let's go through california. for a lot of people who have been annoyed that new hampshire and iowa have to pumuch power. asian americans are 15 .2 %. african americans are 6.5%. native american and alaska are 1.6%. it's a diverse state. in that sense, what -- how does that change the dynamic for that primary? >> what it does is makes you has a candidate if you're running in 2020, the 50 million people running, they have an opportunity to demonstrate i can connect with different types of people early on. they don't have to say i have to show it in nevada or south carolina. they say i can speak to latinos and central americans and immigrants. it's an opportunity to show what you have early on. the problem is it's really expensive. if you have any money to do so. the money will dry up faster. now that california is part of super tuesday, if you don't win one of the first three states, the spigot is over and you can't go to hollywood. >> it could be over by march third. this is march third. this is super tuesday. ala

i think we mirror a lot of southern california. we are becoming a cancer community now, suburbanization is getting way more to urban land uses as the population continues to grow so when we look out downtown, we're seeing a lot more loft and apartment developments coming in. multi story things which you would not have seen here very regularly back in the day, so we're seeing a lot of that. there's a younger population coming into. apparently we are one of the big attractions for the millennial crowd out here . so we're getting a lot more land-use and businesses that cater to that demographic to, but we're seeing more urban land uses come into even a suburban setting. >> i hope you walk away with a sense of what it was like and what the people were like who came out here when this was pretty much a barren plane as was described then and were able to set up a town, set up other towns, build a railroad to bring people out here and what they had to do to do that. we think people back then were tougher and in a lot of ways, they were. t

the blue wave was a stunning clean sweep across california. all the targeted swing districts democrats. >>mpwe can thank president t for lot of it. the republican party in california is on life support in part because they clung to president trump like -- and then after that, you had a whole bunch of issues that brought out al voters, suburban women, wum younger voters allame out for the democrats in all of of these districts. that made the dference. at least get out the voor the democratic party is especially strong. >> they took advantage off a new la that allows campaign workers to pick up ballots and deliver them. >> they have that going on. it was called ballot harvesting. the democrats saw it as a get out the vte and a way to deliver those ballots. you've got 2/3 are voting by mail. and they figured how to efficiently deliver those ballot republicans are saying that and maybe oter techniques like same-day registration, like long -- early voting. the fact is isalked to the retary of state. he said they may call it cheating. we democracy r

the california minimum wage is going up with the new year. businesses with more than 25 employees will now pay 12-dollars-an hour.that is up by 1-dollar from the current 11-dollars an hour. businesses with 25 or fewer employees will pay 11-dollars an hour.that is up by fifty cents from the current $10.50. most bay area cities already have higher minimum wages. on jan., san jose, san mateo, and several other cities will boost their minimum to 15-dollars ... and in mountain view it will increase to $15.65. happening tomorrow ... drivers with "clean air" vehicle stickers will no longer be allowed to drive in the car pool lane when they are alone without passengers. it was a perk for people who bought electric and hybrid vehicles. but state officials say all those cars are starting to clog up the commuter lanes and their time is up on january 1st. but there are some exceptions to the new law. vehicles that were issued a green or white decal between january 1st 2017 and march 1st of this year are eligible to apply for a 'red' decal that grants acc

a lot of the california border actually has fencing on it. so the key here is, what we have been trying to do in congress and with the president has been trying to do, i think a very logical solution which is, let's take the areas that we have some fencing which isn't quite working, let's build a wall, one that actually works, and those populated areas and let's make sure we get those secure, first. and those other areas you may not need a wall or fencing. at the same time the president was very reasonable and was able to solve the daca problem. we had a vote in congress where republicans voted to build a wall and reform daca, take care of the kids through no part of their own. we didn't get one democratic vote. every democrat in the state of california voted against this law. those are for the young people who live here that would have been made legal, but for some reason, people here in california and i think all over the country don't realize, a sensible solution was put on the table. border security put in for daca, a permit system for pe

effectively, it makes california a sanctuary state where it is against the law now in california for a state law enforcement official to even communicate with federal immigration task force, task forces and also federal immigration officials. so first of all, the death of officer singh is completely preventable and this is going to happen again and again. under the supremacy clause of the united states constitution, you cannot have a state government actively -- subvert federal law. in the past were demonstrations of done when they have been problematic state laws, they attached pursestrings and other incentives for states to cooperate. this law was passed on completely partisan lines, 27 Ã 12 for the democrats and let's see how long it remains in effect. let's see if it is even constitutional. i see a lot of legal challenges, a lot of legal problems with the law. i don't think this is going to catch, this will not be a trend and i hope it won't be. >> we are going to talk a lot more about this subject coming up. thank you very much for a good discussion. much money as she coming up

democrats are not just winning nearly all the elections in california, california democrats have become the tip of the spear for the resistance against donald trump and his administration. right now california has 44 active lawsuits pending against everything from the affordable care act to protections for dreamers to environmental regulations. california's governor-elect gavin newsom has been outspoken in his criticism of the president, calling the threat to shutdown the border quote irresponsible, irrational and absurd. and now they've taken it one step further. california has moved up its presidential primary. lately voters in california have held their primary elections in june. they're one of the last states to vote in a presidential primary leaving cali voters often to feel like an aforethought. but not anymore. they've moved it up officially to march 3rd which means california begins early voting at the same time of other traditional states will also be voting. now, this is huge deal for california. it means that presidential candidates will have to decide whether they want to tr
