Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What a Raman Win Could Mean for L.A.
Q: What do you think that result is going to hold? And what do you think that says about the California electorate in 2026?
Mitchell expects the billionaire tax measure's result to improve as more ballots are counted but does not expect it to pass. He argues the campaign lacked a strong coalition and was poorly constructed, damaging support for the proposal.
What a Raman Win Could Mean for L.A.
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about turnout in LA and California more broadly? How does it look compared to prior cycles, high or low?
Mitchell says turnout was already higher than at the same point in 2022, with a substantial increase in younger Latino voters, especially in lower-income areas with historically low turnout.
Who Will Be L.A.’s Next Mayor?
Q: What are the chances we're going to know on election night who the winner is?
Mitchell expects many ballots to remain uncounted, so official sources may not call the race that night, though political observers may infer a likely winner from the ballots still outstanding.
Who Will Be L.A.’s Next Mayor?
Q: Are there any interesting trends that you're noticing so far?
Mitchell notes Latino turnout is modestly above historic levels and says it could reflect opposition to the Trump administration or excitement about the possibility of California electing its first Latino governor.
Is the Dodgers Dynasty Over?
Q: Who is Dodger Nation?
Núñez characterizes the fan base as deeply rooted in suburban communities such as Whittier and Bellflower, and says Latino fans have long remained committed to the team.
