There was no rioting, there was no looting, there were no cars set on fire, there was no violence. There were vigils and prayers and people coming together to share humanity,” the governor said. “And that, ladies and gentlemen, I believe is the answer to this.”

Tim Conway Jr. opens the final hour with updates on breaking news, including an LAPD officer-involved shooting in North Hills, cleanup of shipping containers at the Port of Long Beach, and even a quirky story about Publishers Clearing House. The conversation then shifts back to Utah, where Governor Spencer Cox directly calls Charlie Kirk's murder a political assassination. Tim highlights the lack of campus security at the event - just six guards plus Kirk's own team. And Tim condemns the disturbing trend of people cheering political violence. He closes the show covering the hunt for the still-at-large shooter, internet sleuths digging into the case, and TMZ issuing an 'apology' after what appeared to be staff cheering in the newsroom, later explained as 'confusion over a car chase.'

On today's podcast: 1) A search is underway for the killer of Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist who was fatally shot at a Utah university. Kirk was speaking at an outdoor event at Utah Valley University when a single shot was fired from a nearby building, according to local police, with Governor Spencer Cox describing it as a “political assassination.” The shooting drew an outpouring of shock and condemnation from Republicans and Democrats alike, with former Democratic presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama denouncing the violence and offering sympathies to Kirk's family.2) Global stocks posted small gains as traders held back on major bets before Thursday’s highly anticipated US inflation data. Expectations that the Fed will resume monetary easing this month have soared in recent weeks, as data increasingly point to a US labor market under strain. A softer-than-expected print could fuel bets on an initial outsized cut, while a stronger reading would bolster the case for more gradual moves.3) Mexico plans to impose tariffs of as much as 50% on cars and other products made by China and several Asian exporters. The tariffs would affect countries including China, South Korea, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Russia and Turkey, but would not apply to countries such as the US, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Governor Spencer Cox held his monthly press conference yesterday and hit on a variety of topics, including the local wildfires, the Ralph Menzies death penalty case, and President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Greg and Holly take a look at a few of the issues the Governor covered. 

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox wants to double energy production in the state within the next ten years, and he and other state leaders are betting that a new generation of nuclear reactors can help.

With Utah's first-in-the-nation ban on fluoride in public drinking water having taken effect May 7, dentists who treat children and low-income patients said they're bracing for an influx of tooth decay among the state's most vulnerable. Republican Gov. Spencer Cox signed the law against the recommendation of many dentists and national health organizations who warned removing fluoride would harm tooth development, especially in young patients without regular access to dental care. U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. applauded Utah for being the first state to enact a ban and said he plans to direct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to stop recommending fluoridation nationwide. As of May 7, communities across the state were no longer able to decide whether to add a low dose of the cavity-preventing mineral to their water supply. Before the ban became law, a majority of Utah water systems did not add fluoride. The state in 2022 ranked 44th in the nation for the percentage of residents who received fluoridated water, with about two in five receiving it, according to CDC data. The law impacts about 1.6 million Utah residents who live in Davis and Salt Lake counties, and Brigham City, according to the Utah Department of Health and Human Services. In communities like Salt Lake City—the largest city removing fluoride from its water supply—dentists over the past weeks said many patients were unaware of the fast-approaching ban, and most did not realize the city had been adding fluoride to their drinking water for nearly two decades. Fluoride fortifies teeth and reduces cavities by replacing minerals lost during normal wear and tear, according to the CDC. It's especially important for children whose teeth are still developing. For some low-income families, public drinking water containing fluoride may be their only source of preventative dental care. At Salt Lake Donated Dental Services, providers expect their monthslong waitlist for children's procedures requiring sedation to grow and their need for volunteer dentists to skyrocket. The effects of the ban on children's teeth will likely be visible within the next year, said Sasha Harvey, the clinic's executive director. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Hosts: Erin Rider and Rusty Cannon  Governor Spencer Cox and the State Legislature have been pushing for Utah to grow into a national leader in energy development. Now, the state is joining forces with Idaho and Wyoming to further nuclear development and work together for "commonsense federal policies" around nuclear energy. Emy Lesofski, Energy Advisor and Utah Office of Energy Development Director joins the program to talk about the partnership and what it means for the future of energy in Utah. 

Hosts: Erin Rider and Rusty Cannon  Trump’s first 100 days: The economy and immigration  President Trump has passed the 100-day mark of his second presidency. The first part of this term hasn't been without controversy – whether it's tariffs, the economy, immigration, the rule of law, or DOGE – we've had plenty to discuss through the last few months. Our discussion on the President's achievements and controversies covers tariffs and the economy, as well as the border and immigration.    The role of local law enforcement in immigration policy and practice  Utah law enforcers find themselves in the middle of the debate on immigration. KSL 5 TV continues its series ‘Immigration 2025: The Dream Divided’ by taking a deeper look at immigration policies and the role local law enforcement agencies play in those processes. The Inside Sources hosts share their takes on how local law enforcement might partner with ICE.    Wisconsin judge accused of helping illegal immigrant evade authorities  More developments today in the case of a Wisconsin judge accused of helping an illegal immigrant run and hide from federal immigration officials. Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested last week. Now, the Wisconsin Supreme Court is suspending her indefinitely while the case plays out. Erin and Rusty discuss how this case could affect trust in the judiciary.    Power rates set to increase for most Utahns  Power bills are going up, but not by as much as previously proposed. The Utah Public Service Commission will allow Rocky Mountain Power to increase power rates; that would amount to $87.2 million – a far cry from the earlier $667.3 million ask from Rocky Mountain Power. Inside Sources talks about the change and what the average Utah family can expect to see.    Utah partnership with Wyoming, Idaho to further develop nuclear energy  Governor Spencer Cox and the State Legislature have been pushing for Utah to grow into a national leader in energy development. Now, the state is joining forces with Idaho and Wyoming to further nuclear development and work together for "commonsense federal policies" around nuclear energy. Emy Lesofski, Energy Advisor and Utah Office of Energy Development Director joins the program to talk about the partnership and what it means for the future of energy in Utah.    Salt Lake County Council approves sale of part of the Salt Palace  Smith Entertainment Group, which owns the Utah Jazz and the Utah Hockey Club, has the approval from the Salt Lake County Council to purchase part of the Salt Palace convention center downtown. The sale includes about a dozen parcels of county-owned land -- roughly 6.5 acres. The sale price? A little over $55.4 million dollars. If everything goes as planned, partial demolition of the Salt Palace will begin in 2027.    Renovation plans for the Delta Center released  Major renovations are coming to the Delta Cente, and now we're getting a better idea of the kind of renovations. Smith Entertainment Group released plans this morning, showing how they'll redesign the Delta Center to make it more conducive to both basketball and hockey. The Inside Sources hosts share their thoughts on the plans.   

Hosts: Leah Murray and Guest Host Holly Richardson  How might the El Salvadorian prison story affect the political capital of Pres. Trump and other Republicans?  As the story around Kilmar Abrego Garcia – the Maryland man mistakenly sent to an El Salvadorian prison – continues to grow, it’s begun prompting responses from Republican lawmakers. Utah’s Congressman Mike Kennedy recently visited the prison, saying it was “very depressing.” And the story has become a hot topic at Republican town halls nationwide. What is it about this story that’s angry both the GOP and Democrats? What could the Trump administration do to fix the story and come out the hero? Hosts Leah Murray and Holly Richardson share their thoughts.    Sec. of State Rubio says the U.S. may walk away from peace talks between Russia and Ukraine  One of President Trump's campaign promises was to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine and end the war there; he said he could do it in 24 hours. But no deal has been reached -- both sides have dug in. And now, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the administration may step away altogether if a peace deal isn't reached... within a few days. The Inside Sources hosts discuss the ramifications if the U.S. did indeed walk away from the peace talks.    U.S. State Department changing reports looking at human rights violations  Over the years, the U.S. State Department has broadened its definitions of what constitutes a human right, and their reports have tracked those too. But now, it appears there's a narrowing-in on tracking human rights violations around the world. And it doesn't target specific countries, but entire categories of abuses. Inside Sources talks about potential effects from these slimmer reports.    Lieutenant Governor’s Office to launch full audit of Utah voter rolls  Utah's Lieutenant Governor says her office will conduct a thorough audit of the state's voter rolls, looking for vulnerabilities or areas where non-citizens might be able to get in and vote. It comes following the Lieutenant Governor voicing concerns with Senator Mike Lee's SAVE Act and a call-out on X from Elon Musk about it. Leah and Holly get into this story and why Governor Cox says he supports the SAVE Act, even if his second-hand does not.    Governor Cox shares thoughts on revoking student visas, possibly changing Harvard’s tax-exempt status  During his monthly news conference, Governor Spencer Cox spoke a bit about the dozens of foreign students attending Utah universities who've recently had their visas revoked. He also spoke a little bit about the push to end Harvard's tax-exempt status. The Inside Sources hosts spend this segment chatting about the governor's reaction to higher education attacks.    Republican lawmakers admit being “afraid” of President Trump  In recent town halls across the country, angry voters have unleashed their frustrations on lawmakers for -- what they say -- is rolling over to President Trump. This whole idea that Republican lawmakers should be standing up to some of the things the president is doing has gained momentum over the past few weeks. Now, several of those same GOP lawmakers say they're afraid to speak out against the President for fear of retribution.    Friday Roundup: Paul Revere, “Peace by Piece”, Good Friday  Inside Sources finishes the week off with some lighter news. This weekend is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s legendary ride through Boston the night before the battles of Lexington and Concord really began the American Revolution. Utah women are using quilts to spread messages and hope and peace. And it’s Easter weekend (and Good Friday today). The hosts share their thoughts on all of it.

We've got to get back to sound money and just compete on the world stage,” urges Utah Rep. Ken Ivory. In this exclusive interview with Daniela Cambone, Rep. Ivory discusses the groundbreaking HB306 bill, which, if passed, would make Utah the first state in the U.S. to allow vendor payments in gold.The bill passed unanimously in the House and secured strong support in the Senate, yet it was vetoed by Gov. Spencer Cox. Despite this setback, Rep. Ivory remains optimistic: “Every Republican, every Democrat voted for it in the House, and 25 out of 29 senators voted for it in the Senate. Those are veto-proof majorities. So why he would veto it is really kind of inexplicable.”Beyond HB306, Rep. Ivory warns of the nation's growing debt crisis and advocates for a return to sound money.

Hosts: Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan  SCOTUS upholds Biden-era rules on ghost guns  The United States Supreme Court has upheld another Biden-era rule. In a 7-2 decision, the Court upheld a lower court's ruling requiring background checks and other protective measures for ghost guns. As a result of the decision, ghost guns will continue to be treated the same as fully assembled firearms. The Inside Sources hosts break down the decision.    The Atlantic releases all messages involved in “SignalGate” fiasco  "SignalGate" isn't going away anytime soon. More Congressional hearings today as lawmakers try to figure out how the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic was included on an unsecured chat discussing military plans on the app Signal. The White House is blaming the whole fiasco on the journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg. Meanwhile National Security Advisor Mike Waltz says he takes full responsibility for the gaffe. Inside Sources digs into the latest, including a full release of all the messages in the chat.    RFK Jr. Reportedly looking to ban pharmaceutical television ads  Just turn on the TV for a bit, and you’re bound to see a drug advertisement that’s so common here in the United States. The U.S. and New Zealand are the only countries that allow drug companies to advertise directly to consumers, and it's a big business.  But they could be going away... if Director of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gets his way. Inside Sources discusses this possibility.    Utah A.G. taking part in lawsuit over the Clean Air Act  Utah's involved in a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency over which courts can rule on disputes involving the Clean Air Act. Utah Attorney General Derek Brown and his team argued before the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday, saying that federal courts closer to the individual states should be able to rule on Clean Air Act disputes.  Right now, those disputes go to a federal court in Washington, DC – something which some describe as giving a "home court advantage" to the EPA.    Gov. Cox vetoes bill that would have changed the relationship between the judicial and the executive branches  Governor Spencer Cox has vetoed his second bill of 2025. Senate Bill 296 would have changed how the Chief Justice of the Utah Supreme Court is chosen. Currently, the other justices on the State Supreme Court choose the Chief Justice. The bill -- which Cox vetoed yesterday -- would have given the selection power to the Governor himself, with confirmation from the State Senate. Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan discuss the Governor’s reasoning for vetoing the bill.    Polling data released on Republicans in Utah  New polling shows something most politicos in the state already know -- Republicans still dominate the political scene in Utah.

Inside Sources host Taylor Morgan is a polling nerd; he breaks down the findings with co-host Erin Rider.    Tensing relationships between Greenland and the U.S.  Last weekend, the White House announced that Second Lady Usha Vance would head to Greenland.

In an interview with Politico, Governor Tim Walz critiqued the campaign strategy of the Harris-Walz presidential campaign—suggesting they should have done more interviews instead of playing it safe. But, as D'Agostino notes, even friendly interviews were often disastrous for Kamala Harris. PLUS, host of The View Whoopi Goldberg says that if you oppose biological males participating in women's sports, you must think women are weak. 4:30pm- California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is now suddenly claiming it is “deeply unfair” for biological males to participate in women's sports—pivoting away from the Democrat Party's stance. Interestingly, Newsom also invited conservative Charlie Kirk on his podcast recently. Is Newsom becoming a moderate, leaving his far-left preferences behind? Rich thinks this is nothing more than a political strategy to cement Newsom's status as a 2028 presidential front runner. 5:05pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss reports that the Trump Administration may disband the Department of Education. Plus, will President Donald Trump pardon former Minneapolis police officer Dereck Chauvin? Dr. Reilly notes that morally, it might be the right thing to do—however, practically speaking, a presidential pardon won't accomplish much since Chauvin is also in prison on state charges. AND will Dr. Reilly be making an appearance at the Grand Hotel of Cape May later this year? 5:50pm- Rich goes 40+ minutes without taking a break—and now he has no time to do anything else. 6:05pm- Make America Healthy Again: Rich notes one of the major shortcomings of the modern food pyramid: it fails to draw a distinction between healthy fats (like those found in avocados, nuts, and olive ...
