Footage of our recent interview with Marco as he recalls a recent conversation with his cousin in America.
| 00:00 - 00:05 | A few days ago, I'm trying to hurry my kids out the door | 
| 00:05 - 00:07 | "You're going to be late, gotta go" | 
| 00:07 - 00:10 | I get a call, from Charlie | 
| 00:11 - 00:16 | He was Manuel, now he goes by Charlie. A little fat. | 
| 00:17 - 00:21 | Moved from here at the beach to America | 
| 00:21 - 00:24 | He did! | 
| 00:29 - 00:31 | He did! | 
| 00:31 - 00:34 | Right in time for the election. | 
| 00:38 - 00:40 | He did! | 
| 00:41 - 00:47 | But anyway, I'm still putting the kid's lunch together while I'm talking to him | 
| 00:47 - 00:50 | Trying to hold the phone | 
| 00:50 - 00:56 | Finally get it back to my ear and | 
| 00:58 - 00:59 | on the TV | 
| 00:59 - 01:01 | I see The Apprentice coming on | 
| 01:04 - 01:06 | Donald's face right there | 
| 01:06 - 01:08 | I couldn't hold it anymore | 
| 01:13 - 01:14 | He did! | 
| 01:14 - 01:16 | Why would a guy... | 
| 01:16 - 01:20 | ...who has a job here already | 
| 01:21 - 01:27 | "Hey baby..baby..grab the kids! We're going to be hated in another country!" | 
| 01:35 - 01:36 | I laugh every single day | 
| 01:36 - 01:39 | Thinking about Manuel. I mean Charlie | 
| 01:41 - 01:44 | But no...no...I really care about my family | 
| 01:44 - 01:47 | I would give each of them the shirt from my back... | 
| 01:47 - 01:49 | ...and I promise I try | 
| 01:50 - 01:53 | It's just...he may need it | 
| 01:54 - 01:56 | ...no lie. | 
| 01:56 - 01:58 | He's moving further North now. | 
| 01:58 - 02:02 | So far in the South he hasn't found anything | 
| 02:05 - 02:07 | He did! | 
| 02:10 - 02:11 | My mother... | 
| 02:11 - 02:13 | My mother... | 
| 02:15 - 02:17 | Mom the other night... | 
| 02:17 - 02:20 | ...tried to get his address, but they live in a truck | 
| 02:21 - 02:28 | He said "It isn't that bad, they have air condition. But appreciate the money because gas is so high. | 
| 02:29 - 02:30 | For the truck? | 
| 02:30 - 02:32 | Yeah, the truck. | 
| 02:36 - 02:39 | I know it's really not nice to laugh at family | 
| 02:40 - 02:42 | But I mean come on | 
| 02:50 - 02:55 | I promised my mother I wouldn't bring up the truck thing. | 
| 02:56 - 02:58 | Ever lived in a truck? | 
| 02:58 - 03:04 | I didn't really consider it an option, don't think there is enough room. | 
| 03:04 - 03:09 | ...But I've never had the freedom they do over there. | 
| 03:09 - 03:11 | Charlie needs to come back to the beach | 
| 03:16 - 03:20 | And his job... | 
| 03:23 - 03:26 | Just can't make this stuff up, Juan | 
| 03:31 - 03:36 | I'm sure he'll be back soon, and I hope he gets back safely. |
