1 CA Electricity Bills Include Profits for Shareholders | How the Wine Industry is Responding to New Alcohol Guidelines | The Escapism of ‘Butterscotch Den’
Why investor-owned California utilities include profits for shareholders in electricity bills. Also, how the state’s wine industry is responding to new alcohol guidelines. Finally, the philosophy and vibe behind Sacramento’s “Butterscotch Den.” CA Electricity Bills Include Profits for Shareholders CalMatters Business Reporter Malena Carollo shares her recent reporting explaining one reason behind California’s electricity bills - a baked-in profit for shareholders . Called a “return on equity,” the amount is meant to compensate investor-owned utilities, like PG&E, for the risk of doing business. It pays back shareholders for their investment in the companies and helps utilities maintain a higher credit rating to attract better loan rates for future projects. CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state. How the Wine Industry is Responding to New Alcohol Guideline s A modern trend to start the new year is “Dry January,” when people abstain from drinking alcohol as a way to feel healthier and save money. This idea has gained steam in recent years, as the effects of alcohol on the body have received increasing attention from health officials. Insight’s wine expert Rick Kushman talks about the changing attitudes and nuances toward drinking, as well as how California’s wine industry is shifting to meet these tastes. The Escapism of ‘Butterscotch Den’ For the past several years, a lounge in Sacramento’s Oak Park neighborhood has offered visitors a form of escapism to the 1960s and 70s - grilling their own steaks, enjoying a cocktail and listening to local live music. Lindsay Nader and Trevor Easter are the owners of Butterscotch Den and join Insight to talk about the philosophy behind the restaurant’s vibe.…

1 Executive Orders and California Water | Congressman Ami Bera | Pulitzer Prize-Winning Play ‘English’ at Capital Stage
How President Trump’s executive orders impact California water. Also, a conversation with Congressman Ami Bera. Finally, the Pulitzer-Prize winning play “English” at Capital Stage. Executive Orders and California Water In his first two weeks in office, President Donald Trump has taken several actions that would have major impacts on how California manages its water supply. A presidential action issued on Inauguration Day would shift more water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to Southern California and the Central Valley. And over the weekend, President Trump issued an executive order that would allow the federal government to bypass state water laws and environmental regulation. Jeffrey Mount is a Senior Fellow with the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California and joins Insight to talk about the impact and feasibility of these federal actions. Congressman Ami Bera Congressman Ami Bera is back in his district. The Democrat represents the northern part of Sacramento County and has been in Congress for more than a decade, spanning four presidents - including President Trump twice. Rep. Bera discussed how a second Trump presidency is shaping the work he does here at home and in D.C. Pulitzer Prize-Winning Play ‘English’ at Capital Stage Another Pulitzer Prize-winning play is making its Sacramento premiere at Capital Stage in Sacramento. English , written by Sanaz Toossi, is the 2023 Pulitzer Prize Winning Play for Drama. It’s about four Iranians who come together three times a week to learn English. But while embracing the possibility of a new language, they are also coming to terms with what they might lose in the process. We’ll learn more about the production from Director Torange Yeghiazarian and hear a short scene from actors Sofia Ahmad and Fatemeh Mehraban. English opens tonight and runs through March 2.…

1 CA Insulin Production Behind Schedule | Immigration Enforcement in California | NPR’s Student Podcast Challenge
Gov. Newsom’s first-in-the-nation plan to produce cheaper insulin is behind schedule. Also, how President Trump’s immigration policy is impacting Sacramento and the Central Valley. Finally, the NPR Student Podcast Challenge is now underway. CA Insulin Production Behind Schedule It’s been almost five years since Governor Newsom first introduced a plan for California to produce cheaper insulin. The medication is vital for those with diabetes and the costs - even with insurance - have been difficult for many to pay. Newsom’s first-in-the-nation plan to partner with a drugmaker to produce cheaper insulin was one attempt to curb prices. It has yet to deliver. Kristen Hwang is a health reporter for CalMatters and she’s been following this story since it first developed. She joins us today to explain what the hold up is when it comes to insulin production in the state. CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state. Immigration Enforcement in California President Donald Trump delivered on his campaign promise to crack down on immigration, putting in place executive actions to close the border, shut down asylum protections, and potentially expel undocumented residents. We’ll learn how the initial days of the Trump Administration are impacting Sacramento and the Central Valley. KVPR Reporter Joshua Yeager shares his reporting on U.S. Border Patrol raids in the Central Valley ahead of President Trump’s inauguration. We’re also joined by Autumn Gonzalez , a volunteer attorney with NorCal Resist , a Sacramento-based nonprofit organization focused on mutual aid, community resources, and immigration justice. And Jessie Mabry is the CEO of Opening Doors , a nonprofit that supports immigrants, refugees, and survivors of trafficking. NPR’s Student Podcast Challenge It’s time to become a podcast nerd. That is if you’re a kid between fourth and 12th grade. The 2025 NPR Student Podcast Challenge is now underway, with all submissions due by May 2. Steve Drummond and Janet Woojeong Lee are the editor and producer behind this incredibly popular competition and they join us today to talk about why it happens and how young people get involved.…

1 New State Sen. Christopher Cabaldon | Gender and DEI Under President Trump | Placer County’s Raptor Pest Solution
A conversation with new state Senator Christopher Cabaldon. Also, how President Trump’s gender and DEI policy changes will impact California. Finally, Placer County uses birds of prey to address pest control at local parks. New State Sen. Christopher Cabaldon We are spending the first weeks of 2025 getting to know the new lawmakers representing our area. Today, State Senator Christopher Cabaldon joins Insight. The Democrat was West Sacramento’s mayor for two decades. We’ll learn about his priorities in office - with a district that spans Yolo County, the Delta, Sacramento Valley and Wine Country. Gender and DEI Under President Trump Today, we’re going to dive into President Donald Trump’s executive order surrounding gender, and that the federal government will only recognize sexes assigned at birth - male and female. Under the Biden Administration, a person could select their gender identity on federal documents, like passports and social security cards - even allowing people to select “X” if someone uses they/them pronouns, for example. Under the Trump Administration, that comes to an end. However states like California still allow gender identity in state documents, like a driver’s license. We’re going to spend time understanding how this impacts trans and nonbinary people in our community. Joining Insight is CapRadio Reporter Srishti Prabha , who uses they/them pronouns, Alexis Sanchez , Director of Advocacy and Training at the Sacramento LGBT Center, and Larry Levine , the Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) at University of the Pacific’s McGeorge School of Law, who will also weigh in on Trump’s executive actions rolling back federal DEI policies. Placer County’s Raptor Pest Solution Placer County started a new natural pest control program at some of its local parks. The county set up raptor perches at Doyle Ranch Park and Glenn Willow Park in Roseville for birds of prey to hunt voles, and keep them from causing property damage. Matt Williams is the Trails and Open Spaces Supervisor for Placer County, and he talks about this environmentally-friendly way to keep local wildlife at bay.…

Why former Sacramento City Manager Howard Chan returned after resigning. Also, KCRA’s extended version of its Holocaust documentary “Always Remember Your Name.” Finally, the monthly storytelling series “In A Nutshell” launches at The SOFIA. Former City Manager Howard Chan Returns Earlier this month the Sacramento City Council appointed Leyne Milstein to serve as the interim city manager after Howard Chan - who drew criticism, in part, due to a high salary - resigned from the position after the city council voted not to extend his contract. However, just hours after the City Council approved Milstein’s contract, Chan announced that he’d be starting a new position - special advisor to the city manager , with a similar salary. CapRadio reporters Tony Rodriguez and Gerardo Zavala join Insight to explain how this was possible, as the City Council continues its nationwide search for a permanent replacement. Holocaust Documentary ‘Always Remember Your Name’ Monday marks a powerful milestone during the Holocaust. Jan. 27 is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau . It is the site where more than one million people were murdered - most of whom were Jewish. In honor of this moment in history, KCRA will be airing an extended version of its documentary Always Remember Your Name which chronicles the life of a Holocaust survivor who now calls Sacramento home. You can watch the 90 minute version on KCRA on Sunday Jan. 26 at 7pm and on MY58 on Monday Jan. 27 at 8pm. KCRA Anchor and reporter Deirdre Fitzpatrick , Special Projects Producer Dave Manoucheri , and Photojournalist Victor Nieto join us about bringing this documentary to life. ‘In A Nutshell’ Storytelling Series Our need to tell stories can be traced back to ancient cave paintings. The best stories are engaging, entertaining and informative. A new show premiering Jan. 31 at The SOFIA Home of The B Street in Sacramento aims to capture that magic live. In a Nutshell - Mostly True Stories is a monthly storytelling show hosted by comedian Keith Lowell Jensen , who is known for telling a pretty good tale himself.

Local Jewish and Palestinian-Americans respond to a potential ceasefire reached between Israel and Hamas. Also, a feline behavior scientist's new book, “Play with your Cat!” Finally, jazz-hip hop fusion band Lab Rats hosts wildfire benefit shows. Israel-Hamas Ceasefire This week marked a major breakthrough in the Israel-Hamas conflict. Yesterday, the U.S. announced a ceasefire had been reached, and with it, carried the hope that Israeli hostages held since Oct. 7, 2023 would be released and that 15 months of fighting in Gaza, that has claimed at least 45,000 Palestinians, would come to an end. But roughly 24 hours later, that ceasefire is in limbo. As of this morning, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delayed a vote on a peace deal, which was scheduled to take effect on Sunday. As international politics play out, there are Jewish and Palestinian communities here at home who are hanging on to each development. We are going to listen to some of them today. Here on Insight, we create a space to listen to the diverse voices and viewpoints in our community. We want to acknowledge that while our guests are part of a larger conversation, they do not represent all the viewpoints that are taking place. First we are joined by Dan Weitzman, a current board member of the Shalom School and recent board member for the Jewish Federation of the Sacramento Region . The second part of the conversation is with Dr. Yousef Khelfa. The Stockton-based hematologist oncologist is the co-founder of the Palestinian American Medical Association . Book 'Play with Your Cat' Roughly one in three U.S. households own a cat. But these popular pets are often misunderstood and that can create health and behavior problems. A cat behavior consultant in Sacramento has spent her career researching felines and poured what she learned into a fun, comprehensive guide. Dr. Mikel Maria Delgado is an animal behavior scientist and joins us with her book Play with your Cat! which is described as a fun, comprehensive guide to the key to feline happiness. Lab Rats Wildfire Concert Sacramento’s LabRats are dedicated to making good music and a positive difference in our community.

Finally, Fox & Goose Public House celebrates 50 years. Climate Risk Facing Insurers The wildfires in Los Angeles are on pace to rival the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in state history. And the continued threat of extreme fire behavior is straining the property insurance market. Dave Jones was the California Insurance Commissioner from 2011 to 2019 and is now the director of the Climate Risk Initiative Center at UC Berkeley School of Law. He joins Insight to discuss potential rate increases, how this impacts California’s FAIR Plan - which is a last resort for many property owners, as well as what can be done in the long term to make insurance affordable and available across the country. CTE in Spotlight at Pro Football Hall of Fame The brain disorder CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) is a focus in this year’s Pro Football Hall of Fame . Voters will decide whether former Kansas City Chiefs great Jim Tyrer should receive the honor posthumously. In 1980, Tyrer was removed as a Hall of Fame candidate after he killed his wife in a murder-suicide. Decades later, many believe - including Tyrer’s children and in-laws - that he suffered from a severe case of CTE. Kevin Patrick Allen is a former journalist and filmmaker behind the documentary A Good Man - The Jim Tyrer Story and joins us with more about what this Hall of Fame vote signals about CTE awareness in football and contact sports.
