Episode 12: Marcos Breton

Marcos Breton is the California Opinion Editor for McClatchy, based in Sacramento.

As long as I’m sitting in the chair that I’m in, I want to talk about those things and write about those things honestly because they’re a part of who we are. They’re a part of our history in California. It doesn’t mean you don’t love our country. It doesn’t mean you don’t love our state.  I think real freedom begins with truth.
