Pres. Trump addresses the nation following deadly plane crash 
It's the most talked-about story today -- the deadly crash in the skies between a regional passenger jet and a military helicopter, resulting in the deaths of more than 60 people. President Trump addressed the nation earlier and confirmed what many had been dreading... that there were no survivors. Inside Sources begins with a discussion on this important national story.
 
Gabbard, Patel face Senate confirmation hearings 
Senate confirmation hearings continued on Capitol Hill today as Senators grill President Trump's nominees about their pasts. Today, Tulsi Gabbard spoke to the Senate Intelligence Committee as part of the process to become the director of national intelligence. Kash Patel, Trump’s pick for FBI director, also faced difficult questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Inside Sources hosts share their big takeaways from the hearings. 
 
On the Hill 2025: Legislation addressing drug pricing 
A large PAC is campaigning against a bill currently being discussed on Utah’s Capitol Hill. The bill, SB69: Medication Amendments, is being sponsored by State Senator Evan Vickers. His legislation addresses the 340B drug program, which several large national groups do not like. State Representative Steve Eliason is an expert on the program and knows the bill well; he joins the show to explain. 
 
On the Hill 2025: Legislation proposing Election Day become a state holiday 
Our special coverage of Utah's Legislative Session continues with a look at a bill that would designate Election Day as a state holiday. The idea has been floated around the country for years now, and some states actually do have Election Day set aside as a state holiday. Utah is not one of those states, but State Representative Ryan Wilcox hopes to change that. He joins Inside Sources to discuss the motivations behind the bill. 
 
Pres. Trump proposes sending criminal illegal immigrants to Guantanamo Bay 
Guantanamo Bay is back in the news today, as President Trump directs the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security to house criminals set to be deported from the United States. It's part of his plans to crack down on illegal immigration and secure the southern border. Inside Sources host Erin Rider and guest host Jason Perry share their insights into this plan. 
 
Projecting the rise – or possible fall – of the federal deficit under Pres. Trump 
As President Trump has taken office and began working on his agenda, one question has been brought up several times, especially by very conservative members of the Republican Party: how will these decisions affect the national debt? Mike Murphy, Senior Vice President at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget joined the program before the inauguration; he joins us again to update his predictions. 
 
Pentagon agency pauses celebrations for ‘diversity’ holidays 
Federal agencies have been directed to end Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. Now, we're getting a better idea and look at how these programs will be discontinued. The Defense Department's intelligence agency recently sent out a memo saying it's pausing observances of diversity-related holidays. Inside Sources looks into the relationship between this move and President Trump’s agenda. 
 
Air taxis moving towards the future in Utah 
The future is coming into reality here in Utah, as the plan to launch air taxis moves forward. A new bill in the state legislature makes several propositions to advance air mobility. Inside Sources finishes with a discussion on the future of transportation.
