Hosts: Leah Murray and Adam Gardiner
Pres. Trump signs executive order to end the Department of Education
The process to fully dismantle the U.S. Department of Education is now underway. Fulfilling a campaign promise, President Trump signed an executive order to start the process yesterday. There are still a lot of questions about what all the President can actually do to end the Department since it requires an act of Congress to fully dismantle and eliminate the Department. Leah Murray and Adam Gardiner discuss this historic movement.
Town Hall meeting filled with chaos, yelling at two of Utah’s U.S. Reps.
Anger, frustration, commotion -- you could say it was quite a fiasco at last night's Town Hall hosted by Utah's Congressional Representative Celeste Maloy (UT-2) and Representative Mike Kennedy (UT-3). Much of the anger from constituents centered around Elon Musk and DOGE cuts to federal programs. People also voiced a lot of concern with what they say is a Congress not willing to push back on President Trump. The Inside Sources hosts give their thoughts on how to have civil discourse and the two Representatives join the show to add to the discussion.
Tesla vandalism to be seen as domestic terrorism?
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says vandalism and attacks on Tesla vehicles will be considered domestic terrorism, all while Utah Governor Spencer Cox says Tesla vandals should be imprisoned. So where's the line between vandalism and domestic terrorism... which carry very different punishments. And if vandalizing Teslas is domestic terrorism, was the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol also domestic terrorism? The hosts talk about the hypocrisy of it all.
Senator Mike Lee calls for restrictions on federal judges
Utah Senator Mike Lee is calling for restrictions on federal judges who rule against President Trump's orders.

This segment, Leah Murray and Adam Gardiner discuss checks and balances, and the overall separation of power as it relates to the judiciary.
