Hosts: Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan  Pres. Trump focuses on economy in speech to Congress, Democrats take aim at Elon Musk  It's been his message since last year's election: America is back. During his first speech to Congress this term, President Donald Trump continually reemphasized his belief that the "golden age of America has only just begun.” Republicans cheered, Democrats protested, and the fact that our country is divided as ever was on full display last night during the President's address. Inside Sources hosts Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan go in-depth with their thoughts and analysis on the President’s speech to a joint session of Congress.    SCOTUS rules that Trump administration must pay out foreign assistance funds  This morning, the United State Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration must pay out nearly 2-billion dollars in foreign assistance funds to groups that had already done work on behalf of the federal government. It's the latest development as the White House works to cull spending on foreign aid efforts. The Inside Sources hosts discuss the latest on foreign aid funding.    Local impacts of DOGE cuts affecting Utahns  The impacts of federal downsizing are continuing to grow, and federal workers in Utah aren't immune from the impacts.

We've covered a ton of bills so far and this segment, we dig into a bill on government records, including the disclosure of voter history information. You'll remember that in last year's primary election, there was some concern with how voter's voting methods were being tracked by county clerks. Floor Sponsor State Senator Calvin Musselman explains how the bill addresses that kind of situation.    On the Hill 2025: Several bills on the judiciary won’t move forward  Throughout the session, we've discussed many bills relating to Utah's judiciary. This week, a deal was struck between the State Legislature and the Utah Judicial Council, resulting in the withdrawal of several bills affecting Utah's judicial system. Inside Sources discuss the bills that were pulled and the ones that are still going forward.    House GOP leadership urges Republican lawmakers to skip town hall meetings  On this show, we've discussed the importance (or unimportance) of town hall meetings several times. Some of our hosts think they're pointless and outdated, some go for entertainment, and others think they have an important place in politics. But now, House Speaker Mike Johnson is urging GOP lawmakers to skip town halls. Is this a good or a bad idea?

This episode is the first of a 2-part series where we hear a powerful interview with Army combat vet, Purple Heart recipient turned software developer Lukas Simianer- who fights the VA for vets, and wins.Wounded in Afghanistan at the age of 19, Lukas left the military with only a few hundred bucks in his pocket and started the difficult transition from enlisted soldier to civilian life.He struggled with his own mental health, isolation, lack of any meaningful DoD support and eventually endured being so poor that he lived in a rat infested trailer.But rather than accepting a tragic defeat, he made a bold commitment to change his life and taught himself computer programming.Lukas shares his dramatic story, exposes how the DoD still fails to properly support enlisted veterans after their service and how he became a pioneering tech entrepreneur.We conclude this episode with the story behind his first success as a software developer, creating Clusiv- the world's first online learning platform built for people who are blind.But that was just one step toward founding a revolutionary company that unleashes the power of AI to help his veteran brothers and sisters. Many of whom are currently battling the VA to get the support and benefits they rightfully earned.If you are struggling to get your VA benefits or correct disability rating, check out:https://vetclaims.ai/ For more on Lukas Simianer, VetClaims Founder and 82nd Airborne veteran: https://vetclaims.ai/founder-story/ Contact Phil Briggs, Host, CBS Eye on Veterans phil@connectingvets.com Follow on X:@philbriggsVet@EyeonVeterans@connectingvetsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Thinking you might need to stop drinking? This episode is for you.As we kick off the New Year, many folks attempt to give up alcohol in what's commonly called “Dry January”. But for many veterans, drinking becomes more than just a social vice … it can have dangerous, criminal and even deadly consequences.We talked with former Navy Destroyer Commanding Officer, Jay Wylie, who shared his battle with booze, and how drinking went from a coping mechanism, to collapsing his military career.Tracing the origins of his drinking to college, Wylie described a military culture that appeared to embrace it. He shared a remorseful look at his drinking problem, “I ended up getting so drunk and stupid on liberty with a couple of female crew members, that I broke every rule in the Captain's book.” His booze-fueled behavior eventually led to conviction on sexual assault charges, which resulted in; being relieved of command of USS Momsen (DDG-92), court martialed, and sentenced to 42 months.In hindsight Wylie revealed, “as painful as that was… that's what it took to get me sober.”He also shared the steps he personally took to end the destructive pattern caused by his out of control drinking.Now with 13 years of sobriety, he's dedicated to helping other veterans quit drugs and alcohol.Wylie also shared how his work with Confidential Recovery, in San Diego, helps guide clients through the 12-Step process, and works with VA recovery services to help vets get the treatment they need, before suffering severe alcohol related consequences.He also offers insight on whether cannabis is helpful, or just another vice.As veterans (and even non-veterans) look to goals of self-improvement in the new year, Wylie's story reveals there is hope and resources for veterans searching for a way to break the cycle and begin a better life.

Like the era we experienced during the global pandemic in 2020, the letter shows an empathy and compassion we wish we could see more often today.Carroll also shares letters from the Pacific during WWII, a snow covered Germany during WWII, and a Christmas themed letter that offers an inspiring look at post WWII Europe.Together, these letters portray how previous generations beautifully captured the human spirit in a writing style that sounds like classic Hemmingway.Check out more of these incredible letters or preserve your own famliy mementos, see Chapman University's Center for American War Letters here:https://www.chapman.edu/research/institutes-and-centers/cawl/index.aspxContact CBS Eye on Veterans Host, Phil Briggsphil@connectingvets.comFollow on X@philbriggsVet@EyeOnVeterans@connectingvetsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
