BROOKE BALDWIN (HOST): On that, Marco, Ana Navarro, she's a CNN contributor, she's a Republican, Nicaraguan born, she came on CNN and she said, quote, “At least we know Trump has two Spanish words in his vocabulary, hombre and taco.” She's not a Trump fan if you haven't figured it out. “Though, I will tell you with a 13 percent favorability rating for Latinos, I think a lot of us would agree Trump is a bad hombre, and add loco to that as well.” How would you, Marco, respond to Ana?

MARCO GUTIERREZ: Ana Navarro is a bad mujer, she's an angry woman. And you guys need to stop. Hillary Clinton, she has the vocabulary, she has the dialogue, she can extract and express herself better, but Donald Trump speaks the language of the heart, and I understand what Donald Trump's saying and most -- 90 percent of the people out there understand what he's saying. Because he's not an intellectual like you guys, he doesn't speak the way you want him to speak, that doesn't mean he's not saying what he's saying, and we understand what he's saying. I talk to every taxi driver here, I talked to everybody in the university, and everybody understands what Donald Trump says, except you guys.

BALDWIN: OK, first of all, please don't “you guys” me. Don't throw me in or make blanket statements, I take offense to that. Second of all, you, Marco, made the comment in a recent interview saying that “a vote for Hillary Clinton would equal a taco truck on every corner,” and speaking of taco trucks, there was a wall of taco trucks in front of Trump's Vegas hotelyesterday. This was the Culinary Workers Union. They oppose Trump, so not everyone agrees with you.

GUTIERREZ: I stand by my comment. The result of a sick economy, the result of an economy in decay is flea market commerce. And we're going to have taco trucks on every corner because we, as Hispanics, because when you push us out of the economy, we know how to survive. We have taco stands on every coroner Mexico, that's what we'll do here.
