A bipartisan roundtable analyzes Trump's impact on the Golden State.

It's been 99 days since businessman Trump became a public servant, and was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.

In the time since then, there has been ample disagreement over his effectiveness as a leader. 

In mostly-blue California, legislators have drawn up swift rebuttals to Trump's proposed policies, moving both to keep Obama-era environmental regulations in place and hamper Federal deportation efforts. 

So, how has the Golden State fared since Trump took office? 

That's the subject of a special edition of State of Affairs, Take Two's weekly look at politics in California

Guests:

  • Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, professor of public policy at USC
  • Jeremy Carl, research fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution
  • Scott Shafer, senior editor for politics and government at KQED
