Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Congressman Tom McClintock Discusses California's Rising Costs, Energy Policies and Economic Future
Q: What kind of sounds do you play for this?
Williams says SkySense uses sounds developed in-house to deter birds, while operators can speak through the drone to warn thieves that they are being watched.
Congressman Tom McClintock Discusses California's Rising Costs, Energy Policies and Economic Future
Q: Tell us about SkySense, what can you do to help farming, especially there's farms all over, in the middle of the night, it's just quiet and deserted.
Williams says SkySense installs remotely operated drones on farms and monitors them to deter thieves, reducing the need to pay someone to watch a property overnight.
Congressman Tom McClintock Discusses Forest Management, California Water and the Future of Farming
Q: What do you see for 2027? Is it too early to tell, especially with this? We've got the Super El Nino where everyone's talking about.
Kuechel says warmer ocean temperatures could bring warm, wet winter conditions. Syngenta is preparing its fungicide portfolio and hopes to introduce Plinazolin technology in California in early 2027, pending registration.
Congressman Tom McClintock Discusses Forest Management, California Water and the Future of Farming
Q: You're the kings of forestry because your district is huge with forestry. You're doing such a great job battling common sense to clean up our forestry. How's that going?
McClintock describes the Tahoe Basin forest-thinning measure, saying it shortened environmental reviews, increased treated acreage and timber yields, and improved forest resilience. He says he wants similar provisions extended across the national forest system through the Farm Bill and the Fix Our Forests Act.
Steve Hilton Outlines Plans for California Agriculture Ahead of Governor's Race
Q: Pretend like I'm a first grader. Explain to me how Xavier Becerra is leading when he has no plans for California and California is broken.
Hilton's answer is that Democrats are spending far more because they are worried the state is not as safely blue as they claim. He says voters who want change can make the race competitive by turning out.
