00:06
We like Yeah, welcome back to Me Too Daily Live.
00:12
I'm Alejandro and I'm Daniela,
00:14
and we got a she's in the corner in the house as
00:15
well. What's up guys?
00:17
Gene checking in. Joel,
00:19
yeah, that's what's up y'all.
00:21
And today we have a couple of stories to cover.
00:23
We have why Sleeping naked is healthy for you.
00:26
Also, Taco Bell weddings are officially happening and we need to
00:31
discuss this. Let's go and Puerto Rican sky Restaurant goes final
00:35
destination., let's jump right into it.
00:40
Let's do it. We've got,
00:41
we've got things to talk about.
00:43
Alright. Well, so there is this little headline that came
00:50
out and apparently sleeping in your birthday suit is actually healthy for
00:55
you, OK. Apparently,
00:58
so this study shows that sleeping naked helps the body cool up
01:01
naturally. It promotes better deep sleep stages,
01:04
right? And even helps burning calories,
01:06
I guess like there's this hormone that helps burn fat and the
01:10
melatonin, yeah, the nature's Ozempic or the body's o.
01:15
I don't know. You know something's slow right now,
01:17
so that it's a good alternative.
01:21
skin care benefits, better air flow down there,
01:25
moisture retention, natural collagen.
01:27
Also it it promotes vaginal health for,
01:32
for the ladies. And for fellas,
01:35
it helps maintain optimal testicular temperature and improves sperm production.
01:40
So the swimmers, they're gonna be swimming.
01:43
I guess my swimmers is swimming because I sleep naked.
01:48
I'm a, I'm a birthday suit guy,
01:50
brother. Yeah, just,
01:52
just if you, if you're a robber,
01:53
just don't rob me because I'm gonna be that no,
01:57
I, I partake in this and I believe in it.
02:00
I wonder if the studies are the same if you're just wearing
02:03
underwear like boxers, right?
02:06
Like. You know that thin layer of fabric is the difference
02:10
between the thin layer of boxer and the thin layer of a
02:13
sheet. As a person that sleeps naked,
02:15
there is a difference.
02:16
Also, I just hope people who are sleeping naked are washing
02:20
their sheets with frequency because this can be healthy for you,
02:24
but I know cocinos out there who like.
02:28
Once every two weeks like and that's even with clothes because I
02:32
know people I'm like,
02:32
yo, hey, we should watch that shit,
02:35
you know, like I'll wash it,
02:37
or even like let's be real guys,
02:39
that vinegary like ball sweat like on your feet if you don't
02:43
shower before bed. So no,
02:46
I jump in the shower,
02:47
you know, and sometimes you need the little breeze to get
02:49
into some places, but if,
02:51
if she, if she not tabanando,
02:52
bro, like that's the mustiness is gonna.
02:56
That's exactly because this is,
02:57
is another thing is it's saying that it can help strengthen emotional
03:01
and physical bonds boosting intimacy,
03:04
but again. I don't know how my wife's gonna feel like
03:07
yo, you fucking smell like booty,
03:09
like swamp ass. Like I'm not gonna get near you even
03:12
if you have your morning wood.
03:13
You're, you're pitching a tent.
03:15
It's like we gotta go.
03:16
There's no tent to pitch.
03:19
Just she's just back to back,
03:20
bro, like we're not,
03:21
oh my gosh. But yeah,
03:23
so I mean you said about getting robbed,
03:26
right? So you're like,
03:28
I mean growing up they would tell me not to like,
03:30
oh what if there's an emergency?
03:32
I'm like it is what it is.
03:34
Mahia I'm I'll grab the covers,
03:37
yeah, I just run out with the covers and be like
03:39
yo, like this is how I sleep.
03:41
Like what am I gonna imagine there's a robber he just like
03:44
he undo the covers bro it oh they're gonna be surprised how
03:49
you get. everything you got.
03:50
I'm gonna just be like,
03:51
at least let me get,
03:52
let me get some pants.
03:53
You could take anything you want,
03:54
bro, but let me get some pants on.
03:56
After that, I don't care.
03:57
How about you as a girl?
03:59
I mean, it's a different mindset over there.
04:01
OK, I go to sleep with clothes on,
04:03
but I feel like as a woman I wake up naked.
04:06
I know the girls can relate to this,
04:08
at least the top half.
04:09
So it just kind of happens naturally for me,
04:12
and it does scare me,
04:15
If there's a fire or an earthquake and I just have to
04:20
I guess I'll figure it out when the time comes.
04:22
I'm so into skincare benefits and the Ozempic benefits like I'm all
04:28
down for that if it means not having to do more laundry
04:32
and you know buy more pajamas and just,
04:36
well actually I I'd be washing my sheets a little extra,
04:39
but I'm I'm for this and I.
04:42
I don't need to worry about someone else in my room.
04:44
It's just me, so you haven't tried it,
04:47
take a shower. Dry yourself off and just jump into bed
04:51
I mean, I guess people would be nicer,
04:54
you know, especially during morning commutes if like they wake up
04:58
and they got a little something,
05:00
you know, in their step,
05:02
so. I'm here for it.
05:03
Definitely good for baby making,
05:05
but speaking about baby making,
05:08
we've got weddings to discuss because Taco Bell wants you to have
05:13
your wedding there. Joel,
05:15
take it away. All right guys,
05:16
who needs wedding bells when you got the Taco Bell.
05:22
We're working on a soundboard.
05:24
Yeah. just coming in.
05:28
So Taco Bell has lunch launched lunch.
05:31
Taco lunch lunch. Taco Bell has launched a,
05:35
you know, a themed wedding in Vegas for $777.
05:40
Couples can get married at the Taco Bell Cantina in the Vegas
05:43
Strip with an Elvis impersonator,
05:45
you know, showgirls.
05:47
And a Taco Bell feast.
05:49
So like the whole package,
05:51
like what more do you want?
05:52
What more do you need?
05:53
You need a slot machine in there yeah,
05:55
seriously. What's the package?
05:57
So the package includes a hot sauce packet bouquet,
06:01
romantic 12 a taco 12 pack,
06:06
a Cinnabon delight cake,
06:08
fire, and of course champagne flutes and some t-shirts.
06:14
you got food, you got your cake,
06:16
you got entertainment, everything,
06:18
everything. So the event lasts around 30 minutes and you could
06:22
have around 25 guests,
06:24
invite up to 25 guests.
06:26
So I mean, for $777 honestly,
06:30
I think that save your pennies for your house,
06:34
for a vacation, your honeymoon,
06:36
like you can just have everything here in Taco Bell.
06:48
I would be happy with I think.
06:48
I think my wife would probably hate me.
06:50
but if we're tying the knot and you're like,
06:52
babe, babe, we're not,
06:54
we're not doing all that well then we're not getting.
06:57
Married. We are respectfully,
07:00
Taco Bell wedding, I love to be at,
07:05
I it's more of an afterparty situation,
07:07
you know. So it's gonna be one of the weddings.
07:10
Yeah, yes, I want multiple,
07:12
but. The same guy though,
07:15
you know, just like,
07:16
but yeah, it's just for fun,
07:22
it's cost effective and it seems fun.
07:29
what's the bouquet. The bouquets hot sauce packets.
07:32
So that's really unique and the flower girl,
07:35
no flowers, you know,
07:36
beans, bro, the cheddar cheese or the lettuce,
07:43
That's really cute. I feel like Taco Bell is when you're
07:46
in Vegas, you want to be camped,
07:50
Let me give you layers,
07:52
beefy, cheesy layers.
07:54
bro. You keep question question,
07:56
are they still open while you're having the wedding?
07:59
Come on, of course they are.
08:00
That's upstairs. Oh,
08:01
OK. That's what I'm saying.
08:03
So there's security and there's gonna be wedding crashers,
08:05
obviously. Yeah, I mean that's,
08:08
that's your other. I wanna go and crash one.
08:12
I know I would love to do that.
08:14
I'm there I'm literally gonna go to to the spot and just
08:17
camp and see if somebody gets married,
08:21
I would definitely be down.
08:23
I mean, I'm already married,
08:24
but I'll be down to do it again.
08:27
that's like a dinner at like the Ramsey Steakhouse,
08:29
whatever. It's like,
08:30
yo homies, it's all pitching a couple 100.
08:32
Let's go through his wedding and it's survive and it's a vibe
08:38
Not only that, you up to 25 guys you split that
08:41
with 25 homies. See how much is that?
08:43
Everyone gets married. In a normal wedding,
08:46
how many people can say that they had a Taco Bell.
08:50
That's me. And speaking of experiences,
08:53
you had a story about something that went crazy.
08:55
Oh man, so everybody,
08:57
everybody here is seeing Final Destination,
08:59
right? Well, the Puerto Rican version came out this past
09:03
weekend. What dead ass,
09:06
so,, there's a restaurant that's,
09:11
Puerto Rico. And apparently you have dinner suspended in the air
09:14
so a crane raises you up about 100 ft and you
09:18
have dinner up there.
09:20
Well, there's a video that dropped and literally,
09:24
literally dropped, and you see something snaps and the song that's
09:28
playing during the while she's going up is hilarious because it's pump
09:33
yeah, the crane is pumping up all right,
09:36
you see everything goes sideways and yeah it's one of my biggest
09:40
it's one of my biggest fears,
09:42
man,, but no one was hurt,
09:45
right? No, nobody was hurt,
09:46
thank God, but it's like why would you wanna.
09:49
Eat dinner 150 ft up suspended in the air.
09:53
Yeah, your shit's all clenched like bro I already know if
09:56
I did that, people would hate me because 5 minutes being
09:59
up there I'd be like I gotta pee.
10:02
I gotta, I gotta leave.
10:07
And yeah man, I don't know thank God nobody got hurt
10:10
but it's like and plus I saw the video of like
10:13
the surrounding area of it.
10:14
All I see is a parking lot,
10:15
so it's like not even that you don't get the views like
10:18
that. That's all I'm like like is this down just hang
10:20
me from a crane from from a Mickey Mouse crane,
10:25
Yeah, just unlock a new I would,
10:29
I would, I would have needed a change of pants on
10:32
the way down. I'm like,
10:34
I feel like that would be something that my mom would be
10:36
like, what do you mean?
10:39
Like it's like, come on,
10:41
like why are you going to go up?
10:42
It's an experience, boo boo boo,
10:43
but Like that thing is not OSHA like approved.
10:47
I'm sure that crane,
10:49
like you said, it's been through,
10:54
I'm sorry. They give you a little like lunch pack and
10:57
like, oh take it up with you and then like we're
10:58
gonna unpack it like,
10:59
oh my God, that's all I could imagine.
11:01
There's no chef up there.
11:02
There's a bartender at least,
11:03
but that's my big back was saying about the I mean if
11:05
it was like Bennyhana to go,
11:08
oh, like the birds don't eat in the sky,
11:10
why would I? You never seen a bird eating in the
11:13
sky, right, while he's flying?
11:16
they chill, they land,
11:21
Unless I'm flying or at a rooftop bar,
11:23
I'm really good. I will kindly thank you though.
11:27
Well, luckily no one got hurt,
11:28
but that's crazy. That's why.
11:32
And speaking of crazy,
11:34
Trump is back in the news,
11:35
so he is going to be offering a gold card
11:39
immigrants, he said.
11:40
He said, we're going to,
11:42
oh, can I do this impersonation or not?
11:45
We're going to be putting a price on the card of about
11:46
$5 million and it's gonna give you green card privileges.
11:50
So essentially like he wants to give folks the right to live
11:52
and work in the US and offering a path to citizenship,
11:56
but again, you gotta pay $5 million.
11:58
Trump also says the program is.
12:01
It be called the gold card,
12:03
and it would launch in 2 weeks.
12:05
He also believes his administration needed didn't need approval from Congress,
12:10
but immigration experts are saying that lawmakers would absolutely need to approve
12:18
so it all sounds like just Trump being Trump,
12:19
like, yo, I'm gonna say whatever,
12:21
tweet whatever, and then my followers,
12:24
yeah, and. That's a win.
12:27
I don't know. You know like I pre-sold 100 of them
12:29
already, you already know,
12:30
like crazy crazy numbers.
12:32
The sign up or I already got 1.
12:33
It's huge. I mean this just leaves a really bad taste
12:40
in my mouth because the United States is becoming a members only
12:48
citizenship has just become this.
12:51
The dollar sign is just hey,
12:53
I mean that's what it is,
12:55
$5 million. And the vetting process is not that intense.
13:00
It's just like yeah yeah you got the cash roll the carpet
13:04
for you. I'm sure they're not gonna ask where they got
13:06
that cash from who they are,
13:09
you know, because they're so concerned about criminals right now.
13:12
He signs up 200 people that's.
13:15
A billion right? Doctor El I'm glad he's trying to make
13:21
money since the country's in so much debt.
13:24
It's getting desperate. It's cheap poor.
13:28
Well, I'm not gonna say it,
13:32
you know, court appearances for situations.
13:35
What? Well, didn't he like hook up with a porn
13:39
star or something or yeah yeah yeah,
13:42
he's selling us out like one now.
13:43
Yeah, yeah, we're for sale.
13:47
We're for sale, literally we're for sale.
13:49
Yeah, we're for sale.
13:50
5 million get you in the door.
13:53
like the lawyer, like immigration lawyers say like nah,
13:55
this isn't gonna happen.
13:56
Like he actually needs to get this.
13:59
Approved and, you know,
14:01
so I don't think it's gonna happen,
14:05
yeah, he put his face on the card?
14:09
Of course 100% he puts his face on the yeah yeah yeah
14:17
There's a gold version 5.
14:18
Yeah, just get an Amex.
14:23
Is that all news for today,
14:24
folks? And that's what we have.
14:27
All right, that's in store for today's live.
14:30
So thank you guys for joining.
14:32
Oh, And tune in every Monday,
14:37
Wednesday, and Friday.
14:38
We go live around 11,
14:39
so you know, join us around then.
14:42
And to head out we have a recent interview we did with
14:46
Los Angeles politician Senator Sasha Rene Perez,
14:50
so enjoy. Today we are joined by Senator Sasha Rene Perez
14:59
who represents California's 25th Senate district.
15:03
Welcome to Me through Daily.
15:04
Thank you. Thank you for having me on.
15:08
Very honored. Thank you so much for joining us today.
15:11
It really is a privilege to have you speak with us in
15:13
our audience. I'm happy to be here and you know,
15:16
answer questions, talk about the issues.
15:19
So it's it's an important time right now.
15:22
Before we get started,
15:23
I have to say I admire you because you're California's youngest state
15:27
senator. And you're breaking barriers not only as a leader but
15:32
also as a Latina in a field which is traditionally dominated by
15:37
older white cisgender straight men what challenges have you faced being a
15:43
young Latina in politics?
15:45
Yeah,, I think the the number one challenge that
15:48
comes up is a lot of folks don't think initially that I
15:52
am the elected official,
15:53
so,, both when I was mayor and also now
15:57
as a. Senator oftentimes they'll show up places and people go
16:00
it's so great you're here.
16:01
Where's the senator? and they'll look behind me.
16:04
So I take it very seriously that someone like myself is in
16:08
this space and that I have to lead a certain way and
16:10
that I have a whole group of people to represent that haven't
16:13
been represented in these spaces before.
16:16
Well, thank you for doing that.
16:17
I know to me and in my specific community it does mean
16:20
a lot to see ourselves represented in these spaces,
16:23
so I appreciate that.
16:24
I want to bounce back to the reason we're here.
16:27
this conversation, you represent areas directly impacted by the Eaton Fire
16:32
It's almost been two months since the start of the Eaton
16:36
fire. What stage of recovery are we in?
16:39
What, what's still needed for those affected?
16:41
Yeah, so we're still really very much in the early stages
16:45
We've began that initial cleanup process.
16:48
So just a couple of weeks ago,
16:49
the US Army Corps of Engineers actually cleaned the first lot.
16:54
And so what's known as an ROE.
16:56
Form or right of entry form,
16:57
those forms are available right now.
16:59
So for anybody that lost their home in the fire,
17:02
they can go ahead and complete that form and the US Army
17:05
Corps of Engineers will come and clean off that lot,
17:09
We want to get rid of that toxic debris.
17:11
And so that's the focus right now is doing that clean up
17:14
That's the part that we need to get through before we
17:16
get through the rebuilding process.
17:19
In addition to that,
17:20
you know, I know many constituents have concerns about air quality
17:23
about water quality.
17:25
I have that question because my parents are going back to the
17:28
house with a little too much frequency in my mind where I'm
17:31
like, is it safe for them to be there right now
17:36
you know, a resource we can check for air quality or
17:40
what are the proper ways to go about being in the affected
17:43
areas? Yeah, so for those that are looking for information
17:47
a good place to go is that Los Angeles County's Department
17:51
their website, they'll have updates there.
17:54
As well as AQMD AQMD is the one that's doing the
17:57
air quality studies. So they recently did an assessment of the
18:03
and found that things actually look really good.
18:05
And so that's a great sign that we're on the right track
18:09
and Department of Public Health is gonna continue to
18:13
if you're revisiting,,
18:16
you know, your home,
18:17
especially if there is a lot of ash and debris,
18:19
we're reminding folks you wanna be sure you're wearing an N95 mask
18:23
You want to make sure that you're wearing gloves.
18:26
there are these kind of white suits that you'll see
18:29
folks wearing where they're all zipped up,
18:31
the hazmat suits, protecting your skin,
18:33
protecting your lungs, it's really,
18:35
really critical. So going back to Altadena and the community that
18:39
we love so much and that we're coming together for right now
18:42
there's a large population of brown and black families and and
18:45
residents, including many immigrants.
18:49
After a disaster like this,
18:51
what challenges do they face right now?
18:53
So one of the major challenges that our immigrant community is facing
18:57
in Pasadena and Altadina is for those that are undocumented,
19:02
they do not have access to the same federal resources.
19:05
So things like FEMA,
19:07
things like SBA grants that you hear a lot of folks talking
19:10
about right now, they're not eligible for any of that,
19:15
making sure we're getting aid directly to those folks is
19:18
critical. In addition to.
19:19
That for our immigrant workers that were working in these areas
19:25
working as gardeners working as house cleaners in areas like the
19:29
Palisades in Altadena, they lost their jobs and so they're dealing
19:34
with an economic loss as well.
19:36
myself,, and several other senators,
19:39
you know, have advocated and said that we need to ensure
19:43
you know, we're creating a fund and resource.
19:46
to help those workers and to help those that are undocumented
19:50
that have been impacted by the fires and I've really tried to
19:53
emphasize this because our immigrant community is going through so much right
19:58
now we're dealing with the crisis of Donald Trump being in office
20:02
and making threats of mass deportations and at the same time just
20:07
13 days before losing everything that you own in a fire.
20:11
And so it's been so.
20:12
So incredibly difficult for a Latino community.
20:14
I've talked to folks who are living out of their cars because
20:17
they're so scared to ask for help.
20:19
So you know that is top of mind for me and we're
20:22
going to continue to advocate to make sure that that those folks
20:25
have resources and support.
20:27
So we saw the White House posted on social media an ASMR
20:31
of a flight of deported migrants heading back after being deported
20:38
by the US government.
20:42
It is incredibly disgusting what's happening.
20:46
I think that you're seeing in real time that the Trump administration
20:53
more interested in putting on theatrical performances that demonize and target people
20:59
I mean, that video should be evidenced enough to folks
21:01
that this has nothing to do with public safety,
21:04
that this is about targeting black and brown immigrants.
21:12
seem as if that these folks are evil,
21:16
that is the narrative that they are trying to craft here.
21:19
It is just so clear that this is a racist tirade on
21:23
behalf of this presidential administration.
21:26
It is, it is shocking.
21:27
It is shocking to be alive during this moment in in politics
21:30
So what is the California Senate doing to push back and
21:34
protect immigrant communities right now?
21:36
Yeah, so there's a number of things that we're working on
21:39
you know, first and foremost,
21:40
I've moved forward legislation.
21:42
It's SB 98 or the SAFE Act,
21:44
and the SAFE Act would require all school districts as well as
21:47
colleges and universities to notify students,
21:51
their families, as well as campus,
21:54
staff, faculty, teachers,
21:56
if ICE is going to be present on campus,
21:59
if ICE is present on campus,
22:01
and for them to utilize their emergency response systems.
22:04
The exact same way that we would if there was any sort
22:07
of kind of catastrophic event on a on a school campus,
22:11
you know, we've allocated over $25 million to the Department of
22:15
Justice and to Attorney General Rob Bonta to make sure he's able
22:19
to hire more attorneys.
22:21
You know, we're getting ready to sue the Trump administration,
22:25
you know, should he go about breaking the law.
22:28
as a state, you know,
22:29
and as a state senate,
22:30
you know, we're here to defend the rights of.
22:32
Californians to make sure that our immigrant community,
22:37
you know, is being treated fairly and humanely and you
22:41
know as a, as a Latina you know leading in this
22:44
moment I you know I I can't emphasize just how important this
22:47
is to me well that's comforting to hear and going back to
22:51
resources and deadlines, what are some important deadlines we should know
22:55
of? I know I'm hearing left and right like oh my
22:57
gosh, this is coming up.
22:58
I gotta do that real fast.
22:59
I gotta remind my parents.
23:01
So your help is appreciated.
23:06
I appreciate you mentioning this because it's really important that we get
23:09
these dates on our calendar.
23:10
Mark them right here right now.
23:12
Yes, absolutely. First and foremost,
23:15
you wanna make sure you're getting your FEMA application in and your
23:19
small business administration application in by March 10th.
23:23
That is the deadline.
23:25
Make sure to fill that out online.
23:27
You can go to both of those.
23:28
Sites and submit that you want to get that in once again
23:32
by March 10th. The second most important application deadline is on
23:36
March 31st. That is to complete the right of entry form
23:41
which will allow the US Army Corps of Engineers to come in
23:45
and to clean your lot if you have lost your home.
23:48
They will clean your lot of smoke,
23:52
any of those damaged pieces of your home,
23:55
but you need to make sure that.
23:57
You're completing the right of entry form by March 31st.
24:02
You can find that application at the LA County website.
24:05
You can go ahead and type that into Google.
24:07
It'll come right up.
24:09
make sure that you submit that.
24:11
That will allow you to get to that next stage of the
24:14
rebuilding process. Thank you very much,
24:16
