Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Marty Carpenter The focus for the first 100 days of President Trump's second administration has been on the economy and tariffs and leaked group chats about national security... but there are other things going on as well. Some of those things we aren't hearing as much about are coming from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Erin Rider Pres.

Latest Ukraine-Russia ceasefire proposal released The latest plan for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine has been released.

The Inside Sources hosts give their hot takes on the story. Pres.

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Guest Host Emily Lockhart While China continues to ramp up and develop its own AI and technology, the United States stands in a unique position that could result in either technological growth or collapse.
