Former legislator Phil Isenberg died last week after a brief illness. Isenberg wore many hats in his life: Mayor of Sacramento, Assemblymember, Vice Chair of the Delta Stewardship Council, and husband to Marilyn Araki Isenberg. But for all that, perhaps his biggest legacy will be as a supporter of - and enthusiast for - the arts. Dan Morain covered Isenberg for decades and penned an obit for Capitol Weekly - he joined us to look at Isenberg's career and his impact on California.Plus, we discuss the governor's trip to China, the Democrats' divide over Israel/Palestine, and why an Alaskan Airlines pilot on a bum magic carpet ride might torpedo a Scott Wiener bill.
