President Donald Trump visits Los Angeles today to view the devastation of the recent wildfires, leaving Governor Gavin Newsom hanging as Trump ties federal disaster funding to water policy changes and voter IDs. Scott, Marisa and Guy discuss whether this is just talk or if aid to California will really be held hostage to politics.
