00:06
What is up? Welcome back to Me Too Daily.
00:08
I'm Jenny and I'm Alejandro and it is Wednesday,
00:11
baby. It is Wednesday,
00:13
my dude. I remember that video?
00:17
OK. I thought you were gonna do the Mexican.
00:23
Yeah But anyways, it's Wednesday.
00:27
We're it's home. We're halfway through the week.
00:29
I'm ready. I'm ready.
00:30
OK, so let's get it.
00:30
Did you watch the Grammys?
00:42
you look like you have thoughts.
00:42
You know what I'm asking.
00:42
Yeah, I know you hear those Trevor Noah jokes.
00:46
They they keep replaying in my head actually.
00:48
The Grammys are great.
00:49
The Grammys are great,
00:50
but that joke just like just.
00:53
Oh it ruined it for me.
00:55
let's watch it. If this is your first time,
00:57
let me tell you what this is,
00:59
right? We're gonna be honoring the best in music as voted
01:02
on by the 13,000 members of the recording academy and 20 million
01:06
illegal immigrants. Three-time Grammy winner Shakira is in the house,
01:10
everybody. The greatest thing out of Colombia that isn't a Class
01:13
A felony. We got who else we got?
01:15
We got Lady Gaga in the house.
01:19
read the room like Latinos are being deported left and right,
01:23
and I don't think that comment like sat well with anyone if
01:27
you really see how like the people are like cheering at first
01:29
and then he said it and then they're like,
01:31
yeah, no one laughed.
01:32
I just think it's funny you said it was a comment because
01:34
it really was a comment.
01:38
It's one of those things that it's really just like it's overused
01:40
it's overdone and it's really.
01:42
unoriginal. It's easy to poke fun at the situation here when
01:46
you're not from here,
01:47
regardless. The matter of fact is whether you laughed at it
01:49
defend it, or said it,
01:51
it was lame. It was lame.
01:54
I never thought he was funny.
01:57
No, OK, he's trying too hard and you know what
01:59
My best friend read his book and I'm like,
02:02
bitch, I'm so sorry.
02:03
Like, what a waste of time.
02:06
I don't know. I never thought it was funny.
02:09
Like, that's my hot take.
02:12
I never thought nothing.
02:14
Anyways, JLo actually handed Shakira her Grammy.
02:20
Did you see the grip on that?
02:23
Handoff girl like Jayla was like,
02:25
she's like cause, cause,
02:29
I don't think she's ever won a Grammy before.
02:32
she's just been nominated only on the Selena movie,
02:35
but she does deserve a Grammy.
02:37
she's been in the game for so long.
02:40
that's something, you know.
02:42
Amiga, did you see the red carpet job?
02:44
I know you did because it's been all over.
02:47
The Associated Press red carpet host cut off Babyface for an interview
02:53
with Chapel Rowan. Chapel.
02:55
You guys want to do that?
02:58
Go do that. I'm sorry.
03:01
I don't think Leslie Ambres deserves hate because I feel like she
03:05
was doing her job and the Crystal girl that was next
03:09
to her, she was not disrespectful.
03:12
Porque, she was the one that cut him off and On
03:17
top of Christa and her grave mistake as a journalist and as
03:21
a reporter, the producer who I'm,
03:24
I'm assuming he's a producer,
03:30
you see, and you see him with the headset.
03:33
I think I saw one and that's when the moment goes down
03:37
So poor Leslie is in the middle of it.
03:43
I love. I respect Babyface.
03:46
If it must have been done,
03:48
I think I would have cut the interview short.
03:50
OK, because the the producer was like this.
03:54
If my boss was in my ear telling me you need to
03:59
get Chapel Row and it's because their boss is in their ear
04:02
And that would happen.
04:03
If that's what it takes to keep my job,
04:06
I think I I I would have done something similar.
04:09
I think it just could have been done differently.
04:11
Well, thank you so much,
04:12
Grammys for the most.
04:14
Moments you did not disappoint.
04:16
Only Trevor Noah, you disappointed.
04:19
So, can you please explain all this basketball drama happening right
04:23
now because like it's just unfolding on my timeline and then Rob
04:27
was so excited about it,
04:30
like about all these trades and stuff like,
04:34
wait, what you like the trade,
04:36
like, so the Lakers,
04:37
in case you haven't heard,
04:38
got Luca Don Don Don Don.
04:44
OK. Can we get it like a clip of him just
04:46
saying don't you don't you?
04:49
The Lakers just got Luca Dacic from the Dallas Mavericks.
04:54
So it's like internet was going crazy.
04:58
why are men, like why are grown men losing their shit
05:03
over this? That's the thing like who is this person?
05:06
Like, or, or break this down for me because I
05:08
have no idea. Let me put this for you in terms
05:13
Aventura kicks out Romeo Santos.
05:16
Like they don't even split up.
05:17
Imagine., and their prime was the Don Francisco sabo
05:21
gigante. They're like,
05:23
we're good. We're gonna trade you away.
05:25
You're gonna, you're not with the show anymore.
05:26
We have a chacala cuatro.
05:27
We're good. Exactly.
05:32
Los bookies without Marcaton Solis.
05:34
I get in the picture?
05:35
Oh, why would they do that?
05:37
Yes, I'm getting the picture.
05:39
So, so this is the face.
05:41
So he is the face of his old team.
05:45
He's really good. Why would they give him up like that
05:52
I just wanna watch the world burn sometimes in this case Dallas
05:57
I don't know, it's just crazy because imagine it's like a
05:59
family that's owning like their favorite child,
06:01
right? It makes no sense.
06:04
However, on the bright side.
06:06
Lakers fans, we're good dude,
06:09
they broke up like we're chilling.
06:13
I feel bad because it was open arms.
06:17
we're we're excited for him to come.
06:18
Most definitely, but wait,
06:22
Because his last name's a little funky.
06:25
He looks like is he?
06:27
Oh, he kind of looks like my brother.
06:30
We gotta get him LA ready.
06:35
Well, bienvenidos Luca like,
06:36
like we gotta, we gotta.
06:38
Well, he's got to try the good taco spots here in
06:41
LA since he's coming.
06:44
Well, when is he playing?
06:46
no. So that's the thing.
06:49
So he just got here,
06:50
right? But he's also dealing with a calf injury,
06:51
so he's like being benched for a little bit.
06:53
He's just recovering, resting.
06:55
I don't know. I don't like this.
06:59
like there's a lot of time we're hired a 90 day period
07:06
like you can't take any PT but chill,
07:08
bro. Like again when he's when he's on,
07:10
he's on. So recover.
07:14
Luca, no matter what Janny says,
07:15
welcome to LA. If you don't want to talk to us
07:19
We'll make a spot for you right here.
07:20
Yeah, welcome to LA.
07:22
I take back my words.
07:24
Thousands of people in LA took to the streets on Sunday to
07:27
protest President Donald Trump's plan for mass deportations.
07:29
They stood on business and on the 101 to be exact.
07:34
They did. Then the next day,
07:36
a Day Without Immigrants protests went down and we sent our girl
07:38
Daniela out to investigate.
07:40
It's Monday, February 3rd,
07:42
and it is a day without immigrants.
07:49
questa we're processing because my mom's an immigrant,
07:50
you know, we're upset.
07:52
These people deserve your help.
07:54
You people need to come out here and you need to be
07:56
able to support people like this in illegals for the people that
08:05
we're the fucking voice.
08:06
We're the next generation.
08:15
All right, you are a friend of the show,
08:17
and here we run into you.
08:18
Why are you out here today?
08:19
I'm out here for Mexicanos.
08:22
We got to be outside.
08:23
We got to show them who's really boss and who's really in
08:25
charge. This is how we talk to Donald Trump.
08:36
You guys are the engine to the oil of this entire economy
08:41
Everyone's important here,
08:42
no one's illegal on stolen land,
08:44
point blank period. OK?
08:46
Thank you very much.
08:47
I'm so happy to see Migente showing up.
08:50
Like that was just beautiful.
08:52
And honestly, like I love how chocolate Uno was there.
08:57
You remember? He's an ally for sure through and through again
09:00
like we had him here in the studio shows the dance moves
09:02
and then Daniella went out there and literally just bumped into him
09:04
like yeah and he's all dancing and everyone's all hyped.
09:07
Yeah, it's so cool to see the community,
09:09
you know, show up and like protest together peacefully because then
09:13
into the night, people start to pull up doing donuts heuro
09:17
de madre, and so then the police had to get involved
09:20
you know, with the riot gear and arrests were made
09:22
and It just sucks because people that wanna do this peacefully and
09:26
again just spread awareness like it kind of undoes it because like
09:30
then I know the right and the Trump is gonna be like
09:33
see that's why like you can't protest like there's always something
09:35
and say no like it was fine like Sunday and even Monday
09:40
I don't know what some people are thinking,
09:43
and they're just like,
09:44
let me go in there and fuck it,
09:49
and even a car got into a car accident doing donuts,
09:52
and then again it puts everyone at risk and then now they
09:54
probably, you know what you can't protest here,
09:56
here, here because It's not safe for people that want to
10:01
protest might not feel as comfortable now because again the safety of
10:04
others is like. That one guy's in the community.
10:07
I don't know. Today we have Vicky the fit chick back
10:20
thank you for having me.
10:21
Thank you for coming.
10:22
We missed you so much.
10:23
I miss you guys every day,
10:26
I know you've been really busy.
10:28
catch us up on like what's new,
10:31
your mental health been?
10:33
Honestly, from the fires to the new presidency,
10:38
to the backlash that I've been receiving on social media.
10:41
Honestly, it's, it's been a lot.
10:45
I had a video that went viral and it just ended up
10:47
on the wrong side of the algorithm.
10:50
If you voted for Trump,
10:52
you are not allowed in Mexico.
10:54
You are not allowed in Cabos,
10:55
Cancun, Puerto Vallarta,
10:57
Aguascalientes, none of that.
10:59
That's all in Mexico.
11:00
You know, the wrong side of the internet,
11:02
took that to offense and A news anchor put it up on
11:06
the internet, and he was being racist,
11:08
and he was eating tacos,
11:10
and he was saying that he was gonna call eye on me
11:13
No tacos, no enchiladas,
11:14
none of that for you.
11:16
Oh yeah? What are you gonna do?
11:20
Will you come take it out of my ham?
11:21
I'm gonna eat half this plate during the break.
11:23
Maybe I'll call the ice hotline.
11:24
I don't know if I'll have enough time.
11:26
I did see that video and you know what,
11:28
those weak ass tacos.
11:29
They really were. They were a little dry,
11:31
but they were a lot of dry honestly.
11:34
Come to LA we'll get you some better tacos.
11:37
Maybe he's just never had good tacos.
11:39
Maybe those were the the tacos his wife made.
11:48
I'm sorry you've been going through that.
11:50
What's the scariest part about ending up on the wrong side of
11:53
the internet? Honestly,
11:55
everything that was said to me,
11:57
just the threats, the the comments,
12:00
the messages, the emails.
12:02
I even got really bad.
12:04
They took the time to get my email and My manager said
12:08
hey, you don't even wanna see this.
12:09
We're just gonna, we're just gonna put it to the side
12:12
for you. So I did have to turn off my Instagram
12:15
DMs and all of that,
12:16
and I was just honestly at the end of the day.
12:18
Just to protect my mental health,
12:20
I again, like I know what I said wasn't wrong.
12:23
they just didn't agree with it and that's fine.
12:25
Everybody has an opinion,
12:27
but at the end of the day it's my platform and I'm
12:30
gonna turn off the messages if I need to.
12:32
So Vicky, you're obviously a content creator,
12:36
influencer. You've made a choice to be outspoken.
12:41
Why? Why have you chosen to speak out?
12:43
I've always been like this.
12:45
I've always been a very,
12:46
very loud. Person and a very vocal and passionate person,
12:50
especially since the first election back in 2016 my platform
12:53
wasn't as big, but it just felt right it's the right
12:56
thing to do. I'm first gen Latina.
12:58
My parents are immigrants.
12:59
It took my mom 17 years to get her residency,
13:03
and I don't think people understand how scary that is.
13:08
You can come home one day and your parents could be gone
13:10
because they were deported back and I had to live with that
13:16
My mom didn't make it,
13:18
you know, she didn't make us feel bad about it,
13:20
but like we always knew in the back of our head that
13:22
that was a possibility.
13:23
So even though this doesn't affect me currently.
13:26
I still feel with my people about,
13:29
you know, their parents could be gone in a split second
13:31
and that's just, that's not something that I ever want somebody
13:33
to go through. So if I can use my platform and
13:36
share resources, I am.
13:38
And I love that about you,
13:39
honestly. Like the truth like I love that you're like simplepelos
13:43
and a lingua. You say what you say how it is
13:45
and you have a tough skin,
13:47
but I also like social media is rough like that gets in
13:51
your head and it does yeah it does.
13:54
I am glad that I do have tough skin and
13:56
that I can take the hate and all of that.
13:58
I grew up with a Mexican mother,
14:01
But you know it does,
14:03
it does get to be a lot sometimes,
14:07
and do you believe every creator rapping their culture and flag in
14:11
their bios on social media should speak up,
14:13
should say something about what's going on?
14:15
100%. I think that if you're gonna benefit from the Latino
14:19
community if you're gonna have.
14:21
The Sal Iranian flag in your bio,
14:23
the Colombian flag, Venezuela,
14:25
Mexico, whatever it is,
14:26
and if you're benefiting off the Latino community,
14:29
I feel like it is your job in a sense to say
14:33
something, share resource.
14:34
You don't have to be as vocal as I am,
14:35
trust me, nobody should be as vocal as I am.
14:38
It's a lot and it comes with a lot,
14:40
but if you do benefit off the Latino community,
14:42
whether it be a check,
14:43
whether it be a Latino,
14:45
following or a great community.
14:47
I do think that you should use your platform to share some
14:51
resources. Absolutely. I think it's been a huge debate online
14:56
I know we keep saying artists and influencers that are public
15:00
like this cancel culture and all of that,
15:03
but also in regards to cancel culture,
15:08
If they're not representing the community like how they should be representing
15:12
the community, they shouldn't follow them.
15:14
Stop giving them views,
15:15
stop giving them money,
15:16
stop stop burning up the page.
15:18
Yeah, and I applaud you for that because obviously,
15:20
as an influencer and as a creator,
15:22
brands are constantly looking at your page and Are you ever scared
15:27
that your outspokenness might affect your work?
15:30
I've always been like this,
15:32
and the brands that I currently work with know how passionate I
15:35
am about certain subjects.
15:37
I would never once put their businesses in danger or
15:40
anything like that, so I don't think what I'm saying currently
15:42
is wrong. I think I'm just showing people that I'm passionate
15:46
about immigration because I am.
15:49
Latina and I should be using my voice and I feel like
15:51
more brands honestly should recognize people like that because if we're not
15:56
vocal or passionate about something,
15:58
then what are we doing?
16:00
What is the platform for to show our little vlogs every single
16:04
day like yeah, that's all cool and all,
16:06
but at the end of the day like we all should stand
16:08
for something. Also,
16:09
what is something you would say to the people sending hate to
16:12
via DMs? Don't waste your time.
16:16
The block buttons are for a reason there,
16:18
babe. The black button is there for a reason.
16:21
There we go. Well said,
16:23
Vicky, where can people follow you?
16:25
Vicky does a check on all platforms,
16:27
Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
16:30
We would just, again,
16:31
like to thank you for using your voice and for being a
16:34
perfect role model of,
16:35
you know, what you know our community needs.
16:38
Thank you guys for having me.
16:39
Thank you guys for allowing me to express myself and use my
16:43
voice. I very much appreciate you guys.
16:45
Come back soon please.
