With criticism mounting over California’s reopening guidelines, unemployment insurance system and the stalemate in reopening public schools, Scott and Marisa analyze the political fallout for Gov. Gavin Newsom. Then, Orange County Republican Congresswoman Michelle Steel joins to discuss her journey from South Korea to America, how her mother’s small business inspired her to run for political office, Orange County’s resistance to COVID-19 orders and her vote against the second impeachment of President Trump.
