Breaking Up Is Hard to Do: Scott and Marisa recap the demise of the ballot measure to split California, and discuss Rep. Devin Nunes’ ad attacking the Fresno Bee (1:25). Then, Stanislaus County supervisor and former Assembly Republican Leader Kristin Olsen joins to talk how media is in her blood (9:00) why she has stuck with the GOP (13:13), what makes her “less hopeful every week” about moderation in politics (16:38), and the three reasons women tell her they are hesitant to run for office (22:04).
