Hosts: Greg Skordas and Adam Gardiner Supreme Court rules on Amendment D; what’s next for Amendments A, B, and C?Now that the Supreme Court has sided with the 3rd District Court regarding Amendment D, it will no longer be counted on the November ballot. Is that the end of the story, or is there anything else that could happen? Part of the reason Amendment D was struck down was over a deadline for publishing the amendment in newspapers around the state. That same thing would apply to Amendments A, B, and C, so are they automatically dead in the water? KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas explains the future of the four amendments on this election’s ballot. NYC Mayor indicted on charges of corruption, bribery, wire fraudMayor Eric Adams of New York City has been indicted on several charges of corruption, bribery, and wire fraud.

We catch listeners up on the latest politicians to undergo investigations over misconduct. Is it legal for politicians to lie while campaigning?In campaign ads and on debate stages, we often hear politicians stretching the truth. While it might not be ethical, it turns out it’s completely legal. Why is this? Why do we allow candidates and politicians to lie and get away with it? We discuss why it’s so difficult to police what politicians say, and the negative effects that occur when we try to police them. A discussion on privacy vs. transparency for public officialsOnce again, a public records panel has sided with KSL, as the KSL Investigators continue working to get access to Attorney General Sean Reyes’ official calendar.

KSL Investigates: cell phone companies failing victims of domestic violenceVictims of domestic violence are supposed to have the ability to separate their phone service from those of their abusers, even allowing them to transfer to another provider at no cost. It’s part of the federal Safe Connections Act. A KSL Investigates analysis finds that among the six largest cell phone providers in the country, the process is slow and cumbersome, making it a burden instead of a protection. Courtney Johns, KSL Investigative Reporter joins us to break down her latest findings.

Ballots are hitting mailboxes for the UT In today's political climate, we are not doing enough for women to get elected in political positions.

Rusty and Adam discuss what the potential ramifications of these warrants are and how we hold leaders of conflict to account.    Donald Trump’s hold over the Republican Party at risk  Less than three weeks after Super Tuesday results rolled in, a new independent political action committee was created, called the Utah Reagan Caucus.

I believe Latter-day Saint women are perfect candidates for public service, and this week's guest agrees. Join me for a conversation with my vibrant and passionate friend Sui Lang Panoke, a visionary leader, social entrepreneur, and international trainer and facilitator who currently serves as Senior Vice President of Culture for Zions Bank. Sui Lang shares her background in training women and minorities for public service, and why women often bring the very type of leadership that is needed in government today.   Challenge: When women feel loved and supported, they feel empowered to lead and can create positive change. Take a moment today to think about how you can lift and support a woman around you.   Resources: BYU Studies article by Dr. Susan R.

The episode was co-produced by Brad Westwood, Chelsey Zamir, and Dr. Katherine Kitterman, with sound engineering and post-production editing from Jason T. Powers, from the Utah State Library Recording Studio. In this Speak Your Piece episode, we hear from Dr. Constance Lieber, author and historian, on her book Dr. Martha Hughes Cannon: Suffragist, Senator, Plural Wife (Signature Books 2022), with SYP host Brad Westwood, and co-host Dr. Katherine Kittermann, Utah State Historical Society's women's history coordinator. In this episode, Dr. Lieber discusses the subject of her book, Martha “Mattie” Hughes Cannon, who in 1896, became the first elected female state senator in the United States, an extraordinary accomplishment as she was elected 24 years before most women in the United States could vote. A groundbreaking late 19th-century woman, Cannon vacillated between her goals, her public ambitions, being a devout Mormon, a polygamist wife (she was the fourth of six wives), an attentive mother, and a practicing physician.  Cannon was a standout suffragist locally and nationally, a compelling writer and orator, and a pioneering public health leader for the state.In this episode, hear Drs. Lieber and Kitterman discuss a myriad of insightful details compiled by Lieber after many years of research. A statue of Dr. Hughes Cannon is slated to be installed, sometime in 2024, within the U.S. Capitol National Statuary Hall, to represent Utah,  among likenesses of prominent Americans, from across the United States.For the speakers' bios, please click here for the full show notes plus additional resources and readings. Do you have a question?
