A meeting yesterday between President Donald Trump and a group of California politicians and sheriffs who oppose the state's sanctuary status for undocumented immigrants led to an exchange of tweets between Gov. Jerry Brown and the president.

🤥 @realDonaldTrump is lying on immigration, lying about crime and lying about the laws of CA. Flying in a dozen Republican politicians to flatter him and praise his reckless policies changes nothing. We, the citizens of the fifth largest economy in the world, are not impressed.

CapRadio's Capitol Bureau Chief Ben Adler joins Insight host Beth Ruyak to explain what the meeting what about and what California's governor had to say about it.

We'll also hear more on a judge's recent decision to overturn California's aid-in-dying law.
