Podcasts about United Utah Party

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider  Two of Utah's political parties are joining forces, hoping to make bigger waves against the traditional Democrat and Republican parties. Today, the United Utah Party and Utah Forward Party announced plans to merge operations. Will this make much of a difference in the state’s political scene? Listen to hear what Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider think. 

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider  Results of last night’s special elections – a good barometer of Pres. Trump’s performance?  Special election races in Wisconsin and Florida were supposed to be an early barometer of President Trump's second term -- an indicator as to how the American people are feeling about the direction of the country under Trump. In the end though... it was a mixed bag of results. Republicans won their two congressional races in Florida -- albeit by smaller margins than Trump won in those districts -- and the Democratic-backed candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court won. The Inside Sources hosts go into detail on the results and give their political analysis.    Pres. Trump tells Cabinet members that Elon Musk will soon step away  Is the curtain closing on Elon Musk's time as a close advisor to President Trump? Reports now say that the President has informed members of the Cabinet that Musk will be stepping away within the next few weeks. Politico Magazine reports that the President isn't angry with Musk by any means, but that top political advisors and high-up members of the Trump administration have grown worried about Musk's unpredictability and potential political liability.    Speaker Johnson cancels House votes for the rest of the week  The U.S. House of Representatives will not be voting on any more bills this week. No votes on the SAVE Act. No votes to address judges who rule against Trump. Why? Speaker Mike Johnson says his hands are tied because of a vote to take down a rule that passed with all Democratic and several Republicans support. The fight all comes over a push to allow proxy voting for new parents who are also members of Congress.    Two Utah political parties to join forces  Two of Utah's political parties are joining forces, hoping to make bigger waves against the traditional Democrat and Republican parties. Today, the United Utah Party and Utah Forward Party announced plans to merge operations. Will this make much of a difference in the state’s political scene? Listen to hear what Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider think.    President Trump announces new tariffs for ‘Liberation Day’  In a nearly hour-long speech at the White House, President Donald Trump announced new tariffs against many of the United States’ trading partners. Each country will see a 10% blanket tariff plus specific tariffs by country and industry. Inside Sources takes the speech in full and then spends a few moments discussing it.   

Two of Utah's newest political parties are joining forces. The United Utah Party and Utah Forward Party have announced plans to merge. Joining me live is Michelle Quist... United Party executive board member... and former candidate for Utah Attorney General.

Aired Oct. 15, 2024. Proponents of the two major parties say that third party candidates and independents are just spoilers. We talked with representatives from the United Utah Party and the Utah Libertarian Party.

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Andy Cupp  Elections tend to focus on the major two parties: Republican and Democrat. But there are several third parties also involved. Today, we speak with one of those third-party candidates, Michelle Quist, United Utah Party candidate for Attorney General. Quist explains the basis of her campaign and why she believes she’s the one who will restore trust and transparency to that office. 

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Andy Cupp  Candidates take to the debate stage for Utah’s 1st Congressional District  Three candidates vying to represent Utah’s 1st Congressional District took to the debate stage, trying to win over voters.

We begin KSL at Night recapping their one-hour debate.  Senator Mitt Romney gives 5 warnings for the future of the U.S.  Outgoing U.S. Senator Mitt Romney says he’s optimistic about the future of America. At the same time, he’s nervous about several situations that could spell utter disaster. We discuss a few of the warnings he gave in two speeches yesterday. We also share why Senator Romney says that despite all of the issues facing the United States, he’s still hopeful about the country’s future.    Immigration policy: Does it have to be an ‘us’ versus ‘them’ situation?  Recently, an Idaho state senator made the news for telling a Native American woman to “go back to where [she] came from” during a local ‘Meet the Candidate’ event. This kind of vitriol towards people we perceive as outsiders and foreigners isn’t a new thing; it’s been something that’s been with us as a country since the beginning. Why is this?    Bill to be introduced banning large companies from buying homes in Utah  Utah State Representative Tyler Clancy is working on a bill that would prohibit large multinational companies from buying and owning single-family homes here in the state. The hope is that it would free up inventory for younger adults looking to purchase their first house. We discuss the details of this proposal and the state of Utah’s housing market.  Meet the candidate: Michelle Quist for Attorney General  Elections tend to focus on the major two parties: Republican and Democrat. But there are several third parties also involved. Today, we speak with one of those third-party candidates, Michelle Quist, United Utah Party candidate for Attorney General. Quist explains the basis of her campaign and why she believes she’s the one who will restore trust and transparency to that office.  Meet the candidate: Glenn Wright for Congress (UT-3)  With experience as a former Summit County Councilman and member of the Utah Association of Counties board, Democratic candidate for Utah’s 3rd Congressional District Glenn Wright says he’s ready to take his ideas to Congress. He joins KSL at Night to outline some of his policy positions. He also explains why voters should choose him to fill Utah’s only open congressional seat.  Senator Mike Lee outlines proposal for future Senate leadership  As the United States Senate looks to elect new leadership, Utah Senator Mike Lee says it’s a pivotal time to make lasting reforms to existing processes. In a series of posts on social media, he outlined several proposals that he says would “make the Senate work for the people again.” We spend a few minutes going through each of his points and share our thoughts.  *Re-rack: How to keep strong political feelings from dividing your family

Hosts: Maura Carabello and Adam Gardiner The latest on the 2nd assassination attempt on former President Donald TrumpThis weekend, a 2nd attempt to assassinate former President Trump took place on a Florida golf course. We begin the show discussing the latest developments from the FBI and the Secret Service. Today we learned that the suspect stood in wait for 12 hours before being spotted by someone. Why did it take so long? We hear an explanation from an earlier press conference and discuss. Trump preaches unity, praises Utahns during short fundraising stopLess than 24 hours before his attempted assassination, former President Donald Trump visited Utah for a quick fundraising event. Supporters who attended the event say he spoke about unity and praised members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for their “shared values.” KSL at Night hosts Adam Gardiner and Maura Carabello break down the event for our listeners.

Discussing the effects of filming on Utah and its economyHundreds of millions of dollars have been spent in Utah from filming studios, production companies, and film festivals like Sundance Festival over the past several years. When the spending trickles down, what kind of effect does that have on Utah’s economy? We discuss this question with Utah Film Commission Director Virginia Pearce. We also take a look at the overall perception of Utah from an actor’s perspective; Utah-born actor Claybourne Elder gives us his take, as well as the take from his fellow actors. Together, this deep-dive into the film industry's effect on Utah will shed some light into the politics and economics of it all. China raises its retirement age; should the US do the same?China has announced that it will raise its retirement age over the next several years. Should the United States follow their example and also raise the age of retirement?

If the whole point of a democracy is to represent the voice of the people, then why do more than half of Americans say the two major political parties are doing a poor job representing the people? Would a third major party solve the problem? What could drive the Democrats and Republicans to embrace more moderate views? In this episode we look at why American politics have become so polarized and we explore how to stay engaged in democracy when neither party feels like a good fit. Thanks to listeners Jeff, Cydne, Alex, Troy and Noah for sharing their stories in this episode.Guests:Robert Saldin, Professor of Political Science, University of MontanaJon Schaff, Professor of Political Science, Northern State University Richard Davis, co-founder of the United Utah Party, author of "Beyond Donkeys and Elephants: Minor Political Parties in Contemporary American Politics."Pastor Fred Garry, Senior Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Metuchen, NJEvan Malbrough, fellow at the ACLU of Georgia, board member with The Andrew Goodman Foundation.

Last night, two of three candidates debated the issues for House District 4. Incumbent congressman Burgess Owens chose not to attend, based on the moderator being news editor over the cartoonist who depicted Owens repeating the words of a 1930s klansman–a quote Owens actually did say. Darlene McDonald, the Democratic challenger, and January Walker, the United Utah Party challenger, addressed his absence and called the real reason he didn't appear “cowardice.” Guest host Morgan Lyon Cotti and Dave discuss the highlights of the debate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Host Alec Sorenson sits down with Jonathan Harmon, the Salt Lake County Chair for the United Utah Party. In June of 2017 the Unity Party was officially certified by the state of Utah.

Inside Sources producer Robynn Garfield co-hosts the show with Granite School District School spokesman Ben Horsley.  Ben and Robynn talk about impeachment, we talk about the United Utah Party with Jim Bennett, and discuss the importance of the flu vaccination with epidemiologist Keegan Mcaffrey.  Listen to Inside Sources on KSL News Radio weekdays from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM on 102.7 FM and 1160 AM.

Today's guest hosts are Scott Howell and Jim Bennett, both big names in local news. Bennett was the first-ever candidate for congress from the United Utah Party and hosts the Dinner Table Politics podcast on KSL NewsRadio. (He's also the son of the late Senator Bob Bennett, a well-known Republican.) Howell ran for Senate as a Democrat in 2000 and 2012 has strong opinions about gerrymandering in Utah. 

One of the items addressed by the Utah legislature in its special session this week was approving a $1.5 million settlement with former Attorney General John Swallow. Swallow left office in the midst of criminal proceedings that ultimately wound up being dismissed in court. Jim Bennett, one of this week's guest hosts, says he thinks the state made the right call to settle. That's because Jim sued the state back when he ran for Congress -- in order to get on the ballot as a third-party candidate. And he knows the state of Utah lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in fighting his lawsuit, when they could have just put him on the ballot in the first place. 

"The best politics you have is when you have good solid opposition, and you can work together." That's what Scott Howell said to wrap up Inside Sources as he and Jim Bennett guest hosted. Jeff Caplan joins. 

The United Utah Party's Richard Davis joins Jim Bennett and Scott Howell on Inside Sources to talk about the third party's latest initiative. The United Utah Party, for which Jim ran for Congress not that long ago, is behind a ballot initiative to limit terms of Utah state officials including governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, state auditor, state house and state senate, etc. There would be no lifetime ban, so someone wanting to serve longer could leave office and then come back. And while we're at it -- has it become too hard to launch a voter initiative?

Both the Utah Republican and Democratic parties will elect new leaders in the coming weeks, which many voters and elected officials hope will usher in new chapters for the state’s primary political organizations after years of infighting, debts and dysfunction. But the growing participation of unaffiliated voters, pressure from smaller parties, and changes to state law democratizing the candidate nomination process have raised questions about the shifting relevancy and roles of political parties in modern elections.

On this episode of the Voices of Reason podcast, Amy Donaldson and Jasen Lee speak with Eric Eliason, who is running for Congress in Utah's 1st District in the United Utah Party. He said never thought he would ever run for political office, because he didn’t feel like he fell into any of the traditional political party categories. But that changed when he felt an allegiance to the principles of the upstart United Utah Party's message of ending extreme partisanship and focusing on practical solutions based on common sense and common ground. Eliason said his number one policy priority is government reform.
