Hosts: Rusty Cannon and Leah Murray  Republicans have a thin majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. And reports say they're nervous about losing that majority should they lose some special elections. And just before today's show, President Trump announced that he was withdrawing current U.S. Representative Elise Stefanik's nomination to be a U.N. Ambassador, saying he didn’t want to take any chances. Leah thinks Republicans are worried; Rusty disagrees. Listen to hear their conversation.

Executive Appropriations Vice Chair State Representative Walt Brooks explains who will be most affected by the cuts. 

Hosts: Greg Skordas and Guest Host Morgan Lyon Cotti  U.S. Department of Education lives to see another day The U.S. Department of Education will live to see another day.

The Executive Order was set to be signed as early as today, but a White House official confirmed the delay just a short time ago.  Tariffs on Mexico paused for another month If this feels like déjà vu, we hear you. Today, President Trump announced another month-long pause in the implementation of tariffs on Mexico. The US Commerce Secretary says it's likely that tariff relief will come to both of our neighbors. The back-and-forth of it all hasn't been good for the stock market, which relies on stability. Inside Sources discusses the instability and how it’s affecting Pres. Trump’s polling.  On the Hill 2025: Referendum coming on public labor union bill One of the most controversial bills this legislative session was House Bill 267, which banned public labor unions from being able to collective bargain with their employers. Now, several of those groups are banding together to launch a referendum for the ballot, seeking to repeal the bill. Hosts Greg Skordas and Morgan Lyon Cotti discuss the potential success or failure of the movement.  On the Hill 2025: Expanding access to Utah’s state parks With so much talk of cuts to the federal workforce -- including park and forest service officers -- it's brought up questions of how the state can step in to promote our own state parks. State Rep. Doug Welton is pushing a bill that would expand accessibility access in Utah's State Parks, hoping to make it easier for everyone to enjoy the outdoors. He joins the show to talk more about his bill.  On the Hill 2025: Several tax cuts coming to Utah families Utahns will soon see several tax cuts thanks to the state legislature.

Executive Appropriations Vice Chair State Representative Walt Brooks explains who will be most affected by the cuts.  Pres. Trump uniting, dividing Democrats all at the same time This morning, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to censure Texas Rep. Al Green for his outbursts during President Trump's address to Congress earlier this week. 10 Democrats joined all Republicans in the vote. It's an example of how President Trump is both unifying and dividing Democrats. The Inside Sources hosts discuss the effect Trump is having on Democrats.  Effort to get more women involved in Utah politics One organization is working to get more women involved in Utah politics... but as candidates themselves. Utah's political groups have become more equal in the makeup between men and women, but the parity is getting closer. Becky Edwards, Board Member of Utah Women Run joins Inside Sources to share more.  Growing threats on federal judges nationwide Federal judges say the number of threats they're receiving is growing day-by-day.

A slim majority of Texas House members have indicated they will back House Bill 3, which creates education savings accounts that allow families to use taxpayer money for private school education. The Dallas Morning News reported that 75 Republican legislators have signed on with the bill's author, state Rep. Brad Buckley, R-Salado, to support the measure. The Texas Senate has already passed a voucher bill, though it contains different provisions. The two measures will have to be reconciled before a bill reaches Abbott's desk. The House bill has more stringent requirements based on income and whether a child has a...Article Link

Today we'll cover the headlines from around the state. Including the huge push by the House Majority to get this massive school funding bill across the finish line...only to be vetoed by the Governor. What's the endgame? We'll discuss.

Hosts: Rusty Cannon and Taylor Morgan  On the Hill 2025: Analyzing why the compromises on the labor union bill didn’t work  Saying he was disappointed that compromise didn’t work in this case, Governor Spencer Cox signed House Bill 267, which bans public labor unions from collective bargaining. This was a pretty controversial bill – one of the first this legislative session – and had several substitutes. In the end, however, those all failed and the original bill was passed. Why? The Inside Sources hosts share their thoughts.    On the Hill 2025: Updates on legislation to reinvest funds in higher education  One widely discussed bill on Capitol Hill this legislative session would change how higher education funds are distributed to certain institutions and programs. It’s a kind of reinvestment – moving funds to more impactful programs – and is part of the House Majority’s goals of improving higher education.  State Representative Karen Peterson joins to share updates on HB265 and discuss the broader state of education in Utah.     On the Hill 2025: Bill addressing the use of artificial intelligence in education  As artificial intelligence becomes easier to access, it’s called into question its role in things like education: what's the appropriate use of AI? Utah’s been leading the charge on AI legislation and rules – broadly and in other sectors – and now there’s a bill that would address AI in schools. State Representative Ariel Defay joins Inside Sources at the State Capitol to talk more about HB168.    On the Hill 2025: Additional changes to public education laws  Our special coverage of Utah’s Legislative Session continues with a look at a bill that would make several changes to public education laws. HB76: Public Education Revisions addresses a few things, including salaries for teachers, kindergarten, and early learning plans. Bill sponsor State Representative Tracy Miller joins Taylor and Rusty to discuss the specifics of the kindergarten aspects of the bill.    On the Hill 2025: New grant for rural school sports  Rural schools often face unique challenges – things that we on the Wasatch Front don’t think about. Whether it’s dealing with things like teacher recruitment or retention, or things like sports and facilities, rural schools could use some extra love. State Representative Tiara Auxier is running a new bill that would create a new grant program to help rural schools with sports; she joins the show to explain the motivations for it.    What departments will DOGE focus on next?  Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to make changes in Washington, DC... pushing for layoffs across the federal government. One of President Trump’s first executive orders eliminated DEI offices in the government, but it looks like DOGE might take that a step further, focusing on employees in offices that protect equal rights. The Inside Sources hosts discuss the latest with DOGE.    On the Hill 2025: Pulse check on the state of politics in Utah  One segment we’ve done a few times on this show involves a group discussion with both a Republican and a Democratic member of the state legislature. It’s a good way to hear different sides of things, while also showing a bit of the camaraderie that exists among Utah lawmakers even when they don’t agree. State Rep. Casey Snider and State Rep. Andrew Stoddard join the conversation on Inside Sources.    U.S. and Russian delegations make plans for peace in Ukraine... without Ukraine  Peace talks today between the United States and Russia as the two countries work to come to an agreement over Ukraine. Notably absent from the talks... Ukraine itself. The discussions have prompted concern from some of our allies, including several European countries and Ukraine itself. Inside Sources hosts Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon share their thoughts on this foreign policy move.

It’s a kind of reinvestment – moving funds to more impactful programs – and is part of the House Majority’s goals of improving higher education.  State Representative Karen Peterson joins to share updates on HB265 and discuss the broader state of education in Utah.  

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Rusty Cannon  On Inside Sources, we chat with the movers and shakers in politics. That usually involves speaking with the lawmakers themselves, but it also includes chatting with the folks in the legislators’ offices. Delaney Moss, Communications Intern for the House Majority joins Inside Sources to describe what it’s like to work at the Capitol during the legislative session. 

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Rusty Cannon  On the Hill 2025: How the attorney general’s office is working with the legislature  As the state grows and as the economy grows, the state’s attorney general’s office says it needs more resources and funding to tackle the growing number of cases they’re handling. New Attorney General Derek Brown is asking the Utah Legislature for more funding as he works to rebuild the office. He joins Inside Sources live on Capitol Hill to discuss how his office is working with lawmakers during this legislative session.    On the Hill 2025: Launching a grant program to fund ‘catalyst centers’ in Utah  How do you view success? For House Speaker Mike Schultz, it involves preparing youth to enter the workforce – and be able to sustain a good life – right out of high school. Today, he’s introducing a new bill into committee that would fund grant programs for local education agencies to create or expand Career and Technical Education (CTE) types of programs, something he believes will help Utah’s youth learn the skills they need to be successful. He joins Inside Sources to talk about it.    On the Hill 2025: Revisions to elections laws  He might be a freshman legislator but he’s not wasting any time getting to work, choosing to tackle a hot topic during the legislative session: elections. State Representative Doug Fiefia wants to speed up and clean up things on Election Day, including changing the voter registration deadline and specifying the deadlines for ballot collection. Rep. Fiefia joins us to walk us through the bill.    On the Hill 2025: Addressing law enforcement performance standards  In 2018, Utah banned police quotas. However, some law enforcement agencies still use a kind of quota system, and State Senator Todd Weiler wants that process to stop. Some agencies use quotas to make sure officers are doing their jobs – that they’re not just sitting around. Sen. Weiler is running a bill would create a new performance standard metric to ensure police officers are held to similar standards; he joins the show to explain.    Race for a reconciliation budget continues  U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson seems to be falling behind in the race to get a reconciliation package put together. Who’s in the lead? It looks like it’s the Senate – they may get the budget package created before the House. The Inside Sources hosts discuss the latest developments from over the weekend on government funding.    Impending tariffs on incoming steel, aluminum   While the general tariffs on Mexico and Canada are paused, other tariffs are moving forward. President Trump has announced his intention to impose a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum being imported into the United States. Inside Sources hosts Adam Gardiner and Rusty Cannon share their thoughts on the continued threats of tariffs.    On the Hill 2025: What’s it like as a legislative intern during the session?  On Inside Sources, we chat with the movers and shakers in politics. That usually involves speaking with the lawmakers themselves, but it also includes chatting with the folks in the legislators’ offices. Delaney Moss, Communications Intern for the House Majority joins Inside Sources to describe what it’s like to work at the Capitol during the legislative session.    DOGE sets its sights on the Department of Education  One of President Trump’s key platform issues has been the dismantling of the Department of Education. Late last week, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) went in and began taking control of the Department of Education. There’s been a lot of pushback, but is it warranted? Newly released test scores show that there might actually be quite a bit of room for improvement within the country’s education system.    

Hosts: Rusty Cannon and Leah Murray  Utah’s Legislature has a supermajority of Republicans in both the House and the Senate. This often means their priorities... take priority. State Representative Jordan Teuscher, House Rules Chair joins Inside Sources to discuss what Republicans in the House want to prioritize. He also shares some thoughts on a bill he’s working on, which would create a runoff path following the primary election.   

Hosts: Rusty Cannon and Leah Murray  What other things will the House Majority Caucus prioritize this session? State Representative Candice Pierucci, House Majority Caucus Manager joins Inside Sources to elaborate. She also explains a new bill she’s working on that would address a grey area in foreign funding during elections, putting restrictions on foreign entities spending money on ballot initiatives in Utah. 

Missouri's 2025 legislative session began a week-and-a-half ago, and new House Majority Floor Leader Alex Riley (R-Springfield) says the Missouri House will deliver on what he describes as big, conservative ideas that House Republican candidates campaigned on. Republicans have a 110-52 supermajority in the Missouri House again this year. Leader Riley joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri", telling listeners that he and House Speaker Jonathan Patterson (R-Lee's Summit) wanted to get off to a fast start. Leader Riley predicts the House will approve legislation this session that would provide tax cuts, protect the Second Amendment and legislation involving transgender issues. We also discussed heavily-traveled I-70 and I-44 during the interview. Missouri lawmakers has approved a $2.8 billion plan to rebuild and expand I-70 to six lanes across Missouri, from Wentzville to Blue Springs. They've also approved funding to three-lane I-44 in the Springfield, Joplin and Rolla areas. Leader Riley tells listeners that the state doesn't have the $10-billion to expand I-44 across the state, noting I-44 has numerous hill and more bridges that I-70:

Today’s hosts then share their thoughts on whether the accompanying public relations campaign is worth it or not.    Pres.-elect Trump’s cabinet nominees face Senate confirmation this week  Senate confirmation hearings for President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees kick off this week. The first day of hearings include Secretary of Defense nomination Pete Hegseth. Following the withdrawal of Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, Hegseth’s nomination is the most controversial. Are we likely to see any big hiccups in the confirmation process for him or anyone else?     Meta pushes artificial intelligence accounts while ending fact-checking programs  Last week, Meta announced its decision to end its so-called ‘fact-checking’ program. At the same time, Meta is growing its artificial intelligence offerings in the hopes that it’ll appeal to younger users. So it begs the question: what’s the appropriate balance in order to maintain safety and dissuade misinformation? The Inside Sources hosts go in-depth with their thoughts.

House Republicans will enter the new Congressional term with a historically low majority, controlling only 220 seats.

While December is a time of giving, it is also a time of faith and reflection.

The GOP majority in the House will be 217-to 215 Dems – for months, until special elections in April bring it up to 220. What are the odds odds that House Republicans will be 100% united when Trump sends them his key legislation? Harold Meyerson comments.Also: “Our worst enemy right now is not Trump himself, but fatalism about our ability to stop him.” That's what David Cole says – he recently stepped down as National Legal Director of the ACLU, after 8 years and hundreds of lawsuits against the first Trump administration.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they break down two bad martinis and a crazy one to kick off the week. They dig into two controversial Trump cabinet picks, a razor-thin GOP House majority, and the State Department's taxpayer-funded therapy sessions after Trump's win.First, they assess Trump's latest cabinet picks, praising Russ Vought for Office of Management and Budget and Dr. Marty Makary for the Food and Drug Administration, while expressing major concerns about Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Secretary of Labor due to her anti-Right to Work stance and Scott Bessent for Treasury, given his ties to George Soros.Next, they analyze the very narrow House Republican majority in the coming Congress, with three races still unresolved and three looming GOP vacancies. They explain why this slim margin leaves little room for defections or other unexpected setbacks over the next two years.Finally, they react to reports of the State Department hosting therapy sessions, including a "cry session," for employees struggling to cope with Trump's victory—on the taxpayers' dime. Jim calls for lefties to gain a little perspective on dealing with election results, while Greg suggests clearing out partisan bureaucrats in supposedly neutral roles.Please visit our great sponsors:Omahahttps://omahasteaks.comVisit OmahaSteaks.com and save 50% sitewide plus get an extra $30 off with promo code 3ML and a $30 reward card when you shop early.  Minimum purchase may apply.

Republicans could have three vacancies in the House carry over into the next congress and still maintain the majority with 218 seats.

Join Jim and Greg as they delve into the GOP's projected control of the House of Representatives, why Matt Gaetz is the wrong choice for Attorney General, and Sen. Bob Casey's far-fetched push to count ballots from unregistered voters.First, Jim and Greg discuss the now-confirmed GOP majority in the House of Representatives in the next Congress. All major networks project Republican control, and Rep. Mike Johnson seems to have a clear path to another term as Speaker of the House. Jim highlights how this solid footing is not only promising for the GOP's legislative plans but also dispels rumors that Johnson is about to face an internal party revolt.After a positive review of most Trump cabinet picks, Jim and Greg criticize the choice of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. They agree that reforming the Justice Department and FBI is crucial  but they also contend there are people who would be far better at that job and would not come with the enormous baggage that Gaetz brings with him. Finally, they call out Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. for his recount efforts in Pennsylvania despite trailing by more than 26,000 votes. Even worse, Casey's legal team is asking the courts to count ballots cast by unregistered voters. Casey's refusal to accept reality is an embarrassment and it also erodes the narrative that Democrats are supposedly the guardians of our democracy.

The GOP barely kept its House majority in 2022, weighed down by controversial candidates and Democratic attacks on abortion. Will Republicans keep, or even expand, their hold on the chamber? On this episode of All Things, National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC) talks through the candidates that have the best chances to flip seats from blue to red, what the GOP is doing differently on abortion this time, and Donald Trump's influence on down-ballot races. He also weighs in on the chance of a government shutdown and whether the scandal over North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson will hurt Trump or other candidates in that battleground state.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The lawmaker in charge of that effort is North Carolina Rep. Richard Hudson, chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee. Hudson sat down with Geoff Bennett to discuss the effort.

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Nicholas Boni, writer, photographer and musician based in Brooklyn, & Cea Weaver, tenant organizer with Housing Justice For All in New York, to discuss Nicholas's recent piece in Jacobin entitled "Social Housing for New York Is on the Table". Then, Sam speaks with John Samuelsen, International President of the Transport Workers Union (TWU), to discuss the prospects of a commuter rail worker strike in Boston, where they've been without a contract for over 200 days. First, Sam runs through updates on the performance of ‘uncommitted' in the Washington primary, the House voting to sort of ban TikTok, questions about more GOP testimony, Trump's legal battles, the House GOP, the Federal Judiciary Committee, US labor action, and aid for Ukraine, before parsing through the recent TikTok “ban” legislation rushed through the House. Nicholas Boni and Cea Weaver then join, diving right into the complete affordability crisis facing New York State, resulting from a lack of existing stable, affordable housing and investment into new permanent, affordable housing projects, and their solution of a Social Housing Development Authority (SHDA), a statewide tenant's rights coalition, funded and supported by the state, that would work to rezone, maintain, rehabilitate, acquire, and construct new affordable housing projects across New York State, relying on a much broader base than existing housing authorities like NYCHA, allowing for them to function on a much broader, and much more effective scale. Expanding on this, Weaver and Boni look at the SHDA as a true public-sector alternative to the speculative role of private real estate, walking through the process and legislation SHDA would rely on in their acquisition of housing and land for maintenance, rehabilitation, and construction, and the role the Authority would play in working with to take over existing housing and establish tenant-run cooperatives. After walking through some real-world lasting examples of this kind of housing infrastructure, Cea and Nicholas wrap up by assessing the current state of the fight, and what to look for moving forward. John Samuelson then joins, walking through the TWU's role representing transit workers across the US, before zooming in on the ongoing issues facing Local-2054, with active profiteering and exploitation from the French company Keolis in their management of Massachusetts' Commuter Rail, all bankrolled by the US taxpayer. After walking through the long battle between the local and Keolis in their ongoing contract negotiations, Samuelson walks through the ongoing exploitation faced by transit mechanics and coach cleaners on the South Side, and the role of the MBTA and Massachusetts DOT in allowing this brutal exploitation. Wrapping up, John Samuelson assesses the future of Local-2054's fight, and what we can do to support them. And in the Fun Half: Sam discusses the future of MR, the bad look for both Merrick Garland and the GOP that is Robert Hur's testimony, and revelations around Trump's active attempt to steal classified documents. Meffi from Texas discusses the dangers of right-wing authoritarian thugs, Sly from Staten Island on the crime-spike myth, and Angela from Alberta explores the progressive factions of Canadian news media. Candace Owens goes on in on the transvestigation of Brigitte Macron, Ken Buck leaves the GOP hanging dry as he kills their House Majority, and A from Washington dives into some context for Brett Weinstein's dishonorable discharge from academia, plus, your calls and IMs!
