profile people here in the US.
15:27
And it's just basically about her life just scamming all these people
15:30
And she ended up actually going to jail for it.
15:32
She got caught, I don't want to ruin it for you
15:34
but she did get caught.
15:35
She went to jail but you know,
15:38
they did not deport her and now she's with an ankle monitor
15:42
on dancing with the stars.
15:44
So they got her doing the cha cha and everything on dancing
15:47
with the stars of the ankle monitor.
15:48
They even bedazzled the ankle monitor on Yeah,
15:52
they bedazzled it out for the show.
15:55
She served her time but she was never deported or anything.
15:58
While others like our next guest,
16:01
Annie Garcia got deported to Mexico for a similar reason.
16:06
Yeah, so we have Annie on Hi,
16:10
Annie. Hello. Thank you so much for having me.
16:14
Thank you for coming on and telling your story.
16:17
So we'll just jump right into it.
16:19
So unlike Anna Delby,
16:21
you were deported and Anna Delve is on dancing with the stars
16:26
with an ankle monitor.
16:27
Do you feel like that?
16:29
It's fair for her to participate in a show like this?
16:33
Well, I think context is important when comparing our two cases
16:36
And my answer to that is the yes and no
16:38
Firstly, I was deported because I opted not to fight
16:41
my immigration case. As a green card holder,
16:44
I was convicted of similar crimes like Anna,
16:46
I opted not to fight my case although I had several grounds
16:49
for immigration relief because I was subject to mandatory detention as an
16:53
aggravated felon under immigration law,
16:54
which is the same thing that Anna should be subject to.
16:58
However, I can issue discretion as I have in Anna's case
17:01
to provide an ankle monitor on some type of public benefit,
17:06
maybe humanitarian reasons, et cetera.
17:09
So my my question being,
17:12
is it fair for her to participate?
17:15
From my perspective as an individual?
17:17
Yes, Anna is somebody that has served her debt to society
17:20
She has paid for her crimes.
17:22
She was sentenced. And I do believe that felon should be
17:25
allowed to reintegrate into society.
17:27
However, from an immigration perspective,
17:30
I say no, because what is a public benefit for Anna
17:34
who should be subject to mandatory detention like the rest of us
17:37
What is a public benefit in her being out while she
17:39
fights her case? She doesn't have any dependence she has,
17:43
I believe no family.
17:45
And so when I compare that to my case,
17:46
I was a nursing mother to and a mother to five Children
17:50
who are United States citizens.
17:51
My kids ended up on public assistance after I was detained
17:56
and there was a public charge really to society once I was
18:00
detained. So when I compare those our two cases do I
18:04
feel that she's on an ankle monitor?
18:05
No. Do I feel that it's fair for her to
18:08
participate as an individual?
18:10
Yes, because she deserves the right to,
18:12
you know, she served her time.
18:16
from two very, you know,
18:17
different perspectives. I see a lot of people upset with Anna
18:20
or dancing with the stars and I believe that that's displaced.
18:23
You should be upset with the broken immigration system that has not
18:27
held immigrants equally accountable.
18:29
Don't be mad at Anna.
18:29
Don't be mad at dancing with the stars.
18:31
Be mad at, I be mad at the Department of Homeland
18:33
that they have allowed her particular case to receive that that many
18:38
of us do not and that there are many more compelling cases
18:42
that should have been granted some type of discretion or relief that
18:46
have not for whatever reason.
18:48
No. Yeah. Thank you for again showing both sides.
18:50
I really appreciate you breaking it down from again,
18:53
both angles and then you experience custody issues while being separated across
18:59
the border from your Children.
19:00
How did this impact you and your family?
19:02
I want to say that it's probably one of the most challenging
19:04
things that we went through as a family unit.
19:07
Ironically, one of the promises that ice made to me is
19:09
that by signing my deportation order was the fastest way to reunite
19:13
with my Children and I would be back with them within a
19:15
week. And that obviously didn't happen.
19:17
It actually took me a year of fighting the,
19:19
you know, the family system and,
19:21
and for custody to be returned to me,
19:23
the family separation that we endured.
19:25
I mean, we're still healing from it.
19:26
Six years later, it's something that stays with you.
19:29
And especially even in my youngest child who was just nine months
19:32
old, nobody really follows up on what happens to us or
19:35
the things that we deal with after deportation and not just us
19:40
citizens that are related to the people that are being deported,
19:43
whether were parents, sisters,
19:44
brothers, spouses, et cetera?
19:46
Most definitely. And,
19:48
and are you comfortable telling us what it is that,
19:51
that you did and like,
19:54
I'm very candid about the crimes that I committed.
19:57
I pled guilty to several,
19:59
three separate cases of check fraud,
20:02
possession of forgery,
20:04
theft by deception. All fancy names for,
20:07
I was stealing money from the companies that I was employed by
20:09
Do I have a regret for those crimes?
20:11
Absolutely. I had a completely different mindset than I do now
20:14
and I was under a completely different circumstances.
20:18
and I regret more than anything,
20:20
the ripple effect that those crimes had as well.
20:23
You know, for me to my family community,
20:25
the businesses, the victims.
20:27
But it's what has shaped me into where I'm at today and
20:31
to be able to advocate for people like me,
20:34
I know there's many people like me living in the US that
20:38
were childhood arrivals that maybe lack the education and awareness of how
20:42
sensitive, you know,
20:44
our situations can be.
20:45
And although those permanent resident cards say permanent,
20:49
they are not permanent and they can be taken away.
20:52
Thank you for sharing and you know,
20:54
being so open with us about and what are your hopes for
20:57
the future in Mexico,
20:58
Both for yourself and your Children to continue healing and lighting away
21:03
for other immigrants like us,
21:05
whether it's lighting a pathway home to Mexico or a pathway back
21:08
into the US. I've tried to show other people like us
21:11
whether immigrants or spouses of immigrants that there is life on the
21:16
you can succeed, you can find good employment,
21:21
you know, and a lot of times I know when I
21:23
was facing deportation, the idea of being here was scary because
21:26
everything you see in the media is that,
21:29
you know, the Mexico is not safe and poverty and there's
21:32
no jobs. And so I have tried to get that across
21:36
from my content that there is life here.
21:39
It's a different type of life,
21:41
a different speed of life.
21:43
But you know, wherever we are all together is home,
21:46
wherever your family can be together,
21:48
you can create a home.
21:49
Most definitely. And you know what a lot of people are
21:51
moving to Mexico from here.
21:54
So, but thank you so so much,
21:56
Annie. We really appreciate you opening up to us and being
21:59
very transparent and I know your story has probably already touched so
22:04
many people. And so thank you so much.
22:08
And where can people find you on social media?
22:10

22:15
