He explains his more nuanced stance.

    Retiring at 62: Why the trend for earlier retirement is growing in popularity

    Maura and Rusty dig into President Biden’s actions for student loan forgiveness, giving some background on the legal challenges his plans have faced. They talk about the costs of college in general, and how that plays a role in their opinions of these ideas.

    Corey Astill on FTC banning noncompetes

    The Federal Trade Commission announced a new rule banning noncompete clauses nationwide, saying it will “raise worker wages, lower health care costs, and boost innovation.” Corey Astill, Vice President of Business Roundtable, gives his perspective on what this ban could mean for workers and employers. They also look into whether this rule falls under the FTC purview, if Congress needs to make these kinds of decisions, or if it should be left to the states.

    The Utah Fits All scholarship application period ends

    Maura and Rusty dig into the school voucher vs. scholarship issue, debating where tax dollars should go when it comes to education.

Maura gives her opinion on why vouchers aren’t a good idea, while Rusty examines how current tax dollars aren’t bringing in the educational success expected, and why that means it should be okay for parents to use school vouchers. 

    Could government-owned internet networks hurt taxpayers?

    Even though private network providers exist, more and more governments are getting into the internet business, building new networks around the country. Utah State Auditor John Dougall wrote an opinion piece claiming that governments should stick to essential services and stay out of the internet business. He joins the show to explain his stance, and the hosts also look at the opposing side of the issue, providing valuable insight to a complicated issue.

    Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon

    Introducing Rusty Cannon

    We have a new voice joining KSL @ Night today: Rusty Cannon. Rusty is the President of the Utah Taxpayers Association. To start off his first show, he shares a little bit about his background and explains what he does in his day job.

    Derek Miller on the future of Utah’s economy

    According to the Wall Street Journal, Salt Lake City was America’s hottest job market in 2023. Derek Miller, President and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber, joins Rusty and Taylor to discuss the future of Utah’s economy and give the latest on the International Olympic Committee’s recent visit to Salt Lake City.

    Don Stirling on Project Human Dignity

    If you think about some of the biggest issues in Utah right now, homelessness is definitely at the top of the list.

    County conventions to look forward to this weekend

    This weekend is going to be a busy one for county conventions. There’s at least 3 taking place this Saturday, including one at Davis County and one at Salt Lake County. If you’re looking for some intense political action, you have to be there. Rusty and Taylor explain the convention process and discuss what you can expect if you attend one for the first time.

    Congressman Blake Moore on how Speaker Mike Johnson’s doing

    House Speaker Mike Johnson seems to be doing a pretty decent job in Congress. What’s the “secret sauce” (as Taylor calls it) that he has that appears to be quite effective in managing what has been a very dysfunctional U.S. House of Representatives? And what’s with this new motion to vacate? Congressman Blake Moore joins the discussion.

    The controversy surrounding the FISA bill

    Sometimes things get a little hot in Washington D.C. Today is no exception because there’s been some controversy surrounding a bill that has to deal with FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act). A vote is coming up in the House on whether to reauthorize it. Rusty and Taylor give an in-depth breakdown.

    The intersection between religion and politics in Utah

    While preparing for today’s show, Taylor brought up an interesting question that sparked a discussion on the intersection between religion and politics: How can candidates communicate to voters that they share their values, without stepping too far into the realm of exploiting one’s faith?

    Are Americans getting lazier or smarter?

    We’ve been seeing a lot of news lately on proposals for 4-day work weeks, 32-hour work weeks, and the right to disconnect. It may sound like Americans are getting lazier, but are we really? Rusty and Taylor discuss.
