Kathryn Bues on CAPSA and Cache County's "Light the Nite" domestic violence awareness event -- Utah Democrats take issue with Utah GOP canvassing plan

The presidential debate between VP Kamala Harris and Former President Trump will kick off tonight. Can either candidate sway the moveable middle and bring the undecided to one side? Thom DeSirent, Executive Director of the Utah Democratic Party, joins the show to talk about what Utah Democrats are expecting from their candidate ahead of tonight's debate. Boyd Matheson, Host of Inside Sources, also joins the show to discuss what Americans will be watching for.

We're at nearly 20 Democratic lawmakers as well as donors and Hollywood types that have openly questioned or flat-out asked Pres. Biden to step down before the Democratic National Convention next month. But President Biden has been insistent that he's sticking around. Mason Hughes, Communication Director for Utah Democrats, joins Dave and Debbie to add a Utah perspective to the discussion of what's happening in the Democratic party.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Adam Gardiner Utah Democrats have created a special design that, while costing a little extra, will support the movement that supports the ongoing conservation efforts for this natural gem that is our capital’s namesake. KSL Newsradio Producer Mitchell von Puttkammer joins Taylor and Adam to talk about the license plate game and their favorite—and least favorite—plates from around the country.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Adam Gardiner Part 1: Traditional presidential debates are out this season KSL at Night hosts Taylor Morgan and Adam Gardiner start off talking about President Biden’s announcement that he will not participate in traditional presidential debates. However, the dates and times for a debate between Biden and Trump were agreed to just hours after the announcement. How will this affect both campaigns, as well as the fledgling campaign of independent candidate RFK Jr.? Part 2: Are presidential debates still productive? How has the debate landscape changed since the Commission on Presidential Debates took it over in 1988? Politicians have participated, boycotted, and everything in between when it comes to debates. Sit down and take a deep breath while our hosts break down historical sound bites from recent political debates gone awry.  Utah GOP primary debates still moving ahead as planned Here in Utah, we’re still moving forward with previous debate plans ahead of the Primary Election. All 14 GOP hopefuls confirmed that they will participate in the hour-long debates hosted by the Utah Debate Commission. Becky Edwards, Co-Chair of the Utah Debate Commission, joins the show to talk about the importance of debates in today’s political climate. Bipartisan rankings of elected officials in Congress Do we put too much stock in bipartisanship in policies as opposed to the actual content of the policies? Taylor and Adam discuss a recently released report disclosing the frequency that members of congress vote across the aisle, or not. The KSL at Night hosts take a look at how Utah’s congressional representation ranks.  Mitt Romney thinks Biden missed an opportunity to pardon Trump Today, Utah Senator Mitt Romney went on MSNBC and said that President Biden missed an opportunity to pardon former President Trump… right from the beginning. The hosts discuss Romney’s statements, including his comparison of the upcoming debates to the Muppets. What took Romney so long to say something like this? The hosts try to figure it out. Protests across college campuses around Israel and social media If you look solely at the headlines, you may be led to believe that the majority of college students in the country are opposed to Israel’s response to the October 7th massacre. But the data tells a different story… one that shows college students are much more fractured than they seem when assigning blame for the conflict in Israel. Current status of the Great Salt Lake The Great Salt Lake is improving bit by bit. How can we make sure that trend continues? What are the options for our institutions that want to make sure it stays there? The KSL at Night hosts are joined by Tim Davis, Great Salt Lake Deputy Commissioner, to talk about the strategic plan for the lake and the focus areas they’ve identified. What can you do to help save the Great Salt Lake? Utah Democrats have created a special design that, while costing a little extra, will support the movement that supports the ongoing conservation efforts for this natural gem that is our capital’s namesake. KSL Newsradio Producer Mitchell von Puttkammer joins Taylor and Adam to talk about the license plate game and their favorite—and least favorite—plates from around the country.

In an interview with KUTV 2 News, Heidi Hatch, Brad Wilson, former Utah House Speaker, and current Republican U.S. Senate Candidate, spoke about the upcoming Utah Presidential Preference Poll/Caucus scheduled for Super Tuesday, Mar. 5.Wilson was not surprised by Mondays Supreme Court ruling that would keep former President Donald Trump on the ballot in all 50 states."I'm really glad they ruled the way we did. I expected they would rule the way they did," remarked Wilson. "Voters should be the ones to make this decision about who gets to be our next president, not activists in liberal states, not even activist judges in liberal states. And so, I think it's a good thing so that the American people get to make this decision."Wilson's remarks underscore a prevailing sentiment among many Utah Republicans, who have long advocated for preserving the integrity of the electoral process and ensuring that voters have the final say.The discussion comes on the eve of Super Tuesday and Utah's Presidential Preference Poll, where Utahns will have the opportunity to cast their votes and voice their preferences for the next President of the United States in neighborhood caucuses.Utah has 40 delegates at stake in the Presidential primary that will be divided amongst the candidates garnering votes Tuesday night.15 states and one US Territory will vote on Tuesday, Mar. 5 — doling out one third of the delegates needed to win.Registered Utah Republicans can get ready for caucus night by finding a location and registering.Utah Democrats should have received a ballot to vote and will also have an opportunity to caucus and pick delegates for state and county convention.Utah Election Information Highlights on important issues for Utah voters from Wilson's interview:RULING THAT PUTS TRUMP BACK ON THE BALLOT“I'm really glad they ruled the way we did. I expected they would rule the way they did. I mean, voters should be the ones to make this decision about who gets to be our next president, not activists in liberal states, not even activist judges in liberal states. And so, I think it's a good thing so that the American people get to make this decision.WILSON BACKING TRUMP FOR PRESIDENTI endorsed Donald Trump a few months ago. I that it was very clear that he was going to be the next nominee, and I believe he'll be the next president of the United States, and we need to unify the Republican party around him. And we're doing that right now. We've seen that happen over and over and over again and get the country back on track, uh, with his leadership. So, I'm excited. Um, Mm-Hmm. that, uh, we're heading that direction.WILL TRUMP DEBATE ON THE STAGE HERE IN UTAH?I hope that they choose to participate. I think it's good for the American people to hear, uh, both presidential nominees discuss the issues, learn from them what their opinions are, but, you know, and that's a long way off in politics and we'll see what, uh, what happens. But isn't it great that Utah Yeah. Has been chosen to be one of the hosts? And I, we did such a great job with the vice-presidential debate a few years ago that they wanted to bring it back here. It's just amazing.WHY SHOW UP TO CAUCUS?Well, it's a great opportunity and a great way to go out and meet your neighbors. Go out Mm-Hmm. into your precinct, and you just get in a room, and you, uh, will decide who you want to support for the president. You'll also decide who you want to send to be state delegates to the state convention and county delegates, to your county convention, and who's going to run the precinct for the next couple of years. And it's really the grassroots of politics in Utah. And it's, uh, served us really well for a long time. I think it's going to continue to serve us well in the future. So, I've been doing this for probably almost 40 years. Yeah. And it's a great experience if you go out and do it.BORDER CRISISWell, Congress has the ability, uh, to solve this issue if they want, but quite frankly, Joe Biden has the ability to close the border down right now. It's why you saw Border Patrol agents supporting Donald Trump, because they're so frustrated right now that the president who opened up the border when he became president, has done very little to try to close things down. The tools are there, there are resources there. The political will and the leadership are not there. People are frustrated. Now, Congress can do more, and I think they should do more. And I think you'll see them leaning into this issue, uh, in the near future. But we must secure our border. You know, Heidi, we know that the border crisis right now in America is costing every single taxpayer, uh, 1200, $1,300 a year by the time you look at the burden. This is placing on our criminal justice system, on our schools, on our healthcare system. The list goes on and on. Americans are frustrated, they're angry, they should be. And, and the, the fact of the matter is, Joe Biden is the one to blame right now for this issue. We need to get this solved.UKRAINE AND ISRAEL AID TIED TO BORDEROver the course of the next few months, you've got all these different issues both domestically and internationally that Congress is trying to wrestle to the ground. I believe we need to support our ally Israel, um, in defending themselves and dealing with Hamas that needs to be done in a surgical way. And, uh, we're going to continue to support them I'm sure, as a country with the aid that they need. We've supported Israel for years. Yeah. I mean, they've been a great ally. And without them in the Middle East, uh, we would see a lot of problems I think that, uh, we don't have right now. So, uh, I'm very supportive of what's happening there With Ukraine. Uh, people are frustrated. Uh, Americans are frustrated. There's been a hundred plus billion dollars of, of American taxpayer dollars sent there.ECONOMY AND INFLATIONUtah families do feel like they've been pushed to the brink. Mm-Hmm. And, and you said the word economy, but I'll just kind of maybe peel the layer back one additional level, which is what they really feel right now is this incredible inflation. Mm-Hmm. that's hurt them. And we know in the last three years since Biden became president, the average Utah family has seen their cost-of-living increase by about $8,000 a year, Heidi. And that is real money. Everything is costing Utah so much more money, whether it's cars or housing or fuel or food. Yeah. Uh, food right now is costing as much for a Utah family as a percentage of their household budget as it did when I was in high school. I mean, that's how much Utah families are spending on food. They are frustrated, but it's inflation that they're frustrated with.HOW TO FIX INFLATION?The reason we have all this inflation is because the White House and Congress has spent so much money, and we don't have fiscal discipline in Washington, DC and you ask about the solution. Mm-Hmm., the solution is for Congress to start spending less. And in fact, spending what they generate, they're going to spend almost $2 trillion more this year back in Washington than they're generating. In what world does that make sense? That we can spend that much more money than we're generating in Washington DC and then the American people, American families are the ones that are paying the price for it. There needs to be some fiscal discipline in Washington. And here's what's great about what's happening right now in Utah. We know how to do that as Speaker of the house. Not only did I balance our budget, but I balanced our budget and cut taxes three different times for the biggest tax cuts in the history of Utah. Now, that's the kind of leadership we need in Washington is how do you balance a budget? How do you actually cut taxes? And by the way, that doesn't create the kind of inflation, uh, that you're seeing in, in Washington.SPENDING OVERRUNS COME FROM BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS- HOW WILL YOU MAKE A DENT IN THE MASSIVE DEBT?Well, it shouldn't be about campaign promises. Uh, this should be about what's right for the American people. Uh, this should be about what's right in terms of spending and controlling spending. And you've got to change the system in Washington. We've got to either pass a balance budget amendment, or we've got to do something legislatively that says Congress can't spend more money, uh, than they're taking it. And we need some people back there that have actually done the work, that have balanced budgets at a state level and have cut taxes at the same time. Utah's very unique in the sense that we have done that, but until you change the system, the only way you're going to change the system is change the people we send back there, you're going to continue to have this problem. And this is the number one issue I hear from Utahans, whether I'm up in Tremont or I'm down in St. George and everywhere in between, they want Congress to finally get their act together and start spending less money.HOME BUYINGAt the end of the day, it's supply and demand, but the other thing that's changed so dramatically for people is just what a house payment costs them. Yeah. And that's a function of inflation and interest rates. And that's a function of all the spending in Washington. Until we get spending under control in Washington, you're likely to see interest rates stay high, and you're likely to see housing be unaffordable for Utah families. And, and I do worry about the next generation. I mean, like you Heidi, I have kids that are launching in the world, and they are looking at their future, and they want to know that someday they'll be able to live the American dream of owning their own home. And we want to help them as parents, but we need leaders, uh, back in Washington, uh, and here in the state that are going to lean into this issue. You have seen a lot more done at a state level. Uh, we have done more here to help Utah families, uh, get into their first home than Washington's ever, ever thought of. Uh, all Washington's made the problem worse. Utah leaders have tried to make the problem easier to solve.WHAT SETS HIM APART?We need more people in Washington DC that have been in the trenches at a state level solving problems and have seen, uh, from a front row seat the problems in dysfunction that's created in Washington. And that's what's really unique about my candidacy. I mean, I'm the only person, uh, that is running in this race that has a record of the biggest tax cuts in the history of the state. Uh, I'm the only person running in this race that has helped initiate suits against the federal government because of all the problems that they have caused, whether it's on energy policy or public lands or other issues. And having someone that's actually lived the problems that the federal government's created, go back to Washington and prevent problems from happening and fix the problems that are already there is a unique opportunity for Utahans. And that's part of the reason I'm running.CROWDED RACEGovernor Cox is supporting my candidacy. And so, no one has the grassroots support that we have, and no one also has the support of elected officials, including sixty plus mayors from across the state and some of our biggest cities. And here is why. All these people, Heidi are wanting me to get elected to the US Senate. They know I am going to fight for Utah. They know I have got the experience to do this, and they know what this country needs. What Utah needs is to have someone that has actually done the work before.Utah U.S. Senate Candidates:John Curtis, RepublicanBrad Reed Wilson, RepublicanTrent Staggs, RepublicanBrent Orrin Hatch, RepublicanCarolyn Phippen, RepublicanClark S.

Episode Notes Kyle, Jordan, and Greg mourn our dear sweet long-serving Senator, Orrin Grant Hatch. We certainly don't discuss his history of corruption, his ties to Utah's radical right, and his horrific treatment of Anita Hill.

It's been more than 50 years since Utah put a Democrat in the U.S. Senate, which may be part of the thinking behind the party's decision to put an Independent candidate, Evan McMullin, on the ballot to go up against the Republican, likely to be the incumbent Mike Lee. KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson wanted to ask her guests on A Woman's View what they thought about that move. Her guests this week include Dr. Delania Tonks, principal of Mountain Heights Academy, and Ashley Thorn, licensed marriage family therapist and founder of 4 Points Family Therapy.

The 2022 election cycle really gets going next month with primaries in more than a dozen states, so we invited Daily Kos Elections editor Jeff Singer to join us on this week's episode of The Downballot to run us through all the key contests. We analyze some sloppy GOP food fights in Senate races in Alabama, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania; a pair of primaries in Oregon and Texas where progressive challengers are seeking to oust irritating Democratic moderates; and the first incumbent-vs.-incumbent matchup of the year, thanks to West Virginia losing a House seat. Co-hosts David Nir and David Beard also shake their heads in disbelief at a bizarre ruling by New York's top court striking down the state's new maps; explain why Utah Democrats chose not to endorse a candidate for Senate at their convention last week; discuss the Michigan GOP's decision to back Trump-endorsed Big Lie proponents for state attorney general and secretary of state; and breathe a sigh of relief over the results of the French presidential runoff.

Highlights:  “The latest poll out on Cheney shows that only 13% of voters in Wyoming would reelect her. That’s called a total and complete political collapse. I mean we’re talking like Anthony Weiner political collapse here, I mean 13%.”“It really does appear that the Republican Party is getting cleanse as it were, slowly but surely of these establishment RINOs and that’s only gonna energize the grassroots to take back the House in 2022 which is precisely what President Trump has in mind.”“As the RINOs and the DIABLOs start to fall, as their political fortunes and futures begin to shrivel up and wither away, McCarthy is basically being forced to grovel before Trump because he knows Trump is the only one in the Republican Party that can galvanize 75 million voters to come out and vote in 2022.”Timestamps:      [01:48] The imploding support for Liz Cheney[04:00] How voters in Wyoming have a negative opinion of Cheney and on Rep.
