Lies, lies and more lies. How many lies can our institutions survive? And why are we so bad at defending those institutions? Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell are joined by a Quiet Riot favourite – Christina Pagel, a professor of operational research at UCL as well as the creator of the smash hit service to humanity that is the Trump Action Tracker. Is Britain vulnerable to the sort of institutional vandalism that Trump had visited on the US? Heck, is Britain even *more* vulnerable than the US? Talking of which, Alex and Kenny also look at the latest madness on Planet Trump and ask just how much crazier this could all get. Oh, they do mention Celebrity Traitors yet again ... but only because Prof Pagel is a fan. Honestly. ***SPONSOR US AT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*** “Justice is meant to involved a crime, finding out who did it, and prosecuting them. What Trump is doing is saying, openly: here are the people I want prosecuted, find me the crime. And the Republican politicians are cheering him on, which is really scary.” “I'm not sure whether [Proposition 50] is the right thing to do. I worry that it accelerates the degradation of norms. But given how flaccid the Democratic response has been to Trump in general, I'm just glad that someone is doing something.”  “The vandalism that is occurring to the pillars on which democracy in the US stands will tie up the system for years and is so extensive that it is hard to fight on all the fronts that have been opened.” “Without a basis of evidence, there is no evidence-based policy. Without a common framework of accepted fact, there is no rational debate. The undermining of expertise and its institutions is one of the key preconditions of authoritarianism.” “Many functions of the state - from food safety to regulation of medicines to weather forecasting - require expertise and so are allocated to dedicated bodies. Those bodies should be allowed to operate only on the facts - not on politics.

Next week, California voters will decide whether to approve Proposition 50, which would temporarily redraw Congressional district maps to favor Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections. This comes after Republican lawmakers in Texas have redrawn districts to favor their party – with Republican leaders in Indiana, North Carolina and Missouri looking to follow suit. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court appears poised to further weaken the Voting Rights Act and further fuel a “redistricting arms race.” We look at how that case, and the escalating efforts to redistrict along partisan lines, could affect election outcomes in 2026 and beyond.

Election Day is almost here, and in most of California, there's just one measure on the ballot: Proposition 50. Backed by Governor Gavin Newsom, Prop 50 aims to create more Democratic-leaning districts. It's a move to counter Texas's redistricting plans favoring Republicans. And  some heavy hitters are lining up on both sides, including former President Barack Obama, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. KQED Politics and Government Correspondent Guy Marzorati joins us to talk about some of the finer points of the ballot measure. Plus we meet vocalist and musician Khatchadour Khatchadourian. He plays an ancient double reed woodwind carved from apricot wood called the duduk that has cultural ties to Armenia. Khatchadourian is one of the few in the Bay Area who plays the instrument, and his followers call him the “Duduk Whisperer.” Our producer Elize Manoukian brings us this profile of Khatchadourian, who uses the duduk to push the boundaries of traditional Armenian music, and along the way, is helping to preserve cultural identity through sound. And we head to Altadena where the the first handful of new homes are under construction in parts of fire ravaged city. Most people won't be moving back in for several months. But some neighborhoods that were completely wiped out in the Eaton Fire are already being resettled by property owners living in trailers and RV's.

Beef Plan, Spray Tech, and AI: California Ag Eyes Relief and Reinvention

The October 24 edition of the AgNet News Hour blended policy, technology, and on-the-ground perspective to close out a packed week for California agriculture. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill opened with encouraging news for cattle producers: USDA released a multifaceted plan aimed at stabilizing the beef sector and easing price pressure on consumers. The framework focuses on three pillars—strengthening ranching's business fundamentals through disaster relief, grazing access, and risk tools; expanding processing and market transparency; and building demand while growing the domestic herd. The hosts applauded the rapid response and promised follow-up conversations with industry leaders to gauge how quickly relief could reach ranch country. From policy to practice, the show spotlighted electrostatic spray innovation with On Target Spray Systems CEO Willie Hartman. His pitch to cash-strapped growers was simple: do more with less. Hartman said their electrostatic sprayers can cut water use by roughly 80%, cover two to three times more acres per day, and use about 50% less horsepower than conventional air-blast rigs—translating to major diesel savings. The company's “try before you buy” demos and compatibility with autonomous platforms made it a natural fit at FIRA, where Hartman noted partnerships with multiple robotics firms. Policy heat flared during a FIRA panel Q&A when Papagni pressed California Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross on Proposition 50. Ross emphasized productivity, storage projects like Sites Reservoir being “closer than ever,” and the need to manage both flood and drought risk but declined to take a position on Prop 50. The exchange underscored a broader tension the show has explored all month: farmers want immediate, concrete steps that preserve rural representation while long-promised water infrastructure inches forward. Rounding out the episode, University of Florida's Dr. Nathan Boyd joined from FIRA to compare Florida and California specialty crops and explain why labor is his state's defining challenge. Boyd said UF is investing heavily in agricultural AI—building an applied AI center with new state and federal support—and scouting technologies that can retrofit existing equipment, target weeds with precision, and deliver measurable ROI in hand-picked crops like strawberries and tomatoes. He also noted growing student interest in ag-tech careers, a bright spot for an industry hungry for talent. The common thread across the hour was urgency with optimism. Whether it's a national beef plan, smarter spraying that saves water and fuel, or AI that helps farmers do more with fewer hands, California ag is pushing for solutions that work now while laying the groundwork for a stronger tomorrow.

Farm City Newsday by AgNet West
Todd Snider Takes the Helm at Kern County Farm Bureau, Calls for Smarter Water Policy and Farm Advocacy

The October 21 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured Todd Snider, the newly elected president of the Kern County Farm Bureau, in a wide-ranging interview that captured the passion, perspective, and urgency driving California agriculture today. Snider, a lifelong Bakersfield resident and former national champion mountain biker, brings competitive energy to his new role. A crop insurance professional with deep roots in the community, he said his goal is to protect and promote the future of farming in one of the most productive regions in the world. “It's an honor to lead the Kern County Farm Bureau,” Snider said. “We feed the world from right here, and it's time Sacramento and Washington remember that.” Kern County is the second-largest ag-producing county in the nation, and Snider said the Farm Bureau's mission is clear — to defend agriculture against overregulation, labor challenges, and water shortages. “Farmers are producing more with less — less land, less water, more cost — and yet we're still feeding millions,” he said. “People have forgotten the labor, risk, and science it takes to grow food. We have to tell our story better.” Snider emphasized the Farm Bureau's expanding educational programs that introduce local schoolchildren to farming through Farm Days and FFA partnerships. “Kids think food comes from a grocery store,” he said. “When they visit the farm, they realize agriculture isn't just tractors and dirt — it's drones, computers, and science.” He also highlighted opportunities in modern ag careers, from data technology to accounting. “You don't have to have dirty boots to be in agriculture,” he said. On policy, Snider was blunt about Proposition 50, warning it would “destroy rural representation” by allowing redistricting power to shift to political insiders. “Voters need to do their research,” he said. “If this passes, rural California will lose its voice — and that's devastating for agriculture.” He also spoke passionately about California's water crisis, calling it “a man-made problem.” “Growers pay for 100% of their water and only get 50%,” he said. “Then in wet years, they're asked to buy the rest at a premium. Imagine what this valley would look like if we actually delivered 100% of what farmers are already paying for.” The result, he said, is 27,000 acres of almonds and grapes now fallowed in Kern County alone. “Water means jobs,” he warned. “Without it, our communities will shrink, our schools will suffer, and our economy will collapse.” Despite the challenges, Snider expressed optimism and pride in the resilience of California's farmers. “We've weathered droughts, recessions, and regulations,” he said. “Farmers are problem-solvers — we'll find a way forward, but we need leaders who understand agriculture, not just politics.” The interview closed with Snider's call for unity across county lines: “We don't just want Kern County to succeed — we want Tulare, Fresno, and the entire Central Valley to thrive. When one of us grows stronger, all of California agriculture does.”

This November, Californians are being asked to decide whether the state can redraw our congressional districts with Proposition 50.  California Democrats say Prop. 50 is their answer to pressure from President Trump on red states like Texas, which redrew its congressional maps to favor Republicans in next year's midterm elections. Opponents say it tramples on California's independent redistricting process, which voters approved more than a decade ago. This episode originally aired on Aug. 10, 2025.

Use of independent Citizens Redistricting Commission maps would resume after that date.Governor Newsom and Democrats in the legislature argue that the “Election Rigging Response Act” is a temporary, emergency proposal to counter mid-decade partisan gerrymanders underway in Texas and other red states that are designed to benefit President Trump and the Republican Party. Republicans counter that California should not return to partisan redistricting in which the party in power controls the maps.Proponents from each of the campaigns offered their arguments in a debate moderated by Rich Ehisen of Capitol Weekly and Juliet Williams of CalMatters. Rusty Hicks, Chair of the California Democratic Party represented the Yes side. Patricia Sinay of the California Citizens Redistricting Commission represented the No side.Want to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

California's Prop 50 could completely erase Republican representation in elections. The measure would hand Gov. Gavin Newsom's administration the power to redraw California's congressional districts. Supporters say the measure simply mirrors what Texas has done to strengthen Republican representation, but Hanson argues this is a blatantly partisan effort to cement Democrat control and eliminate what little Republican representation remains in California. He breaks it down on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “Gavin Newsom, moreover, when he's been asked about that, he says that he wants to punch these people. I guess he was referring to Republicans in general or the Texas Republicans in particular. He wants to ‘punch them in the mouth.'  He said he wants to punch Donald Trump in the mouth. The rhetoric is heating up but will Proposition 50 pass in a state that is 60%, in most elections, voting toward the Left or for Democrats? It probably will. And we in California who are on the conservative side will go from 17% representation—not 40%, of which reflects our actual numbers, but 17%—now to about 9% after Proposition 50 passes.”
