Great conversation. Thank you Adrian for having him on live. I subscribed to Carlos' substack. I am on the upper side of age, a native Angeleno. Many of my childhood friends were latino and all through my years of school (Perris, CA, boonies, LOL, of Riverside County ( mostly farming area) I NEVER thought they were different from me. It has been sickening to see the Republicans use the Hispanic community for their gains.

I have watched the Republican (now MAGA) party continue to use the Hispanic community for decades as a wedge issue. I want to remind everyone that the Biden administration curated a bi-partisian immigration bill (Raul Grijalva CD07, Tucson was not happy with it; he was on the Progressive side) which Trump/MAGA killed just so they could do what they are doing right now with the community.

I am pleased to hear Carlos address the dis-information campaign that went on for the 2024 election. Biden's economy was the envy of the world! and that did not seem to translate to voters. I believe many fell into that trap as there was very little truth that was talked about from Trump. I am grateful you all will work on that!

Now, are Dems perfect? No - But we are the moral, righteous party right now, and we have to get stronger in our support and protection of the Latino community. Thank you for letting me comment.
