Gov. Newsom-DeSantis Debate Analysis
Last week’s Newsom-DeSantis debate had its fair share of memorable moments and one-liners. Each side believed they made their case for the future of their party and the country. We are going to take a closer look, beyond the soundbites, at what the debate accomplished through a California lens, what it means for Governor Newsom and if California politics are the future direction of the United States. Two long-time Sacramento political veterans, Republican Rob Stutzman and Democrat Robin Swanson, join Insight to discuss the Newsom-DeSantis debate and how it will shape the upcoming race in 2024 and beyond.
Barbershops Host Free Therapy Sessions
Sacramento barbershops are hosting free therapy sessions targeted towards Black men and reducing the stigma of mental health. The program is called “Cut to the Chase” and it's hosted by the Greater Sacramento Urban League. The events help foster a sense of community, support and understanding among attendees– ultimately empowering them to address their mental health needs. Greater Sacramento Urban League Chief Impact Officer Dr. Troy M. Williams and Senior Director of Partnerships Ronnie Cobb join Insight to discuss the program. Meetups are held in north and south Sacramento from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Tapers Barber Shop & Salon at 3310 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd on the first Thursday of the month, as well as at Five Starr Fades at 1332 Del Paso Blvd on the second Thursday of the month.
