00:00Bienvenidos a Politics Conocento, donde rompimos los problemas que importan para nuestra comunidad,
00:05desde el lugar donde ocurre, en Washington, D.C.
00:08En inglés, en español, o en español, porque nuestra comunidad merece entender lo que realmente está en juego.
00:13Este es nuestro primer episodio, y cada semana nos podrás encontrar en tu plataforma favorita,
00:19con nuevas entrevistas y temas.
00:20Hoy estamos en el camino a California para un uno a uno con el gobernador Gavin Newsom,
00:26que nos habla directamente sobre Proposición 50, la iniciativa que podría tener implicaciones determinantes
00:33en la política nacional y el futuro de las familias latinas, con la redistribución del mapa electoral del Estado
00:39para tener más escaños en el Congreso.
00:41Almost 7 million Latinos are registered to vote in California.
00:45La medida de los demócratas propone transferir temporalmente la autoridad de redistribución de la Comisión Independiente
00:51a la legislatura estatal.
00:53Alguno le llaman gerrymandering.
00:55What does that mean?
00:56It's a political manipulation of electoral district boundaries to invent a chapati or a group.
01:02And Texas has already done it.
01:04Ahí fue aprobado por los republicanos de manera directa.
01:07En Missouri, Utah e Indiana también se han visto estos esfuerzos.
01:11Pero a ver, this is not only a Republican plan.
01:14Los demócratas van por la misma línea, pero de diferente forma.
01:18Y de eso hablamos.
01:19This is a conversation about democracy, identity, and the Latino vote, con el gobernador Gaby Nielsen.
01:25Well, thank you.
01:37Thank you so much, Governor, for taking the time for this conversation
01:39and for opening the doors of this beautiful middle school for this interview.
01:43Well, right now we are in a perfect moment to talk about Proposition 50.
01:50And I want to start by saying that a lot of Californians and especially Latino voters, they are concerned.
01:56They are overwhelmed about the political tension, the news cycle.
01:59So they really are worried about what's coming next for the state and America.
02:05But at the same time, they have a very deep desire to understand how decisions can shape their communities.
02:11So that's where I want to start with that because as of October 7th, Californians, including many Latino voters,
02:17have already begun casting their ballots.
02:19Do you believe that voters have enough information at this point to make an informed decision
02:24about the impact that the new districts could have on their communities?
02:28Yeah, well, I do for a number of reasons.
02:33Recognizing it's a very short election, it's a special election.
02:36It ends on November 4th.
02:38As you suggested, the election's already begun because we have early voting, mail-in ballots.
02:44Those ballots have already gone out and people are already receiving the ballots.
02:48But one of the things that I think is significant about this redistricting effort,
02:52it's the first of its type in the country.
02:55The voters are being able to approve their own maps.
02:58There has never been redistricting where the voters themselves can decide on the maps.
03:05So it's democratic.
03:07It's transparent in that respect.
03:09And I'll remind people it's temporary.
03:11We're responding to what Donald Trump did as he tried to rig this election in 2026 by calling Greg Abbott in Texas.
03:20And he said he's, quote-unquote, entitled to five seats, and Texas gave him five seats.
03:26Only in response to that are we temporarily changing our independent redistricting commission for congressional races for three cycles.
03:36And then we revert back to the original intent of the voters.
03:41So I think we are in a very good position to win, and I think people understand this is not about lines on a map.
03:49This is about drawing line against Trump and Trumpism and the terror that he has distilled in the Latino community.
03:59Masked men, people in unmarked cars, people walking to school, walking their dogs, going to church, and disappearing.
04:09Families being torn apart through terror and authoritarian acts by the President of the United States.
04:16That's why Prop 50 is so important, and that's why I'm confident we're going to win.
04:20Economy is the main concern for Latinos in the whole country.
04:26And with the affordability crisis we have right now, especially for Latinos who will make up nearly a third of the electorate,
04:34how do you justify $220 million in this special election, when some may believe that maybe we can use the money to address immediate needs?
04:45Well, if we lose Prop 50, we may lose our country.
04:50We may lose the House of Representatives in perpetuity.
04:54There's no check on Donald Trump.
04:57Donald Trump has not only attacked the Latino community with unprecedented tactics,
05:02but he has cut billions and billions of dollars because there's no congressional oversight.
05:11He is unmoored, unchecked by the law or traditions.
05:15This is about power, and he's just beginning that process.
05:21He's cutting the biggest cut in health care in U.S. history,
05:25the biggest increase in health care costs coming this January.
05:28Under the Trump administration, what Prop 50 is about is about a check, about balances, about oversight,
05:35and it's about Congress doing their job and leveling the pain field.
05:41So it is a very modest cost to not only save our democracy, but to provide that kind of oversight and accountability
05:48so he doesn't run roughshod over education, run roughshod over our economy.
05:54You've seen what the tariffs have done to this economy.
05:56Inflation's up.
05:57Look at the cost of beef.
05:59Look at the costs of coffee under the Trump administration.
06:03He said he was going to make us wealthier and healthier.
06:07We're poorer and sicker in just eight months.
06:11Prop 50 is about reclaiming this country and reclaiming that system of checks and balances,
06:17and so it's deeply connected to the issue of cost of living as well.
06:21What can you say to the 35% of Californians who voted to have an independent commission to handle redistricting?
06:29I was one of them.
06:30I'm someone that believes in independent redistricting.
06:33On Prop 50, we actually principally assert, it's a policy question that's on Prop 50,
06:39that we support national redistricting.
06:41But we can't have one hand tied behind our back as the other side has decided not to play by any rules
06:48while they're changing the game midstream by their literally redistricting mid-decade,
06:55literally changing the maps for Republicans in Texas, in Missouri, about to do it in Indiana and Florida.
07:03California has to fight fire with fire.
07:05We simply have to recognize this is an emergency, and we're responding to this emergency in a temporary manner,
07:13but we're also asserting a desire to see national independent redistricting.
07:18Around 7 million Latinos will be able to vote in this election.
07:21What can you say to them when they are still wondering, how will they get benefit from this election?
07:26Well, they're going to benefit because we finally will have a speaker, Jeffries,
07:30so we can get some oversight, and we can then ultimately get some support,
07:35particularly here in Southern California, $39 billion for our recovery efforts.
07:40This is unprecedented. I hope people appreciate.
07:43It's been nine months, almost nine months since the devastating fires,
07:46and the President of the United States has said not a word to support the people on our recovery.
07:52$39 billion was asked of the federal government.
07:55It's pro forma. It's tradition in this country.
07:58Red states, blue states, Democratic administration, Republican, to be there in a time of need, an emergency.
08:04In the President of the United States, the only word he said was no, because he didn't like our politics.
08:10Speaker Johnson said hell no, because he doesn't like our politics.
08:15Do you know what I was proud of?
08:16I was proud as a taxpayer, not as a governor, to be there for Louisiana after the devastation of the hurricanes,
08:23to be there for Florida.
08:25I hope we're there. I hope the President of the United States has the back of Texans because of those floods.
08:30And what occurred, 127 people lost their lives.
08:33I want to be there for the American people, but the President of the United States does not want to.
08:38Speaker Johnson doesn't want to because we're a blue state, because we embrace our diversity,
08:43because we have too many Latinos,
08:45because we provide health care regardless of immigration status,
08:48because we provide legal support for people who have mixed status families that are concerned
08:52that a member of their family has disappeared, that we provide food stamps.
08:56They don't like that.
08:58And so they're trying to assault this state, and they're trying to take away money,
09:01and they're breaking the law.
09:03The tariffs are illegal.
09:05The lower courts have adjudicated that.
09:06It's illegal.
09:08What he's done with the National Guard, federal courts in California have adjudicated that.
09:13This is an unprecedented moment in U.S. history.
09:16We can lose this country unless we stand up to this president.
09:21And that's, again, what Prop 50 fundamentally is all about.
09:24Governor, last night I was scrolling down on your Instagram account,
09:27and I saw this video where you state that Mike Johnson's super PAC spent $5 million
09:32in a new Prop 550 campaign,
09:35and former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, $1 million.
09:40That's a lot of money.
09:41You said you can win.
09:42And, by the way, part of Speaker Johnson's PAC was Elon Musk, who's no on 50.
09:50It's Donald Trump.
09:52It's the former right-wing speaker from Bakersfield, by the way,
09:56that supported a bill that sold out his own constituents by cutting their health care
10:00with a big, beautiful bill, increased their health care costs,
10:04cut food stamps in his own backyard.
10:07Kevin McCarthy.
10:08They don't care about you.
10:09They do not care about the Latino community.
10:11Quite the contrary.
10:13Listen to their words and their actions.
10:16So they've put in tens of millions of dollars.
10:19One donor that has gone after the LGBT community,
10:24one donor who's a big Trump supporter,
10:25this guy Munger,
10:26has put in $32.5 million.
10:29One donor alone.
10:31Here's what's different.
10:32We have over one million individual contributors, averaging less than $30 contributing.
10:39We've raised $33 million online in small dollar amounts from all 50 states.
10:45It's the biggest grassroots campaign in California history,
10:49and we put it together in just seven and a half weeks.
10:52Because I think people understand what's at stake.
10:55And people are putting that stake in the ground.
10:58And I think they understand that this is about the assault on the rule of law.
11:03This is about a system of checks and balances.
11:07This is about the core values of our democracy.
11:09And it's an assault on our diverse communities.
11:13Because at the end of the day, what this all has in common is three letters.
11:17D-E-I.
11:19They don't like the diversity in this country.
11:22They don't like the pursuit of equity.
11:25And they have been aggressively, aggressively assaulting communities of color
11:30to a degree that we have never experienced in at least my lifetime.
11:35We talk about authoritarianism.
11:37It looks very different for someone like me.
11:40I'm very lucky.
11:42But if I'm living in East L.A., authoritarianism is here.
11:46I don't think that.
11:47When I sit there with a young kid whose parents both disappeared
11:52that went to a food processing plant that they've been going to for 20 years
11:59and their window was smashed, mom and dad disappeared.
12:03The kid didn't even know how to get back into his home in Ventura County.
12:06He had no brothers and sisters or cousins.
12:08He's sitting there crying.
12:10He's lost his family.
12:12He's American.
12:13Speaks perfect English.
12:15Goes to the public schools.
12:16Trump doesn't give a damn about him.
12:19That's what Prop 50 is about.
12:21It's about stepping up and pushing back against this bully.
12:25It is not the rule of Don.
12:27It is not the rule of Donald Trump.
12:29It's the rule of law.
12:32Can you assure the Latino community that they will be better represented if they vote yes?
12:37Oh, unquestionably, because what it's doing is leveling the playing field that gives us a chance in 2026 to take back the House of Representatives.
12:46Right now, the House of Representatives is supine, meaning they've just rolled over and they're playing dead.
12:52Yes, and Mr. Trump, what else do you need?
12:55Yes, and.
12:56Speaker Johnson, zero oversight, zero accountability.
12:59Again, what is this government shutdown all about?
13:03Fundamentally, it's distilled.
13:05The essence of it comes down to massive tax breaks for corporations and billionaires that never even needed or asked for them.
13:14In order to pay for a part of that, they had to have the biggest cuts in health care in U.S. history.
13:20And we're about to experience the biggest premium increases in U.S. history.
13:25And for Californians, 600,000 Californians are about to lose their health care in January on the health exchange, Obamacare, because of these premium increases.
13:34The average will go up almost 100 percent, 97 percent.
13:39Some people will see triple the cost of their health care.
13:42They won't be able to afford it.
13:43They quite literally will drop health care because of Donald Trump and his pursuits.
13:48So, again, Prop 50 level the playing field, giving us an equal chance of taking back the House of Representatives and to get this country back on track.
13:57And I ask that, Governor, because the Latino community feel in some way betrayed from each party.
14:04So they really want to make sure that what they are hearing now from you is not something that they will regret in the future.
14:11Yeah, look, I've had their back.
14:12I've been back over and over and over again.
14:14I just signed the nation-leading law as it relates to take off your mask.
14:19Take off your mask.
14:21Identify who you are.
14:23Do process.
14:25Had the back of the community.
14:26Been out calling out against the federalization of the National Guard, the militarization of American streets.
14:33He put 700 active-duty Marines.
14:36He didn't send them overseas.
14:37He sent them right here in Los Angeles.
14:39And we called that out.
14:40We litigated.
14:41We're pushing back.
14:43We have 41 lawsuits against them.
14:45At the same time, I did a special session.
14:47And who are the biggest beneficiaries of the special session in the Latino community?
14:50Because in the special session, we set aside tens of millions of dollars to help support our rapid response network, to help support due process, to help support lawyers being made available to people that have had loved ones taken or disappeared because of activities in ICE.
15:12We've done more on health care than any state in the United States for our Latino community.
15:16We continue to be there.
15:19We have a lot more work to do.
15:21I'm not naive about that.
15:22But he's the one that has betrayed the community.
15:25Democrats in this state have had the backs of the community.
15:28And now that you mention the troops, President Trump has mentioned many times that he could invoke the Insurrection Act.
15:36What could you do if such an order is extended to California?
15:40We're on the other side of totality.
15:41I mean, this is, we'll have lost our country if he does that.
15:47You know, some people have accused me of being a little hyperbolic when I said in June that the National Guard, when they were federalized, 4,000, not 400, 4,000 of our brave men and women.
16:00These are librarians, our National Guard.
16:04These are firefighters.
16:06These are sheriffs.
16:07These are doctors.
16:08These are our neighbors.
16:10And they're used now as political pawns to put a mask on, no longer embraced and celebrated as they were here in L.A. during the fire recovery.
16:19But now people are scared to see these remarkable neighbors being used as a political pawn, seeing them militarized on the streets of American cities.
16:28They're taking Californians to Oregon, but if you cite under the Insurrection Act, if the President of the United States actually does that, now we're on the other side.
16:45That is a break-of-the-class scenario.
16:50That is a worst-case scenario.
16:52That is a worst-case scenario.
16:54And we're not even, the fact that he even uttered that is extraordinary.
17:00And it should put a chill down people's spine.
17:04The one thing that we were successful with, and it's meaningful, was Judge Breyer, a federal judge here in California, in Newsom v. Trump.
17:13That's the case.
17:15He determined that the actions of the president, federalizing our National Guard, were illegal under Posse Comitatus.
17:23The Insurrection Act specifically nullifies Posse Comitatus, and that's why the Insurrection Act, that's why he's even uttering it, because he knows what he's done to date is illegal, but it wouldn't be if he invoked the Insurrection Act.
17:41That is a very scary prospect.
17:43Do you still trust the judicial system and the courts?
17:46Because even though you've had wins, there are also other cases where he has won.
17:51Yeah, look, he's stacked very effectively.
17:55He stacked the federal courts in his first four years.
17:58And so some of these appellate court decisions haven't necessarily gone away, but we've won the vast majority.
18:04We've won the vast majority.
18:06What I'm most worried about is the Supreme Court.
18:11They have been using what they call the shadow docket.
18:14And this, I mean, what more evidence you need of the importance of Prop 50?
18:19I should have started here.
18:19Donald Trump now has sanctioned racial profiling against the Latino community.
18:25And the Supreme Court, using the shadow docket, said to the president, you have the right to racially profile Latino people on the basis of not just skin color, but now you have the basis on your accent, on the language you speak or where you congregate.
18:44That's pretense, no due process, no due process, they can grab you off the streets, masked up, no identification, and you could disappear for two, three weeks without any oversight.
18:57In the United States of America, that was sanctioned racial profiling by the United States Supreme Court under this administration.
19:06I hope people wake up, I cannot impress upon people, the imperative.
19:12It's not about being a Democrat or Republican.
19:14It's about being an American and caring about these enduring values of our founding fathers, the best of the Roman Republic and Greek democracy.
19:21That's what our founding fathers took the best of that, co-equal branches of government, the rule of law, popular sovereignty.
19:28It's all on the line.
19:30And so, again, we're drawing a line with Prop 50, and we're fighting back.
19:34And no other state's doing it.
19:36Well, I mean, I'm really proud that California's gotten this far, but it means nothing unless we, the people, don't show up and turn out the vote on November 4th.
19:45How do you envision an ideal immigration policy, one that secures the border but also reflects California's humanitarian and economic values?
19:54Well, we do have to do it.
19:55Look, the Democratic Party failed to secure the border.
19:58We have to own that.
19:59We did on the last administration, period, full stop.
20:02That's self-evident.
20:03Any objective observer.
20:04And, by the way, that's not me saying this as a revelatory statement.
20:07We put a lid on a lot of what was happening during the Biden administration.
20:11I opened in five different centers and three different counties, Imperial County and San Diego County.
20:18In L.A. County, we opened these migrant facilities at Riverside, excuse me.
20:21We opened migrant centers because we were dealing with a lot of pressure on local government to address that cross-border activity
20:31because it wasn't being addressed by the federal government.
20:34We invested over a billion and a half dollars of state money for those centers, working with nonprofits, Jewish family services, and Catholic charities.
20:43We did an amazing job.
20:44And we were very vocal with the Biden administration.
20:49You know, this is the largest land port in the world, San Ysidro.
20:52It's the largest activity, the most significant activity.
20:55So California was disproportionately impacted.
20:57And we were frustrated with that.
20:59That said, the Democratic Party needs to own that moving forward.
21:03But we also need to own the fact that the economy of California is the fourth largest economy in the world for a reason.
21:09Because 27% of us are foreign-born.
21:11Because we practice pluralism.
21:13Because people from all around the world come here for riches and new beginnings.
21:16Because we get the best and the brightest first-round draft choices around the world.
21:20Because they feel like they belong here.
21:22They feel seen.
21:23They feel heard.
21:25It's a point of pride that we're the most diverse state in the world's most diverse democracy.
21:31And I don't say that from the perspective of farm workers in the Central Valley.
21:36I also say it in the context of farm workers in the Central Coast.
21:40As well as folks in Silicon Valley.
21:42From valley to valley.
21:45H-1B visas and what the president's trying to do in that respect.
21:48The impact and our ability to get the best students from around the world.
21:53To keep them in the state of California.
21:56In the United States.
21:56It's what separates our game from the game played anywhere else.
22:00It is because of our diversity that this state dominates in every major economic category.
22:10We have no peers.
22:12We're a donor state.
22:14The money Donald Trump is taking from California is money we gave to the federal government.
22:20Texas is a taker state.
22:22They took in $71.1 billion the same year we provided the federal government $83.3 billion more than we received.
22:32That's the vibrancy of California.
22:34And it's in that diversity that our economic output is derived.
22:38And I think the Trump administration's vandalization not just of the immigration policy as it relates to illegal or irregular immigration.
22:51But what he's doing to legal immigration is a huge under-focused story in this country.
23:00And it's going to have profound economic impacts on this nation.
23:02H-1B visas.
23:03What's going to be the impact?
23:07No state's more impacted than California.
23:10I mean, look what's, I mean, again, we want the best and the brightest.
23:16We've got a formula for success.
23:18I mean, it starts right here.
23:19It's education.
23:20These conveyor belts for talent, the UCs, the CSUs.
23:23It's about pushing the boundary of discovery with our research and development.
23:26We have 18% of the world's R&D in California.
23:29Only Germany and China can lay claim to more research and development.
23:34But part of that conveyor belt balance is an immigration policy that gets, again, the best and the brightest.
23:40And H-1Bs are a big part of that.
23:42You look at some of the most iconic companies, some of the most iconic leaders, Elon Musk, Jerry Yang came here, H-1Bs.
23:52You look, I mean, it's a point of pride, these companies from India to China, other parts of the globe, from Russia.
23:59It's already had a devastating impact.
24:01And you hear that.
24:02I'm hearing that from company leaders, many of them that are quiet, some that I think are just complicit because they're scared to death of this administration because they think the administration will attack them.
24:13And that's another thing that's happened in this country.
24:15Crony capitalism is finding its way.
24:18And we're seeing the nationalization of great American companies like Intel.
24:22And we're seeing people sell out in ways that are pretty shameful.
24:26And that's a separate and equal conversation, perhaps.
24:30Governor, in less than a year, President Trump has reversed or regretted dozens of longstanding policies across multiple areas.
24:37If you had a chance, would you undo those changes?
24:44Well, it depends on what it is.
24:46Look, his tariffs are illegal.
24:48California is the first state to sue him under that.
24:50These tariff policies are wrecking this economy, wrecking our relationship to our allies around the rest of the globe.
24:57They're absurd.
24:59The Bolsonaro tariff of 50 percent in Brazil has no economic basis whatsoever.
25:04It's petulance, political petulance by the president.
25:08This coffee is now costing us.
25:11It's a 50 percent tariff, but it's already up 20.9 percent year to date.
25:15And everybody is feeling that.
25:17Has no basis in economic reality.
25:20That said, I'm not against tariff policy being surgically and strategically deployed.
25:26So when you talk about erasing everything he's done, I think it's more nuanced than that.
25:33It's not a binary.
25:34I think there are some policies that should be pursued, but with much more sophistication than they currently are being pursued by this administration.
25:45But these tariff policies are failing.
25:48Inflation that was cooling is now growing.
25:51Unemployment.
25:52They're lucky.
25:53These unemployment numbers just didn't come back out.
25:55You saw the ADP, the payroll numbers.
25:57You saw they had to redo all the prior numbers a month ago.
26:01I mean, this economy is starting to slow down in a pretty profound and consequential way.
26:07In every category, Donald Trump's approval rating is underwater, including immigration and border policy, which used to be a strength of his because of his abuse of what's happening in Chicago, the abuse of what's happening in Portland, the abuse that was demonstrable here in L.A.
26:24So there's plenty to unwind, but there are certain things that are wise, but you don't have a wise man implementing them in the White House.
26:35If you want to make all those changes, Governor, you need to be in the power.
26:39How would you do that if you have said repeatedly that Donald Trump wants to continue in the government?
26:45That's what Prop 50 is about.
26:46It's about power.
26:48What Donald Trump did, he knows he's going to lose the midterm elections.
26:52That's why he made the phone call to Greg Abbott.
26:55Why else would you make the call?
26:56Why do you need five votes, five seats?
26:58That's a position of weakness.
27:01Donald Trump is one thing.
27:02He's weakness masquerading as strength.
27:06Who else threatens the Insurrection Act?
27:08A weak person.
27:10Who else makes threats to incarcerate people like myself or the governor of Chicago or of Illinois?
27:18Who else makes those threats but a weak person?
27:22What he expected us to do in response to Texas is hold hand and have a protest.
27:27He expected us maybe to write an op-ed, have an interview, and say, boy, that's wrong.
27:32I don't think he expected us to fight fire with fire and put an initiative on the ballot to fight back.
27:38And so, again, Prop 50 is about power.
27:42It's about leveling the playing field, and it's about taking back the House of Representatives.
27:46To your question, if we're not successful next November,
27:51I fear that we will not have an open, free, and fair election again in this country.
27:56I believe that in my soul, that in 2028, we will not have a free and fair election
28:03if we're not successful in taking back the House of Representatives in 2026.
28:07And that starts with Prop 50 in 2025.
28:10Will Prop 50 set the path for you to get to the White House?
28:14It will set the path for us to take back the House of Representatives
28:18and get Speaker Jeffries into his position, where he has real power and real influence,
28:25where we can have a system, again, of checks and balances,
28:28where we reinstore a sense of fairness and rule of law, not the rule of Don.
28:34It has nothing to do with anything beyond that.
28:36Thank you, Governor.
28:38But before we finish, I want to ask you two questions that are related to your social media.
28:42I saw a post where you framed your relationship with Donald Trump as a romantic one.
28:47Yeah.
28:48You've seen Taylor Swift's song.
28:49With Taylor Swift.
28:49I don't know offense, Taylor, but it was a good song.
28:52By the way, it was a new song, day one of that song.
28:55Is that actually romantic, the relationship?
28:57It was a, I mean, you can judge those images for yourself.
29:02Well, he sounds like he's hugging you sometimes.
29:04We have an interesting, I will say this.
29:07Everything I just said about him, I say this with some knowledge.
29:11You're talking to probably the only Democratic governor
29:15that has had an extended relationship with him for years and years and years,
29:20going back to his first term during the midst of COVID,
29:23where we worked incredibly collaboratively together.
29:25I've talked to the president on multiple occasions this year,
29:30and I was in the Oval Office, the first Democratic governor there,
29:32for almost 90 minutes a few months ago with the president.
29:36So I know him well.
29:38He knows me well.
29:40He's petulant.
29:41He's a child.
29:43Who else calls a governor new scum, not new sum?
29:48He told me, he called me, he said,
29:50Hey, Gavin, what do you think, that new scum?
29:52Pretty good, isn't it?
29:53I said, well, it's not, he goes, it's pretty original, right?
29:56I said, it's not original.
29:57I said, what do you mean?
29:58He goes, what do you mean it's not original?
29:59I said, in seventh grade, they called me new scum.
30:03I said, you're 79 years old and called me new scum.
30:07He's the president of the United States.
30:09It's a bit unbecoming.
30:11And then he immediately talked to me about how many mega hats he sold.
30:14He's not a serious person, but he has a very serious position.
30:20And that's why we are seriously positioning ourselves at this moment.
30:25And we're using social media to communicate.
30:29And to your point, we're being more aggressive.
30:32And we're trying to put a mirror up to Donald Trump.
30:36And at first, a few months ago, when we shifted our social media, people didn't understand it fully.
30:42They're like, this is unbecoming.
30:43People on Fox News said, it's unbecoming.
30:46And that was the mirror we were putting up.
30:48Why aren't you calling out the president of the United States, who's posting pictures of himself as the Pope, who's putting his photo up there on Mount Rushmore, who's running around cosplaying as if he's Superman with large biceps or wrestling bears or animals.
31:09And we're looking at this like the emperor has clothes on.
31:12The emperor has no clothes.
31:14And so that's what the entire social media is about.
31:17It's a parody, but it's also about a mirror.
31:21And we're putting up the mirror against the most powerful man in the United States.
31:25And it comes with risks and it comes with consequences.
31:29But I think it's worth the risk.
31:31And the consequence of not doing it will lose our country.
31:34The Super Bowl, Bad Bunny.
31:35Are you happy with him?
31:36I mean, Bad Bunny's next level great.
31:38And by the way, Bad Bunny comes from a beautiful part of this country called Puerto Rico.
31:48And I just want to remind my Republican friends, Puerto Ricans are not foreigners.
31:55They're Americans.
31:57Forgive me for reminding so many of my Republican friends something they should well be well aware of that they seemingly are not well aware of.
32:04That was a stroke of genius.
32:08Thank you to the, well, that was the committee, not the NFL itself, that made that judgment.
32:16But I wouldn't mess with Bad Bunny.
32:18That's like messing with Taylor Swift.
32:20Bad politics.
32:21Perfect.
32:23Thank you.
32:24Thank you, governor.
32:25All right, mi gente de California, this is where it gets real.
32:29The story doesn't end with today's episode.
32:31It continues at the ballot box.
32:33Proposition 50 isn't just about redistricting maps or political lines.
32:37It's about representation, voz y el futuro de nuestra democracia.
32:43I'm Stephanie Ochoa.
32:44And this was Politics con Acento.
32:46Nos vemos en el próximo episodio.
32:51We'll see you next time.
