California agriculture sits at the center of some of the state's most important policy debates—water supply, infrastructure, energy, and the future of farming. Those issues took center stage on the latest AgNet News Hour, where host Nick “The AgMeter” Papagni spoke with several key voices shaping the conversation. From a potential shake-up in California's natural resources leadership to a deep dive into the history of the state's water system, the program explored both the challenges and potential solutions facing farmers today. Steve Hilton Names John Duarte for Natural Resources Role One of the biggest stories discussed during the show was a press conference announcing that gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton plans to appoint John Duarte of Duarte Nursery as California's Secretary of Natural Resources if elected. Papagni attended the announcement near Millerton Lake and asked Hilton about the state's energy challenges, particularly the impact of regulations on California's oil and gas industry. Hilton argued that current policies have forced the state to import a large percentage of its oil and natural gas and said leadership changes could help restore domestic energy production. Following the announcement, Papagni spoke with Duarte about his vision for California's water future. Duarte emphasized what he calls a return to “water abundance”—ensuring that farms, cities, and households all have reliable water supplies. His approach includes better reservoir management, expanded infrastructure, and the use of long-range weather forecasting tools that could allow water managers to predict rainfall totals months earlier. He also highlighted ideas such as dredging the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta to improve water flow, strengthen levees, and help maintain colder water for fish while still improving water delivery reliability. According to Duarte, improving water infrastructure and planning could allow California to support both environmental needs and agricultural production. Fire Ant Control for Orchard Growers The episode also included a CLS Fire Ant Friday segment with Josh McGill speaking to John Mays of Central Life Sciences. They discussed Extinguish® Professional Fire Ant Bait, a product that uses an insect growth regulator to disrupt the fire ant colony by targeting the queen's ability to reproduce. Mays explained that ants carry the bait back to the colony, where it gradually collapses the population. For almond growers, the optimal application window typically falls between May and July when ants are actively foraging. Understanding the History of California Water The second half of the show featured a detailed conversation with Jeffrey Vanden Heuvel of the Milk Producers Council, who walked listeners through the history of California's water system. Vanden Heuvel explained how early agricultural development in the 1800s eventually led to massive infrastructure projects like the Central Valley Project and State Water Project, which created reservoirs, canals, and pumping systems that allowed agriculture to flourish across the Central Valley. These projects helped create more than seven million acres of irrigated farmland producing hundreds of different crops. However, environmental regulations beginning in the 1970s and increased reliance on groundwater have significantly reshaped the state's water system. Vanden Heuvel also discussed the impact of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) and how groundwater regulation could change farming across the San Joaquin Valley. More to Come in Part Two Papagni noted that the discussion with Vanden Heuvel is only the beginning. A second installment of the interview will explore potential solutions for California's water challenges and what they could mean for the future of agriculture. To hear the full interviews, deeper analysis, and the complete discussion, listen to the entire episode of the AgNet News Hour.

The March 5 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured a wide-ranging interview with Steve Hilton, a candidate for governor of California who says the state is at a turning point. Speaking with hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill, Hilton outlined his vision for rebuilding California's economy, restoring support for agriculture, and reversing policies he says are driving businesses and farms out of the state. Hilton argued that California's biggest problem is excessive government spending combined with overregulation. According to him, the state budget has nearly doubled in recent years, while results for residents and businesses continue to decline. He says his approach would focus on reducing bureaucracy, cutting wasteful spending, and building a leadership team capable of implementing meaningful reforms across state agencies. Agriculture played a central role in the discussion. Hilton said California farmers are being suffocated by regulations, permits, and environmental rules that make it difficult to operate profitably. He pledged to streamline regulations and reduce duplicative government oversight that currently exists across multiple agencies. Hilton also emphasized the importance of strengthening partnerships with federal leadership to improve policy coordination on water, energy, and infrastructure issues that impact agriculture. Water policy remains one of the most pressing concerns for farmers in the Central Valley. Hilton said increased water deliveries to agriculture could be achieved immediately by reversing certain regulatory decisions that restrict water flows for environmental purposes. In addition, he supports expanding long-discussed infrastructure projects such as Sites Reservoir and raising Shasta Dam, both of which could significantly increase water storage capacity for California agriculture. Energy policy also surfaced as a major issue. Hilton criticized California's reliance on imported oil while limiting domestic production. He argued that producing more energy within the state would lower costs, protect jobs, and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers. The same regulatory reforms he proposes for agriculture, he said, should also apply to energy producers and other industries struggling under California's current policies. Another area of concern discussed on the program was innovation in agriculture. Hilton pointed to emerging technologies such as automation and robotics that could improve efficiency and address labor challenges. However, he noted that California regulations often prevent farmers from adopting technologies that are already being used successfully in other states. Throughout the interview, Hilton emphasized that California has the natural resources, farmland, and talent needed to lead the nation in agriculture, energy, and innovation. The challenge, he said, is restoring common-sense leadership and removing policies that limit the state's economic potential. For farmers across California, Hilton's message was simple: support is on the way if the state embraces policies that prioritize food production, economic growth, and responsible resource management.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, history is repeating dangerous patterns from the 1930s, when advanced Germany descended into Nazism and mass murder through citizen denial, weak politicians' acquiescence, and failure to take threats seriously. Today, Tucker Carlson is echoing Goebbels-style propaganda, siding with Iran and Putin against America while pretending patriotism. Why aren't top Republicans throughout Washington calling out Carlson. They need to stop whispering about him and speak openly and publicly. The same goes for too many in the media, some of which promote him and some of which field his leaks. Also, how does diplomacy work with a hostile regime that prefers war, terrorism, and has killed over a thousand Americans while maiming tens of thousands? Iran cannot be trusted and any progress in talks or deal is meaningless since the regime will not uphold agreements. Later, Steve Hilton calls in and discusses his run for California Governor. California has failed after 16 years of one-party Democrat rule. The state has the highest poverty rate, highest unemployment, and highest cost of living - it's time for change. Finally, Mark Penn calls in and praises President Trump's State of the Union speech as exceptionally powerful, with its effective storytelling, patriotic rhetoric, and emotional-policy blend - contrasting it with past speeches like Bill Clinton's. He also explained that the Democrats appearing to win by losing amid widespread voter unease with the economy and both parties. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What a wild discussion with Katy Grimes, Editor in Chief of the California Globe. We had a great discussion about the corruption, incompetence, and the future of California. We need more leaders like Katy to take a stance and try to save California and stop the madness.I asked her some tough questions, and she brought the insights only like a true reporter could. We need to fight to save California, and it is worth saving. We talked about other guests who have been on the Energy News Beat podcast, like Steve Hilton and Mike Umbro, and even how Mel Gibson would fit into the Governor's race.The bottom line: California is a National Security Crisis in the making, and as the title says, "A Rogue State Threatening National Security" is a complete understatement. I had to ask, "Is Gov Newsom incompetent or corrupt?"**1. California's Energy Crisis**The discussion extensively covers California's severe energy challenges, including the shutdown of oil refineries and pipelines that have crippled the state's domestic energy production. This has forced California to become heavily dependent on imported oil and gas from countries like Russia and China. The discussion emphasizes how this isn't just a state issue—it has national security implications, particularly affecting jet fuel supplies for military installations across the western U.S.**2. Governor Newsom's Leadership and Policies**There's significant criticism of Governor Gavin Newsom's management of the state, with particular focus on his energy policies and public safety decisions. The transcript mentions controversial decisions like the release of a convicted serial abuser from prison, and suggests that Newsom's political ambitions may be taking priority over addressing California's urgent problems.Our discussion explores reform efforts through organizations like Fix California and Reform California, which are working to address voter fraud and gerrymandering. It also considers potential Republican alternatives for leadership, such as Steve Hilton, and discusses the possibility of federal intervention through agencies like the Department of Energy.**4. Broader Political and Economic Context**Katy touches on the national political divide between Democrats and Republicans, the lack of bipartisanship, and how federal policies—such as economic tools used against countries like Iran and Venezuela—have broader geopolitical implications.Check out all of Katy's great work on the California Globe https://californiaglobe.com/Connect with Katy on X @KATYSaccitizen https://x.com/KATYSaccitizenCheck out the Energy News Beat Substack: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/Check out the Energy News Beat Website: https://energynewsbeat.co/Get your CEO on the #1 Energy Podcast in the United States: https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/media/Is oil and gas right for your portfolio? https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/invest-in-oil-and-gas/

In Aurora, Illinois hundreds of students marched out of class waving Mexican flags the other day. They were protesting ICE agents. The mob of teens attacked police officers and a man holding a Trump banner. In Lake Zurich, Illinois a teenager holding a pro-ICE sign was literally punched in the face. And in another incident – a kid wearing a MAGA hat was taunted and bullied. Do you really think that middle schools and first graders are really monitoring ICE deportations? Or do you find it more plausible that teachers are using classroom time to promote anti-ICE propaganda? There is a clear and present danger in our nation’s classrooms. The Communists and the Anarchists have gotten a foothold in our nation’s education system. That’s why it’s imperative that President Trump abolish the Department of Education, bust up the teachers unions and return control of our schools back to the American people. Otherwise, we will lose the Republic. I have much more to say about this on ToddStarnes.com. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 2, 2026. 0:30 When Donald Trump floats a bold idea, the reaction is instant—and explosive. We dive into the firestorm sparked by Trump’s comments about potentially nationalizing elections in states with broken systems, and the predictable cries of “dictator” and “authoritarian” that followed. But instead of panic, we slow things down and walk through the real constitutional, legal, and practical questions around election integrity, federal authority, and states’ rights. From Article I, Section 4, to the Equal Protection Clause, to the long-standing warnings in the Federalist Papers, this is a serious, clear-eyed discussion about voter fraud, mail-in ballots, and whether a nation that truly trusts its elections should be afraid to have this debate at all. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US is once again in a partial government shutdown. Last week, Democrats in the US Senate refused to pass a series of remaining funding bills that had previously been passed by Republicans in the House. The CEO of the nonprofit Abundant Blessings in Los Angeles has been arrested for fraud.First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said Alexander Soofer took $23 million of tax payer money ment to benefit homeless people in southern California and spent it instead on a lavish lifestyle with expensive vacations, a Range Rover, and designer clothes. Texas Democrat Taylor Rehmet beat Republican Leigh Wambsganss in a special election over the weekend for a Texas State Senate Seat. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Google search isn’t just getting worse by accident—it may be by design. We unpack explosive claims that Google deliberately degraded its search results to force users to search more often, rack up more ad views, and boost profits after hitting market saturation. Drawing on DOJ lawsuit memos, internal Google power struggles, and the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT and alternatives like DuckDuckGo, the conversation digs into Big Tech arrogance, antitrust concerns, and why users are quietly abandoning traditional search. From “don’t be evil” to profit-first search manipulation, this is a blunt look at how Google may have broken its own product—and why people are finally noticing. 16:00 Did the Grammys turn into a night of hypocrisy and virtue signaling? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson break down what they saw at the Grammy Awards—from nauseating fashion and celebrity grandstanding to public shots at ICE and the on-air bashing of Nicki Minaj. We dive into Hollywood double standards, cancel culture, and why Minaj’s faith, resilience, and clapback resonated with so many viewers. The Mamas also contrast Jelly Roll’s bold Christian testimony with what they describe as darker, more provocative performances, framing the night as a snapshot of a larger cultural and spiritual battle. It’s a no-holds-barred take on the Grammys, celebrity hypocrisy, and why standing firm in faith matters more than ever. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. We break down why the First Amendment is not a shield for trespassing, disrupting worship, or breaking the law, dismantling celebrity outrage over so-called “journalistic rights” in the wake of Grammy-era protests. From Don Lemon to Hollywood activists, there is no special exemption from criminal law just because a camera is rolling. The conversation then pivots to California’s future with an in-depth interview featuring Steve Hilton, Republican candidate for governor. Hilton, an immigrant who fled the legacy of European socialism, lays out a stark indictment of one-party Democratic rule, soaring costs, crushing regulations, and mass exodus from the Golden State. Framing California as the epicenter of far-left extremism with national consequences, Hilton makes the case for restoring common sense, economic freedom, and constitutional order—warning that this race could determine not just California’s fate, but America’s direction. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

We break down how illegal immigration dropped to historic lows under Trump, only to explode under Biden as enforcement collapsed and asylum law was fundamentally twisted. The result wasn’t compassion, but chaos: a system flipped on its head, overwhelmed communities, and an asylum process so diluted that over 95% of claims ultimately fail. Abusing asylum doesn’t just undermine immigration law—it erodes the rights of Americans and destroys a tool meant to protect the truly persecuted. 35:30 A landmark $2 million jury verdict could reshape the national debate over so-called gender-affirming care for minors, and it's a Bright Spot. A New York jury—yes, in a deep blue state—held a doctor and psychiatrist accountable for approving and performing a double mastectomy on a 16-year-old girl who later detransitioned and says the irreversible procedure harmed her. This historic transgender medical malpractice verdict sends a clear message: doctors are not above accountability, especially when children and permanent surgeries are involved. After years of rushed evaluations, skipped safeguards, and the misuse of mental-health diagnoses to justify irreversible interventions, this ruling is a turning point—one that puts child protection, medical standards of care, and biological reality back at the center of the conversation. 40:00 Accountability suddenly got real. We react to reports that Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee after Congress threatened criminal contempt over their refusal to cooperate. At issue: what the Clintons know about the Epstein files—and why they initially declined to show up. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with a halftime show that will make you say, "Whoa!" Turning Point USA is taking on the Super Bowl halftime show—and doing it their own way. In response to the NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny, TPUSA announced an alternative “All-American Halftime Show” featuring Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett.

On this episode of the podcast, Southern Californian surfer turned comedian Jonathan Wayne Freeman discussed his viral video about his son's pediatrician appointment, highlighting the absurdity of minors managing their own health information. He criticized the state's policies on gender identity and vaccinations. Freeman expressed skepticism about the impact of polls showing Sheriff Bianco and Steve Hilton's popularity, noting the lack of conservative voter turnout. He praised Spencer Pratt's strategic nature as he runs for Los Angeles Mayor, but rightfully questioned his political stance. Freeman also addressed the impact of illegal immigration on resources, emphasizing the strain on emergency services and the need for better management. He stressed the importance of Californians staying engaged in politics despite the lopsided state.You can follow Jonathan Wayne Freeman on Instagram by searching for his handle: @jonathanwaynefreeman.

Author, entrepreneur, and Fox News contributor Steve Hilton says he's running for California governor to address the housing crisis, high taxes and the “staggering incompetence of Democrat one-party rule." He's not embracing the Republican label, instead calling his campaign nonpartisan. Born in the United Kingdom to Hungarian parents who fled communism, Hilton worked in politics, advertising, and business before becoming head of strategy for former British Prime Minister David Cameron. But he's probably best known in the United States for hosting the Fox News Channel show “The Next Revolution.” His books include Good Business: Your World Needs You and More Human: Designing a World Where People Come First. Hilton joins Commonwealth Club World Affairs as part of our “Race for Governor 2026” series of candidate forums.
