Hosts: Erin Rider and Rusty Cannon  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. 

Hosts: Erin Rider and Rusty Cannon  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: 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.

As stock market uncertainty continues, Dave and Debbie listen in to what is happening during President Trump's cabinet meeting.

If you've bounced a payment in your checking account and forked out a 35-dollar overdraft fee, stay tuned -- we have some more bad news for you ...The House voted Wednesday night to overturn regulation from the Biden administration limiting banking overdraft fees to $5. The argument against the regulation was that it stifled competition in banking and would force them to stop offering overdraft protection entirely. We discuss this regulation and how it affects the average Utahn who is living paycheck to paycheck.
