California is escalating its resistance against the Trump administration on everything from ice operations to women's sports, all while facing growing crises in the areas of security and affordability.

In this episode, we take a deep dive on the problems plaguing the deep blue golden state and how its ongoing battle with the federal government is impacting

Californians. I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Saturday, July 19th,

and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire. A portion of this interview aired earlier this week.
