00:00Mayor of San Francisco, supporting the efforts at the state level. Very proud of Governor Schwarzenegger's leadership, proud of those that supported that effort. I was one of the few elected Democrats at the time that publicly stated my support for the independent redistricting. So absolutely I support a national framework. In fact, the work we're advancing with the legislature does just that. It reinforces the framework, the policy through a constitutional framework to advance as policy.
00:30Support for independent – national independent redistricting commission. That's absolutely the goal. I'm appreciative that this member of Congress is waking up to the realities of what has occurred in Texas. I haven't heard much from him as it relates to the condemnation of their efforts, but I'm grateful that he recognizes the importance of a national framework.
00:53Sorry, just to be clear, his legislation prohibits a mid-decade redraw. Is that something that you'd be okay with? That way you wouldn't –
00:59Well, this whole thing is in response to – and in many ways it's the spirit – and I appreciate your question and I'll build off it – it's the spirit of the special session, this special session, as it relates to putting ourselves in a position to respond to the assault on the rule of law and our democratic principles, principles of federalism,
01:29and our democratic principles, and our democratic principles, and our democratic principles.
01:31And I think that's the spirit of the state of California are brought to bear light with the litigation that we've advanced. The proposal that we're advancing with the legislature has a trigger. Only if they move forward to dismantling the protocols that are well established would the state of California move forward in kind, fighting, yes, fire with fire.
01:55So in that light, I believe there's consistency.
02:00Hi, Governor. Monica Madden, you need to see the news. Last night, California state Democrats and congressional Democrats had a meeting to discuss this ongoing redress 15 plan and –
02:09Let's thank you.
02:10Thank you very much.
02:12Thank you, Suzanne.
02:13Thank you very much.
