Introducing Rusty Cannon

We have a new voice joining KSL @ Night today: Rusty Cannon. Rusty is the President of the Utah Taxpayers Association. To start off his first show, he shares a little bit about his background and explains what he does in his day job.

Derek Miller on the future of Utah’s economy

According to the Wall Street Journal, Salt Lake City was America’s hottest job market in 2023. Derek Miller, President and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber, joins Rusty and Taylor to discuss the future of Utah’s economy and give the latest on the International Olympic Committee’s recent visit to Salt Lake City.

Don Stirling on Project Human Dignity

If you think about some of the biggest issues in Utah right now, homelessness is definitely at the top of the list. In order to address this issue, several groups have worked together to launch Project Human Dignity. Don Stirling, Executive Director for the Miller Family Office, joins Taylor and Rusty to explain how Project Human Dignity plans to change Utah’s approach to homelessness.

County conventions to look forward to this weekend

This weekend is going to be a busy one for county conventions. There’s at least 3 taking place this Saturday, including one at Davis County and one at Salt Lake County. If you’re looking for some intense political action, you have to be there. Rusty and Taylor explain the convention process and discuss what you can expect if you attend one for the first time.

Congressman Blake Moore on how Speaker Mike Johnson’s doing

House Speaker Mike Johnson seems to be doing a pretty decent job in Congress. What’s the “secret sauce” (as Taylor calls it) that he has that appears to be quite effective in managing what has been a very dysfunctional U.S. House of Representatives? And what’s with this new motion to vacate? Congressman Blake Moore joins the discussion.

The controversy surrounding the FISA bill

Sometimes things get a little hot in Washington D.C. Today is no exception because there’s been some controversy surrounding a bill that has to deal with FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act). A vote is coming up in the House on whether to reauthorize it. Rusty and Taylor give an in-depth breakdown.

The intersection between religion and politics in Utah

While preparing for today’s show, Taylor brought up an interesting question that sparked a discussion on the intersection between religion and politics: How can candidates communicate to voters that they share their values, without stepping too far into the realm of exploiting one’s faith?

Are Americans getting lazier or smarter?

We’ve been seeing a lot of news lately on proposals for 4-day work weeks, 32-hour work weeks, and the right to disconnect. It may sound like Americans are getting lazier, but are we really? Rusty and Taylor discuss.
