Gavin Newsom: “You want to continue to sit back as we have aid to people…”

“I mean, I can just remind you just some tactical points. I mean, you want more warrantless arrests of people that look more like the attorney General than me. You want to continue to sit back as we have aid to people that are desperate and in need to get their lives back on track because of one of the most significant disasters, natural disasters in American history that happened in Southern California. You want that aid conditioned on a political whim of someone in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? I go down the list. All of that is on the line here.” (28:50–29:06)
