    Feb 5 2025

    Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider

    President Trump proposes United States takeover of Gaza Strip President Donald Trump has proposed that the United States takes control over the Gaza Strip, later saying that the U.S. could make Gaza “the Riviera of the Middle East.” What could this kind of proposal do to relations in the Middle East? What about with America’s allies who don’t like this idea? Dr. Austin Knuppe, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Dr. Jeannie Johnson, Professor of Political Science and Founding Director of the Center for Anticipatory Intelligence at Utah State University join our conversation. FBI agents suing DOJ over information release on Jan. 6 investigations, cases It’s quite an interesting situation -- FBI agents are suing the Department of Justice, hoping to block the release of information on those who worked on January 6 cases. The worry is that President Trump could seek retaliatory measures against the agents who aided in the investigation and prosecution of the President. Inside Sources shares updates on the situation. On the Hill 2025: Adding restrictions on political advertisements Ask virtually anyone – election and candidate advertising can get pretty ridiculous, especially during election season. State Representative Sahara Hayes is running a bill that would make changes to political advertising restrictions, specifically on social media. She joins Inside Sources to talk more about it. On the Hill 2025: Legislation that would address electricity rates Another bill on Utah’s Capitol Hill addresses electricity rates here in the Beehive States. State Representative Carl Albrecht is proposing changes to public utility regulation in the state, specifically looking at electricity and a "balancing account" owned by Rocky Mountain Power. He joins the show to explain more about the motivations behind the bill. Democrats release plans to push back on Pres. Trump’s agenda With the narrow majority Republicans have in the House, they're bound to need Democratic support to get things through. But will Democrats help? It doesn't look like it... That is, unless Republicans are willing to make concessions to the other side. Do Congressional Democrats have enough leverage against Republicans right now? Listen to hear thoughts from Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan. On the Hill 2025: New requirements for civics education in Utah Have you ever taken the U.S. Naturalization Test? How’d you do? Or if you haven’t taken one, how do you think you’d do? Turns out most Americans -- 2/3 of them -- could NOT pass the naturalization test; the same test we require immigrants to take as they work towards becoming citizens. A Utah State Representative says that's unacceptable, and he wants to change that number beginning with Utah's youth. State Rep. Doug Welton explains his proposal to the Inside Sources hosts. Debating the price of eggs Eggs... they seem to have gotten more and more expensive. Are you fed up with the price of eggs today? If so, you’ll want to listen to Erin’s side of things during this segment. Or do you not really care or notice the price of eggs? If so, you’ll probably side with Taylor. Either way, listen to this lively discussion!
