Hosts: Leah Murray and Taylor Morgan  Pres. Trump’s approval polling 100 days into his second term A milestone in President Trump's second term happening this week -- the end of the first 100 days in office. This is a big step for each president -- have they been able to accomplish everything they set out to do? Have they kept campaign promises? The first 100 days can set the tone for the rest of the term. The Inside Sources hosts discuss some of the things President Trump has done and how it’s affected his approval rating.  Children who are U.S. citizens being wrapped up in deportations  U.S. citizens can't legally be deported -- the United States is their country. But what happens with children who are American citizens living with parents who are not? It's a question immigration officials and federal judges are now looking at after a 2-year-old U.S. citizen was sent to Honduras with her non-citizen mother and sister. Is this a custody issue or an immigration issue? The Inside Sources hosts debate.  HB267 Referendum reaches signature threshold This morning, the effort to overturn House Bill 267 -- the bill that banned public labor union collective bargaining -- cleared a major hurdle. Signatures from more than 8% of Utah voters, as well a 8% of voters in 15 of the state's 29 Senate districts, have now been verified. That doesn't mean everything is set and done yet.

It would also move rail operations back to the Rio Grande station, which hasn't had train service for several decades now.

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.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon  Uncertainty thrives before Wednesday’s upcoming 'Liberation Day'  'Liberation Day' -- it's what President Donald Trump is calling Wednesday, April 2nd. Why? Because it's the day, he says, when the U.S. will see a reduction in all trade imbalances. But there's still a lot of uncertainty about what will come on Liberation Day and how it'll affect the American people. Inside Sources begins with a discussion on how that uncertainty is contributing to several days of a more volatile stock market and already-raising prices.    GOP Senators push back on proposal to impeach judges who rule against Trump  As President Trump continues his push for federal judges who rule against him to be impeached, Senate Republicans have a warning: don't try it. Even Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley said it's not appropriate to impeach a judge just because the president disagrees with their opinion. But that's not stopping House Republicans from still moving forward with plans to restrict the judiciary. The Inside Sources hosts describe the whys and hows.    Special elections could affect the makeup of Congress  A few special elections tomorrow could affect the national stage, both immediately and in the long-term. In Wisconsin, voters will pick a new Supreme Court justice who could play a role in the district maps within that state.

Trump run for a 3rd term?  While he's joked about it in the past, this weekend President Trump told NBC News that he's no longer joking -- he's looking into the possibility of running for a third term as President. The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbids a president from being elected more than twice. But the President says he and his team are looking into other ways to go about this, with the president saying he "likes working."    Long-delayed high-speed rail project in California needs $7 Billion more  For a cost of only $40 Billion, California set out to build a high-speed railway from San Francisco and Sacramento to Los Angeles. The opening date? Well, it was supposed to be 2020. Now, the cost of the project has ballooned to more than $100 Million and won't open until 2030... with the system not being fully operational until 2050. Oh, and the state says they now need another $7 Billion to finish the part they're working on now. The hosts talk about this “colossal failure” of a project.
