California lawmakers began a special legislative session today to protect the state from President-elect Trump’s administration on issues like immigration, climate change, abortion and gun safety. Governor Gavin Newsom, who called the special session, wants to add funding to the state Department of Justice to prepare for upcoming legal battles with Trump. Scott is joined by KQED politics correspondent Guy Marzorati, who’s in Sacramento talking with lawmakers about the special session and what’s on the agenda in the new year.
