Americans are drinking less wine, but growers say there's another reason demand is down for California grapes. It's a law that allows U.S. wineries to include cheaper imported wines in products labeled as American. On Tuesday, the State Senate will vote on a bill sponsored by California grape growers that aims to close that international blending loophole.

While there's been plenty of coverage of the gubernatorial, congressional, and U.S. Senate primaries, smaller but equally important battles are also being fought in Denver – like the race to represent Colorado Senate District 34 (a seat currently held by Julie Gonzales). Two Democrats are vying to represent the downtown and northwest Denver district: Andrés Carrera and Chela Garcia Irlando. They engaged in a heated forum last week on stage at Su Teatro, with our producer Paul Karolyi moderating. With the primary election just eight days away, we're sharing this live recording of Carrera and Garcia Irlando, who fiercely debated everything from data centers and the city's handling of the migrant crisis to RTD's budget issues and the role of dark money in this very race. A quick clarification on the “dark money” exchange: After the forum, Conservation Colorado Victory Fund reached out to let us know that they had reported spending on the mailers Paul mentioned, but that the secretary of state's office had not yet updated its database at the time of the forum. For more, the Colorado Sun reported last Thursday a breakdown of all the spending from groups that don't disclose their donors in support of candidates in state legislature races, including SD34.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.

Today's episode includes a conversation with State Representative Christine Barber about her campaign for State Senate.

U.S. sources have confirmed to NTD that the United States and Iran have agreed to a 60-day extension of the ceasefire and are now awaiting President Donald Trump's approval.This comes after the United States launched self-defensive strikes against the Iranian regime earlier this week.The Treasury Department imposed new sanctions on Iran's oil trade on Thursday, with the Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioning eight vessels carrying Iranian crude oil and petroleum products, plus more than 15 entities that help move and sell the oil.Blue Origin's New Gen rocket erupted in flames in Florida on Thursday night, during a routine engine test on the launch pad.The incident occurred around 9 p.m. at Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 36 as the rocket was being prepared for a static-fire of its seven engines. Blue Origin says no one was injured and all personnel are accounted for.It is not yet clear what caused the explosion or how much damage the pad sustained, with founder Jeff Bezos saying the company will investigate and rebuild as needed.The Louisiana State House on Thursday approved a new congressional map that will eliminate one of two majority-black districts. The State Senate could vote on it as early as Friday.This new map comes after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found Louisiana relied too heavily on race when drawing its previous map. The new map carves up the 6th district, making it more favorable to Republicans. If the new map is approved, Democrat Cleo Fields will likely lose his U.S. House seat.

May 23, 2026, 8 AM; Clyburn is South Carolina's only Black member of the U.S. House and one of the most influential voices in congress and the Democratic party, and this move would further dilute Black voting power in the state for potentially decades. The new map still has to get through the State Senate, which yesterday failed to secure enough votes to finalize it before early voting begins Tuesday in South Carolina's primary election. Some Republicans don't seem to be totally on board with five of them joining Democrats in opposing a rushed process. Fmr. Rep. Joe Cunningham and Adam Serwer join The Weekend to discuss the latest redistricting efforts by the GOP in that state.

Today, we continue our focus on the race for the State Senate seat in District 26, currently held by Maria Elena Durazo, who is termed out of office.District 26 is a dense, urban district centered in Los Angeles, including Downtown LA, Boyle Heights, Echo Park, and surrounding neighborhoods. It's home to largely Latino and immigrant communities, with a mix of working-class families and renters, and it sits at the center of many of the city's biggest challenges — from housing affordability and homelessness to economic inequality and access to public services.Today's guest is Wendy Carrillo, a member of the California State Assembly.Carrillo represented the 52nd Assembly District from 2017 to 2024, covering much of Northeast Los Angeles. Before entering elected office, she worked as a journalist and communications professional, and has long been active in immigrant rights and community advocacy.In the legislature, she worked on issues including housing, labor, and immigrant protections, and has been part of broader debates in Sacramento over affordability and the cost of living.She's now running for State Senate in a competitive race to succeed Durazo. And in this conversation, we also talk about something more personal — her experience with sobriety and recovery, and how that has shaped her life and approach to public service.What's Next, Los Angeles? is produced and hosted by Mike Bonin, in partnership with LA Forward.

A major redistricting push in South Carolina moves from the House to the Senate after a vote to extend the legislative session sparks political tension. Lawmakers are now divided over whether to redraw congressional maps following a court ruling tied to constitutional concerns. With competing map proposals, procedural disputes, and national implications tied to congressional balance, the debate now centers on whether lawmakers will even allow a full floor discussion before the session deadline.

Also this week, AIPAC announced it's doubling-down on Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens in the Democratic Primary Race for the state's open Senate seat.

Overnight in Indiana ,Trump showed the grasp he still has over the Republican Party where the candidates he'd endorsed for the State Senate won their primaries against the moderate Republicans that had stood up to his attempts to gerrymander.It's remarkable in itself that Trump was at all invested in the races - these are local politicians earning $33,000 a year - and yet his influence proved key. What does this tell us about how the midterms will play out? Meanwhile, Marco Rubio has announced the end of the Iran war as if it were obvious to all of us. Are we about to see some actual progress in the conflict in the Middle East? A peace deal? An actual signed contract? Or is Trump just playing for time before his next big stunt?The News Agents is a Global Production.The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

The American system is under a coordinated assault by a "political cartel" that has abandoned the rule of law in favor of a radical, partisan agenda. From the bench of the Supreme Court to local school board meetings, the infrastructure of our nation is being dismantled. This episode pulls back the curtain on the blatant double standards of the judiciary—where J6 defendants are treated as subhuman while those who threaten the life of a President are met with apologies from activist judges. We dive deep into the decay of Colorado and Illinois, where elected officials are more concerned with doxing federal agents and protecting squatters than securing our borders or upholding the sanctity of the vote.The frontline of this battle has moved into the classroom, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Guest Erin Lee, founder of Protect Kids Colorado, joins us to share her harrowing firsthand account of how the public school system attempted to secretly transition her 12-year-old daughter under the guise of an "Art Club." We examine the nationwide trend of "secret transitions" and state-sponsored grooming, questioning why taxpayer funds continue to flow into districts that explicitly coach children to lie to their parents. It is a raw look at the legislative fight to reclaim parental rights through ballot initiatives like the Children Are Not For Sale Act and the Protect Girls' Sports Act.We conclude by dismantling the absurdity of modern "inclusive" ideology and the gaslighting of the American public. From "Muslim-only" events in Texas to the promotion of drag queens for State Senate in California, the Left's agenda is to normalize the fringe while vilifying the foundation of Western heritage. We analyze the latest rhetoric from Ilhan Omar and the ongoing friction within the Supreme Court, where Justice Alito is firing back against the "baseless" claims of activist colleagues. This isn't just a political debate; it is a cultural rescue mission. Join us as we expose the hypocrisy and arm you with the truth needed to save the next generation from the brainwashing of the radical Left.

Theater has the power to move people to make change, and Jay Sefton is hoping to draw on that with his one-man play, “Unreconciled,” which tells his story of being sexually assaulted by a parish priest as a 13-year-old. The play is touring Pennsylvania ahead of potential action in the State Senate on two bills that would revise the state's statute of limitations for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Racquel Williams talks with Sefton and Rep. Nate Davidson, who introduced the legislation.  Then, Shara Dae Howard gets a backstage tour of the Walnut Street Theatre, hailed as America's oldest theatre. Their upcoming production of the musical “1776” looks back at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, right before its 250th anniversary.

He is also a former Assistant Attorney General, White House Fellow and Florida Senator. In 2016, Aronberg created a Sober Homes Task Force that made more than 120 arrests for patient brokering and insurance fraud in the rehab industry, and has led to several new Florida laws and regulations that have become the model for other states. Aronberg's efforts also convinced Google to restrict advertisements and improve screening for addiction treatment. The crackdown in rogue sober homes and corrupted drug treatment centers contributed to a dramatic decrease in opioid-caused deaths in Palm Beach County. Dave Aronberg was born in Miami. He attended public schools before going on to graduate with honors from Harvard College and Harvard Law School. After graduation, he worked in the litigation department of a large South Florida law firm while also working closely with Insurance Commissioner Bill Nelson to investigate European insurance companies that refused to honor World War II-era policies sold to victims of the Holocaust. In 2000, Aronberg was selected to be one of 15 White House Fellows from across the country. In this nonpartisan position, he served in two presidential administrations as a Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury Department for international money laundering, including the laundering of terrorist assets. Dave Aronberg was elected to the State Senate in 2002 as its youngest member and served until 2010. In 2010, Aronberg returned to the Florida Attorney General's Office as a Special Prosecutor for Prescription Drug Trafficking. In his role as the Attorney General's "Drug Czar," Aronberg led an anti-pill mill initiative that helped clean up the pain clinic industry and reduced the record number of people dying each day from oxycodone abuse. Aronberg is a trial skills instructor at Harvard Law School, and frequently appears on cable television as a legal commentator. He is the managing partner of Dave Aronberg Law, P.A., and a strategic partner with Capital City Consulting in West Palm Beach.
