Seeing the Forest for the Trees

from East Bay Insiders · host Steve Tavares, Trishala Vinnakota, Justin Berton

Steve Tavares and Trishala Vinnakota welcome back Justin Berton to break down the week in East Bay politics and why our mothers are so great. Happy Mother's Day! We recap the first-ever East Bay Insiders SD10 debate, including standout performances from Anne Kepner and David Cohen, sharp insights on housing and AI, and why Scott Sakakihara largely escaped scrutiny over his Palantir ties. Why is the open CA14 congressional race so boring? The inside story behind a last-minute canceled debate, while the panel also digs into the governor's race, Xavier Becerra's momentum, Matt Mahan and Katie Porter's struggles. And finally, we debate whether Oakland's new City Council majority is trying to change the city's anything-goes reputation after approving a $915,000 fine for illegally cutting down 38 trees, and is it a turning point?
