Gavin Newsom should remain in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Find Your Ballot Drop-Off Location' tag='find-your-box']It’s only the second recall election in the state to qualify for the ballot, but the second in the past 20 years. That previous recall, in 2003, resulted in actor Arnold Schwarzenegger becoming governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot has changed since then on many fronts, but that it’s even happening in the first place — and who the leading Republican contender is — is an example of how politics has shifted in the state and reflects a national shift toward sharper partisanship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The election will also have national consequences. A California governor could appoint a new U.S. senator to the evenly divided chamber in the next year or so. And this is the first big test of whether Democrats can fire up their base — even in a very blue state — ahead of next year’s midterm elections when Republicans are favored to take back the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a primer on the recall, how it works and how we got here. But first:\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What are the potential national political consequences?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The fact that a Democratic governor in a state that President Biden won by almost 30 percentage points in 2020 doesn’t stand a near 0% chance of being ousted tells you a degree of the story of off-year elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The party out of power is usually the one that’s most fired up.\u003c/strong> During this pandemic, conservatives have been particularly vexed by Democratic governance — and they have no greater example for their ire, of everything they dislike about liberals, than California. So Newsom was already a ripe target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A test of Democratic mobilization.\u003c/strong> All eyes will be on to what degree Democrats are enthusiastic ahead of 2022. There are certainly motivators, considering the stakes the threat of Republican governance poses to the center-left, from the handling of the pandemic to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/09/09/1035467999/justice-department-sues-texas-over-new-abortion-ban\">extreme abortion laws like Texas’s\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/administration/news-releases-and-advisories/2020-news-releases-and-advisories/ap20108\">Democrats outnumber GOP voters by almost 5 million in California\u003c/a>, how close Republicans get to recalling Newsom — or of course if he’s recalled — is going to be something to watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In very practical terms, the U.S. Senate could be at stake.\u003c/strong> At first, this doesn’t seem to make sense, since this is about a governorship. But consider that Democrats control the 50-50 Senate by only the narrowest of margins, needing Vice President Harris to break ties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California governor has the power to appoint a U.S. senator and should there be a vacancy, Newsom or his replacement would serve until January 2023, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein would be approaching 90 at that point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A test of Biden’s clout.\u003c/strong> The president is campaigning for and with Newsom on Monday. That raises the political stakes. If Newsom were to lose — or if the election is close — Biden’s sway would be in question. And it would come at a time when \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/09/02/1033433959/biden-approval-rating-afghanistan-withdrawal\">Biden’s approval rating has been slipping nationally\u003c/a>, given the resurgent coronavirus due to the delta variant and following the Afghanistan withdrawal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A sign of the growing strength of a partisan minority?\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_governing_recall_in_California\">To qualify for the ballot, a recall effort requires signatures\u003c/a> that amount to at least 12% of the turnout of the last gubernatorial election, plus some other total vote thresholds. While this year that’s about 1.5 million signatures — undoubtedly a lot of signatures — you can find 12% of people who agree that they are very upset about a lot of things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What are the future repercussions when that’s the bar to cause \u003ca href=\"https://www.abc10.com/article/news/politics/california-recall-elections-will-cost-276-million/103-60b467b4-ac53-4684-a9ea-5454cf8d1b3e\">a statewide election that is costing California $276 million\u003c/a>?

Since his recall win in 2003, the GOP's share of the electorate has shrunk from 35% to 24%, and Democrats now control a supermajority of the state Legislature. Meanwhile, some of Schwarzenegger's signature policy achievements — including on climate change and political reform — remain unpopular with many Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at the beginning, says former Schwarzenegger communications director Rob Stutzman, even those who hadn't voted for the movie star were excited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\"\u003c/b>I wouldn't say the Republican party completely coalesced around him [during the recall campaign],\" Stutzman said. \"But Schwarzenegger captured the imagination — even beyond Republicans — of the potential of him. And once he was governor, the party did consolidate around him for quite a while.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't just Davis’s unpopularity or Schwarzenegger’s Hollywood status that propelled the actor and former pro bodybuilder to victory in 2003. Schwarzenegger capitalized on his position as an outsider — promising to blow up boxes and upend business as usual in Sacramento. He pledged to repeal the so-called car tax and balance the state’s budget, but not raise other taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking back, though, political insiders say the excitement was palpable among the broader political community when Schwarzenegger first arrived in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's kind of hard to imagine the enthusiasm that everyone felt having someone like Gov. Schwarzenegger, the Terminator, show up and claim he was going to fix the state, he was going to clean house and he was going to restructure government so it worked more like a business,\" recalled Sam Blakeslee, a Republican elected to the Assembly shortly after Schwarzenegger took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blakeslee, who eventually became the Assembly Republican leader before being elected to the state Senate, says it wasn’t just Republicans who were optimistic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I remember talking to lobbyists and fellow Republicans, even Democrats, who were genuinely excited to see what he could get done,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But governing is different from campaigning, and Schwarzenegger soon found himself faced with a massive budget deficit, in part because he repealed that car tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his first year, Schwarzenegger had political wind at his back, and managed to convince voters to borrow $15 billion to close the spending gap. But one year later, his effort to go around the state Legislature with another series of ballot measures was crushed by organized labor, which unleashed a ferocious opposition campaign. Voters resoundingly rejected Schwarzenegger's package that, among other things, would have curbed state spending and weakened public employee unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After losing that ballot fight, Schwarzenegger brought more powerful, experienced Democrats into his administration — \u003ca href=\"https://capitolweekly.net/schwarzenegger-picks-key-davis-aide-susan-kennedy-as-new-chief-of-staff-sparking-anger-among-some-republicans/\">including a new chief of staff\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, that was the point when a lot of Republicans broke with Schwarzenegger,\" said Blakeslee, who noted that the former governor didn't just have Democratic advisers — he actually listened to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Arnold embraced their perspective,\" he said. \"And a lot of Republicans were aghast and deeply confused because they literally thought they had voted for and had one type of governor at the top of the ticket and woke up the next day and found out he was someone altogether different.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Budget fights with both parties in the state Legislature would color Schwarzenegger’s entire tenure —but another former Republican Assembly leader during that time, Connie Conway, said she saw his willingness to listen to all sides as one of his major strengths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conway credits Schwarzenegger for raising up the voices of minority Republicans during budget negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I always appreciated the fact that I feel that Gov. Schwarzenegger was inclusive. Everybody's opinion did matter ... It's part of his DNA,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But things got a lot more complicated between the governor and the GOP near the end of his first term. Months before he won reelection, Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 32, California's landmark climate change bill, which was passed largely on party lines and set the stage for the state's cap and trade program. It remains deeply controversial among Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"recall-election\"]Still, Blakeslee notes that Schwarzenegger was able to get some GOP lawmakers on board with other carbon-reduction legislation. He calls the issue one of Schwarzenegger's \"chief achievements.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And he actually created a space where there could be moderate Republicans who could bring forward reforms or proposals to improve the environment,\" he said. \"He actually did a pretty good job of keeping a cohort of moderate Republicans in a position where they could work with him because he did take their input.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was what happened after Schwarzenegger won reelection in 2006 that angered GOP stalwarts the most, says Stutzman, his former communications director: He reneged on a campaign promise not to raise taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He ran for reelection ... [and] promised not to raise taxes, but he did raise taxes,\" Stutzman said. \"So, yeah, at that point, I think Republicans were getting frustrated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there were Schwarzenegger's successful political reform efforts — achievements that may have undercut an already waning Republican party in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, in 2008, Schwarzenegger wrote a ballot measure that took legislative redistricting powers away from lawmakers and put them in the hands of an independent commission. Then, in 2010 — as he prepared to leave office — Schwarzenegger backed a ballot measure that ended party primaries in California and allowed the top two candidates to move on to the general election, leaving neither party with a guaranteed spot in the runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allan Zaremberg, CEO of the California Chamber of Commerce, said the initiatives did what Schwarzenegger and other backers had wanted: They opened the door to electing more centrist politicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether the changes were positive for the Republican Party is another question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We, as well as the governor, were concerned about making sure that the lines were fairly drawn to represent communities of interest as opposed to, you know, 'Can you protect my seat,' which happened all the time when you had incumbents drawing the lines,\" he said. \"You want to have as many people participate in the election as possible and get the candidate who appeals to the majority of the voters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stutzman also sees those measures as a win because they stripped power from both political parties. He said Schwarzenegger achieved other important victories, too, like reforming workers’ compensation laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By and large, I put Arnold up there, his Republican governor record, with just about any Republican governor we've had,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of now, he’s also the last GOP governor California has seen.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Schwarzenegger, the Terminator, show up and claim he was going to fix the state, he was going to clean house and he was going to restructure government so it worked more like a business,\" recalled Sam Blakeslee, a Republican elected to the Assembly shortly after Schwarzenegger took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blakeslee, who eventually became the Assembly Republican leader before being elected to the state Senate, says it wasn’t just Republicans who were optimistic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I remember talking to lobbyists and fellow Republicans, even Democrats, who were genuinely excited to see what he could get done,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But governing is different from campaigning, and Schwarzenegger soon found himself faced with a massive budget deficit, in part because he repealed that car tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his first year, Schwarzenegger had political wind at his back, and managed to convince voters to borrow $15 billion to close the spending gap. But one year later, his effort to go around the state Legislature with another series of ballot measures was crushed by organized labor, which unleashed a ferocious opposition campaign. Voters resoundingly rejected Schwarzenegger's package that, among other things, would have curbed state spending and weakened public employee unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After losing that ballot fight, Schwarzenegger brought more powerful, experienced Democrats into his administration — \u003ca href=\"https://capitolweekly.net/schwarzenegger-picks-key-davis-aide-susan-kennedy-as-new-chief-of-staff-sparking-anger-among-some-republicans/\">including a new chief of staff\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, that was the point when a lot of Republicans broke with Schwarzenegger,\" said Blakeslee, who noted that the former governor didn't just have Democratic advisers — he actually listened to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Arnold embraced their perspective,\" he said. \"And a lot of Republicans were aghast and deeply confused because they literally thought they had voted for and had one type of governor at the top of the ticket and woke up the next day and found out he was someone altogether different.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Budget fights with both parties in the state Legislature would color Schwarzenegger’s entire tenure —but another former Republican Assembly leader during that time, Connie Conway, said she saw his willingness to listen to all sides as one of his major strengths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conway credits Schwarzenegger for raising up the voices of minority Republicans during budget negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I always appreciated the fact that I feel that Gov. Schwarzenegger was inclusive. Everybody's opinion did matter ... It's part of his DNA,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But things got a lot more complicated between the governor and the GOP near the end of his first term. Months before he won reelection, Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 32, California's landmark climate change bill, which was passed largely on party lines and set the stage for the state's cap and trade program. It remains deeply controversial among Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He calls the issue one of Schwarzenegger's \"chief achievements.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And he actually created a space where there could be moderate Republicans who could bring forward reforms or proposals to improve the environment,\" he said. \"He actually did a pretty good job of keeping a cohort of moderate Republicans in a position where they could work with him because he did take their input.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was what happened after Schwarzenegger won reelection in 2006 that angered GOP stalwarts the most, says Stutzman, his former communications director: He reneged on a campaign promise not to raise taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He ran for reelection ... [and] promised not to raise taxes, but he did raise taxes,\" Stutzman said. \"So, yeah, at that point, I think Republicans were getting frustrated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there were Schwarzenegger's successful political reform efforts — achievements that may have undercut an already waning Republican party in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, in 2008, Schwarzenegger wrote a ballot measure that took legislative redistricting powers away from lawmakers and put them in the hands of an independent commission. Then, in 2010 — as he prepared to leave office — Schwarzenegger backed a ballot measure that ended party primaries in California and allowed the top two candidates to move on to the general election, leaving neither party with a guaranteed spot in the runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allan Zaremberg, CEO of the California Chamber of Commerce, said the initiatives did what Schwarzenegger and other backers had wanted: They opened the door to electing more centrist politicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether the changes were positive for the Republican Party is another question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We, as well as the governor, were concerned about making sure that the lines were fairly drawn to represent communities of interest as opposed to, you know, 'Can you protect my seat,' which happened all the time when you had incumbents drawing the lines,\" he said. \"You want to have as many people participate in the election as possible and get the candidate who appeals to the majority of the voters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stutzman also sees those measures as a win because they stripped power from both political parties. He said Schwarzenegger achieved other important victories, too, like reforming workers’ compensation laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By and large, I put Arnold up there, his Republican governor record, with just about any Republican governor we've had,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At the time, Hernández worked for a well-known body shop in Los Angeles called West Coast Customs, where Hollywood celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton often brought their cars to for repairs and customizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Schwarzenegger came to pick up his car, I drove it and handed him the keys,” Hernández said, chuckling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up in Mexico City, Hernández dreamed of being on television and becoming famous. He used to watch a kids’ show called “Chiquilladas” and aspired to be invited to be a part of the cast. When he was 8 years old, he learned that the show was offering acting lessons for kids. But his family didn’t have extra money to pay for them, so his dream was pushed to the back burner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/H2yUzmGAOxo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In high school Hernández started working at an auto repair shop to earn extra money. He liked working on cars — almost as much as he liked the idea of being on TV. He decided that he wanted to work on cars professionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1991, as a teenager, he crossed the U.S.-Mexico border with his brother. He then got a job working as a janitor at a body shop in Westchester, near the Los Angeles International Airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first time I seen a lowrider, I really went crazy,” Hernández said. “They used to make them dance and get up and spin around.

He had a cousin who was doing some gigs for \u003ca href=\"https://westcoastcustoms.com/\">West Coast Customs\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\">Hernández and his cousin spent a long weekend doing the exterior work on a rickety old van for West Coast Customs. As they worked, a camera crew came out to film them. Hernández figured they were shooting a documentary, but he didn’t ask any questions.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re here to do the job. Our thing was the money. Never mind the cameras,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following week, Hernández found out that they were filming the pilot episode of “\u003ca href=\"http://www.mtv.com/news/series/pimp-my-ride/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pimp My Ride\u003c/a>” — the MTV reality show hosted by the rapper Xzibit. Each episode featured West Coast Customs tricking out an old clunker and adding wild features like an Xbox or a jacuzzi. Hernández went on to work on many of the cars that appeared on the show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/EYtGosGqsZs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We ended up doing ‘Pimp My Ride’ for six years,” he said. “Those six years were the happiest years of my life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The body shop soon launched its own reality show called “Street Customs.” Hernández became one of the show’s main characters — living his childhood fantasy on national TV in the United States. But he was also in California as an undocumented immigrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When his boss offered to sponsor Hernández with a U.S. visa if he returned to Mexico to open a West Coast Customs franchise, he jumped on the opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the winter of 2009, Hernández said goodbye to his partner and three kids and flew to Mexico City.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The world of “Tunéame la nave”\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When Hernández left Los Angeles, it was the first time in nearly 20 years that he had been back to Mexico City — the place where he grew up dreaming about being on television. And what’s extraordinary is that this dream of appearing on TV came true again, just not on the California side of the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Hernández worried that perhaps he’d made the wrong choice, and that this whole business venture in Mexico might fail. He promised his kids that he’d be back in California before the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once he’d returned to Mexico, the investors who brought the West Coast Customs brand there came up with the idea to launch a version of “Pimp My Ride” in Spanish. Hernández became the show’s host, and they called the show “Tunéame la nave,” a direct translation of “Pimp My Ride.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/E3FFB9Pcmis\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernández designed most of “Tunéame la nave” himself. The premise of the show was that people would send in pictures of their cars each week. Hernández would choose which one would get tuned up. He wanted the show to be funny — less formal than “Pimp My Ride” — and something that Mexicans could identify with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to put the salsa in it,” Hernández recalled. “Mexicans, we always want to put chile in it, we want to put lemon in it, we want to put salt in it. So I wanted to put the spices in it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Mauricio Hernández\"]‘I had a promise to my kids in the States … that I was going to come back on Christmas Eve so I could be with them.’[/pullquote]Soon “Tunéame la nave” was broadcast to every state in Mexico. For years, Hernández had done the grunt work on cars that appeared on “Pimp My Ride” — but he was always behind the scenes. Now he became famous in his own country, the Xzibit of Mexico’s version of “Pimp My Ride.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernández said that his success in Mexico created a rift between him and Ryan Friedlinghaus, the owner of West Coast Customs in Los Angeles. Hernández arrived in Mexico believing that his former boss would sponsor him with a U.S. visa, which would allow him to return to his children in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hernández said that Friedlinghaus cut off communication with him in Mexico — he never helped Hernández get a visa. After multiple attempts to interview Friedlinghaus for this story, Friedlinghaus’s publicist sent an email saying they wish Hernández “our very best.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11885688\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11885688 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50727_Photo_4-qut-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50727_Photo_4-qut-800x530.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50727_Photo_4-qut-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50727_Photo_4-qut.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mauricio Hernández still regularly holds events around Mexico for fans of his show “Tunéame la nave,” which was based on MTV’s hit show “Pimp My Ride.” (Photo courtesy Mauricio Hernández) \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Mauricio Hernández)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But despite the fame he acquired from “Tunéame la nave,” Hernández didn’t want to stay in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a promise to my kids in the States,” Hernández said, “that I was gonna come back on Christmas Eve so I could be with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The crossing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='immigration']Hernández traveled to Tecate, a Mexican town on the border with California, and hired a coyote to take him to the United States. One night he set off with a group of about a dozen other migrants from Central America and Mexico around midnight and they began walking through the mountains into California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was hard to cross at that moment,” Hernández said. “They had like so much security around the border.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernández was a smoker and out of shape, so he had trouble keeping up with the group. Eventually, they all stopped in a cave up in the mountains. Mauricio collapsed on the ground and fell asleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t remember sleeping for a long time. But I do remember when I woke up. There was nobody at the cave,” Hernández said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernández started walking through the darkness trying to find his way back to civilization. Soon, it started to rain. Hernández walked through the freezing cold, tripping and falling in these deep depressions in the earth that bruised his arms and legs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was preparing myself to die,” Hernández said. “I remember I told God, ‘I don’t want to die like this, please.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernández had an old flip phone in his pocket that still had some battery left. He managed to call a Mexican emergency hotline. When the sun rose the next morning, an operator on the other end of the line was able to give Hernández directions back to Tecate based on landmarks he saw. A group of paramedics met Hernández at the edge of the city. Later, they told him that he nearly died from hypothermia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernández never tried crossing the U.S. border again. Although his show, “Tunéame la nave” was eventually canceled, Hernández has formed a fulfilling life for himself in Mexico, where he runs his own body shop and regularly attends events where fans of the show come to get his autograph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11885687\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11885687\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50726_Photo_6-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50726_Photo_6-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50726_Photo_6-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50726_Photo_6-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50726_Photo_6-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50726_Photo_6-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Today Mauricio Hernández runs his own body shop in Mexico City that does personal customization on cars.

At the time, Hernández worked for a well-known body shop in Los Angeles called West Coast Customs, where Hollywood celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton often brought their cars to for repairs and customizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Schwarzenegger came to pick up his car, I drove it and handed him the keys,” Hernández said, chuckling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up in Mexico City, Hernández dreamed of being on television and becoming famous. He used to watch a kids’ show called “Chiquilladas” and aspired to be invited to be a part of the cast. When he was 8 years old, he learned that the show was offering acting lessons for kids. But his family didn’t have extra money to pay for them, so his dream was pushed to the back burner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/H2yUzmGAOxo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In high school Hernández started working at an auto repair shop to earn extra money.

And what’s extraordinary is that this dream of appearing on TV came true again, just not on the California side of the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Hernández worried that perhaps he’d made the wrong choice, and that this whole business venture in Mexico might fail. He promised his kids that he’d be back in California before the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once he’d returned to Mexico, the investors who brought the West Coast Customs brand there came up with the idea to launch a version of “Pimp My Ride” in Spanish.

The premise of the show was that people would send in pictures of their cars each week. Hernández would choose which one would get tuned up. He wanted the show to be funny — less formal than “Pimp My Ride” — and something that Mexicans could identify with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to put the salsa in it,” Hernández recalled. “Mexicans, we always want to put chile in it, we want to put lemon in it, we want to put salt in it.

But I do remember when I woke up. There was nobody at the cave,” Hernández said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernández started walking through the darkness trying to find his way back to civilization.

He managed to call a Mexican emergency hotline. When the sun rose the next morning, an operator on the other end of the line was able to give Hernández directions back to Tecate based on landmarks he saw. A group of paramedics met Hernández at the edge of the city. Later, they told him that he nearly died from hypothermia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernández never tried crossing the U.S. border again.

Gavin Newsom and some of the ideas promoted by Democrats as an opportunity they haven't had in more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stutzman says the current political environment, stoked by the governor’s uneven handling of the pandemic, opens the door for a Republican return to relevance. \"Newsom has provided a real rallying point, organizational point for Republicans that they never had during the Jerry Brown years,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be sure, Newsom was dealt a much tougher hand than Gov. Brown. He didn’t cause the pandemic.

And I talk to moms and dads every day who just don't understand why we can't get basic things right,\" Chen says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Republican party has been shrinking for years — it’s now just a quarter of registered voters. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger warned about its decline at a party convention in 2007, saying, \"We're dying at the box office,\" and urging party leaders to move toward the middle of the political spectrum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Lanhee Chen, Hoover Institution\"]\"The most important thing that Republicans can do is to articulate what it is that you're actually going to do if you're given the opportunity to lead.

And that's something that I think, unfortunately, Republicans haven't been good enough at doing,\" Chen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GOP consultant Stutzman adds that the party as it stands today will require a significant upgrade in \"organizational coherency\" before making real gains in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's an opportunity to suggest that government could be more competently run, more efficiently,\" said Stutzman, who remained a Republican despite misgivings about Trump. \"But, you know, we talk about the Republican Party — it's really not an entity that's organized in any way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chad Mayes — once the Republican leader in the Assembly — left the GOP over former President Trump, and got reelected last year as a member of no party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Today, the Trump Republicans own the Republican Party nationally and the Trump Republicans own the California Republican Party as well,\" Mayes said. \"The question is, will they pivot and shift into a new direction?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_P-0I6sAck\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayes, I-Yucca Valley, thinks the party took a step in that direction recently by ditching state Senate Republican Leader Shannon Grove, R-Bakersfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shannon represented the extreme part of the Republican Party, that these are the Trump supporters, the MAGA supporters and maybe even some of the QAnon conspirators,\" Mayes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The caucus replaced her with its most moderate member, state Sen. Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, who just won reelection in an increasingly purple district in the exurbs of Los Angeles. Mayes says elevating Wilk, who is a more traditional conservative, shows Republicans are trying to rebrand the party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Scott understands that for the Republican Party to succeed in California, it has to begin to act and behave a lot more like what Californians believe,\" Mayes said. \"I think that's a good development for that caucus and for the Republican Party at large,\" Mayes said.[aside postID=\"news_11854275\" label=\"CA Republicans and the Attack on the Capitol\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lanhee Chen agrees. \"The Senate caucus and the Assembly caucus, I mean, their responsibility is to demonstrate an alternative vision to poor governance. And if making that change in leadership allows them to do that better, then I think that's great,\" Chen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changing its leaders may help the party rebrand itself. But even though Republicans picked up four congressional seats in California last November, it will require more than an insider shake-up to make serious inroads with voters and make up for decades of decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They have a very long way to go before accumulating any real power in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gavin Newsom and some of the ideas promoted by Democrats as an opportunity they haven't had in more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stutzman says the current political environment, stoked by the governor’s uneven handling of the pandemic, opens the door for a Republican return to relevance. \"Newsom has provided a real rallying point, organizational point for Republicans that they never had during the Jerry Brown years,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be sure, Newsom was dealt a much tougher hand than Gov. Brown. He didn’t cause the pandemic.
