NEW: California Rep. Kevin Kiley said Wednesday that he's confident Los Angeles will get federal disaster relief.

Kiley noted House Speaker Mike Johnson's use of the word "conditions" when discussing the aid earlier this week was not "especially helpful" as the wildfires have killed dozens of people and destroyed homes and businesses across Southern California.

American corporations are breathing a sigh of relief that Trump has ended the woke tyranny of the left. Maybe it's performative, transactional, or sincere — but it means we won, and they know it.

Trump 1.0 led to The Resistance
Trump 2.0 is leading to The Liberation.

The wildfire disaster continues across Southern California, devastating 40,000-plus acres and claiming the lives of more than 25 people. The California legislature is considering $2.5 billion in emergency aid, at the same time as they work to "Trump-proof" the state, which some democratic leaders have hinted may be tied together.

Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) is a former member of the state assembly, he joins Cher Calvin and Courtney Friel to discuss the legislature and Governor's response to the crisis, the debate over conditional federal aid, and his priorities for the 119th Congress.

NEW: A new sales tax increase in the city of Manteca will go into effect April 1, which will allow the Manteca Police Department enough funding to build a new police station.

NEW: California Governor Gavin Newsom decided to raise the American flag to full mast at the state Capitol for Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025, despite ongoing mourning for former President Jimmy Carter.

This move aligns him with some Republican leaders and occurs during a time of significant wildfires in California, suggesting both a nod to unity and a need for federal support.
