gavin newsom is from san francisco. if we did a family tree of who's dated who over the years, i think you'd find they're pretty much both entangled. these relationships are not that weird out there. if anything, the fact that gavin newsom's ex-wife is with the trump administration might actually turn into a plus for the state of california because she might have some stake in helping us out, and ikn t what s most focused on right now is that publicly, it's one thing to challenge the president but notice he kind of does it at a distance. he hasn't done a personal attack. i can't say the same for the president and nickname for gavin newsom. the vice presidential nominee. it's a different type of relationship and gavin newsom trying to keep it on the tracks. whether it's fires, whether you need it, you need it and you have to act the the jjob, not t politics. as you know, republicans wasted no time when gavin smonewsom praised donald trump, they cut an ad with that. that was anvi newsom. >> it will be interesting to see w

with more on that catherine yeah grant and soon as we did hear it again today of course governor newsome. >>focusing on climate change almost exclusively and president trump focusing on forest management. newsome pointing out correctly most forest land in the state is federally owned still should our leaders be addressing both concepts more thoroughly climate change and forest management. i asked our political analysts. >>over 45% of california's 33 million acres are controlled by the u.s. forest service and therefore it's measured budget has all gone to fighting fires. so trump can blame this all in california. and you can remove climate change from the equation. the droughts are killing all vegetation that are tinder for fires. we didn't have fire tornadoes before the world got warmer, super fires are now the norm not a rarity climate change is killing our forests and then setting them ablaze deny that and you deny science. >>so the president's here in california and the question is should we talking about global warming or should we be talking about forest management. well if you beli
