9:05 - 9:20 - Blackface video controversy
Utah is back in the national spotlight - but for a bad reason. A viral video shows Utah teens walking around a Walmart in Cedar City in blackface and prisoner costumes for Halloween. To top it off, they were accompanied by a white female dressed as a police officer. Governor Cox has responded with disappointment. Dan Rascon from KSL 5 joins the show to share what he found out about the video, police and school district involvement, and the wrong kids being improperly outed as culprits in Black face costumes.
9:35 - Drag show in St. George
KSL.com investigation reveals how a drag show in the “town square” in St. George caused a stir behind the scenes at City Hall and may have cost taxpayers a $625k payout to a top city official. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas weighs in on if drag shows can ever be banned in the town square.

10:05 - GOP vs. Democrat mail-in voting trends
Utah’s mail-in voting is slower this year compared to 2018 and 2020’s elections. National Republicans have increasingly opposed absentee ballots since 2016, but Utah has stood apart in its support for the practice. Are Republicans voting less by mail this year? What will the slowdown mean for the overall election? Longtime Salt Lake County Clerk Sherrie Swensen joins the show to discuss the trends and what they mean for Utah.
10:20 - Breakdown of Evan McMullin’s interview
Last night, Utah Senate candidate Evan McMullin joined KSL at Night to emphasize how an independent Utah Senator would make Utah matter more nationally. Joined by Leah Murray, Political Science Professor at Weber State University and Host of KSL at Night, Dave and Debbie dig into the interview’s details, including a national debate that was supposed to happen on Fox News and was shut down by Senator Lee’s campaign.
10:35 - 10:50 - Should TikTok be banned?
The FCC announced that the U.S. should ban TikTok due to privacy concerns regarding China’s involvement with the app, and FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has been warning about this since June of this year. This brings up the question: Should TikTok be banned? Dave and Debbie discuss with Earl Foote, CEO of Nexus IT Consultants, who shares his thoughts on what we need to worry about.
11:05 - News around the world with Boyd Matheson
As the nation sets their focus on the midterm elections, there are other parts of the world that are going through similar issues. Brazil and Israel are also in election season. In the UK, the new Prime Minister is starting his role. North Korea keeps firing missiles and supplying artillery to Russia. Boyd Matheson, Host of KSL’s Inside Sources, joins the show to give Dave and Debbie a quick world tour of all the top news.
11:20 - Capitol police security
In 2021 alone, the Capitol Police were made aware of ten thousand threats. That huge number and the politically motivated attack on Paul Pelosi have pushed the Chief of the Capitol Police to call for heightened security for members of Congress. Dave and Debbie examine an interview this morning with ABC law enforcement reporter Luke Barr. The hosts break down the spectrum of political violence from far right to far left, which two groups receive the most threats of violence, and how much more security will be needed.
11:35 - Senator Mike Lee’s campaign
Election Day is just a few days away, meaning that it’s time to get those ballots filled out. Earlier we did a breakdown of Evan McMullin’s campaign and interview with KSL at Night.

Amelia Powers Gardner, Utah County Commissioner and Campaign Chair for Senator Mike Lee, joins the show to talk about the campaign and share her response to the low voter turnout in Utah.
11:50 - Blackface video updates
The viral video of the teens wearing blackface in Cedar City has received 3.4 million views on Twitter alone. What exactly are the police and school investigating? Are punishments being floated? KSL reporter Aimee Cobabe joins the show to give more details and updates on the case.
