Inside Sources Full Show April 15th, 2025: Deportations continue, Utah ranks high for economic outlook, Liberal activists visit Utah
Hosts: Erin Rider and Guest Host Rachelle Morris
President Trump, El Salvador President say man mistakenly deported won’t be returned"We are complying with all court orders” -- That's what White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said today when asked about the Supreme Court's order for the administration to "facilitate" the return of a Maryland man mistakenly deported to an El Salvadorian prison. It comes as the President of El Salvador says he won’t return the man. The Inside Sources hosts discuss some of the nuances and how folks on both the left and the right say the courts are supporting their views with this case.Deportations of foreign students for their beliefs ramping upWhile much of the focus on deportations has been on the Maryland man mistakenly deported, there's been another large group of people facing deportation: foreign students attending U.S. universities. Last week, a judge said the government could deport a foreign national because of their beliefs. Now, it looks like that may be happening on a broader level across the country, especially among students holding pro-Palestinian views.Harvard to lose grant funding after standing up to the Trump AdministrationThere's a battle brewing between Harvard University and the Trump Administration over whether the government can tell a private entity what to do or what policies to have. The Trump administration had demanded the university change its policies surrounding DEI and pro-Palestinian movements or lose funding. The university's president basically said to ‘pound sand.’ The Inside Sources hosts share their thoughts on when it’s appropriate for the government to tell a private group what to do.Measuring Pres. Trump’s effectiveness through the number of bills he’s signedWe're nearly 100 days into President Trump's second term in the White House. His administration has said it's the most productive presidency in recent memory. But the President's only signed 5 bills so far... a far cry from what he did in his first term. And all of this while pushing out roughly 125 executive orders. It got us thinking -- is there some kind of imbalance here? Inside Sources digs into it.Utah ranks #1 for economic outlook... for the 18th year in a rowIf you've been listening to Inside Sources for quite some time, you'll recognize that we're pretty proud of our state. Sure, we have issues. But overall, Utah's a pretty darn good place to live. Now for the 18th year in a row, we're topping the charts for economic outlook. Jonathan Williams, President and Chief Economist at ALEC joins Inside Sources to talk about the report he co-authored and how Utah continues to push ahead in these rankings.Takeaways from Utah’s trade mission to CanadaMining and artificial intelligence -- we touched on both of those points last week when we spoke about Utah leaders visiting Canada for a trade mission. Now that everyone's back home in the Beehive State, we wanted to chat about the potential impacts of a closer partnership between Utah and our northerly neighbors in Canada, and what that could mean for the average Utahn. Jonathan Freedman, President and CEO of World Trade Center Utah joins the program to discuss the trip.Liberal activists Bernie Sanders, AOC receive huge welcome in UtahAs Democrats search for the message they hope will win them Congress in the midterms, the more liberal members of the party are going around hoping to get their message out front and center. Over the weekend, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rallied in Salt Lake City, taking aim at billionaires galore. The Inside Sources hosts give their thoughts on whether this is a potential winning message for Democrats.All-female Blue Origin mission: A win for women or a futile flop?Was it a giant step for womankind? Eh... maybe not. That’s how many women describe yesterday’s all-female crew on a Blue Origin mission to space. Inside Sources host Erin Rider and guest co-host Rachelle Morris finish things off sharing their thoughts on whether this publicity stunt hurts or helps women overall. -

Inside Sources Full Show April 11th, 2025: SCOTUS chimes in on deportation case, Deporting folks for their beliefs, Sen. Curtis explains recent initiatives
Hosts: Leah Murray and Greg Skordas
SCOTUS chimes in on wrongful deportation caseThe fight over the future of a Maryland man wrongly deported to an El Salvador prison continues today. Last night, the Supreme Court said the man must be returned to the United States but also said that the courts can't just tell the executive branch how to bring the man home. The Supreme Court passed the case back to the lower courts, who held a hearing earlier today. The Inside Sources discuss the latest on the case.Can non-citizens be deported for their beliefs?Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil is a legal permanent U.S. resident. But the government is trying to deport him for his alleged antisemetic beliefs. The federal government was ordered to turn over evidence to the courts explaining why they felt he should be deported; instead, they submitted a brief memo in which Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs. Can a non-citizen be deported for their beliefs? It’s a little complicated... The Inside Sources hosts explain.Senator John Curtis explains some recent initiatives with Inside SourcesEnergy dominance doesn't come without a cost. And while Congress works on the full budget and tax package, Senator John Curtis (R-UT) is asking Congressional leaders to keep some of the energy tax credits put in place by the Biden Administration. Senator Curtis is also looking at ways to fix and improve our forests -- something we here in the West are all-too-familiar with. The Senator joins the program to discuss both of these initiatives.Utah leaders hope to turn state into an AI hub following trade mission to CanadaArtificial intelligence -- it's one of the biggest buzzwords in technology right now. And in a technology-friendly state like Utah, the inclusion of AI is all but guaranteed. This week, Governor Cox and other Utah leaders have been travelling through Canada, meeting leaders in energy and AI. Now, that trade delegation is hoping to take what they learned and make Utah the next global hub of artificial intelligence.Utahns involved in Congo coup attempt now facing charges in the USYou may recall an interesting story from several months ago about a couple of Utahns being involved in an attempted coup in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Those men were imprisoned in the country and faced the death penalty... until this week. Now, they're back in the United States facing additional charges. It's a bit of a complicated situation, so KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas breaks it down.Trump administration wants more federal oversight of Columbia UniversitySchools that receive federal funding often must do certain things to keep that money (Title IX is a good example -- schools must not discriminate based on sex). But to what extent can the federal government enforce that? The Trump administration says that for Columbia University -- which was a central part of the pro-Palestinian protests last year -- to keep their funding, they need to allow more federal control and oversight.Erasing shame or erasing historyThe philosopher George Santayana said it best: "Those who forget their history are condemned to repeat it." It's been a quote used by history teachers and professors for more than 100 years, showing the importance of learning our history. But history isn't always pretty -- it can be raw, ugly, and absolutely terrible. President Trump's administration says it wants to erase the kind of shame associated with those awful events. But is that the best move... to ensure we don't repeat the atrocities of the past?Resources for people experiencing homelessnessPeople experiencing homelessness tend to face some unique challenges most of us might not think of. To help with some of these unique issues, the courts hold a kind of homeless outreach program. Greg Skordas took part in some of that this morning; he talks about it with co-host Leah Murray. -

Inside Sources Full Show April 10th, 2025: Budget blueprint passes U.S. House, The latest on Trump's tariffs, Utah consumers will soon have more protections
Hosts: Erin Rider and Rusty Cannon
Budget blueprint for Trump’s agenda passes U.S. HouseToday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that will allow for Republicans to move forward on President Trump’s agenda. Basically, it sets the stage for the “big, beautiful bill.” The vote came a day after Speaker Johnson had punted the original vote due to not having enough support; that changed overnight. The Inside Sources hosts go through the latest inclusions in the bill and chat with Representative Celeste Maloy (UT-2) about it too.U.S. House passes bills dealing with voter ID, federal district judges, and bank overdraft feesShortly after passing the budget bill this morning, the House also voted on the SAVE Act. Formally titled the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, the bill requires proof of citizenship in federal elections. It also sets standard for voter roll purges. Two other major pieces of legislation passed the House yesterday: a bill limiting the power of federal district judges to make rulings affecting national things and another overturning bank overdraft fee limits put in place by the Biden administration.Ultra conservatives attacking SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney BarrettArdent supporters of President Trump have set their sights on a Supreme Court justice you might not expect: Justice Amy Coney Barrett. While she's considered to be one of the more conservative justices -- and was nominated by President Trump in his first term -- many ultra conservatives throughout the country say that by ruling against President Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act, she is secretly some kind of liberal in disguise. Erin and Rusty share their thoughts on these claims.The latest on Pres. Trump’s tariffsRound and round and round -- it may feel a little disorienting to follow all the news of the tariffs. Markets rebounded quite a bit yesterday after the President announced a 90-day pause on most tariffs. This morning however, stocks fell again. So why did the President push pause on the plans... again? And how might the tariffs on China affect a potential TikTok sale? Inside Sources dig into both angles.Final push to repeal Utah’ ‘anti-union’ billLabor unions are working round the clock to gather enough signatures to repeal House Bill 267: Public Sector Labor Union Amendments. The bill -- you'll recall -- bans public labor unions from collective bargaining with public employers. Utah has pretty strict rules to repeal a measure on the ballot. So, will these groups be able to get it done... with just 5 days left?Utah consumers to soon have more protectionsUtah consumers will soon have more protection from deceptive companies and businesses. Senate Bill 42, sponsored by State Senator Evan Vickers, goes into effect in less than a month. KSL-TV Investigator Matt Gephardt took a deeper look at what the law will do and how it gives you -- the consumer -- more power against companies doing illegal or unethical things. -

Inside Sources Full Show April 8th, 2025: SCOTUS rulings for Trump, Tariff negotiations, Utah as an example for the nation
Hosts: Erin Rider and Andy Cupp
SCOTUS rules in favor of Pres. Trump over Alien Enemies ActPresident Trump may move forward with the deportation of Tren de Aragua gang members. That's according to a narrowly split ruling from the United States Supreme Court. But those who are set to be deported must receive due process -- they must receive notice of their deportation under the Alien Enemies Act and must also get their day in court to plead their case as to why they shouldn't be deported. The Inside Sources hosts go in-depth on the ruling.SCOTUS blocks order requiring Trump administration to reinstate fired federal workersMore confusion today for thousands of federal probationary workers recently fired by the Trump administration. A federal judge had ordered the administration to reinstate those employees, saying the process for the firings was a problem. But this morning, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed that lower court's decision. Now, the Trump Administration has the green light to move ahead with the firings and not worry about reinstating those workers.Dozens of countries looking to negotiate new tariffsWill the massive tariffs placed on foreign countries trigger negotiations and improve the trade imbalance? It's what President Trump said would happen, but economists still aren't convinced. However, there are reports now of dozens of countries already reaching out to the administration asking to renegotiate trade and tariffs. That news sent stocks hirer today. Inside Sources discusses the possible negotiations and Congress’ role in all of it.Cabinet members visit Utah – a sign of the state’s growing political influence?During their visits to Utah yesterday, three members of President Trump's Cabinet praised the state for its work along the lines of health, food, and transportation.

Erin and Andy talk about the growing status of Utah in national politics.Opinion: Utah will continue trend of cutting taxesDuring this last legislative session, the Utah state legislature prioritized giving Utahns yet another tax cut -- for the fifth year in a row. And even though the budget was looking tight, they still found a way to eliminate some taxes, including some taxes on social security benefits. Deseret News Opinion Editor Jay Evensen thinks this tax-cutting trend will continue. He joins the show to talk more about that.Utah pursuing mining partnership with CanadaGovernor Spencer Cox -- joined by state, business, and energy leaders -- continues to tour Canada this week on a mission to strengthen trade ties between the state and Canada. One thing that's been a focus of the visit so far is energy and natural resources.

Brian Somers, President of the Utah Mining Association is there on the trade mission and joins us to share some insights.Dire wolves coming back from extinctionIt may sound a little Jurassic Park, and it sort of is.
