The debate over transgender athletes was the focus of a heated hearing in Sacramento this week. California lawmakers rejected two bills sponsored by Republicans that would have limited trans high school athletes from participating in girls’ sports. The San Francisco Chronicle’s politics reporter Sophia Bollag joins Scott and Guy to discuss the “Capitol showdown.” 

Plus, former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra announced his bid to become California’s first Latino governor. Becerra sued  the Trump administration 120 times as attorney general of California and enters an already crowded field of Democratic candidates.
