I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that you let yourself feel. And I let myself feel joy about DJ. And I hope he's alive for another, you know, 95 years. And I hope he lives and lives. The life he wants to live. He wants to be a cop. He knows what he wants to do. And maybe when you have childhood cancer, that crystallizes for you.

And I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer. But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters. And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide. And I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then live to see Donald Trump pardon those people.

I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that you let yourself feel, and I let myself feel joy about DJ, and I hope he's alive for another, you know, 95 years, right? And I hope he lives an...

My daughter was using the girls' bathroom and was stunned that a biological male student was using it as well. She was told by the administration that a student can use the bathroom as well as a female locker room because they now identify as female. The situation went from bad to worse. A few days later, the male student was present in the girls' locker room.

Feeling violated, the girls made the choice to not change into their PE clothes with a biological male student present. The next day, assistant principal Kathy Vantrese pulled the girls into their office questioning them. The same day, assistant superintendent Joanna Ford, Kathy Vantrese, and multiple teachers all came into the girls' locker room, making them change into uniform.

Thank you so much for having me, Charlie. I really appreciate this opportunity. This has just been a very, very tragic and very terrible situation for everybody that's been involved. This happened back in February, and it's just continuing on to happen. To make a very long story short, the administration has chosen to continue this on. Our girls have suffered.

They have continued to have the biological male student present in the locker room with the girls. And they are absolutely in violation with President Trump's executive order. And I want to thank him directly for having this executive order that should be protecting our girls. This is a direct violation of his executive order.

And I warned the administration multiple times that they were in violation. And they're continuing to they're continuing to to violate this order.

There was no other. Yes, there was no other option. There was no other option that she had other than to change. by the administration. And they had four other teachers. So it was the assistant superintendent, the assistant principal, and two other teachers. How difficult would that be as a child? You are only 13 years old. How do you think that that pressure felt for... for any girl.

Some girls that age, they do not even like to change in front of their mother, their friends, the intimidation factor. How do you think that that would feel for anybody? That is absolutely not right. And then you throw in a mix a transgender child on top of that, which is in direct violation of our good, thank God, President Trump's executive order. Thank God that that

that protects us, they were in direct violation. The next day, so this has happened multiple days, the next day, my daughter, when she saw the biological male student there, and she saw that he was going to be changing directly in front of them, that's when she ran out of the classroom because she could not handle it. She could not handle it. She ran out hysterical crying and screaming.

And that's when she called me.

And you have now... And Governor Pritzker, that's why he does not want phones in schools. And he does not want children to be able to have their phone. Thank God my daughter had the sense that she was raised that way to be able to call me. And she was strong enough because what some other kids are not strong enough. Some other kids are not strong enough to have that sense.

And I'm so thankful that my daughter did and that she did the right thing and she knew that that wasn't. And there are gender neutral bathrooms available. There are 25 to 30 kids in that PE class. There are not enough private spaces for them to change into.

So when Mike Simek, the superintendent, said there are private spaces, how would 25 to 30 students be able to change privately and be able to make it to PE on time?

It's like you do you, you do you. But at the same time, then use the gender neutral bathroom. There there is that opportunity. It would be a different story if there wasn't a gender neutral bathroom. But there is.

What is the update? So I filed a police report yesterday. I filed a grievance with the district, which that was a very, very, very difficult situation for me to handle. I reached out to the District 109, to Mike Simic's department, multiple times, sent multiple emails asking the grievance process.

I received the policy online, which in order, and I received a phone call from him, in order to file a grievance, you have to file it either verbally with their estate, So they can phrase it with whatever woke terminology they give you. So they can be phrased how they would like it. Or they said you can write it in person. After that was about six to eight emails that I sent to district.

The only response I got back to him was an hour before I had to go on Laura Ingram. It was the very first time. Wanting to meet in person for a little chit chat. And I said, unfortunately, Mr. Simic, that is not going to be happening.

There's been zero response from the district. So I filed a police report. I finally was able to file a grievance with the district because it took this long for them to give me the steps to file a grievance. The district or the DOJ has the report that was filed that has been referred to the Department of Education. And now we're we're waiting.

Thank you.

There's been three other parents. I know one other parent for sure has gone to the police department filed a report. Another parent I know is going there today to file a police report. Another person has filed a report with the DOJ, I mean the OCR with the DOJ. Another person has as well. And there's parents that are involved right now talking to lawyers. So I'm not the only one.

It's just – I'll be honest, though.

I'm getting a lot of emails that are from parents that have left Deerfield that this is why. And that is the saddest part.

Absolutely not. I'm not. As of right now, no. We didn't do anything wrong. It's really... It's really horrible what's happened. And I'm going to fight, fight, fight. That's what I'm going to do. I'm proud. And we did nothing wrong. And my daughter is the victim here. And we're going to continue on this fight. I'm not giving up. You might have mama bear that is, but I am fired up.

So this fight ain't going anywhere. And I'm going. I'm very, very excited to continue on this fight. And this has got to stop this woke policy. This is the ultimate example of activist educators dragging social experimentation into our children's classroom. You know, threatening young groups of girls has now become stock trade for educating our young under these.

Don't give up. Talk to, make sure that you're educated. Make sure you know the facts. Make sure you know the laws. Talk to kids, really. That is the main, have a great relationship with your kids. Have your kids feel comfortable talking to you and make sure that they stand up for themselves. I mean, thank God that my daughter knew that that's not right. And she stood up for herself.

Some are not strong enough and that's scary. So they just, you know, and they're vulnerable. They're really vulnerable at that age. And that's really, really sad and it's really hard. So just, you know, stay strong, stay strong, have a good relationship with your kids. That's the only thing. And, you know, hopefully I can set a good example and be there for other parents. That's what I want to do.

God bless you as well. Thank you. Thank you for having me.

Honestly, I just hope everyone's OK. And I hope that like we can just do better precautions so this doesn't happen again. And I just feel awful for the students on there having to go through these emotions right now, dealing with the like feeling scared for their lives. Honestly, it's really scary.

Yes, right now. They're still on campus. They're on lockdown right now.

They're doing okay? Yep. Texted them. They just said they're scared, they're in lockdown, and they just want to go home.

No, I just hope everyone's okay, praying for the people that are injured, and I just hope we can do better in the future.

You're quoted in the complaint as saying that's his specialty. He's the uterus collector. Is that how people refer to this doctor?

And I hope he lives the life he wants to live. And I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer. But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters. And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide.

And if they don't want to leave, how are you going to force them, Mr. President?

John Kelly, Kellyanne Conway, Steve Bannon, Jared Kushner. Let's hook them up to a polygraph. You know what? It's a serious offer. If you're willing, any one of you, hook up to a polygraph. We'll put it on TV. You can have my hour. We'll do one a day. Is Donald Trump fit for the presidency? Is he capable of carrying out the responsibilities?

There's a growing and insidious trend in right-wing media, broadcast, print, and social media. It is to take highly misleading and selectively edited videos of President Biden directly from Republican National Committee social media accounts. And then use those videos to spread messages virally to cast doubt on President Biden's fitness for office.

Cheap fakes, videos of real events that are intentionally manipulated to fool viewers.

People should know that. I mean, this was not, you know, 7,000 people doing this. This was what you sort of caught from your own reporting in the Trump administration. I mean, the facts are probably few and far between. But I think that that's the point, right? Like Elizabeth's covering this, we come on the air to do our shows, and the point is there's so much. So let's just stick with DJ.

I mean, I think that if there was a moment where your whole body could relax and you could celebrate someone, it was the 13-year-old cancer survivor who would like to be a police officer. It was a genuinely beautiful moment, and the moment that probably was most familiar to the State of the Union addresses we were both a part of.

Problem is, in the beauty of that child is the tragedy of the Trump presidency. Because we don't know how he survived pediatric cancer, but it is likely he benefited from some sort of cancer research. And it is a fact that Trump has slashed cancer research. It's a fact. by eliminating NIH and by all the cuts, pediatric cancer trials are halted. And God willing, he won't need any more treatment.

But if he does, I hope that NIH wasn't responsible for anything that let him live this long. He also talked about wanting anyone who murdered a cop to receive the death penalty. But Donald Trump's first action was to pardon all the January 6th insurrectionists who assaulted and violently beat cops.

Correct. So I think there is a shallowness. And I think that, I mean, I know you and I know you probably could have gone on for... You know, the 30 minutes with the fact check and it's vital and we have to do it. But I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that that you let yourself feel. And I let myself feel joy about DJ and I hope he's alive for another, you know, 95 years.

And I hope he lives and lives. the life he wants to live. He wants to be a cop. He knows what he wants to do. And maybe when you have childhood cancer, that crystallizes for you. And I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer. But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump's supporters.

And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide. And I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then live to see Donald Trump pardon those people.

Thank you so much for having me. I've never used Mike's shot. This is where my husband usually then. So I'm sitting in his chair. So thank you for having me.

You know, I stayed out of it completely. So he deserves all of the credit.

Well, I mean, the idea that we're flying blind is so terrifying, but we only think of it in the context of flying blind vis-a-vis our adversaries. And it's difficult in this context to even make clear which side is our adversary, right? But I think we had a similar reaction to Trump's ambush of Zelensky in the Oval Office.

But one of the things that has taken a minute to reveal itself is just how blind we would be to how Ukraine would respond and how Ukraine would proceed. And I think there are a lot of things that we have to reevaluate and change the conventional wisdom.

The idea that Ukraine is the underdog is still correct, but the idea that Ukraine will not score massive victories in this war and do massive damage to Russia that will also have implications to our national security was probably an erroneous assumption. The idea that Trump aligned us with Russia is something that the world is still sifting through. But the fact is we are flying blind.

And that is terrifying vis-a-vis Ukraine and Russia. It's terrifying vis-a-vis Ukraine. China and the tariffs, it's obvious that we have no idea what's happening inside China and their economy. And we have no idea what's happening inside Ukraine and Russia and the war there. And that is probably the larger, scarier national security piece of what Trump has accomplished in 130 days.

Well, look, I heard from Sue Gordon tonight. I mean, the national security DNA is so wired to protect America, right? I mean, they are so hardwired to do everything in their power and to apply everything they know and all the relationships they have across our alliances in service of, you know, protecting this country.

And so there's no way that they wouldn't return to those roles and those traditional, you But what's so bat bleep crazy is that we even have to ask those questions. And I was watching your open and it rightfully focuses on the technology. I think when we look at it, and I watched your A block with tears streaming down my face, it's more about what will we lose in the near term?

And what will we lose in terms of our standing in the world when you see a government so distant from its own people? I mean, as you said on the immigration story, as is true on the tariff story, which I spent a lot of time on today, Trump is moving the country away from what the people want it to be. And when you look at what Ukraine did, it didn't just score a massive military victory.

It displayed technological competence that is the envy of the world this morning. So it's not just that we're on the wrong side. It's not just that we're flying blind. It's that we may have missed out on an unbelievable technological breakthrough that we, heaven forbid, might need someday.

Well, you I mean, you podcast people make it look so easy and the whole I can do it in my head is a total head fake. I mean, it is not easy because you can wear your sweatpants. But what I love and I think you you. you made this so clear and you were so generous with me, but there is a different conversation that you have when you're wearing your headphones and your sweatpants.

There is a real intimacy to it. And I loved our conversation. I was so happy that we got to put it up today. And it's really, I have a lot to learn. I can't stand listening just to my voice. So I want to go to podcast school now and learn how to get better at it, but it's really fun.

Yes.

I finished high school. I did my last year of high school like online.

I mean it was also the pandemic so I had to do it online either way but I was filming so I really couldn't do a lot of high school

my like what's like senior year what's like no freshman sophomore year i also did like i did i went to school but i wasn't really in school because i was filming all the time uh-huh so yeah kids didn't really like that wait kids didn't like that no what do you mean were they jealous I don't know. They did. I wouldn't say they bullied me because I would never like say they bullied me.

But there was this thing of like, oh, she's never in school. And the teachers let her like not be in school. And we're going to be mean to her about it.

Because I didn't really feel like I didn't really care. Cause I've, I've never, I've never felt like, uh, I don't know. I, I, yeah, I never cared. Like they were stupid. So I wouldn't want to be friends with them either way.

Yeah. So I kind of felt bad for them. And then, and then I started college and, when i finished and but i did also college online and i'm still in it oh really i mean i wouldn't say i'm in it right because i think that's like too much um but i do want to like keep on doing it yeah psychology major oh wow yeah you know who needs a lot of psychological help here i am

I know.

Yeah.

My mom sucks bad. Yeah. She's. Yeah. Yeah. No. It's very bad. That's why I'm actually glad that she kind of like gets to like. go to college and have like a new kind of little life and mature and, you know, grow from that. But yeah, the, her family's not the best she's had. Well, she's had it gone through it. Yeah.

Yeah.

And it's the best.

I think there is. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Maybe not like an actual race. But there is a lot of cars going very fast.

I don't know if that counts.

I finished filming like a month ago, a TV show for Prime called The House of Spirits. Have you ever seen it? No. It's this movie. Well, it's a book from Isabel Allende, which is a Chilean writer, like very, very big. And there was this movie made, I don't know what year, like in the 90s, 90 something, I think. I'm not sure. Correct me if I'm wrong.

And it's like Meryl Streep, Wyonna Ryder, Antonio Banderas. It's like the best cast in the whole fucking world. And they did this, the adaptation, they did a movie.

No, no, no, no. That's like the... I was like, wait, what? And I'm just so chill talking about it. Oh, the original, you're saying. Yeah, they did, like, the first adaptation that they did was a movie with those actors, and it did very good, but at the same time, it was, like, it's a Chilean, like, story about the politic that was going there, and it was, like, American white people playing it.

They skipped one generation of women. It's, like, this amazing, like... magical realism story and it's very cool and now they're doing a series about it like with a lot of more detail like in the book so that's what i just filmed i'm playing meryl streep's character wow which is crazy in the brain

That was amazing. I had the best time. I was in Chile for like four months, which was a lot. And I did miss a lot, like my friends and I was a little homesick, but I had the best time and it's going to be amazing.

I'm normally alone. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. No, I feel like now that I'm traveling a lot with this like press tour and everything that I'm doing, I do feel like maybe I should get a friend to tag along. But I do. I am very independent and I do like my alone time. So it doesn't really matter.

Until I go crazy.

I'm an Aries.

I'm an Aries.

Yes. I'm a Sagittarius rising.

Cancer. Cancer.

Yeah, I'm very emotional, very, very intuitive. I feel like it's the psychology part of me. I love being the psychologist of the group and being the maternal group, mom person. But yes, I'm at the same time the friend that's going to tell you like, You are being stupid. Yes. And I love you, but stop.

Yes.

Oh, okay.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

But I'm sorry.

I mean, you're here, you're successful as fuck. So I don't know. Bitch, you too.

Do you remember? Okay, wait, I need to tell this. Like months ago I texted you and I was like, I just had a dream about you.

What was the dream about again? I can't remember. I sent you an audio about it. I can't remember what I dreamt about.

I forget always.

And I'm like, who is this person talking about? Like, what are they talking about? I have the voice memo. Oh, my goodness. Please play it.

Hi. I know this is very random. But you were in my dream last night. It was a very weird dream. I was dreaming with horses. And people were riding horses. Because I saw this video.

I don't know if you've ever seen the people that dance on top of horses running.

And I saw that before going to sleep, and then I dreamt that you did that.

Maybe I didn't dream it, but I just thought it was funny, and I should tell you.

Yeah, have you never seen it? Like they go on top and they go down. I don't know. That's such a random dream to have. But I do dream with horses a lot.

I love horses.

I did it when I was very young and then I stopped and then I did it now. I've been like for a year doing it.

Too many.

I'm not in college. We can't say that I'm in college because I have not been in college for like a year and a half.

I went and I want to go again. I'm like, this is like my security blanket.

Passandra, I love you, Passandra.

Do they kiss?

You like her? Okay. We'll talk about it later.

I think it's like the, she gets mad because, you know, she's always like, she could have given him the money.

Yeah, so it's, like, a very manly thing to do. Like, oh, if it was his friend, maybe he would have, like, you know, taken the money. But since it's, like, his girlfriend, he won't. Right. So I think it's more of a, like, don't be stupid and get yourself into trouble and sell cocaine for money when I can lend it to you and you can work and then give it to me when you can. Right.

So I think it's more of a, I think it's a very common thing in like relationships. Yeah. With men. Yeah, because men. Don't do it. Bad.

I saw it on your stories.

I wouldn't say ugly. But I feel like if you're from the States and you go to Madrid, you think they're cute just because they're different.

But I don't know. I feel like they're much more real than in here.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. But at the same time, They're very like, I feel like maybe in America, there's this like, maybe it's an LA thing, not an America thing. But there's a lot more guys with like a lot of like ambition and they want to do stuff maybe like for the best or the worst.

But in Spain, there's a lot of like just people that don't really, you know, want things in life.

Maybe, I mean, the quality of life is- Words out of my mouth.

wait we are because i was gonna say the quality of life is so much better it's amazing i would never stop like i do want to come to la at some point in my life but never leave madrid forever because it's the best city in the world and you get like everything and you know you can have a coffee and a croissant and like some nice fresh orange juice for four euros how

That's, like, maybe half a coffee here.

Yeah, probably. Maybe more.

Yeah, I'd say that. And, I don't know, you just get to, like, walk everywhere. You don't have to, like, use your car. And there's amazing public transport. I'm like, Madrid needs to, like, pay me to do this. The tourism department. Yeah. Yeah, I know. But it is the best city in the world. Not that I'm biased.

You've never been...

You were going to come this year.

And then I went to Tate's concert alone. Well, not alone. I was with my friend.

How amazing is she? She's the best. She's crazy. Like, I do not understand that woman is real. She was incredible.

She's, like, the most... She's, like, 20...

One? Yeah. She's, like, the most hardworking 21-year-old that I've ever seen in my life.

I'm so happy to be here, guys.

Once. So, yeah. What were you going to say? I completely cut you off.

Yeah.

I was very surprised when I found out. I found out after they filmed everything. I mean, it's fun because I get it. It's doing very good and it's expanding and I love that for us. But at the same time, it's weird because you normally do remakes when it's been maybe a couple years after it's been done and people kind of want it back. So doing it at the same time does feel weird.

But I've done remakes before. I've been a remake.

I did Scam. I did my first show. It's called Scam. Do you know it? Like the Norwegian series? Of course I know Scam.

Yeah, Nora.

Well, I did the Spanish Scam.

There's a lot of them. We're like a worldwide thingy. Yeah. Actually, one of my best friends, her name's Kennedy. She's coming now to see me. And she's the same character as me, but in the American version.

I'm so happy. I'm so happy I got to see them because I was like, if I just... You're amazing, but I didn't really want to meet them.

Yeah, so there's like Italy, like France, Netherlands. We're everywhere. So I've been that and I love that I'm like the OG. Right. And I get to like see that happen. But at the same time, it's kind of weird. I'm very excited to see it. I'm very intrigued. Right. Very intrigued. Because also like British people are very different than Spanish. So I don't know how that's going to work.

yeah we're gonna turn into a marvel right but it's the same story just in english yeah i think they do change it a little bit so that it's not like the same complete thing um yeah we'll see we'll see how she's amazing the girl that plays noah is the coolest

Yeah. I met her in London like a couple months ago and she was very, it was like a Spider-Man. Yeah.

Yeah. We did this like, you know, the Sabrina Carpenter song.

We did that TikTok. It was very cute. Yeah.

Yes.

Yes.

How was? I have to say, I don't remember.

No. I just was so, like, in shock. Yes. Like, in a complete, like...

dissociating like moment I I I finished and I was like I'm so happy with what just happened like it was crazy it was amazing it was the best three hours and a half of my life amazing what what you first no I was gonna say where did you see her I saw her in Vegas one night and then I saw her three nights in LA wow that's fun yeah it was really fun what were your surprise songs king of my heart and and another one

She went as well. It was King of My Heart.

Yes.

It was so fun. I started screaming so bad. Oh. It was incredible.

Yeah, it was like a very big mashup.

I'd say my favorite Taylor Swift song is Turn Your Own Kid. Because I do feel that song a lot. I listen to it a lot. But do you know, this is a very nice thing. Culpa Mía, the writer, she wrote like her inspiration from it was Trouble from Taylor Swift.

Yeah.

She came to, this is a very like, like full circle moment. Cause she came to LA with her friends. Cause the book is based in LA. It's not based in Spain.

Yeah. And she saw the trouble, like the trouble music video came out and she loved it. And she, that's the inspiration of culpa mia.

Exactly.

A little. She's trouble too. She's a little trouble sometimes.

Yeah. I mean, what did you think about the ending of the second one?

Mm-hmm.

but why is it why did i guess because they added sophie why did they think that it's their fault well because they do feel like if they hadn't like made them apart and and everything then they could have probably just like figured it out and nothing would have happened and the gala wouldn't happen and They also lied about their whole entire relationship to both of them.

Yeah, she lies. She has a little, well, it's not a little white lie, but it is not as big as everyone else's.

And she's the only one that's like, I'm so sorry, I'm lying.

Yeah, the rest are like, don't give a shit about anything.

I know.

That's kind of what they tried. I was like.

No, no, that's, that's like what they wanted to people to think like, Oh, she asked crazy as we're thinking. And then no, but, uh, but yeah, it's funny. She's so nice. She's like the nicest girl ever. And she plays the craziest.

Me too.

Are you a revenge person?

Not really. I do like a confrontation.

Yeah, you do seem like you're not a confrontational person.

Okay, let's try. I don't know how to even explain this. So it's about this girl that her life completely changes. She goes into this new life with a new stepfather that is rich. As fuck. As fuck. And meets her new stepbrother and randomly falls in love in between a lot of like races, car races and fights and a lot of drama and stuff. And yeah. And the second one just comes out now.

Am I the problem?

like I don't choose confrontation if I have to, but I don't mind it. Like I rather have it for other people than myself. Right. Like if it has to be like with something that is happening to me, it's kind of like obviously not good, but I'll go like 100% for other people. Like I'll scream.

based on other people but not for myself yeah i like last time i was here in la sorry about this what i'm gonna say my friend um had like a very shitty thing happening with her like ex and her one of her friends they cooked up and you know how it goes and i literally came into while they were having like a discussion gave her like a matcha or whatever i was getting and i said to the ex i was like

hi, I'm so glad I get to meet you like this because I hate you now. And I can see the actual real you.

He's just like, hi, Nicole. And I was like, and you're a bitch. So I do, like, I don't mind, like, doing that for other people.

Yeah. It likes to come out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thank you, Beyonce, always.

No.

It's so hard to get tickets.

I wouldn't say I'm number one. I have listened to it, but I don't know every song and everything. But I do just love her as a star.

Yeah, she's the greatest.

Oh, good question. I don't think so. I think we were all very excited to go back and do it. I do feel like there was maybe a little more pressure to do a good job and knowing that so many people were expecting it. Maybe that...

made like a little hard for maybe like even not even us but maybe more like the director and the people that were like more in charge than us um that pressure maybe did make it harder um but not really i don't feel like like at least the people that like i don't eva or any of them the fame didn't really go up into our heads.

I feel like we didn't really experience it as much when we were filming because we didn't film, like it was closer together than you might think.

In Madrid and in Marbella, which is this place in the south.

You need to come to Ibiza. I've never been. You need to go to Ibiza.

It's the best. Is it fun?

no it's it's so fun but it it's also very relaxing like you can get it's it's what i like it's you can get the best of both worlds you can like go to like a little beach where there's no one and then go partying like raving the next day so and how how is partying in madrid oh partying it's very different than in like the states explain because i i'm desperate to go to

All the time, and you're, like, with your drink, talking, not moving, and the music is, like, very bad, and everyone's, like, it's in the house. Yeah. Which is, I mean, I guess, like, house parties are sometimes fun. But you guys are, like, home by, like, two, three.

Yeah.

Like, we start at 2. Stop!

Like, parties, like, I'll be, like, having dinner at 10. Then we'll, like, start drinking at, like, probably people, like, start drinking at 5. But we'll, like, start with, like, heavy drinks at, like, 11, 12. Talk till, like, 1. And then 1.30 we're getting into the club. And we go home, like, at 7, 8 when the sun starts coming out.

Then the sun starts coming out and you go to like a little bar where they have... What?

Not a bar. But like you go to a cafeteria and have like churros for breakfast with chocolate.

And it's just a little like... Yeah, a year after, and they're together, so it's a different kind of, because the first one is kind of like enemies to lovers. Right, right. And now it's more just lovers to whatever the hell goes.

I mean, for most... Not for me. But for most people, yeah.

Yeah.

I think she's doing it. I think she's booking it right now. I think she's there doing it either way. But yes, we are. Yeah. I don't understand like how people do it every single night, but I've been doing it like when I was younger. Cause I, I, I never, I don't drink much.

Um, but I've done it without like drinking till like 7am like with nada.

Yeah, and you just have the best time, and there's reggaeton, and there's this place, there's this party that they put Hannah Montana songs, and it's like 4 a.m., and it's, you get the best, and everyone's drunk, screaming.

It's so cool. It's very fun.

Yes. There's a Taylor Swift, only Taylor Swift songs party some days.

And five. Yeah.

Never. Like I never see a phone. I have my phone because I like taking videos and taking pictures of my friends and stuff. But most, yeah, I've, yeah, most of my friends never take out their phone. Yeah.

Yeah, it's crazy. I was in a house party once here. How was that? Yeah. Yeah. It was weird because I was very jet-lagged, and I remember I was with a bunch of friends, and they all went to, like, the house to, like, change. And I didn't change, and I was, like, in a hoodie.

And I went to, like, the party in a hoodie, and everyone was, like, in the... And everyone was like, oh, my God, I love your hoodie. And I was like, I'm wearing, like, a green... Like I'm not, it's not a cool hoodie, but I feel like it was just weird that I was in a hoodie.

Yeah. Um, I don't know. It's, it's very different. Then I went to another one, also a house party and I tried to grab the phone and change it to bad bunny. It didn't really work. I think I, I think I put one song and then they changed it back to, I don't know. That's interesting.

Yes, but I feel like people don't really... You guys don't really listen to that at parties. Unless it's a club party. I haven't been to many clubs here, so I can't really do contrast.

Yes. I'm dying to go there. I've been to New York.

No.

My sister lived in New York for like five years.

She loves it. She loves New York.

I know. Should I move to New York instead of LA?

Really?

I know. I know. I feel like New York is a like bigger and crazier Madrid. And then Barcelona is like a smaller and funner LA.

Yeah.

Yeah, because I feel like maybe someone is like, what is she even saying? But for me, L.A. Now it's your experience. Yeah, L.A. is like very controlled. Like all the streets are very the same. You can move in a car. The partying isn't.

that crazy Barcelona has great parties of course there's a beach and I feel like that's kind of Barcelona for me like you still have that European feel that you can walk anywhere and there's like very cute streets and very cute places but it is I feel like more Structured than Madrid. Madrid is very, like, old. So it has, like, a lot of... More history. Yeah. It's very crazy.

And I do like the people more in Madrid than Barcelona.

I'm going to get so much hate from Barcelona now.

Yeah, for me, yes.

Barcelona is like too slow for me. Like it's too like chill for me. I feel Madrid is a... New York is like a lot.

It's not as New York, but it is like a little... Like it is the capital of Spain. So like everyone's there. I don't know why I didn't think that. Yeah. So there's a lot... There's a lot more things happening and it's not like a beachy place to vacation in. It's more of a, oh, I go to party and see museums. What do you do in New York if you're visiting and go to museums?

So yeah, that's kind of my take on it.

I'm having so much fun.

Yeah, I'm on my period and this is like the most comfortable.

Questions. Amazing.

Yeah, of course. That's kind of what my direction is trying to go. It is hard, and I do feel like there's a lot of cinema and a lot of projects in Spain that are amazing, that are getting more recognition now. So I do feel like my work there, I don't want to leave it. I don't want to do like, oh, she becomes a Hollywood actress and forgets where she comes from.

But I, I mean, I am half American, so I do feel very like home when I'm here.

And I mean, he traveled a lot, but he, his like town, like hometown would be like Washington DC. Oh, cool. Maryland.

Yeah. My grandparents and my whole family lives in Colorado now.

I don't know. I'm just curious now. It's the craziest love story in the world.

So my dad loves sailing. And when he was 21, he came to California and decided that he wanted to like travel the world and do like the whole thing. thing in a sailboat and he yeah so he would find like people that had sailboats that were like going somewhere so like hey can i go and i'll wash your boat and work on your boat and then i'll just like jump off whenever you let me

So he did like Mexico and did like a lot of places and would change boats to like do the whole thing. And then he got to Mallorca, which is one of the islands in the Balearic Islands in Spain. And my mom was working there. She was a barista in a little bar in Mallorca.

Yeah. And they went out one day. I don't know if they met in Mallorca or if they met back in Madrid. But like a couple months or a couple weeks later, my dad went to Madrid because he obviously wanted to see Madrid before he left. And my mom went back to Madrid because that's where she's from to like see her parents and everything.

Just because it's cheaper.

And they met in this like very cute flea market that there's in Madrid on Sundays, I think. I think it was there. I don't know. Maybe I'm making this up. But, um, yeah. And they started like kissing, but my mom had a boyfriend and so, yeah. And then like a whole thing. And then my dad never left.

Yeah. Yeah. Five years, six years later they had my sister and then they had me.

Basically. And I mean, it's better for me as well because I just get to do them and kind of like be able to go on with my life. It was very confusing, though, because it's like very different movies. Like the second one is kind of more similar than the first one. But the third one is completely different.

Yeah. It's crazy.

My dad does, like, architecture thing. Oh, sick. But he was a photographer when he was, yeah. He's done it all. He's done it all. My mom's done it all. Like, my mom's, like, a businesswoman, but she loves film. That's why we're really into film. She would work on, like, movies, like an assistant, like, director and everything. And then she had like a spa.

Then she had like this business of like cooking things. And yeah, she's, yeah. She's a boss. She's a boss. She's the boss. She hates when I say this in interviews, but she's a momager right now.

She's like, yeah.

Completely... Like, I need her in my life. Yeah. I would go absolutely nuts. And it's just very easy to have someone to, like, can you do this while I'm doing whatever? I can't really deal with it. I have a lot of anxiety.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I have, like, really bad anxiety. Like, not anymore. No, not anymore. Not in this period of my life right now. But I do have, like, very bad moments of anxiety. And I'm a very, like, overthinking person. And I can get really in my head. And sometimes when I do have, like, very big anxiety moments, I'm like, please, mom, can you do it? And she'll do it. And I trust her with my life.

So it's very important.

Yeah. It's a comfort. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's very physical.

So I completely like can't move sometimes. Like when it gets really bad, like obviously I can go with my life with anxiety most of the time. But when it gets really bad, it will just be like heavy breathing and like completely like paralyzing. And I can't really – I'll just go into my bed and like –

live there for for the week not the week but for the day yeah but I've it's interesting because I've dealt with it since I was younger and I I started therapy when I was 16 no 18 so I kind of like I'm very used to it now and I can like deal with it much better so yeah it's something that I really love

learning about well psychology major there she is what how do you what are some um methods you use when you're anxious to like calm yourself down do you have do you have any um yeah i feel like uh writing helps me a lot baths helped me a lot um letting it like pass is very important as well i feel like when you just like

So it's it was a little it was better because if it was to be like similar, then I would have gone completely crazy.

When you have anxiety and you're trying to, like, make it go away, it just makes it worse because then you're trying to, like, you're judging yourself for having anxiety and you're like, oh, no, how I need to do stuff and I'm not being productive enough and you just get in your head.

Sometimes you just be like, okay, well, this is my day and I have anxiety today and I'm going to go to bed and eat a cookie and watch Culpa Mía for the sixth time. Yeah, pay in. Pay in.

um for me it would be like watch i don't know um harry potter or gilmore girls or gossip girl for the sixth time or friends um and then i'll just and tomorrow will be another day i think that's for me the best like if i do have to do stuff and i can't really like do another thing just like breathing and maybe take a pill yeah smoga yeah that's how i do i do smoke a lot of cbd

Yeah. I think it's sometimes even worse.

Yeah, and I would not remember a thing. But, yeah, it was fun.

Oh, that's nice. Yeah. That's good to be awake.

Yeah.

Yeah, of course.

I love Gossip Girl.

But, you know, I met, what's her name? Serena's mom.

I met her at New York Fashion Week, like, this year.

Tommy Hilfiger.

Really?

No.

No, it wasn't on a boat. It was like a random, it was like the central station at New York.

So it was like, literally I was being Serena Vanderwoodson.

Oh, that's true.

No, it was right before we met.

Yeah. So she was there and I had to take a picture with her, obviously. And we did. And then we started chatting and she was like, my daughter lives in Madrid. Oh, yeah. She goes to school there. And I was like, what the heck? Well, if she needs something, I'll be there always. So, you know, you have somewhere to like call if she needs anything. She's like a couple of years younger than me.

And she was like, oh, you're so nice. She started following me on Instagram and then we chat sometimes.

Yeah. She's so lovely. She's so nice. Yeah. She's so cool. So lovely. So chill.

Yes.

Oh. I'm the girl best friend.

Yes.

So I have a very big, like, guy friend. group of friends, all very like straight, um, and very platonic. They're like my brothers. I would never, ew. But I do, I do have a like very like close relationship. Like I, my best friend comes to sleep like three times a week and, um, he's like my, my husband. So I do understand. And I've always understood like that point of view and that like,

place where their girlfriends could be in i've never had a bad experience with their girlfriends thank god because it would be horrible and very awkward but okay so i would say it's completely normal to feel that way to feel that way but at the same time talk about it with her not him

Yeah, you can shut up about that.

It can be true. Yes. And be okay. But you don't have to tell her.

But yeah, I feel like if you tell her if she's a nice girl's girl, she'll understand and she'll want to like give you your space and your position. But at the same time, yeah, just tell him like maybe don't do those comments on, you know.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, I have to say it goes a little weird after that, but it's because it's Gossip Girl, not real life.

Yeah, the premise is the important part.

And if she's not, then there you go. Then you have a problem. Then you don't have to like her anyways.

This could have been written by my best friend, Kennedy, that lives here in L.A. She has the most crazy roommate experiences. It's so bad. I'm trying to get her to live alone. I don't know, it's hard, but try to find... I feel like living with friends can be very complicated.

Yeah, you just have to try.

Yeah.

Yeah, and try living with people that you... Like, people that you like have, like, a connection to.

Because I feel like maybe that can, like, kind of help. Like, oh, if you're friends with this person, then that means maybe you're, like, a good person as well. Maybe that can help.

Yeah, a mutual friend situation is helpful. I don't know. It's so hard, though.

I've never... Well, I lived with my sister for a while. That doesn't really count because she's my sister. I've lived with her my whole life. So, no, I live alone now.

No, no. Oh, oh. Then I lived with her for like a year, just us. That was great.

yeah I like I would I wouldn't do it again I love you I wouldn't do it again just because I did feel like we would go back to like sister dynamics when we are living like in our parents house like she'll be like the older sister and I'll be like the younger sister and to like get out of the house and be independent and all that I do feel like I can't live with a family member so I don't know you are so self-aware it's crazy

Thank you.

Question mark. No.

Thank you. It's, it's, I feel like it's a good thing and a bad thing. It comes with like a double.

Double sword. Yeah. So sometimes it can work. Like,

So the first one was a little different than the second and third. Okay. The other ones. The first one we did like do this thing where you have your car and it's like,

Because you had the threesome?

Shit. Never been in that situation.

I feel like, okay, so I don't think it's a bad thing. I don't feel like they should be like judging you or making you feel bad for saying no.

I feel like, okay, if you ask, okay, maybe, I don't know, crazy era.

Whatever. But if you say no and they're like looking at you weird- And then you feel bad. That's where it gets fucked up.

Oh, no.

Oh, no. That is so sad. It's so bad that it's your neighbor.

Yeah, you just tell them.

I had fun. You have to use the sandwich method.

You've never heard of it?

Okay. Psychology major here.

So the sandwich method is you go, had so much fun, you know, bread. So good. I loved hanging out with you and that day was great. But go in the middle. But it's not what I'm looking for now. I just want to be friends. I don't have the time to hang out. And it's making me a little anxious to, like, have to say no all the time. So I would rather blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

basically like tagged along to another car and the other car is the one that drives and you just tag along like you're a little like is it fast it's very fast it's like actually the same thing you're legitimately racing yeah it's like the same thing but you just don't have to like really do anything because it's just tagging along with the car in front of you so that's what we did in the first one and obviously there's a lot of like green screen for like the close-ups

And then you go, but please, let's still be friends again. You know?

You put the meat in the butts.

Yeah, for all. For everyone.

Yes.

Okay, so I feel sorry for you, but at the same time, I don't.

Yeah.

Just think about it like a growing period and going for something better. Like this is going to change your person. Like, you know, people that say like, they think bullying is important. No. Sometimes they say that. Okay. So there's not like, okay, wait, let me rephrase that. Um, like that bullying or like, yeah, Getting bullied.

Yes. Getting bullied is important to like character development, character development, everything. I feel like this could be something like that. Like you need to go through a shitty job and get like, you know, fired, fired and like a slap in the face to have character development and, and, you know, grow. So just make it like, yeah.

It's important.

No.

Really?

No.

Love it.

Yeah.

Just think about it. Like, it's going to happen at some point. So, the...

like faster you get through it the better because it's better to have it i don't know how old this person is that is right but if you're like young and you're going through this and great because imagine being 40 and having to like go through it in that moment that's horrible right so i always say when something bad is like like professionally or like that is happening while you're younger like you're learning a lesson you're learning a lesson younger it's always good to

Yes, 100%. I think.

Too many things.

Oh, yay, me too.

Oh, thank you. We learned that Madrid is better than LA.

That we love partying.

What else didn't we learn?

Sandwich method.

Yes.

It's, you know, thank you, therapy.

And thank you, therapist.

Thank you for having me.

Bye, love you. Watch my fault, your fault, and all the faults. It's out 27th of December. I think it's going to be already out when this comes out, so.

Go watch it because it's out on Prime Video.

I love you too.

and but the for the second and third we did not do that just because it's it's a lot like it can get really messy yeah so we just did a lot of green screen and then and then and then they have like specialist people that do amazing stunts and stuff and i just watch okay from a corner yeah

I have to say it's the third one. I haven't watched it fully. I've just seen the little scenes. But I feel like the storyline is the one that makes more sense and that is a little less crazy. Except for the last 30 minutes of the movie, it's completely insane. It does not make sense, but I love that as well.

It's sad. I don't want it to end. I know Peyton doesn't want it to end either. Peyton crying. Yeah. Crying. Um, yeah. And it's cool. Cause in the third one, there's like a gap of like time. So they're like a little more mature and it's cool.

Well, we did, like, just different hair, like, extensions and stuff. And then, yeah, very different, like, clothing. You can see that she's, like, younger in the second one. And acting.

Well, I started when I was 15.

I was very little. Yes. And I've never done like acting classes or anything. I just kind of went into it because my sister was doing it. I was like little sister. Right. I do whatever she does. And then she decided that she wanted to be a director and be like the other side of the camera. And I just kept going. And yeah, I got cast in a Spanish TV show when I was 16 and did that for two years.

And then just here I am now.

I mean, I did a couple other shows in between. But yeah, I feel like Culpables was like my break or whatever.

Kind of, yeah. It was in the span of like 15, 16, 17, 18, like four years. Wow. Yeah. And I spent one of the years, I did not work. I did a lot of auditions and I wasn't getting casted. Also, I feel like in Spain, there's not, there wasn't as much as production and like shows and movies as there is now. Right. So I feel like that's why I'm getting more jobs now. Yeah.

um because it was huge it's yeah it's crazy i feel like they did i did know that it was going to be big in spain just because it's a very big book and it's you know the books are have like a great fandom and they're crazy but i didn't i never would have thought of that it was gonna be like so international i think that's the most surprising

And I don't know, I feel at the same time there was a lot like movies that were making, you know, like teen movies that were coming out before Culpa Mía. So I kind of saw what happened with those before. And I was like, oh, okay, maybe that can happen. But it was just like 10 times bigger than what I imagined.

I feel like in the first, like, month, you could already, like, see, like, I don't know, there was, like, breaking record, like, first movie in, like, non-English in Amazon to, like, the most watched movie, like, number one in whatever, how many countries. And it's still, like, in the top 10 a year after. So it's crazy.

Yeah.

yeah we are a lot which is fun because the first movie was like completely like summer camp yeah um and i have like i've had a lot of like good friendships come out of the the movie so yeah that's fun i'm trying to think if i have any other questions about the cupabla series am i pronouncing that right you're actually so good really you know any other like spanish words

Like... You can try.

We listen and we don't judge.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

No. But it was close. What was it? I said, and I hope we're friends forever.

Oh, freaking. Have you seen Wicked?

I feel I've been the same.

I'm on meds. Well, I loved your album, by the way.

You listen to Puss in Poems? Of course. What was your favorite song? I mean, what's it called? The meds one. Oh, Pharmacist. Pharmacist is the best. I listen to it when I'm taking my vitamins every morning.

I don't know, since I could like breathe. Yeah. Yeah, I went to her Dangerous Woman tour. That was my first concert ever. Really? And it was right after the Barcelona, like it was in Barcelona and it was right after the Manchester thing happened.

So I was it was like a very big moment because I was like, oh, my gosh, everyone was a little scared. Right. But it was like a very big. Yeah. Thing. And I just I love her to death. Yeah.

What's your favorite song on the new album?

Of course.

No, but it's the best song that has ever been written.

I mean, obviously we can't be friends, but the like acoustic version.

So that one, but as well, I think I Don't Want to Break Up Again is like so underrated.

I think about my best friend when I listen to it. You do?

No, it's the best.

I get it.

For like, I'd say six years. I think I'm about my guy best friend, which is the best. Yeah.

Like, not school school, but he was like, my school was in his neighborhood.

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

18. So did you...

The conspiracy theories, the outrage, the tightness of the T-shirts, all of it surely floats Donald Trump's boat and his music to his ears. It's likely part of the very essence of the reason he was selected. The job of deputy director of the FBI in the United States of America is a serious job that affects every person living here, people around the world.

It's the kind of job that has to be done well by whomever does it. If the bureau stands any chance of actually catching real bad guys.

And I hope he lives. the life he wants to live. He wants to be a cop. He knows what he wants to do. And maybe when you have childhood cancer, that crystallizes for you. And I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer. But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump's supporters.

And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide. And I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then lived to see Donald Trump pardon those people.

Like what?

This nightmare began on February 5th when my daughter was using the girls' bathroom and was stunned that a biological male student was using it as well. She came home frightened and was extremely upset. The situation went from bad to worse. A few days later, the male student was present in the girls' locker room. Feeling violated, the girls made the choice to not change into their PE clothes

with a biological male student present. The next day, Assistant Principal Kathy Vantrese pulled the girls into their office questioning them. The same day, Assistant Superintendent Joanna Ford, Kathy Vantrese, and multiple teachers all came into the girls' locker room, making them change into uniform. This went on all week with the addition of Ginger Laugerman.

My daughter refused to take part in having her privacy being violated. How dare they?
