00:05
Hey guys, welcome back to Mitu Daily.
00:07
I'm Jenny and I'm Alejandro.
00:09
We have a fun show for you guys today.
00:10
So let's get into it.
00:12
L A needs affordable housing so badly that we gotta buy it
00:16
in bulk. Where is this call?
00:19
So look, our favorite bulk seller.
00:21
Costco is actually getting into the housing game in L A.
00:24
What they broke ground on a new location in South L A
00:28
but this one is going to have a little something extra 800
00:32
apartments right on top of it.
00:35
That's like an unlimited pantry brother.
00:38
Like you don't need to go on a whole grocery shopping trip
00:41
You just walk down and get whatever you need.
00:43
I got to go downstairs and get some,
00:45
I don't know, bread,
00:46
some soda. You're good.
00:50
Are you serious? Serious?
00:52
They about to have the membership counter as a reception desk?
00:55
Really? You just got to stand here.
00:58
Yeah, that'd be cool.
00:59
I mean a little exclusive.
01:02
But anyways look, we don't have a ton of details yet
01:04
but we do know that the new location will be in
01:06
the Baldwin Hills neighborhood.
01:10
I have the black card.
01:12
The executive, is it the executive?
01:16
But imagine they have a new color now for the people that
01:19
that's above the black brother.
01:21
So we're not like now we're going to be looked down upon
01:26
literally because they're above the con.
01:29
Well, hopefully they have a gym because I know my big
01:32
back ass would be terrorizing them sample tables every day and I'd
01:36
be dressing up in different outfits just so that they don't recognize
01:40
sample tables. Hate to see me coming.
01:42
You know I've heard they don't really like they can't really show
01:44
you away so they can,
01:46
that's free food. I want a little lunch break.
01:50
Go downstairs but sometimes they get me because it's good and I'm
01:53
like, oh where do I get this?
01:56
Yeah. Yeah. Anyways but like,
01:58
dude, imagine having those like the iconic Costco hot dog an
02:03
elevator right away. You know what?
02:05
I'll take the stairs.
02:06
I don't feel as guilty but I don't know if my big
02:09
bet can handle that.
02:09
Convenience sister. You scared me,
02:15
dude, you got to warn me about these things.
02:19
I especially the the what is it called?
02:21
The bake the chicken,
02:23
the chicken with Tabasco in it.
02:26
You know what they did the right so cost could bring back
02:30
the OG but, but why,
02:32
why are they building like this like is this called like mixed
02:36
residential? Like can I pick up shifts if I need extra
02:40
cash or work off a new TV,
02:42
like I have so many questions.
02:44
Well, the developers are actually taking advantage of California's new affordable
02:47
housing laws that speed up development if the builders offer 20% of
02:52
the units to low income families.
02:54
Yeah, the Costco project will have approximately 100 and 84 units
02:57
specifically just for that.
02:59
Ok, Costco, I see what you're doing.
03:04
Yeah. The project broke ground last week and is expected to
03:06
bring in 400 new jobs and it will take 2.5 years to
03:10
complete. So I mean,
03:12
if you're shopping around for apartments,
03:14
you know, maybe get something a little low key and then
03:16
save up for this bad boy.
03:17
I don't know. Imagine like to say you live at the
03:20
Costco apartments. I wonder if they're going to be called the
03:22
Costco apartments or they're gonna be called the Kirkland signature apartments.
03:26
What do I do wonder like?
03:29
Is it going to be the Kirkland,
03:30
the Kirkland apartments, the Kirkland apartments,
03:33
Kirkland. What is it like?
03:36
Residency, Kirkland estates estates?
03:41
Well, guys, would you live in the Costco apartments?
03:44
Let us know why are people like this?
03:47
Apparently. Diddy's music catalog has seen a jump in streams since
03:51
his arrest last week.
03:53
The charges against him don't look good.
03:56
Sex trafficking, sexual abuse of minors.
03:59
The list goes on and on.
04:00
Yet his music stream saw an almost 20% increase in the last
04:07
you're just giving him money for his legal fees.
04:10
Don't go on Spotify and look him up.
04:13
I mean, that's the thing too.
04:14
It's like a lot of people don't maybe like Gen Z or
04:18
Generation? Alpha? You mean?
04:20
The, the younger one?
04:21
Yeah. Like, maybe they didn't grow up listening to him
04:24
or, like, knowing who he is.
04:27
but they're probably like,
04:30
oh what song does he even have got you?
04:32
So maybe that's also a reason for the streams.
04:35
But then two, it's like,
04:39
To be honest, I mean,
04:40
it's like he died because literally like,
04:43
like he's done like done.
04:45
So when a music artist dies,
04:48
what happens to the music was a good one?
04:53
You want to get to know Diddy in his prime?
04:57
I don't know at his peak.
04:58
But it's all this fuss.
05:04
his downfall has been crazy though.
05:06
His ass about to be locked up.
05:14
I mean, it is crazy though because it also happened when
05:17
R. Kelly fell off because his music streams and downloads also
05:21
doubled after all that went down.
05:23
I will never listen to Ignition the same way again,
05:26
brother. So you still listen to it.
05:29
I don't, I don't listen to him to say I never
05:32
I'll never like the lyrics.
05:35
They just don't sit well with me now,
05:37
you know, but you know what numbers I do want to
05:41
see the ones for Kesha's Tik Tok remix.
05:47
So she changed the intro to one of her songs and switched
05:53
it to wake up in the morning saying P did the original
05:59
She was feeling so in the original,
06:03
it said wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy and
06:08
who wants to feel like P Diddy right now?
06:11
Nobody who wants to wake up in jail brother and who wants
06:17
to wake up like with all these me,
06:19
these baby oil memes,
06:22
So it's just wasted no time seriously.
06:26
So things between Peso Pluma and his ex,
06:30
Hannah Howell are getting messy,
06:32
messy. Hannah shared another tiktok airing out her ex Peso Pluma
06:41
didn't she put him on blast last week and that she was
06:44
between all the GFC got her Cuando,
06:48
I guess she's not done.
06:49
Then she revealed two things in this new video.
06:55
She said Peso brought another girl to her birthday party at Turks
07:00
and Caicos. So I guess I guess they had planned a
07:03
birthday thing for Hannah to take a trip to Turks and Caicos
07:08
for her birthday. So they broke up.
07:10
So it's like I have it booked or whatever.
07:13
I'm going to take another girl with me.
07:15
We're not together. Well,
07:16
I mean, I guess I see both sides.
07:19
Yeah. Why did you bring a girl to my thing?
07:21
We're together. But also could have just ditched the party.
07:27
He could afford to miss a flight,
07:30
I mean, it's a freaking what?
07:35
I don't know, it was out of pettiness.
07:37
I mean, you were broken up.
07:38
So, again, he's not your man,
07:41
why did you bring a girl?
07:42
I mean, if he wants to ever get back with her
07:44
it's kind of ruined that bridge.
07:45
I think, I think that's done,
07:48
it's the second reason that has everyone yapping even myself.
07:53
This, this is who I was concerned about who he took
07:58
Brother, he took the dog.
08:01
And so while dating,
08:05
they purchased a golden retriever and since the split Bezos has kept
08:09
the dog and Hannah wants it back,
08:12
she exposed him saying he never did anything for the dog.
08:18
walk it basically calling him a deadbeat dog.
08:23
I mean, imagine me beso Puma's dog like he's probably flying
08:26
private jets. Right.
08:27
The life is having the best life.
08:30
Exactly. He's chilling backstage,
08:32
running around like, you know,
08:33
all these hotels and even like the Ranchos of Mexico,
08:37
like I, I'm sure he's ok.
08:40
The fields of Mexico girl just,
08:42
just let the dog live his best life.
08:51
You know, I just feel like homegirl.
08:54
It's like video after video.
08:56
She has them all in the chamber just waiting for another,
08:59
like, like it's like just volumes of videos and series also
09:05
I'm not trying to make Miss Hannah Howell more mad but
09:09
rumors about Kenya S and Peso Pluma are starting to go around
09:13
but they have a song together.
09:15
I don't think it's like they were awfully close when they sang
09:18
together recently. I mean,
09:21
that that happened with Anita too.
09:24
That's true. And what they do,
09:25
they fucking made out.
09:28
But you know what brother,
09:30
to be honest, I'm not buying them.
09:31
OK? So we're not on that train because yeah,
09:34
I'm like, I don't know,
09:35
I feel like they're just really,
09:38
and she was literally running away from him at the concert and
09:42
I'm pretty sure she has a boyfriend too.
09:43
Oh, well, there you go.
09:45
Case closed. All right,
09:47
sister, I'm excited about this next guest because this guy is
09:50
an outspoken activist that's currently popping up on tiktok,
09:52
right? He's challenging the way we refer to different ethnicities,
09:58
they call us Mexican American,
09:59
right? There's native Americans,
10:02
African Americans. You know what?
10:03
But let's let him explain,
10:05
Let's welcome Angel De La Rosa.
10:11
Hey, so we saw your recent viral video.
10:14
There were so many confused European Americans wondering why I call them
10:19
European American instead of just American in my other post,
10:23
we have questions. OK.
10:27
So tell us what is a European American,
10:31
a European American? I know too many.
10:33
It might sound like a confusing term at first,
10:35
but in reality, it's pretty straightforward.
10:37
A European American is an American of European descent,
10:41
which is most of the US.
10:43
So it sounds confusing but it's pretty,
10:45
it's a pretty simple term.
10:46
I come home. He was like,
10:47
oh, yeah, like our family is originally from Poland,
10:49
but I've never heard of these refer themselves as European Americans.
10:52
They're just like, oh,
10:52
we're American, we're white.
10:54
I'm like, you're white.
10:55
Yeah. But interesting.
10:56
Ok. So why are you really from?
10:59
Exactly. They always ask us like,
11:01
oh, yeah. So where are you from?
11:02
No, you really never,
11:04
we never asked white people where they're from,
11:06
we just assume. Yeah,
11:09
that's a good turn the tables on them.
11:12
And so like, why do you think white Americans get to
11:14
be the default historically,
11:16
the victors of battles and wars are the ones that dictate the
11:20
most people in positions of power,
11:22
you know, politicians,
11:23
police officers, you know,
11:24
senators, governors, they're white.
11:26
Like I said, they're the ones that set the rules.
11:28
They're the ones that lay out the foundations of education.
11:31
They're the ones that run everything.
11:35
that's why, that's my,
11:36
that's my theory. Well,
11:37
what was your breaking point that like drove you to make this
11:42
it's always been a thing really.
11:44
it's really just common sense calling them European American people would always
11:48
go into my comments say,
11:50
oh, African Americans,
11:51
native Americans, I always thought the term native American is really
11:55
weird because if you really want to get technical about it,
11:57
they're just American. Like if,
11:58
if there's any people that are just American,
12:00
like the default, like you guys say it's indigenous people,
12:04
right? They're just American,
12:08
you know, I'm not Mexican American.
12:09
I'm actually from Mexico.
12:12
but people would always call me Mexican American.
12:16
one thing, one other thing is Mexico isn't America.
12:19
America is a continent.
12:20
That's another thing, you know,
12:21
if you guys really want to get technical,
12:23
you know, America is a continent from the top of Alaska
12:25
down to Argentina, at least that's how they teach it in
12:28
schools here and Mexico and the rest of other Spanish speaking countries
12:31
America is just one continent and people are,
12:33
I always just hear people say,
12:34
oh yeah, African Americans,
12:36
I remember there was a Trump rally where Donald Trump is like
12:38
oh look at my African American over there,
12:40
look at my African American.
12:42
I'm just, it's just weird.
12:44
but they're not from Africa,
12:45
you know, like it's just,
12:46
it's always been weird to me.
12:47
Oh, yeah, he's Asian American.
12:50
he's Japanese American. He's,
12:51
he's,, he's Mexican American.
12:53
And in my mind I'm like,
12:54
well, white people are just American.
12:58
are you guys? I would always hear white people say.
13:03
I'm Polish, I'm Irish.
13:04
I'm German. I'm 1/16 Cherokee and they're all proud about it
13:09
you know, it's like fucking old if you're so proud
13:12
you know, own up to it.
13:13
You know, you're European American,
13:17
And I mean, obviously a lot of people resonated with this
13:19
and had thoughts, I mean,
13:21
1.2 million views and counting what response we received from the comment
13:25
the, the general reaction was white people were confused,
13:30
they were confused at first,
13:31
but then they're like,
13:31
you know what? You have a point actually.
13:33
Yeah, that does make sense.
13:35
And then the consensus from,
13:37
from Mexicans living in Mexico like,
13:39
yeah, bro, we've always caught them Europeans.
13:41
Do you think we'll ever get to a place where we drop
13:43
the hyphens? And we can all just be American.
13:48
Unfortunately, here in Mexico,
13:49
everyone's just Mexican. You know,
13:51
there's black Mexicans, there's Asian Mexicans,
13:53
there's white Mexicans, there's indigenous,
13:55
but everyone's just Mexican,
13:57
you know, I just think the USA is hyper fixated
13:59
on race unfortunately. And,
14:02
it always has been Mexico has has its own problems for
14:06
sure. But USA is just,
14:09
is just fixated on race.
14:11
It is just fixated on race.
14:13
It's just crazy to me.
14:15
So, no, I don't think any time soon.
14:16
What's your mission in calling out this double standard?
14:19
Just to bring awareness.
14:20
Like I said, people,
14:21
man, one thing that I've noticed from since I started making
14:24
videos is that people live in the bubble.
14:26
It is crazy. People live in such a bubble.
14:29
They don't know what's going on in their own backyard,
14:32
you know. Like I have people commenting things about Mexico
14:35
They've never even left Kansas.
14:37
Oh I would never go to Mexico.
14:39
It's too dangerous. The cartels,
14:41
the news, Wichita Kansas.
14:44
Like bro chill like no one's worried about you.
14:46
You know, there's just so much people live in bubbles.
14:50
There's people that are so sheltered and so afraid of the world
14:54
they're just so afraid because once you travel,
14:57
you know, once you see other things,
14:58
you know, once you travel the world,
15:00
you realize how sheltered people are.
15:02
It's crazy. You know,
15:03
it's just insane to me.
15:04
How can you judge a place that you've never been to?
15:07
It's the same thing with whole European Americans.
15:08
People have never heard that term before.
15:10
They're not used to being labeled like they label everybody else.
15:13
They're just like they break down completely and we really thank you
15:17
for coming on today.
15:18
Angel. Where can people follow you and,
15:20
and you know, keep up on your videos.
15:21
My tiktok is mini Poppy X and so is my Instagram.
15:25
My Instagram is mini Poppy X all one word,
15:28
all lower case. All right,
15:29
cool mini Poppy Xak Angel.
15:32
Thank you so much again and we'll see you soon.
15:41
Welcome back to La Bota.
15:43
Ok. It's always a battle trying to figure out what I
15:47
Ds or documents you need to register to vote depending on where
15:53
Every state is different and it feels like they'd be changing it
15:56
every election seriously. So we wanted to break it down in
16:00
our game. Crane of fate to figure out we need to
16:06
register to vote. We have our staffers representing different states.
16:09
We have Daniela as California.
16:14
We have Gene as New York,
16:17
obviously, Joel as New Hampshire.
16:22
Oh, I didn't know you're talking apparently.
16:29
And Liam as Arizona.
16:36
Nice. Well, our staffers will actually snag a mystery card
16:41
from the crane of fate and see if their state will allow
16:45
them to register with it.
16:49
Is there a prize for voting?
16:50
Yes, jean, your big back.
16:52
Gets some ice cream.
16:55
Go chill sister. Love it.
16:57
And our judge will be none other than John Miso president of
17:00
the NDRC who will let us know if your M ID will
17:03
in fact work this is how America votes.
17:06
you know, our constitution puts in place the responsibility and
17:10
authority to administrate the elections with the states.
17:14
Why does each state have different laws about what ID you need
17:16
to register to vote?
17:17
Unfortunately, sometimes politicians take their own views and allow those views
17:22
to shape the way that those laws get created.
17:24
But regardless each state has the ability to impact the way that
17:28
their elections get run.
17:29
Ok, Daniella, you're up first.
17:34
Here we go. In the name of democracy.
17:36
In the name of Gen Z in the name of the future
17:47
Jenny, I got social security number.
17:49
Oh, she has a social security number.
17:51
John. Does that work?
17:52
Yes, that satisfies the current state license or state ID card
17:56
requirement to complete your registration.
18:03
Is there anything else we need to know about the election and
18:07
being prepared to vote?
18:08
Remember that elections are decided by who shows up?
18:12
And it's so critical that you make sure your registration is current
18:16
You make sure that you're ready to and go to vote
18:19
and have a plan for how you're going to get to the
18:21
polling location or vote early.
18:23
I will vote.com will give you the information that you need to
18:26
make sure that you understand,
18:27
you're going to the right polling location and you're up to date
18:29
and registered to vote.
18:32
J your turn G your big back.
18:45
I hope it's not an eviction notice.
18:47
Oh, ok. I got a paycheck.
18:50
Is that good new paycheck?
18:52
Does that work? Yes.
18:54
But it's very complicated and there's a number of other things that
18:59
I'm so proud of you.
19:02
We keep hearing about getting kicked off the voting rolls.
19:05
What does that mean?
19:06
And what can we do if we find out we're no longer
19:09
registered? My guidance to you would be,
19:12
go to, I will vote.com.
19:13
There's a big list of people that they have registered to vote
19:17
and from time to time states at different intervals will take out
19:20
individual names. Joel,
19:28
that's quite difficult. Colombo.
19:32
So, by L and the problem is,
19:42
everyone does it. I got a birth certificate.
19:44
He has his birth certificate.
19:46
John does that work?
19:47
Yes. But you will also need to show proof of where
19:50
you live. What will work then paycheck a utility bill.
19:56
Another proof of domicile.
19:58
Ah, but you know what I do like Liam.
20:01
