Our episode is a little longer today because it is a bit of a hybrid thanks to a live audience show I did the night before. I use the first 45-50 minutes to bring my normal show to you but then transition to a replay of the live event hosted by Americans for Prosperity in NW Georgia. To start, there is great news of a cease fire with the Houthis and a re-opening of the Red Sea shipping lanes. We now have word the owner of the vehicle that was stopped by the Tennessee Highway Patrol with Kilmar Abrego Garcia driving and filled with people, says he paid Garcia several times to run people into the country from the border. Next, we go to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's testimony on the Hill yesterday. To illustrate the level of intellect inherent to the Democrat Party today, we turn to Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY). Then, for the added cherry on top, we turn to mad Maxine Waters (D-CA) regarding DOGE. This leads to a short segment on why DOGE needs to continue working daily to find and root out the fraud, waste, abuse and corruption. Then we shift to the live show from Tuesday, May 06, 2025 at AFP. We start with a short conversation with Jeff Thompson of AFP before turning to Tony West. West joined AFP in Georgia in 2015. He has served in various roles before being elevated to State Director in October of 2023. Prior to joining AFP, he spent three years as an analyst in the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget under Gov. Nathan Deal. Our keynote guest is Beverly Peyton, newly elected head of the GOP for Bartow County, GA. We talk a lot about her beginnings, growing up in Chicago and watching jobs and factories move away, leaving her and many of her friends on the edge of poverty. Realizing she was a critical point of turning down a bad path, she instead enlisted in the National Guard and it turned her life around and set her on a path of growth and success. She started to become more politically active in 2016 and is now a local leader in the Republican Party. After the interviews, I discuss the topic of immigration, due process and how the Legacy/mainstream media wants to take pieces of the 5th and 14th Amendments to try to make their points. I also spend some time on AI and what it will mean for everyone. We then close with a short Q&A session with the audience. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon  Federal judge finds probable cause to hold Trump administration in contempt  A federal judge has found that the Trump administration can be held in contempt of court. It comes after the administration allowed planes full of deportees to fly to an El Salvadorian prison, even after a judge said those plans needed to turn around. Today, Judge Boasberg said the act was a “willful disobedience of judicial order." KSL Legal Analyst and Inside Sources co-host Greg Skordas joins the program to explain the judge’s order and what happens next.    China positioning itself as ‘stable’ economic power thanks to American tariff troubles  Tariffs have been ever present in everyone's minds over the past several weeks. Here locally, Utah Governor Spencer Cox is telling state agencies to make plans for a possible recession as a result of the tariffs. And now China is positioning itself it be the source of economic "stability and certainty." All of this comes while President Trump seeks to bring countries to the bargaining table as he tries to fix what he calls a trade imbalance.    The tax burden faced by Utah families  Not all taxes are created equal. So while we get tax cuts in some places, we often see tax rises in other places. This imbalance warrants a deeper dive -- what's the actual tax burden for the average Utah family? Are they paying more or less taxes overall in 2025? Billy Hesterman, President of the Utah Taxpayers Association joins Inside Sources in the studio to discuss the organization’s Beehive Family Report.    Could Pres. Trump be open to increasing taxes on millionaires?  Tax hikes for millionaires? Reports say that President Trump is open to the idea, even as Congressional leaders push back saying they oppose the idea of any tax hikes. Among House Republicans however, the idea is getting mixed reactions. The Inside Sources hosts share their thoughts on the possibility of this idea moving forward.    Signatures gathered, turned in for referendum on public labor union law  Will Utah voters get the chance to vote to overturn House Bill 267, which barred public labor unions from collective bargaining? That's the question on everyone's mind today after opponents to the bill turned in signatures today calling for a referendum on the issue. According to the Protect Utah Coalition -- who was behind the referendum drive -- 320,000 signatures were collected in 30 days. That's more than double what is required under state law. Now, those signatures must be verified. State Director of Elections Ryan Cowley breaks down the process and requirements.    Audit finds Utah’s elections are secure but have security vulnerabilities  Utah's election system is secure, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have vulnerabilities and areas for improvement. A new report outlines several vulnerabilities found during a recent audit, including poor password management. Our own Taylor Morgan is an expert with all things elections; he explains how the findings and recommendations will help Utah’s elections be even more secure.    From the Hill to the Trails: The future of Utah’s outdoors after the legislative session  Of the 500+ bills passed during this year's legislative session, several of them addressed Utah's outdoors and recreation areas. Now that the dust of the legislative session has settled, we're getting a clearer look at how those bills will affect Utah's outdoors. State Representative Doug Owens joined a panel today to discuss those policies and the future of outdoor recreation in the state; he joins the show to share some insights from that conversation.    Fundraising already underway for U.S. House races  Election Day for members of the House of Representatives is still more than 18 months away. But the fundraising efforts are already well underway. And in this day and age, you need a lot of money to run a good campaign. Inside Sources finishes things off with Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon having a discussion all about money in politics.

Originally released April 25, 2023. New Kindred episodes will drop starting in April 2025.In this week's conversation, we speak with Tracy Wilson, the Nevada State Director for American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) on a critical subject we knew little to nothing about the wild Mustangs and Burros of the West and North Western United States. She walks us through their challenges, the critical edge they live on, and why we must save this iconic historical animal. AWHC believes "There Is A Better Way" to work with supporting and managing these beautiful and powerful animals through programs like their fertility control, or PZP (Porcine Zona Pellucida) the largest program of its kind in the world today. However, brutal and inhumane management via roundups by helicopter still remains the method of corralling the horses and burros, creating chaos, injury, extreme stress, and death. We also believe there is a better way. And we find out what that is, and what we owe these animals that long to live wild and free on our American landscape.Show Note Links:American Wild Horse CampaignEric Lundgren Study on BurrosThe Bureau of Land Management
