Hosts: Greg Skordas and Adam Gardiner  Throughout this legislative session, we’ve chatted with a few brand-new lawmakers about the issues they’re tackling during their first session.

Rep. David Martin, R-Davison. Representatives introduce plan to close revolving door from legislator to lobbyist

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Leah Murray  On the Hill 2025: Public labor union bill passes Utah Senate  House Bill 267 -- the bill banning public labor unions from collective bargaining -- has just passed the Senate. And the version that passed is the original version the House passed. Now, it's headed for the Governor's desk. Inside Sources begins with a refresher on what’s in the bill and why opposing groups say they’re against it.    Return-to-office mandate for federal workers delayed until Monday  Today, a federal judge in Massachusetts said the deadline for federal workers to either agree to go back to the office or accept a "deferred resignation" offer will be pushed until at least Monday next week. The deadline was supposed to be tonight. Nearly 2 million federal workers are affected by the mandate, including Utahns. Hosts Leah Murray and Adam Gardiner share their thoughts on the overall situation.    On the Hill 2025: Spaceport exploration committee  Space isn’t just for the Jetsons – it's becoming a reality for real people. And here in Utah, one state lawmaker doesn’t want us to get left behind. State Senator Jerry Stevenson is running a bill this legislative session that would create a spaceport exploration committee. He calls into Inside Sources to discuss the bill and what it would achieve.    On the Hill 2025: What’s it like as a new legislator on Utah’s Capitol Hill?  29 State Senators and 75 State Representatives make up the Utah Legislature. Senators serve 4-year sentences and State Representatives serve 2-year sentences. We thought it would be interesting to chat with a brand-new legislator to get their thoughts on the session thus far. State Rep. Doug Fiefia of House District 48 joins the show for this discussion.    House GOP members meet with Pres. Trump to discuss divided feelings on the budget  Tough conversations between House Republicans and President Trump this morning as they work to get on the same page with the budget. GOP Representative are still split on the number of reconciliation bills to run -- 1 or 2. House leaders met with President Trump in the hopes that he could get the party to agree on the same thing. Needless to say, it's a bit of a mess. The Inside Sources hosts break it down.    Pres. Trump’s comments on Gaza show divide between Congressional Republicans  President Trump's comments on a possible takeover continue to spark debate and concern among world leaders and those in Congress. That includes some Republicans who now say they're concerned about focusing on international stuff like this instead of "America First." Leah Murray and Adam Gardiner discuss their feelings on what the President is saying and if it holds any water.    Have Democrats changed their message in the months following the election?  Democrats have a long four years ahead of them with the Trump presidency. Things might get a little better if they see success in the 2026 midterms but either way, they're going to face a Trump administration until 2028. So, has their messaging changed at all? What about their policies? Inside Sources discuss whether Democrats have begun to change their tune.    On the Hill 2025: Legislation to protect youth sports referees  You don't need to tell us, but be honest with yourself: have you ever gotten mad at a youth sports referee? If so, Leah's got some words for you. And so does the State Legislature. A new bill – being sponsored by State Representative Jon Hawkins -- hopes to protect referees from violent parents, fans, and coaches. Inside Sources has the latest.

On September 17, 2024, the Texas Senate Health and Human Services Committee held an interim hearing on scope of practice expansion for nurse practitioners and other clinicians. In this third episode related to that hearing, Texas Medical Association (TMA) president Ray Callas MD discusses the importance of physician oversight for nonphysician practitioners and answers questions from legislators.Importantly, Dr. Callas notes that in the past, TMA was asked by legislators to 'come to the table' to collaborate with nurse practitioners and to loosen supervision as a compromise to independent practice. But complying with this request is now being used as rationale for removing oversight completely, with legislators arguing, "Well, if you don't need to be on site / can supervise multiple NPs, then are you even necessary?" Learn more! https://www.amazon.com/Imposter-Doctors-Patients-at-Risk/dp/1627344438/Support our vision of physician-led care and truth and transparency for all medical practitioners: physiciansforpatientprotection.orgPhysiciansForPatientProtection.orgPhysiciansForPatientProtection.org
