Executive Orders and California Water | Congressman Ami Bera | Pulitzer Prize-Winning Play ‘English’ at Capital Stage


Listen Later

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 could 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.
