the latinos will become the majority in this country. we will not be here, brian, but in 100 years from now, the latinos will be the majority. it is changing everything, from the way we talk to the way we dance to the way we eat to the way we do politics. without the latino vote, no one can make it to the white house, so everything has been changed. >> i counted about 64 affiliates. is that number close? >> owned and operated, less than that. >> how many people watch you at 6:30? >> over 2 million people. we are the fifth largest network in the united states, and people do not realize that, and in the mornings, sunday mornings, maybe about 1 million people. >> there was a time when another person ran univision, and several people have run it. who owns it now? >> it is a new group. it is in charge. there is a group of investors who trust in us, and i think they believe in us. we are going to keep on going. what is so interesting is that while the networks constantly complain about their declining ratings, we are going exactly the opposite

, it would be the man fighting for latino rights of is live. >> the you know him? yes, i know him. he has been a mentor to me and to many latinos in this country. because of them, we remember that we latinos are a part of this country, but at the same time, we can maintain a certain elements of our latino culture. >> and the final name is henry. >> not only have i worked with him, but let me say that i am completely convinced that the first hispanic president has been born. it is simply a matter of months. there are no are latinos and african-americans. i think we should have our first president. having said that, henry was the first person we all thought was going to be the first hispanic president of the united states, and he has been fighting for rights and opening up possibilities. he is probably the first politician to open up the possibility of having a hispanic president. >> he was the mayor of san antonio. what happened? he just did not continue in politics. >> he had to admit to having a mistress and all of that. is that fair that he has to step aside? >>

there's new rule in politics in the united states. without latino vote no one can make it to the white house. everything has been changed. >> i counted under the affiliates about 64. is that number close across the country? >> own and operated, less than that but operates probably the right number. >> how many people watch you at 6:30 a night? >> it's over 2,000,000 people. easily. we're the fifth largest network in the united states. people don't realize that. in the mornings, on sunday, maybe a million people. new through there was a time when several people owned it. who owns it now? >> it's a new group. it's in charge of the group. and there's a group of in voss or thes that trusted us and i think they believe in us and the hispanic community and they believe that we're going to keep on growing. what's so interesting is while the networks constantly complain about the declining ratings, we're going exactly the opposite way. now with the world cup. we have a game recently. it was mexico playing against worldwide and more than 9 million people tun

the latino vote has been increasing. yes, we have worked with the leadership conference, out with african american voters -- worked with african american voters, and their attitudes. i did not bring this out in the sample because we did not treat this population overall. we have repeatedly sampled african americans. i think one of the reasons that we talk about the latino vote in arizona, the latino vote is significantly greater than the african-american vote. in michigan, it is the reverse. it depends very much on what state you are looking at. the numbers were not that distinct in the data, so i did not break it out. >> sanctuary cities? >> i think it is a good point. there are a lot of differences. i would just say very generally, i can see a difference between localities, saying they are not going to use these resources, these resources to help enforce federal immigration policy in the entire state and enforcing policy by mandating law enforcement officers carry out their duties in a way that prioritizes federal prior

[applause] >> we have the general counsel of irel

what's making it seem split that evenly is because the latinos overwhelmingly, 71%, disapprove of it. of that 71% about 63%, 64% strongly disapprove. so in a way you could say this is an example of the power of the ethnic vote because the latino vote is actually skewing the california numbers in a certain direction. but mark decamilo, who's the director of the field polls, he was telling me that it also means that in a couple of years we might see an arizona-like immigration measure on the california ballot, and that is probably going to prove very polarizing and divisive. and at the same time they've also found that people's views on immigration are changing in the state. the polls indicate this on arizona, but if you -- the field poll has been querying people about illegal immigration since '82. and back in '82 they found i think about 38% of people here felt that people who were here illegally were doing jobs other californians didn't want to do. that number has actually risen now to 58%. so it's a much more complicated -- there's no black-and-white answer here. it's a much more so

cancer intercommunity it's the no. 1 cancer killer of latinos. really key to understand the genetics and the environment. when the people who's come this sister studied which recruited 50,000 plus women from around the country. a huge sample. a huge sample for the sisters of breast cancer we were very engaged in trying to help them recruit some of those women. one of the thing what they're doing is looking to give blood, urine the taken ill and toenail clippings they ask them to complete questionnaires and they do to our follow-up telephone interview and one of the issues as you can see that makes it more difficult is that 32 percent of the latinos are originally recruited still have fallen out of compliance. when they start to compare and contrast with their coming up with this insurance or the studies is that there is huge implication for not knowing how latinas if are impacted. you can't compare to black-and-white to you can see similarities in our what of the differences have can we target research to target those differences. an interesting t

this is a man who once got a 60% of the latino vote. and a member of the congressional districts are dependent on the latino vote, but there is also a sense that they are legitimately at ground zero on this conversation. nobody bracketed this conversation better than jenna nepitano. it is a very difficult conversation to bracket. elected officials in arizona have taken a stand against the federal government suing them. when this will be a vy hot issue in that state. california and other places, this is already emerging, including in the gubernatorial debate. and you have an immigration fight as you had with the governor before pete wilson where he alone made it -- where he alienated for generations of latino voters -- four generations of latino voters. this is someone who had gotten quite a bit of the latino vote before he alienated people. [coughs] sorry. i think this will play out in terms of the latino community, and whether we are able to get latino voters out -- i think many will say that if there is no action on this issue i will s

look at the latino unemployment rate. it's higher than the white rate. s higher than latino rate. to suggest that there are not disparities that affect the latino community and affect the native american community and the african-american community, we need to have the discussion jim webb wants to have with facts. real facts that give a picture of how life is. >> 41 cents of every dollar this government spends in fiscal 2010 goes to pay debt of borrowed money. 41 cents of every dollar. we have a $3.5 trillion 2010 budget. let's look at that 34 billion for extension. these people need help. but to think that this administration and in timothy geithner's interview he talks about getting fiscal house in order in a $3.5 trillion budget they can't come up with a way to offset 40 billion in spending. at the end game in the country is broke, everybody loses. >> we'll take break here. there aren't many of us who use a cellphone just to make phone calls. but when at&t or verizon offer you an unlimited plan for $69.99, that's all it's good for -- phone calls. with

it is almost like a both parties looked at the latino politics of the 1960's and a 1970's. they are using the same old lines and the same mantra. host: our guest has worked on capitol hill and the white house. she has written books on the state of the republican party and you can log onto res urgentrepublic.com. steve joins us from phoenix. good morning to you. caller: good morning. how are you? dovetailing on the last caller, i read your book, and i mischaracterized it please help me. what he said was that many of the moral things, like they were christians and work hard, how is it that the republicans are looked down as being anti- immigrants when i run if they they share the same values of many of the people that come over from mexico? people that i have talked to that come over from mexico say that. their government is more harsh and more "republican," excuse the term, but they are used to fighting for themselves. can you help me? guest: sure. thank you for reading the book. i appreciate that. you are on to the right thing. the republican brand is that there is not a mo

reporter: salgado says the new law threatens to destroy the relationship police have built with the latino community. in fact, over the past few weeks, immigrants rights groups have been counseling people on how to respond to police inquiries about legal status. at this meeting on monday in the sunnyslope neighborhood, a lawyer told the audience members that if they were stopped by police, they should exercise their right to remain silent and not answer questions about their families or where they were born. he also told them not to be afraid. but housekeeper alma mendoza says everyone in her neighborhood is afraid of what the law would mean if the injunction was lifted, even if they are in this country legally, as she is. >> it's going to be hard for everyone, especially if they're hispanic. because we're afraid the police will stop and pull you over for any reason. even if you're not a bad person, if you're not doing anything wrong. you have the chance that the police are going to stop you and they're going to ask you about your status. >> reporter: and there's one other concern for lati

we now need tt do that with the latino community, the asian community, and the muslim community. if you do not have trust, you will repeat the mistakes of the past yea. police work will be so much more important in the era of terrorism. pthat is another reason for advocating a local police being allowed under the tent of federal terrorism work. we can contribute to the discussion and the priorities and the approaches that they are engaging in. >> let us open it up for questions. i see a hand up back there. >> based on some of our reporting, the younger generation is typically avoiding mosquee and popular community locations at large because they believe that police and law enforcement are targeting them. how do you address that? >> basically, by a building relationships. we would go to services on fridays where in moms would communities -- where imams would invite us to go to talk to their communities. we also have many jobs in policing that are open to them, both on the force and not. hopefully the second generation will not risk the mistakes of the past. that is nother big aspe

and clearly the white house and immigrants want to get latino voters out to the polls.ut so far when you look at the polls on intensity, so far you just don't see it. and just on the number of people that are up set about immigration, there is the hard-core talk radio types who, ruth is right, are always going to be for the republicans and never going to be for obama. but i'm really struck by how broad hostility toward illegal immigration is. you go to town hall meetings it is republican or democrat, the question always comes up, it is always a similar sort of question, how can that fence be. so i think it is a broad issue. you know, economically it's just knot that important. but symbolically it's a sense of playing by the rules. and so i think it's a broad issue that touches a lot of people. >> it's obviously an emotional issue. i guess my point is that the people who are so angered about people they see, or imagine to be taking their jobs, they are already angry. they already have so many beefs with the administration, correct or not, that i'm not sure i see this as

and it is true latinos are on the represented politically we are fifteen percent of the population ande only have one senator that has to change this is it is incredible that the most powerful country in the world is persecuting and discriminating against eleven million people i just came back from south africa and he was amazing to see how in sixteen years they progress so much in getting rid of fighting discrimination it's fantastic what they're doing in south africa but when i come back to america and realize that you know the sauna and they're going to wait it's really shocking. i don't i'm not saying that people are the majority of people in our so i don't want to create an up with a system but what i'm seeing in arizona right now in many other parts of the country you shamefully close to two. terrible days you are an emmy award winning journalist that includes twenty years as an anchor for you know vision you have interviewed people from fidel castro to bill clinton to current president barack obama i'm curious how you reconcile the fact that you are a journalist and yet you are

of people are really trying to say that this is about politics this is because they want to get the latino vote and this way maybe they won't realize immigration reform didn't happen this year you know if they just want to talk about politics let's talk about governor jan brewer a very unpopular and not conservative republican governor who's doing this to cover up a billion dollar tax increase in her state who has suddenly won over conservatives by pretending to be tough and not going to great enough and protect. you know what i want to show really government when told that i was leaving out that is a political ally for the republicans there it's got sixty seventy two percent of the state supporting this law that's not just republicans and there is an arizona it is it is now many democrats in the legislature and i mean i'm not the front of the democratic party that is wrong on almost every single of arizona you know who is now the department of homeland security said janet apology on a democrat so let's not say that arizona didn't force it all more than any other secretary. or maybe about
