Hosts: Leah Murray and Taylor Morgan   Recapping the week’s news regarding the presidential race As Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid gathers speed, much of the attention this week has been focused on who’s endorsing her and who she’ll pick as her running mate. KSL at Night hosts Leah Murray and Taylor Morgan share their thoughts on the endorsements and who’s on the short list to run alongside Harris. They also discuss the timing of all these changes; has it all been a strategic move? Listen for a recap on the week’s biggest news regarding the presidential race.   Identity politics and the effect it could have on the presidential race Many often say that in the United States, only old white men lead. With Kamala Harris officially entering the presidential race, the issues of sex, gender, and race have re-entered the political discourse. The hosts discuss what it’s like to be a woman in the political sphere, especially as it relates to the current presidential race.   Some Republican members of Congress not supportive of JD Vance for VP Under the condition of anonymity, some Republican members of Congress have spoken to the media about JD Vance. Several of them have concerns about him being on the ticket with Donald Trump, saying he doesn’t have enough experience or that he won’t help bring new people to the GOP. Utah Representative Tyler Clancy joins us to talk about why he supports Vance as the nominee.   Protecting children nationwide from the harms of social media Next week, the Senate will vote on legislation co-sponsored by Utah’s Senator Mitt Romney, the Kids Online Safety Act. This bill is designed to give children and parents more control and visibility into the kinds of things they’re seeing on social media. However, this poses a question: is this the government going too far, or not far enough? Should the government even be involved in this issue? Hosts Leah and Taylor debate their stances.   Drama surrounding the 2024 Paris Olympics Before the opening ceremony for the 2024 Olympics, scandal and drama appeared. A coach with the Canadian women’s soccer team has been dismissed following claims of spying on the New Zealand team’s practice with a drone. In addition to that scandal, arsonists attacked France’s trains ahead of the opening ceremony. We give you the latest Olympic updates.   Declining fertility rates among people younger than 50 in America A new Pew Research Center analysis found that the desire to have children is decreasing in the United States. They say the lack of desire is contributing to declining fertility rates. The analysis also found a few reasons why people younger than 50 don’t want to have children. KSL at Night producer Andy Cupp offers his opinion why he and his peers have little desire for children.   The “memeification” of politics and elections A growing trend on social media among Harris supporters is, “I understand the assignment.” What does that mean? Another one is, “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?” As Generation Z makes their way into the voting age, internet memes and sensations – a big part of social media – is making its way into the political realm. Leah and Taylor discuss the impact these trends could have on elections overall.

Some Republican members of the state House booed and walked out when two former police officers who helped protect the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot were recognized on the chamber floor.  Four more Pennsylvanians have been charged in connection to the January 6th attack. A new poll offers a snapshot of the issues on the minds of voters in the 10th Congressional District race. It shows they're largely pessimistic about the economy and their finances. Pennsylvania's 511-PA service, which gives real-time road, weather and traffic information, is getting an update A nine-year-old golden retriever who was the first dog to provide emotional support to patients full time in a Pennsylvania children's hospital, has died.  Lebanon County's first regional police force is patrolling the streets in two communities.  A former 911 dispatcher in Greene County is no longer facing prosecution for involuntary manslaughter -- based on allegations he failed to send an ambulance to the rural home of a woman who was found dead a day later of internal bleeding.  Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some Republican lawmakers, though, remain skeptical. 

In an early Tuesday session, the Senate passed a $95-billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Some Republican lawmakers are sounding the alarm, however. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) sent a memo to his GOP colleagues saying the bill contains an “impeachment time bomb” directed at a potential Trump presidency. The House is expected to vote again on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. A similar vote failed last week, but Republicans believe they now have the necessary votes to get the effort over the finish line, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise expected to return to Washington after receiving cancer treatment. Parts of the U.S. Northeast were hit by a snowstorm on Feb. 13 that canceled and delayed flights, made roads treacherous, and prompted many school districts to cancel classes or switch to remote learning. Highest snowfalls of 8 inches and possibly more in some locations are expected from the northern New York City suburbs to Connecticut, Rhode Island, and southeastern Massachusetts, according to the National Weather Service. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Governor Josh Shapiro's administration says he plans next month to propose steps toward fixing a state higher education system that's among the worst in the nation in affordability.  A Penn State professor is sharing preliminary findings from the “Elevate Pennsylvania Initiative. It's meant to maximize the impact of the $2 billion the state is getting in opioid settlement funds.  Some Republican state lawmakers are suing in federal court and challenging three executive branch actions designed to boost voter registration -- including a 2021 executive order by President Joe Biden. The state Fish and Boat Commission is investigating the deaths of hundreds of fish in York County as a fish kill incident. Another development has popped up in the case of an Amish farmer in Lancaster County -- who is facing legal trouble for selling raw milk and unregulated products because they may endanger public health.    Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some Republican senators say Minority Leader Mitch McConnell changed his tune on the Ukraine aid-border security deal.

U.S. News & World Report has released its new law school rankings after a boycott by nearly one-third of law schools and a three-week delay due to data problems. Changes in the methodology of the publication led to notable shifts among elite law schools and significant movement among many schools further down on the list. The changes increased the weight of employment outcomes and bar passage rates and reduced the weight of Law School Admission Test scores and undergraduate grade-point averages. U.S. News defended its rankings as vital sources of information for prospective students. The final rankings show Stanford Law School and Yale Law School tied at the No. 1 spot, with the University of Chicago School of Law holding steady at No. 3. The year's rankings shakeup was most apparent outside the elite schools, with 62 law schools seeing their ranks increase or decrease by double digits this year compared with 27 schools last year. Duquesne University Thomas R. Kline School of Law saw the single largest increase, moving up 40 spots to No. 89, and Florida International University College of Law was next with an increase of 38 spots to land No. 60.Revamped US News law school rankings yield major shifts | ReutersThe Biden administration's plan to cut carbon dioxide emissions from power plants aims to require the nation's coal plants and the largest gas-fired units to cut nearly all of their emissions. However, the proposed limits would apply to less than 20% of US natural gas-based power generation capacity, and utilities would have over a decade to comply with greenhouse gas caps. Some industry groups are warning the plan could force power plants to adopt costly technologies that aren't economically or technically feasible, while environmental advocates say it doesn't go far enough, and too many gas-fired plants are exempt. The EPA proposal, which aims to be finalized in 2024, would inevitably face legal and political challenges. Some Republican attorneys general who successfully battled an earlier Obama-administration plan in court are expected to mount similar challenges. The foundation of the plan is the EPA's determination that for many power plants, the "best system of emission reduction" is carbon capture technology, which is barely in commercial use at the sites today. Coal power plants could keep operating through 2040, as long as they substituted natural gas for 40% of their fuel. The EPA predicts that the industry's demand for natural gas would fall 36.8% during the same time frame. The plan would increase electricity prices by 0.24% in 2035, while unlocking up to $85 billion in climate and public health benefits through 2042. The requirements would keep as much as 617 million metric tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere through 2042, according to the government's projections.Biden's Plan to Cut Climate Pollution Spares Most Gas PlantsNew York Congressman George Santos will continue serving despite facing criminal fraud and money laundering charges. There is no law or rule stopping him from staying in Congress. Santos entered a plea of not guilty to all 13 counts in the indictment against him. If he is found guilty, Speaker Kevin McCarthy has indicated he would ask him to resign, but don't count on it. Any member of the House can offer a privileged resolution to expel a colleague, but in the past, lawmakers have waited until after their accused colleagues had their day in court. Santos has introduced 11 bills and cosponsored 82. He has filed paperwork to raise money for a re-election bid, and his campaign raised just $5,333 in this year's first quarter. If he quits, there would be a special election if there's a vacancy before July 1, 2024, and Governor Kathy Hochul would call it. New York's 3rd Congressional District backed President Joe Biden in the 2020 election by 8 percentage points.George Santos Will Stay in Congress and No Rule Stops Him (2)Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and teachers' unions are in a legal dispute over a new law that places certain restrictions on teachers' unions. Before the law, unions could collect dues directly from teacher paychecks, but now that is prohibited. The Florida Education Association believes the law violates their First Amendment rights, while DeSantis argues it is in the best interest of teachers. The law also requires unions to notify teachers of membership costs, prohibits unions from using government resources to deduct union dues directly from employee paychecks, and requires unions be made up of at least 60% of eligible employees who pay dues. If they can't hit the new benchmark, unions would have to be recertified as bargaining agents. The FEA says the law is unfairly applied because it exempts unions representing law enforcement, corrections officers, and firefighters – how strange. The suit names Donald Rubottom, the chair of the Florida Public Employees Relations Commission, as a defendant, as well as commissioners Jeff Aaron and Michael Sasso. The lawsuit is ultimately asking the courts to keep the defendants from implementing and enforcing provisions of the law, which is SB 256.New Florida law putting restrictions on teachers' unions leads to federal lawsuit against state officialsA US bankruptcy judge has blocked the NBA's Phoenix Suns from proceeding with a TV and streaming rights deal with Gray Television and Kiswe, as it violated the rights of its current broadcast partner, Diamond Sports Group. The bankrupt subsidiary of Sinclair Broadcast Group holds the contractual right to negotiate a contract extension, which the Suns' new TV deal interfered with, according to US bankruptcy law. The Suns' lawyers had argued that the team's previous deal with Diamond Sports Group had expired. Phoenix Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein has said the team would work towards “a fair resolution” that benefits its fans, community, and players. The financial terms of the Phoenix Suns' contract with Diamond Sports and Gray TV were not disclosed in bankruptcy court. Diamond broadcasts games for nearly half of all teams in the NBA, Major League Baseball, and the National Hockey League. Diamond filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March.US bankruptcy judge blocks NBA team Phoenix Suns' new TV deal | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

It's back to Ohio for Artemis 1.  At NASA It's not going to fly until it's ready. At KITM, Every Monday at T-0, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are always ready to give it a try: The Justice Department has completed an initial analysis of the boxes seized from Mar-a-Lago and separated the burger and Snickers wrappers from the stuff Donald Trump was tossing around, as he travelled around the world. Intelligence officials should have some sleepless nights as they go through things this week. For all that is good, Trump must be held to account. Judge Cannon will probably throw Donald his Special Master, once she determines nothing bad will come of it. Everyone knows Trump gave aid and comfort to terrorists here and abroad for years, but it might become a shock to his followers if he were to suddenly quit getting away with it. Lindsey Graham might start rioting in the streets. The Federalist wonders if magistrate judges haven't been unconstitutional for the last 200 years. Conservatives would rather give tax breaks to billionaires than loan forgiveness to the egghead elite at public and community colleges, but that's a tough one to sell to most voters. Some Republican candidates wish to tuck away their values for the next couple of months, but their base demands their fascism remain fully turgid. Democrats are campaigning capably, plus they're not Republicans so this election is going about as nicely as one would expect. Trump can't keep a secret, but do you know who can? Ukrainians. Whatever they have planned, rest assured, will be neither lazy nor stupid. Ready to make it big in the fast-paced world of the Democratic Party? Put in the time, effort and show them that you are ready to lead. Following leadership PACs is a good way to find leaders.

Some Republican lawmakers are embracing a new rallying cry to “defund the FBI,” following last week's search of Mar-a-Lago.

The Arizona House of Representatives passed the bill in a 31-26 vote Thursday. It now heads to the desk of Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican who has signed restrictions on abortion since becoming governor in 2015. A spokesman for Mr. Ducey didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday. The legislative efforts in Arizona follow similar moves in Florida, where Republican lawmakers earlier this month approved a ban on most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. These bills are similar to the Mississippi law at the center of a Supreme Court case that challenges the high court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which established a constitutional right to end a pregnancy. Similar bills in West Virginia and Kentucky passed one chamber in those state legislatures. The Arizona law, known as SB 1164, bars abortions in the state after 15 weeks of pregnancy, weeks earlier than current precedent established by the Supreme Court. The law allows for exceptions in medical emergencies. It doesn’t include exceptions for instances of rape or incest. Lawmakers who supported these bills say, if passed, the laws would allow states to more quickly and easily enforce abortion restrictions similar to Mississippi’s should the Supreme Court uphold the 15-week ban. Some Republican state lawmakers said they anticipate the court could either uphold this law or overturn Roe v. Wade. A decision is expected no later than the summer. Arizona Rep. John Kavanagh, one of the Republican lawmakers who introduced the 15-week ban and voted in favor of the bill Thursday, told The Wall Street Journal earlier this year he wished to prepare the state for either of those outcomes. Arizona is one of several states with pre-existing laws banning abortion that were passed before Roe v. Wade. If the high court’s precedent is overturned, the law could be resurrected. The Texas Heartbeat Act, which bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy in the Lone Star State, is an exception. The law, which took effect in September 2021, created a new enforcement structure that allows private citizens to bring civil lawsuits against abortion providers as well as anyone who aids or abets an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. Idaho Gov. Brad Little, a Republican, signed a similar bill on Wednesday banning abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy. The legislation doesn’t grant officials enforcement authority and instead gives that power to private citizens—a precedent the governor expressed concerns over. To which Vice President Harris Tweeted: “Idaho Gov. Little signed an appalling bill yesterday to restrict abortion access after six weeks. This bill harms women, particularly those who are most vulnerable. We'll continue to fight to ensure all women have the right to make their own health care decisions.” The VP was also recently talking about the significance of the passage of time: https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1505964846172491780?s=20&t=QdbTjWjZAaZB0xzLCbUwzQ Play video https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/woke-home-depot-flyer-causes-online-stir The Home Depot became the subject of controversy online this week over an employee training pamphlet found at a Canadian location that was leaked on social media, sparking accusations that the company has gone "woke." The flyer that was reportedly posted in a break room at a Calgary, Alberta, Home Depot showed the home improvement giant's logo and was titled, "Leading Practices: Unpacking Privilege." It asks employees to literally "check" their "privilege," whether it be "white privilege," class privilege," "Christian privilege," "cisgender privilege," "able-bodied privilege," or "heterosexual privilege." The two-pager goes on to encourage workers to discuss white privilege and race with their colleagues, and offers tips on how to do so. Meanwhile, the U.S.-based company confirmed to FOX Business that the pamphlet had been posted for employees up north, but said the contents were not cleared by corporate. "While we fully support diversity across our company, this material was not created or approved by our corporate diversity, equity and inclusion department," a Home Depot spokesperson said in a statement. "This was a resource in our Canadian division and not part of any required programming."
