Ken Carman and Anthony Lima get a surprise call from Chris Castellani, after the guys commented on Chris's reaction to the Detroit Tigers' meltdown loss to the Cleveland Guardians. The guys talk with Chris about his Tigers fandom, his social media videos, and the slide Detroit has taken in the race for the AL Central.
It was a rough week for Chelsea. First came a spirited but losing effort against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, followed by a truly shambolic defeat at Old Trafford to Manchester United.Manny and Simon pull no punches in their review. They call out Enzo Maresca's worst week as Chelsea manager so far, criticizing his tactical approach and some of his choices. The lads also highlight the players who let the side down against United, with Robert Sánchez's poor decision-making and costly red card top of the list.But while it was a bad week, it's not the end of the world. The hosts push back against the hysterical reaction from some pundits and fans to the end of Chelsea's strong run of form. It's football: bad weeks happen. The message is simple — onwards and upwards!
After a Week 3 loss to the Jaguars, is it time to admit the Texans might just be bad? Plus, who really had the worst week in Houston sports—the Astros or the Texans? QOTD: What are the Texans close to? (Wrong answers only).

Governor Newsom and Democratic allies announced Thursday that they will propose a constitutional amendment — The Election Rigging Response Act — to counter Texas and other Red states' mid-decade redistricting plans. Framing the proposal as a response to GOP efforts to Gerrymander and "rig" Texas' elections next year in order to protect Republican control of congress, the proposal would replace California's current congressional district maps with new maps to be used in the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections. The California's Citizens Redistricting Commission would resume mapmaking duties after the 2030 census.Our guest today is California political data and redistricting whiz Paul Mitchell, who was tasked with coming up with the new maps just two weeks ago. Mitchell described the process of drawing the new maps, why the redistricting effort was necessary, and tells us which seats will see the most changes.Plus- Who Had the Worst Week in California Politics:47 Redistricting1:58 Podcast Schedule3:31 Paul Mitchell and an intense two weeks7:14 The opposition8:16 "Can we do a 52 - zero map?"9:42 "The Commission's work is the Gold Standard"12:34 Comparison to other states' process14:55 Kevin Kiley's proposal16:44 Role of AI in redistricting20:57 There is no perfect map22:47 Which seats are in for a significant change?23:35 "Young Kim gets a great district?"26:15 "There are winners and losers"28:35 It's not about the maps - it's about the fight against Trump29:40 "It is a gross-looking district"32:08 The polling36:23 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Chris Lehane has a solid gold resume in professional politics: consultant and oppo research in the Clinton White House, Press Secretary to VP Al Gore, and the source of the report on the "vast right wing conspiracy" so infamously cited by Hillary Clinton. Lehane also handles a wide array of corporate, Labor, entertainment and sports clients. Until recently he was Head of Global Policy and Public Affairs for Airbnb, and since 2024 has been VP of Global Affairs and a member of the executive team at OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence organization based in San Francisco.

Founded in 1918, the California Manufacturers and Technology Association promotes policies designed to stimulate economic growth and create jobs. Today, CMTA represents 400 manufacturing businesses in California, which is the largest manufacturing state in the country. Heading up that operation is Lance Hastings, who began his career as a capitol staffer and has a long history with California trade associations. Hastings probably thought that the COVID pandemic would be the biggest disruptor of the state's manufacturing industry in his time, but President Trump's 'on again, off again' tariff policy may give COVID a run for its money. He joins us to talk about the state of California's manufacturing industry, tariffs, and just how long it might take to reshore production.Plus, Who Had the Worst Week in California Politics?1:50 A change in senate leadership3:12 Trump vs. Musk poll4:08 Budget funds private foster agencies4:42 The Top 100 is coming9:53 Matt Rexroad10:45 Lance Hastings12:01 California: largest manufacturing state in the country13:21 Workforce17:39 Tariffs24:52 it took 40 years to lose manufacturing - it will take at least that long to bring it back25:31 Impact of retaliatory tariffs27:47 Finding common ground with environmental advocates33:45 Cap and invest36:42 California Lowrider Holiday38:46 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Today we welcome Amy O'Gorman Jenkins, the state's preeminent cannabis lobbyist - so much so that she earned the nickname "Pot Girl" back when Gavin Newsom was still just the Lieutenant Gov. Jenkins, was one of the first lobbyists for the state's once-maligned, now coveted, cannabis industry, first when she worked out of Darius Anderson's shop, then later at her own firm, Precision Advocacy. She was lead lobbyist for the California Cannabis Industry Association for a decade, but left this year to head up new a new cannabis trade group representing the state's largest retailers, The California Cannabis Operators Association. Jenkins describes an industry in peril, with legal outlets closing, legal sales dropping, and the state's cannabis excise tax poised to go up July 1 unless the legislature acts.Plus, as always, we tell you Who Had the Worst Week in California Politics.1:42 Prop. 103 repeal?4:25 Changing the excise tax on cannabis?5:24 "A week of Lea/hs"6:19 Should Kamala Harris still be considered a frontrunner for California Governor?7:08 Polling on Democrats' attitudes8:11 Jason Sisney's Budget odds8:46 California and AI9:44 Amy O'Gorman Jenkins10:59 Origin story12:04 "Pot Girl"13:01 The change in attitude toward the cannabis industry15:02 #AB56418:03 The cannabis industry in crisis20:13 Illicit sales are still far larger than legal sales26:47 CA's cannabis excise tax is 124% higher than Michigan's27:27 Cannabis is taxed at 2.5 times the rate of tobacco and 6 times the rate of alcohol29:44 How dire is the crisis?30:51 about 68% of CA jurisdictions ban legal cannabis31:54 National cannabis legislation?33:32 "This is a heritage industry"37:53 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

In March, Assemblymember Buffy Wicks and a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a 22-bill package aimed at reforming the building permitting process in California, an effort to fast-track housing development statewide. Wicks described the package as an effort to “slash red tape, remove uncertainty and to drastically reduce the time it takes to get new housing approved and built” in California. Asm. Wicks joined us to talk about the bills, why they are needed, and what it will take to get the package to the governor's desk this year.Next up, we're joined by Port of Long Beach CEO Mario Cordero to talk about the impact of the new Trump tariffs on the nation's busiest port.

We have a packed show today: first up, we chat with California Secretary of State Shirley Weber about The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, proposed federal legislation that would require all Americans to reregister to vote, in person, with either a birth certificate or passport. Weber outlines concerns that the law would effectively disenfranchise millions of voters who may not have access to their birth certificate, and those - like many married women - whose documents no longer match their birth name. And, perhaps an even bigger problem: who pays? Counties project millions in costs to administrate, but the legislation includes no funding mandate.We also spoke with Trans activist Ebony Harper, founding executive director of California TRANScends, and the author of The Trans Manifesto. Harper shared how she is responding to the current wave of anti-Trans sentiment, her reaction to Governor Newsom's recent podcast comments, and how Coast to Coast and NPR shaped her life.Plus - Who Had the Worst Week in California Politics?1:38 Capitol Weekly Update2:13 Correction: Dan Weintraub was the first California politics blogger3:33 Big Day of Giving: May 15:49 SOS Shirley Weber on the SAVE Act6:21 "What are they trying to save?"7:25 What does it do?8:41 Disproportionately affects women11:12 The fraud problem13:11 The cost to counties15:05 Impact on Trans people16:51 Litigation?18:01 Most states see this as an obstacle19:56 Ebony Harper24:01 How do you respond to the current moment?27:55 The Trans Manifesto30:09 The governor's comments carry a lot of weight, but..34:12 Anti-Trans messaging36:13 "The same playbook"37:13 Origin Story39:18 Coast to Coast and NPR42:37 "We're still coming out every day, even though it's a hostile environment"43:24 Where is Ebony Harper in five years?45:44 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Stocks were in free fall again Friday as markets saw their worst week in years. The trade war heated up as China responded to President Trump with their own 34 percent tariffs on imported U.S. goods.

Longtime political columnist Dan Walters joins us to talk about his fifty years covering state capitol politics. Walters began covering politics in 1975 - just months after Jerry Brown was sworn in for his first term as Governor - and hasn't stopped since. He began writing his column for the Sacramento Union in 1981 and continued when he moved to the Union's crosstown rival The Sacramento Bee in 1984. He has been with CalMatters since 2017. Walters spoke with us about how the capitol has changed in the half century he has been covering it, shared his favorite Jerry Brown story, and finally came clean about how he scooped the rest of the press corp on the state Budget story, over and over again.

Claire Conlon has a long history in the capitol community. She got her start as a legislative aide in 2011, and has held a wide variety of roles since, including Press Secretary for Senate leader Kevin de León and Chief of Staff to Asm. Cottie Petrie-Norris. While building that impressive resume, she did something unusual: she left. In 2017 Conlon left the capitol, the state, and eventually the country, traveling the world for a full year - job title "Vagabond" on her Linkedin. Returning to the state in 2018, she picked up where she had left off. In 2023, she left the capitol again - this time for private industry. She is currently the Senior Director of State Government Affairs for Biocom California, where she manages and implements their state legislative policy agenda.Claire shared stories from her capitol journey and other travels, offers advice for new legislators, and talks about her new role in California's second largest industry.

Crypto derivatives exchange Bybit just became the latest victim of North Korea's elite hacking unit, the Lazarus Group. They didn't brute-force their way in. They didn't exploit some obscure vulnerability. Instead, they tricked a trusted developer, slipped in malicious code, and took off with a fortune. How did this happen?
