The race for California Governor heats up as Antonio Villaraigosa and John Cox vie for the second spot behind front-runner Gavin Newsom (0:55), and Dave Jones sues his rival for Attorney General, Xavier Becerra, over a courthouse campaign ad (4:10). Then, Scott and Marisa are joined by former Federal Election Commissioner Ann Ravel, who talks about wondering whether her dad worked for the CIA in Chile when she was a kid (11:05), the difference between Sacramento and Washington politics (17:35), concerns over America’s response to Russian election meddling (22:24), and why she thinks the Stormy Daniels payment needs to be investigated (26:56).
