1
00:00:00,564 --> 00:00:01,565
a critical part of his

2
00:00:01,565 --> 00:00:03,767
coalition, and a dim democratic

3
00:00:03,767 --> 00:00:05,769
in Nevada, appear to be turning

4
00:00:05,769 --> 00:00:06,337
away.

5
00:00:06,337 --> 00:00:08,806
We want to bring in the league

6
00:00:08,806 --> 00:00:11,542
of Latin American citizens,

7
00:00:11,542 --> 00:00:12,343
Domingo Garcia.

8
00:00:12,343 --> 00:00:13,811
Domingo, thank you very much

9
00:00:13,811 --> 00:00:15,346
for being with us from Dallas.

10
00:00:15,346 --> 00:00:17,648
CNN's latest poll shows only a

11
00:00:17,648 --> 00:00:19,817
4% gap among Latinos between

12
00:00:19,817 --> 00:00:22,753
president Biden and Republican

13
00:00:22,753 --> 00:00:23,654
front runner, Donald Trump.

14
00:00:23,654 --> 00:00:25,456
You think that Joe Biden can

15
00:00:25,456 --> 00:00:29,660
win reelection with the margin

16
00:00:29,660 --> 00:00:30,361
that slim?

17
00:00:30,361 --> 00:00:31,362
>> No.

18
00:00:31,362 --> 00:00:32,863
He's going to have to up his

19
00:00:32,863 --> 00:00:33,364
game.

20
00:00:33,364 --> 00:00:35,566
For too long he has taken

21
00:00:35,566 --> 00:00:36,834
Latino issues and Latino voters

22
00:00:36,834 --> 00:00:38,369
for granted.

23
00:00:38,369 --> 00:00:40,638
I think voters in Nevada are up

24
00:00:40,638 --> 00:00:41,372
for grabs.

25
00:00:41,372 --> 00:00:42,539
What are you gonna do about

26
00:00:42,539 --> 00:00:42,873
jobs?

27
00:00:42,873 --> 00:00:43,674
What are you gonna do about

28
00:00:43,674 --> 00:00:44,375
inflation?

29
00:00:44,375 --> 00:00:45,676
What are you gonna do about

30
00:00:45,676 --> 00:00:49,747
education for our children?

31
00:00:49,747 --> 00:00:53,384
These are tamale and talk of

32
00:00:53,384 --> 00:00:53,884
issues Russ.

33
00:00:53,884 --> 00:00:57,788
Bread and butter issues for us.

34
00:00:57,788 --> 00:00:58,522
Not only in Nevada but Arizona

35
00:00:58,522 --> 00:01:01,892
and other battleground states.

36
00:01:01,892 --> 00:01:06,397
>> I will take --

37
00:01:06,397 --> 00:01:07,398
over Brett about a year any

38
00:01:07,398 --> 00:01:07,765
day.

39
00:01:07,765 --> 00:01:09,400
He's trying to push this idea

40
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,934
that he is a union president.

41
00:01:10,934 --> 00:01:13,404
Obviously we know unions play

42
00:01:13,404 --> 00:01:15,406
an outsized role in Las Vegas,

43
00:01:15,406 --> 00:01:15,839
specifically.

44
00:01:15,839 --> 00:01:18,742
The culinary workers union.

45
00:01:18,742 --> 00:01:21,412
Nationally his approval rating

46
00:01:21,412 --> 00:01:23,047
on the economy is in the low

47
00:01:23,047 --> 00:01:23,414
30s.

48
00:01:23,414 --> 00:01:26,050
It doesn't totally match where

49
00:01:26,050 --> 00:01:27,751
economic indicators are.

50
00:01:27,751 --> 00:01:30,421
Why are many feeling the

51
00:01:30,421 --> 00:01:32,056
economy isn't healthy and that

52
00:01:32,056 --> 00:01:35,559
Biden isn't handling it well?

53
00:01:35,559 --> 00:01:37,961
>> I think it home you are

54
00:01:37,961 --> 00:01:39,763
still looking at smaller and

55
00:01:39,763 --> 00:01:42,933
smaller reserve spending left.

56
00:01:42,933 --> 00:01:45,836
So much money is being spent on

57
00:01:45,836 --> 00:01:47,838
gasoline, food, rent,

58
00:01:47,838 --> 00:01:48,572
mortgages.

59
00:01:48,572 --> 00:01:51,041
The people don't see that they

60
00:01:51,041 --> 00:01:52,976
are really making any progress.

61
00:01:52,976 --> 00:01:54,845
I think it is important that

62
00:01:54,845 --> 00:01:55,879
president Biden is able to

63
00:01:55,879 --> 00:01:56,980
highlight what he has done.

64
00:01:56,980 --> 00:01:58,782
More importantly to connect

65
00:01:58,782 --> 00:02:00,050
with Latino voters on those key

66
00:02:00,050 --> 00:02:02,086
issues of jobs, inflation, the

67
00:02:02,086 --> 00:02:03,987
economy, what the democratic

68
00:02:03,987 --> 00:02:05,022
party and what his campaign

69
00:02:05,022 --> 00:02:05,989
will do over the next four

70
00:02:05,989 --> 00:02:06,690
years.

71
00:02:06,690 --> 00:02:07,991
Don't take them for granted.

72
00:02:07,991 --> 00:02:09,593
They are leaning --

73
00:02:09,593 --> 00:02:10,894
especially Latino males, are

74
00:02:10,894 --> 00:02:12,062
leaning towards the Republican

75
00:02:12,062 --> 00:02:13,831
party on issues like law

76
00:02:13,831 --> 00:02:14,598
enforcement and the military.

77
00:02:14,598 --> 00:02:17,101
>> That is really fascinating

78
00:02:17,101 --> 00:02:18,535
to me, Domingo.

79
00:02:18,535 --> 00:02:20,037
Because of the rhetoric from

80
00:02:20,037 --> 00:02:21,004
Donald Trump.

81
00:02:21,004 --> 00:02:22,840
He has improved his standing

82
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,943
with the chino voters from 2016

83
00:02:25,943 --> 00:02:27,544
all over the map.

84
00:02:27,544 --> 00:02:29,847
And in different sub sex of the

85
00:02:29,847 --> 00:02:30,547
Latino demographic.

86
00:02:30,547 --> 00:02:32,950
Recently he was talking about

87
00:02:32,950 --> 00:02:34,752
the blood of the country being

88
00:02:34,752 --> 00:02:36,520
poisoned by immigrants.

89
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,823
How do you square that

90
00:02:39,823 --> 00:02:40,958
disparity between the rhetoric

91
00:02:40,958 --> 00:02:43,060
against immigrants and growing

92
00:02:43,060 --> 00:02:46,530
support for trump among Latinos?

93
00:02:46,530 --> 00:02:48,866
>> It is important that we not

94
00:02:48,866 --> 00:02:50,868
let trump get away with it or

95
00:02:50,868 --> 00:02:52,503
any other politician when they

96
00:02:52,503 --> 00:02:54,772
start playing the fearmongering

97
00:02:54,772 --> 00:02:55,973
game, the scapegoating, the

98
00:02:55,973 --> 00:02:56,974
fear of the other.

99
00:02:56,974 --> 00:02:58,075
Which, unfortunately, it

100
00:02:58,075 --> 00:02:59,176
appears that is primarily what

101
00:02:59,176 --> 00:03:01,512
the trump campaign is doing.

102
00:03:01,512 --> 00:03:03,781
I think a lot of Latino voters

103
00:03:03,781 --> 00:03:06,750
are concerned about immigration,

104
00:03:06,750 --> 00:03:07,518
especially those Latinos along

105
00:03:07,518 --> 00:03:09,520
the border area.

106
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,521
I have been to eagle pass and

107
00:03:10,521 --> 00:03:10,687
El Paso.

108
00:03:10,687 --> 00:03:12,890
They want something to be

109
00:03:12,890 --> 00:03:15,092
legally established, and

110
00:03:15,092 --> 00:03:17,094
orderly procession as opposed

111
00:03:17,094 --> 00:03:17,895
to some of the chaos we are

112
00:03:17,895 --> 00:03:19,797
seeing now as well as

113
00:03:19,797 --> 00:03:20,531
assistance.

114
00:03:20,531 --> 00:03:21,532
That is one of the things where

115
00:03:21,532 --> 00:03:23,200
there is a disconnect between

116
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,802
what is happening in Washington

117
00:03:24,802 --> 00:03:25,869
and what is happening in the

118
00:03:25,869 --> 00:03:27,538
Barrios and the homes of people

119
00:03:27,538 --> 00:03:31,742
in the border areas as well as

120
00:03:31,742 --> 00:03:32,543
subsets of the tear knows.

121
00:03:32,543 --> 00:03:34,545
>> One last question.

122
00:03:34,545 --> 00:03:37,114
Latinos are the fastest growing

123
00:03:37,114 --> 00:03:38,549
voting bloc in the country.

124
00:03:38,549 --> 00:03:39,950
Consistently they have the

125
00:03:39,950 --> 00:03:41,819
lowest numbers among ethnic

126
00:03:41,819 --> 00:03:43,854
groups for registration and

127
00:03:43,854 --> 00:03:44,555
turnout.

128
00:03:44,555 --> 00:03:44,955
Why do you think that is?

129
00:03:44,955 --> 00:03:46,957
How does that get fixed?

130
00:03:46,957 --> 00:03:50,828
>> There has not been an effort

131
00:03:50,828 --> 00:03:52,062
by Democrats, or Republicans,

132
00:03:52,062 --> 00:03:53,864
to really investigate in the

133
00:03:53,864 --> 00:03:54,665
Latino vote.

134
00:03:54,665 --> 00:03:56,066
Demographics are trending that

135
00:03:56,066 --> 00:03:56,633
way.

136
00:03:56,633 --> 00:03:58,936
That rollout, that way if you

137
00:03:58,936 --> 00:04:01,038
see slowly lapping higher and

138
00:04:01,038 --> 00:04:01,572
higher.

139
00:04:01,572 --> 00:04:02,840
Even though the numbers are

140
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,941
still down compared to other

141
00:04:03,941 --> 00:04:05,876
ethnic groups, the numbers are

142
00:04:05,876 --> 00:04:08,879
increasing in key battle

143
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:09,580
states.

144
00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:11,014
Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin.

145
00:04:11,014 --> 00:04:13,817
The Latino vote can make a

146
00:04:13,817 --> 00:04:14,585
difference.

147
00:04:14,585 --> 00:04:15,652
>> Domingo Garcia, we very much
