Inside Sources

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider Results of last night’s special elections – a good barometer of Pres. Trump’s performance? Special election races in Wisconsin and Florida were supposed to be an early barometer of President Trump's second term -- an indicator as to how the American people are feeling about the direction of the country under Trump.

Republicans won their two congressional races in Florida -- albeit by smaller margins than Trump won in those districts -- and the Democratic-backed candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court won.

Hosts: Leah Murray and Adam Gardiner White House: Maryland man wrongly deported due to “administrative error” An El Salvadorian man who’s been living in Maryland legally was deported to a prison in El Salvador due to claims he was part of a foreign gang. Now, the Trump Administration admits the deportation was due to an error, but that there’s not much they can do to get him back to the United States.

Hosts Adam Gardiner and Leah Murray share updates on this story and give their thoughts on these hasty deportations. What can we expect to see in tomorrow’s ‘Liberation Day’ Tomorrow, President Trump is set to announce a massive new round of reciprocal tariffs.

But state school board member Christina Boggess says it's not happening -- Utah's schools have found other ways to keep DEI going, and she wants it to stop. We hear her argument from earlier today and fellow Utah School Board member Sarah Reale joins us to share her point of view on the resolution and the language used in the resolution comparing DEI to communism.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon Uncertainty thrives before Wednesday’s upcoming 'Liberation Day' 'Liberation Day' -- it's what President Donald Trump is calling Wednesday, April 2nd. Why? Because it's the day, he says, when the U.S. will see a reduction in all trade imbalances. But there's still a lot of uncertainty about what will come on Liberation Day and how it'll affect the American people. Inside Sources begins with a discussion on how that uncertainty is contributing to several days of a more volatile stock market and already-raising prices. GOP Senators push back on proposal to impeach judges who rule against Trump As President Trump continues his push for federal judges who rule against him to be impeached, Senate Republicans have a warning: don't try it.

But that's not stopping House Republicans from still moving forward with plans to restrict the judiciary. The Inside Sources hosts describe the whys and hows.

Long-delayed high-speed rail project in California needs $7 Billion more For a cost of only $40 Billion, California set out to build a high-speed railway from San Francisco and Sacramento to Los Angeles.
