It's good to have basis, but what are you really trying to get?
A curious mind, an engineering mind, a creative mind, a thoughtful mind, and teach individuals agency in a world where they have infinite capacity.
That's what AI gives all of us.
But what do you think of Donald Trump?
Rate Governor Newsom and the job he's done as governor of California.
Governor Newsom's put out a lot of these memes kind of making fun of Donald Trump by doing tweets sort of like the way Trump does truth social posts and so on.
It's very antagonistic to the president, at least publicly antagonistic.
At the same time, California relies on federal funding and requires a lot of federal cooperation, a lot of federal land in the state.
How would you interact with President Trump and talk a little bit about how the governor has interacted with President Trump publicly?
And as it relates to ICE and immigration enforcement, do you consider undocumented immigrants in the state of California individuals that you would represent as governor?
Is it part of your job to protect undocumented immigrants who came here illegally but ICE would like to remove?
Let me give you the pushback that the Republican Party leadership would give, which is that many of these individuals will end up voting for Democrats, vast majority of them will vote for Democrats, and that the border was opened, they were allowed in here, and now this inevitable, due to humanitarian conditions, path forward to citizenship
will ultimately increase the Democratic Party's voting base and lock them into power in DC, lock them into power in these states, turn more states blue, et cetera.
How do you respond to that concern and pushback?
Put the humanitarian piece aside.
The reason the border, and every Democrat I ask about this cannot answer the question, why was the border opened?
Was it to lower labor costs?
Was there some other reason that we did it?
Was it to increase the voting base?
I mean, what was the motivation and how do we address the response that's gonna come for the many years ahead?
