Will the GOP Hold Disaster Relief Hostage?

Devastating wildfires in Los Angeles prompt a round of angry
finger-pointing and disaster politics from the GOP. The most
extreme reaction comes from Trump and a growing number of
Republicans in Congress, who are already talking about placing
conditions on disaster relief for California. Meanwhile,
President Biden kicks off his final week in office with a
farewell speech defending his foreign policy legacy. Jon, Lovett,
and Tommy break down what he got right, and what’s at risk as
Trump returns to D.C. On another front, MAGA’s messy relationship
with Big Tech heats up. Zuckerberg sits down with Trump on Joe
Rogan, while Steve Bannon takes aim at Elon Musk. Finally, Ken
Martin, Chair the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, drops
by to talk about his campaign for Chair of the Democratic
National Committee.
