Speaker 2: While Trump promised significant aid to North Carolina, a battleground state that helped Trump win the election, the president said he would only give aid to California on two conditions.

Speaker 3: I want to see two things in Los Angeles. Voter ID so that the people have a chance to vote. And I want to see the water be released and come down into Los Angeles and throughout the state.

Speaker 2: Governor Gavin Newsom fact checking Trump overnight saying California pumps as much water now as it could under prior Trump era policies and that California residents must show ID to register to vote. President Trump also suggesting he might get rid of FEMA and have states handle their own emergency response. But Trump would need congressional action to shut down the federal agency.
