The California map redraw is officially on the ballot for this November, and I'm joined by Gavin Newsom, Jamie Raskin, Dan Pfeiffer, and Fox L.A.'s Alex Michelson.

I'm Brian Tyler Cohen, and you're listening to No Lie.

It is official. New maps for California are on the ballot in 10 weeks on November 4th.

So first off, this came together so quickly

that it's actually reminiscent of a Republican move.

It's indicative of the fact that where there's a will, there's a way.

Newsom and California Democrats decided that it needed to get done,

and instead of the excuses about the timeline

and lamenting the race to the bottom

and insisting that we have to put together

a committee to study the effects. They just got it done. Which brings in a focus another point.

It's not happened anywhere else. The California Democrats just showed us what it looks like

when politicians want something to happen. They figure it out, which raises the question,

why haven't we seen

this happen anywhere else? Remember, California is a weapon and it's intended to neutralize Texas,

but Texas isn't the only tool at Republicans' disposal. They're also looking to redraw Missouri

and Indiana and Florida. That means we need other blue states to pull their weight. We can see what

it looks like when people find a way.

Like, I just watched my state pull together a full referendum in weeks where there is a will,

there's a way.

Now is not the time to wait and see, right?

This is the time to act.
