I'm Maria no Hoosa. Last week, the 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 3: first Latina and the very first Chigana to represent Arizona 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 3: in Congress was sworn into office. Congratulations, you're now a 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 3: member of Attack to cover. She received roaring applause and 16 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 3: a standing ovation on the House floor, something that frankly 17 00:00:59,000 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 3: doesn't happen that. 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 4: And while we celebrate this moment today, our American promise 19 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 4: is under serious threat. Basic freedoms are under attack, healthcare 20 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 4: premiums are skyrocketing. Babies are being ripped away from their 21 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 4: parents by massed agents. 22 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: We can and must do better. 23 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 3: Democrat Addita gri Helba handily won a special election in 24 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: September to represent Arizona's seventh congressional district, but her journey 25 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 3: to Capitol Hill since that victory has been anything but easy. 26 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 3: Understatement of the year. For more than seven weeks, Republican 27 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 3: House Speaker Mike Johnson delayed grijalbas swearing in, leaving more 28 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 3: than eight hundred thousand constituents without a representative in Congress. 29 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 3: During the nation's longest government shut down in history. September 30 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 3: twenty third, adelite To Grihova won a special election to 31 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 3: fill the seed vacated by the death of her late father. 32 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: She's still not a member. 33 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: Of the House right now. There's a friend mind the 34 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: just gylected in southern Arizona, and she would be a 35 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: two hundred and eighteenth vote to release the Epstein list. 36 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: And it really calls into question whether this is an 37 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: erosion of norms of some sort, because it is unusual. 38 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 3: Today we are going to get to know Congresswoman Adelitea Griba. 39 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: We're going to talk about the vote to release the 40 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 3: Epstein files, the challenges that she and Democrats face ahead, 41 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 3: and what it means to be succeeding her late dad, 42 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 3: Raul Grijalba, a beloved member of Congress who served more 43 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 3: than twenty years Representative Grijalba. Welcome to Latino, USA, Bi Benita. 44 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: Oh, thank you Michelle and asci Us. Thanks for having me. 45 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, your dad was on the show, as you know, 46 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 3: I mean, that's how I met him. 47 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: Of course he was. He was accessible all the time. 48 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 3: And for journalists it was actually really refreshing. But you know, 49 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 3: one of the questions that I never asked your dad 50 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: the many times that I interviewed him, Raoul s No, 51 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: simply Raoul, why did you name your daughter Adelita? Because 52 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 3: I delite that to me, as a Mexican woman is 53 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 3: an immediate image, right, it is the sorta das it 54 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 3: is the women who fought in the Mexican Revolution with 55 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 3: the bandoliers across their chest. So why did they name 56 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 3: their daughter Adelita? What's the story? 57 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I was supposed to be Raoul Junior. Everyone 58 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 4: thought I was. I was a boy, and then lucky them, 59 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 4: I came out and there was no name because it 60 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 4: was just gonna be Raul. So they tried a bunch 61 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 4: of names, and my mom is from New Mexico and 62 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 4: her mom's name was Shirley. 63 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: My grandma's name is Shirley. 64 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 4: So my mom was getting a lot of pressure to 65 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 4: name me Shirley, and my dad, you know, all involved 66 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 4: in the movie Miento and Chicano powers like our daughter 67 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 4: cannot be named Shirley, and so my dad initially wanted 68 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 4: to name me Sochil and my mom's that most of 69 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 4: my family won't know how to spell that, let alone 70 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 4: pronounce it. Let's find something else. And then I was 71 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: going to go nameless. I was going home as baby 72 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 4: girl Grijalva, and my dad was in the car listening 73 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 4: to the radio and the song si Adelita came on. 74 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 4: So that's my name, and it was drilled into me 75 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 4: from the time I was little. You don't let anyone 76 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 4: change it. You make them say it correctly. My name 77 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 4: is Adelita Shirley Grijalva. 78 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 3: When you think about it, it is pretty incredible that 79 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 3: there is an Adelita in the US Congress. 80 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: It's been surreal. 81 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 4: I try not to think too much, too deep about it, 82 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 4: because you know, my learning curve is really steep. My 83 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 4: dad served in Congress for twenty two years. But I 84 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 4: never interned on the hill. I was never a staffer. 85 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,119 Speaker 4: I've never done any of those things. So when people 86 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 4: make this assumption like, oh, well, you know because your 87 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 4: dad was here. Both if my dad were a pilot, 88 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 4: you wouldn't stick me in a cockpit and saying go. 89 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: But in a special that's what we do. 90 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: Well. I think there's also the reality of how you 91 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 3: came into Congress as it were, representatively Haba, because most 92 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: first time members of Congress, I mean, they don't really 93 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: make a big splash run then get sworn in. But frankly, 94 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: many people were watching what was happening with whether or 95 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 3: not Congress was going to be capable of swearing you in. 96 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 3: The criticism has been that the Speaker of the House 97 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 3: refused to swear you in because you would be the 98 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: decisive vote on whether or not on the Democrat side 99 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 3: on whether or not to release the Epstein files. I mean, 100 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 3: how do you see it? Your right do process, legitimacy, 101 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 3: all of. 102 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 4: The above, Yeah, and also the fact that over eight 103 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 4: hundred thousand people in southern Arizona didn't have a representative. 104 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 4: You know, my dad passed away in March. Literally, I 105 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 4: couldn't do anything. Some of our staff just got a 106 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 4: house email last Friday, So we are really behind the 107 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 4: eight ball and being able to provide services. And for 108 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 4: one person to be able not to deny us the 109 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 4: ability to be able to serve our community, it was 110 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 4: just it was unconscionable. 111 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: And for him to say, well, she could do her job. 112 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 3: She can be. 113 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: Working for her constituents. She has hard staff. 114 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: I've noticed they keep doing stunt videos outside of her office, 115 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 2: knocking on the door and pretending it's closed. 116 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: It shouldn't be. 117 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 2: She should be in there taking calls from her constituents 118 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: and doing her job. 119 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 4: It's just so misogynistic and so degrading to people, and 120 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 4: everyone saw it. I mean, I can't tell you how 121 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 4: many people. I've been in the airport in Dallas and 122 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 4: a guy came up to me and said, are you 123 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 4: that member of Congress they wouldn't swear in. I said yes, sir, 124 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 4: and he said, you know, I'm a Republican, and I 125 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 4: thought that was horrible. 126 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, thank you. 127 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 4: So across the board, people are like, that is not okay, 128 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 4: and so we have to we're drafting legislation right now 129 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 4: to make sure that this doesn't happen to another person again, 130 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,559 Speaker 4: regardless of party. 131 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 3: Do you call this an anti democratic act what Speaker 132 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 3: Johnson did? 133 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 4: Oh? Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, you know. And the scary thing 134 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 4: for me and what we should all be concerned about, 135 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 4: is it doesn't matter. 136 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: As a speaker. 137 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 4: You were the speaker of the House, not just of 138 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 4: Democrats or Republicans, you're of everybody, independence, everyone. So your 139 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 4: job literally is to swear people in like expeditiously. And 140 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 4: when he said, well, we're in a shutdown and that's 141 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 4: why we didn't get sworn in, I was sworn. I 142 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 4: was elected five days before the shutdown. So there goes 143 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 4: that idea. And then well, you know, we don't swear 144 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 4: people in a pro forma. Oh except for the two 145 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 4: Republicans you sworn in April, you did that, right, And 146 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 4: then you know Representative Walkinshaw, the Democrat, and that was 147 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 4: the last you know, on September ninth, I believe, is 148 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 4: the date that he was elected and sworn in the 149 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 4: next day. So the precedent of this speaker was to 150 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 4: square people in under twenty four hours the last three 151 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 4: times he had the opportunity to do it. And for me, 152 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 4: fifty days of waiting and then like the condescension and 153 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 4: just you know, the bless her heart comments. It was 154 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 4: went right after I was sworn in and I was 155 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 4: taken to go take that like really, you know the 156 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 4: picture that you take on the Bible all that he 157 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 4: said to me, Well, you know that wasn't None of 158 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 4: this was personal. She felt personal. 159 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: Wow, when you're. 160 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 4: Talking specifically, right, when you're talking specifically to me? 161 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: And I said, and this should never happen again, ever 162 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: to anyone. 163 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: I mean that also sounds like such for any woman, 164 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 3: if a man who's been treating you in a disrespectful way, 165 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 3: it would just be like, it's not personal. Is so condescending? 166 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: Yep. 167 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 4: And I reminded him that it was very personal. It 168 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 4: was very personal to me and the eight hundred thousand 169 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 4: people that couldn't get help. 170 00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: It's very personal to us. 171 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. So your very first act in Congress was, in fact, 172 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: to sign the Epstein Files Discharge petition. Finally, last week, 173 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 3: Trump signed a bill ordering the release of the investigative files. 174 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 3: So this ultimately did end up having overwhelming bipartisan support. 175 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 3: Those words don't even come out of our mouths anymore anymore. 176 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 3: As political journalists I'm wondering, why do you think that 177 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 3: this has become such a galvanizing issue. 178 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 4: So I think this resonated with a lot of people 179 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 4: because Trump made the promise when he was running for 180 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 4: office on day one. 181 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: I will release the Epstein files. 182 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be inclined to do the Epstein. I have 183 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 3: no problem with it. 184 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 4: And here we are well into November and he didn't 185 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 4: release the files until pushed to do so by a 186 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 4: discharge petition from the House and then signed in overwhelmingly 187 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 4: by the Senate. And I believe that Trump heard from many, 188 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 4: many people that are supportive of him to say, I 189 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 4: don't have a toy, I have to vote in favor, 190 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 4: and so then he endorsed it. 191 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: But he didn't have a change of heart. 192 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 4: So what I'm worried about is now he can say, well, 193 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 4: we're going to release what we can and what does 194 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 4: that mean? Who knows? And fortunately, there are enough people 195 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 4: that have had a look at these files that objectively 196 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 4: can say, you know, there's a lot more information that's 197 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 4: not out there. Even the twenty three thousand pages that 198 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 4: were released the day of my swearing in. That's like 199 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 4: a tiny little tip of the iceberg. Of what's there, 200 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 4: and for so many vulnerable people, this administration has literally 201 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 4: done everything they can to silence. And so the connection 202 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 4: I believe with the Latino community is what ICE is 203 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 4: doing in our communities in trying to you know, people 204 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 4: are afraid to speak in their home depot because they're 205 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 4: waiting for someone to come out of the woodwork and 206 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 4: take them in, because you know, they suspect that they 207 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 4: might not be here legally. If you drive a work 208 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 4: truck like my father in law used to, he would 209 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 4: have been pulled over easily. And so we in our 210 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 4: communities and mine specifically, you know, we see border patrol 211 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 4: in our communities in a way that we've never seen before, 212 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 4: militarized and empowered to treat people inhumanely like we've never 213 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 4: seen before. And I genuinely worried about what's going to 214 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 4: happen next year when their budget is twenty times what 215 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 4: it is today. 216 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,239 Speaker 3: You are the firstborn, the eldest. You are the granddaughter 217 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 3: of Avrassiro. Also, of course the daughter of a member 218 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 3: of Congress. Interestingly, your dad had super progressive I mean 219 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 3: right now, super left politics, right, So I'm wondering now 220 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 3: that you're in Congress. How much has he helped to 221 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 3: shape your political views? That weighs on you a lot. 222 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: Oh, completely, totally. 223 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 4: Our political views are the same, I mean, all the 224 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 4: values are the same. I am proudly his daughter. And 225 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 4: it was really interesting because we don't talk politics at 226 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 4: home for the most part, I mean talk about school 227 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 4: and that kind of stuff. And then once I had kids, 228 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 4: every conversation was abound the grandkids, the grand babies as 229 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 4: he called them, So in our household, you know, I 230 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 4: learned a lot about my dad's politics. In school, I 231 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 4: took a Mexican American studies class, and my dad was 232 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 4: literally in the textbooks. And I think about that now 233 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 4: because sometimes I do things and I have to purposefully 234 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 4: make a point of going and talk to my kids 235 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 4: about what I did that day and why I did 236 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 4: it or why I voted a certain way, because I 237 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 4: want them to understand it. Because if we think about 238 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 4: how much we talk, like in our professional life, as 239 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 4: our job. When my dad got home, he did a 240 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 4: lot of listening. He would sit with my kids for 241 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 4: hours and my son is you know, likes to write plays, 242 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 4: and he talked to my dad for like two hours 243 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 4: about this play. Idea and he would just sit there. 244 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 4: Because my dad was had an interest in so many 245 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 4: things that there wasn't. 246 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: A lot of talking at home. I love that, which I. 247 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 4: Know surprises a lot of people because he talks so 248 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 4: much at work. 249 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 3: But I kind of I mean, honestly, it's kind of like, Maria, 250 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 3: you need to do more listening in your home and 251 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 3: less talking. Right coming up on letting know USA, did 252 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 3: you talk to your dad about you running for his seat? 253 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I said no. 254 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 4: Several times he was asking you like that you have 255 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 4: you were going to run, right, And I was like, 256 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 4: I really don't want to, Dad, I'm happy. 257 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 3: Stay with us. Yes, hey, we're back. Before the break, 258 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 3: I was speaking with Arizona Congresswoman Adelita about her late father, 259 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 3: Congressman Ra We're gonna get back to our conversation now. 260 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 3: I'm sure Adelita that you are feeling a lot of 261 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 3: lessons from your puppy.

And it 264 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 3: was only in March from lung cancer. For us on 265 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 3: the outside, it felt quite sudden, and so it was sudden. 266 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 3: So how are you processing. 267 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 4: I'm Cynthia every day, like you know, you could see 268 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 4: it here every day. 269 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 3: Oh sweeting. 270 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think about them all the time. 271 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 4: And uh, I think the holidays are going to be rough, 272 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 4: and I feel like people don't remember that. 273 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: I'm in mourning too. 274 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, and so I feel you know, what was told 275 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 4: to me early on is that tears are liquid prayers 276 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 4: and you should just let them go.

He had these very progressive values, 327 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 3: and you say you identify one hundred percent with those values. 328 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 3: But you know, from the outside, I think many voters 329 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 3: are quite confused about what the Democratic Party stands for. 330 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 3: You have a situation where a very popular candidate for 331 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 3: mayor in New York City, an immigrant himself, Zoran Mamdani, 332 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 3: wins overwhelmingly a very important Latino vote, and yet Chuck Schumer, 333 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 3: you know, wouldn't, did not endorse, and yet he goes 334 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 3: to the White House and is welcomed by Donald Trump 335 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 3: in this strange fawning. 336 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: So you're in a multiverse that's so weird right. 337 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 3: Now, a strange multiverse, and your part, as you said, 338 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 3: it's just very surreal. I want to know what you 339 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 3: believe that the Democratic Party needs to stand for now. 340 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 3: And I know you're a new member of Congress, but 341 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 3: you do have some power. What will you do in 342 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 3: terms of trying to achieve the goals that you believe 343 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 3: the Democratic Party should begin to stand for. 344 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 4: Clearly, I think that the Democratic Party needs to move 345 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 4: to a progressive agenda, a working famili's agenda. And I 346 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 4: believe that Trump was successful with some working people because 347 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 4: he talked about like down to the minutia of the 348 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 4: price of eggs. Now we all see that his policies 349 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 4: are only going to continue to hurt our economy and 350 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 4: working people, and a lot of people have buyer's remorse 351 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 4: now They're like, well, that's not what I elected him 352 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 4: to do. He said he was going to do this 353 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 4: and he's not doing that. Okay, Well, as we get 354 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 4: closer to the midterms, more and more people are going 355 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 4: to be looking at that. 356 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: But this idea that we have to be watered down, 357 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: that we. 358 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 4: Can't push progressive policies because and communities are not going 359 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 4: to support that is wrong. 360 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 1: And I had a conversation. I'm in Nogttlis right now. 361 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 4: We just went to a senior center and went to 362 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 4: the food bank and trying to better understand on the 363 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 4: ground what the federal cuts and how they're impacting local communities. 364 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 4: And so I was talking to someone who said, I'm 365 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 4: not as left as you are, and I said, so, 366 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 4: tell me what are the issues that are important to you, 367 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 4: And then we start talking. 368 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: I said, those are all progressive issues. They are. 369 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 4: Do you care about public education? Well, yeah, I have grandkids. 370 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 4: I'm like, of course, I said, do you care about healthcare? Yes, 371 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 4: when they cut that, it's going to hurt me. I said, 372 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 4: what about this program here? And that Trump on the 373 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 4: chopping block is funds for this program. He's like, well, 374 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 4: that's not right. I'm like correct, I said, So we 375 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 4: have to push progressive policy agendas that are going to 376 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 4: help the vast majority of people and force billionaires and 377 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 4: millionaires to pay their fair share. That's how we can 378 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 4: afford it. But Trump's priority are his billionaire buddies. He 379 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 4: doesn't care about us, he doesn't care about working people. 380 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 4: And we have to push an agenda that is going 381 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 4: to resonate that way, because there is so much we 382 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 4: can do if we get together. But Democrats being a 383 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 4: watered down version or a moderate version of Republicans is 384 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 4: not going to cut it for the American people, not 385 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 4: the people that I've been talking to. 386 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 3: Stay with us, not yes, hey, we're back. And let's 387 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 3: wrap up my conversation with the newly sworn in Member 388 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 3: of Congress, Democrat Adelita Grichalba of Arizona. The issue of Gaza. You, 389 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 3: in fact, you were recommended by care the Council on 390 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 3: American Islamic Relations. They endorsed you because of the fact 391 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 3: that you refer to what's happened in Gaza as a genocide, 392 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 3: and yet many of your Democratic colleagues are all so 393 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 3: staying away, staying silent. So what do you say in 394 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 3: terms of this particular issue. If it's a genocide, then 395 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 3: there's what are people waiting for? 396 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 4: Essentially, well, the Human Rights Council has declared it a genocide. 397 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 4: I didn't call it that objectively, people who analyze what's 398 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 4: happening called it a genocide, and so I think that 399 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,959 Speaker 4: it's more important for us to stand with innocent people 400 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 4: and protect people. I mean, when you see children being 401 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 4: shot at because they're going to get food, how do 402 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 4: you sit by? 403 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: How do you not have an opinion? 404 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 4: And respectfully, it's not an anti Semitic issue, and that's 405 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 4: part of the problem is it's like, you know, if 406 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 4: you're against the government of Israel, that doesn't make you 407 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 4: anti Semitic and against the Jewish people. It makes you 408 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 4: against the government, and that is a patriotic thing to do. 409 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 4: I am against Trump's agenda and administration point blank period. 410 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 4: That does it make me anti American? And so I 411 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 4: don't understand why we cannot be in support of people 412 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 4: and protecting people and pity against each other. I do 413 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 4: think that some of it has to do with the 414 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 4: money that comes in and is at play, specifically at 415 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 4: the congressional level, and that's why I am so supportive 416 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 4: of end Citizens United in those policies, because we have 417 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 4: to get big money out of our politics. It is 418 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 4: just so entrenched in it that we are hamstrung as 419 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 4: legislators and elected officials and doing things that we need 420 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 4: to do and positions that we need to take and 421 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 4: humanitarian issues, safety issues, because we have so many lobbyists 422 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 4: that are pushing an agenda that the vast majority of 423 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 4: American people don't agree with. 424 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 3: I mean, it seems frankly, I they that you are 425 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 3: coming in ready to shake as much as you can 426 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 3: up in the Hall of Congress while raising three kids, 427 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 3: mind you, and traveling between Washington, DC and Tucson. I'm 428 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 3: frightened already. But we do know Osa we are capable 429 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 3: of doing many things and and and feel often unstoppable. 430 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 3: So the last question is actually a real softball. Mmm. 431 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 3: So what's gonna be the most Arizonian, Mexican American Tucson 432 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 3: staple that's gonna be on your Thanksgiving dinner table?
