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
4/10/2025
Hosts: Erin Rider and Rusty Cannon
Budget blueprint for Trump’s agenda passes U.S. House
Today, 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 fees
Shortly 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 Barrett
Ardent 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 tariffs
Round 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’ bill
Labor 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 protections
Utah 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.

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Taylor Morgan
Trump announces 90-day pause on tariff plan
Earlier today President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on the new tariffs. The stock market roller coaster is over... for now. Taylor and Adam break down whether this was Trump’s plan in the first place, or if it was a reaction to the public outrage.
What’s next for the Trump administration?
Following the 90-day pause on tariffs, what does the Trump administration do next? How do they move forward on these eggshells? Scott Condie, Associate Professor of Economics at BYU, joins the show to discuss some of the steps the Trump administration could take in the next 90 days. Adam and Taylor share their thoughts on what could be on the horizon.
Will the tariffs help Republicans in the midterm elections?
At the National Republican Committee fundraiser Tuesday night, President Donald Trump said that the new tariffs would be good for Republicans in the midterm elections. Taylor and Adam discuss how voters might view the Trump administration’s plan for tariffs and how the 90-day pause could affect what happens.
Judges stop deportation of 5 Venezuelans
Federal judges in New York and Texas took legal action today to block the government from moving five Venezuelans out of the country until they can fight the government's attempt to remove them under a law that gives the president the power to imprison and deport noncitizens in times of war. The Alien Enemies Act has only been used three times in the past: The War of 1812, WWI and WWII. Taylor and Adam look at the processes the Trump administration and the federal courts are going through to for these deportations.
Republican governors on the same page with budget resolution
22 Republican governor’s sent President Trump a letter on Tuesday in support of the Senate’s budget resolution. Utah governor Spencer Cox was among those who signed the letter. The White House hosted a meeting Tuesday afternoon to try and convince House Republicans to flip their votes. Adam and Taylor break down the interactions between the two sides.
University of Utah President accused of being “authoritarian”
University of Utah President, Taylor Randall is being accused of being “draconian” and “authoritarian” after he sent out a memo last month calling for a review of all campus policies to make sure they adequately limit the authority of professors. This is part of ongoing tensions between faculty and the president over who has power at a public university. Taylor and Adam discuss some of the steps that led to this accusation.
How coal executive order is going to affect energy in Utah
Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday to delay closure of some coal-fired power plants and end the federal moratorium on coal leases. Coal remains a component of the U.S. energy portfolio and in Utah, the state derives 46% of its net electricity generation from coal. That is down from 75% in 2015. Brian Somers, President of the Utah Mining Association, joins the Adam and Taylor to discuss what this new executive order means for Utah.
Real ID is FINALLY coming to an airport near you
We're less than one month away from the Real ID deadline (May. 7). That means you have to have a physical ID when you go through the airport. The question remains... are they going to follow through this time? The movement started back in 2005! Taylor and Adam break down some of the pros and cons of this new initiative.

Inside Sources Full Show April 8th, 2025: SCOTUS rulings for Trump, Tariff negotiations, Utah as an example for the nation
4/8/2025
Hosts: Erin Rider and Andy Cupp
SCOTUS rules in favor of Pres. Trump over Alien Enemies Act
President 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 workers
More 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 tariffs
Will 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. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke of wanting to implement a similar ban on fluoride in drinking water – something Utah passed during the legislative session – and make it nationwide. Erin and Andy talk about the growing status of Utah in national politics.
Opinion: Utah will continue trend of cutting taxes
During 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 Canada
Governor 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. In fact, Canada's Fraser Institute has identified Utah as not one of the most -- but as THE MOST -- attractive location for mining investment. 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 extinction
It may sound a little Jurassic Park, and it sort of is. Scientists, using DNA from teeth and bones, say they’ve been able to bring back the extinct dire wolf. Erin and Andy finish the show discussing the potential ethical implications of such a move.
