You have to be kidding. Concrete plank, you have to be kidding. Precast, precast, right? Boom. Bing. Done. Keep going.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>After Trump became president, though, a dose of reality met his concrete wall. Trump’s description of the material started to change. He began referencing a barrier made of steel, rather than concrete. In part, he argued, so that border agents could see through the barrier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things that’s come up pretty strongly is we want to have vision through the wall, because you want to see what’s on the other side of the wall,” Trump said in an interview on Fox News on Nov. 2, 2017. “You know, you think we’re going to build a nice, simple concrete wall, but it’s not that simple.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A series of tall, steel bollards (posts) is technically more like a fence than a wall. Still, Trump kept calling it a wall and kept leading chants at his rallies all through 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, with Democrats refusing to fund the president’s wall, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1075197395892404231\">he’s insisting\u003c/a>: “We are not building a Concrete Wall, we are building artistically designed steel slats.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Democrats, are saying loud and clear that they do not want to build a Concrete Wall – but we are not building a Concrete Wall, we are building artistically designed steel slats, so that you can easily see through it….\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Donald J.

Now the government is partially shut down with Trump refusing to sign legislation to reopen it until Congress provides funding to build the wall (or steel slat barrier).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously, I never said this. And I never meant they are going to write out a check. I said they’re going to pay for it. They are,” Trump told reporters on his way to visit the border in Texas on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How would Mexico pay for it? During his campaign, Trump said the U.S. would compel Mexico to pay for it by restricting the flow of remittances, money sent to family members in Mexico by those living and working in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year after year,” read a campaign information sheet. (There were other ideas, too.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, Trump has said the wall would be paid for indirectly \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/678557749\">through the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement\u003c/a>, which hasn’t yet been ratified, and which economists say is unlikely to dramatically increase U.S. economic growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/683920624/684100878\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘They’d be angry at me’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Steel slats.

Does the difference matter to the people who elected Trump to build a wall?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No, it doesn’t matter,” said Nunberg, the early Trump campaign adviser. “What matters is that there’s something built that is not like anything that is built before. That is bigger. Grander.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunberg doesn’t claim to speak for all Trump voters. He’s looked at recent polling and focus groups and says the wall is still key.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Trump supporters define success on the border as building the wall, and he has to build the wall or get the wall started,” Nunberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s political future may well depend on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even Trump said as much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I did something that was foolish, like gave up on border security, the first ones that would hit me are my senators,” Trump said Wednesday in the Oval Office. “They’d be angry at me. The second ones would be the House. And the third ones would be, frankly, my base and a lot of Republicans out there, and a lot of Democrats that want to see border security.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

They are,” Trump told reporters on his way to visit the border in Texas on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How would Mexico pay for it? During his campaign, Trump said the U.S. would compel Mexico to pay for it by restricting the flow of remittances, money sent to family members in Mexico by those living and working in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year after year,” read a campaign information sheet.

There are relatively few Republican women in state legislatures, for example, and a lower share of women are Republicans than Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s also a sense within the party that they may need to adopt different policies.

Some in the GOP, like New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, believe that boosting women in primaries is essential to ultimately boost GOP women’s congressional numbers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why, in December, Stefanik said she was stepping down from her recruitment post at the NRCC — to focus on using her own leadership PAC to help women in her party win. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More bipartisan?

Women were instrumental in ending the 2013 shutdown. Women like Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins and Alaska Republican Sen.

There is evidence that women and men \u003ca href=\"https://my.vanderbilt.edu/alanwiseman/files/2016/03/VWW_Issues_201603.pdf\">introduce bills in different issue areas\u003c/a> — women more often in education, health, and civil rights and liberties; men more often in agriculture and energy. (That same study also found that those bills in “women’s issues” areas tend to pass less often than other bills, particularly when sponsored by women.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, women in the minority party have been shown to keep their bills alive longer than men in the minority do. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of which is to say that the bills on Congress’ docket next year may well look different than usual.

The state has not made an effort to track the effects of many of the changes, instead relying on outside groups like universities and think tanks to draw their own conclusions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believes the reforms have come at a cost but — in a sign of how far the conversation has come over the past decade — he also said police groups don’t want to return to the days of simply locking people up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that incarceration doesn’t solve the problem. There has to be a program afterwards, even during custody, in order for someone to have the best chance of being successful,” he said, arguing that the state hasn’t done enough to invest in those types of programs amid the significant reforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swing also said the state has gone too far, particularly with measures like the voter-approved Proposition 47, which Brown did not support when it was on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10652368/proposition-47-gives-former-felons-a-new-chance\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 47\u003c/a> helped reduce the prison population by reducing most drug possession charges from felonies to misdemeanors — meaning those inmates would serve their time in local jails, not state prisons — and made petty theft of items up to $950 a misdemeanor as well. It also allowed people to retroactively petition courts to change their sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Changing Relationship With Law Enforcement\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former state Sen. Mark Leno said the history behind Proposition 47 shows how law enforcement, long a powerful lobbying force in Sacramento, overreached at times during Brown’s tenure. And how the governor became increasingly more willing to push back against police and prosecutors over his two terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leno said prior to voters weighing in on Proposition 47 in 2014, he authored a measure that didn’t go quite as far as the initiative, but would have let prosecutors decide whether to charge someone with a felony or misdemeanor in many drug and petty theft cases. But law enforcement groups — particularly prosecutors — lobbied the governor to veto the bill, and he did.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11689707/in-shift-california-lawmakers-embrace-some-ambitious-criminal-justice-reforms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In Shift, California Lawmakers Embrace Some Ambitious Criminal Justice Reforms\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11689707/in-shift-california-lawmakers-embrace-some-ambitious-criminal-justice-reforms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS26392_IMG_1968-qut-1180x885.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The last legislative session under Gov.

But by the last few years of his governorship, Brown was pushing ballot measures, like Proposition 57, against the wishes of district attorneys and signing police oversight bills over the cries of police associations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once he became governor he probably had a clearer view of how serious the prison crisis was and that he was under court order to do something about it,” Leno said. “He in some ways almost reverted more back to his Jesuit roots of fairness and making sure people have second chances in life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That meant signing bills that reduced criminal sentences, Leno said, but also vetoing those that would have led to more people being incarcerated. It included signing a landmark bail reform bill last year that, if upheld by the voters in 2020, will eliminate the requirement that suspects \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11689184/gov-brown-signs-bill-ending-cash-bail-in-california\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pay money\u003c/a> to secure their release ahead of trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say Jerry Brown has been visionary in this area. He looked down the road, saw what needed to be done, and then figured out what to do and did it. That’s the definition of a visionary,” Leno said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We also reflect on the tragic Butte County Camp Fire as displaced residents decide whether to rebuild or move on.

He successfully reversed the state’s fiscal woes and leaves office with a projected budget surplus of $30 billion in state coffers. Brown oversaw a broad overhaul of the state’s criminal justice system and fought for policies to combat climate change while facing challenges from the Trump administration. KQED California Politics and Government Senior Editor Scott Shafer sits down with the outgoing governor to reflect on his legacy.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003cb>2018 in Review\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We look back at some of the top stories of 2018. In politics, California played a key role in the midterm election’s “blue wave,” where Democrats won congressional seats long held by Republicans in the Central Valley and Southern California. Meanwhile, refugees became the focus of a bitter political debate as the Trump administration separated families at the border and civil rights advocates went to court. We also reflect on the tragic Butte County Camp Fire as displaced residents decide whether to rebuild or move on. And in the tech industry, it’s been a year filled with troubling revelations about how companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter handle user data.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests: \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>Lily Jamali,\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> KQED The California Report co-host\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>Marisa Lagos, \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">KQED California Politics and Government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>Tonya Mosley\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, KQED Silicon Valley bureau chief\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Comedian Paula Poundstone\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Comedian Paula Poundstone is a star panelist on the NPR quiz show, “Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me!”, where she’s known for her off-the-cuff humor.
