    Supreme Court returns to the bench for a new term
    The United States Supreme Court returned to the bench in Washington, DC today as a new term begins. They’ve already agreed to hear more than 40 appeals during the next several months. We talk about some of the major topics set to be discussed: transgender care, guns, the environment, vaping, and age restrictions on pornography. We also take a few moments to talk about some of the more recent controversies surrounding the Court, and how things are looking now.

    Conservative Climate Summit offering a different take on politics and the environment
    When you hear the words “climate change” or “environmentalist,” which political party do you think of? If you’re like many, you’ve probably heard the stereotype that Republicans don’t care about the environment. The Conservative Climate Caucus, headed by Utah’s own John Curtis, aims to change that perspective. We discuss the summit they held last week at Utah Valley University. We also take a moment to talk about Utah’s public lands lawsuit and how it relates to conservation.

    One-year later: Revisiting the attacks on Israel on October 7th
    People around the world took a moment to pause and reflect today on the 1st anniversary of the brutal attack on people living in southern Israel. War has continued to spread and escalate in the year since, with thousands of people being killed on all sides. KSL at Night hosts Maura Carabello and Rusty Cannon take a few moments to reflect on all that’s happened this year in this conflict.

    New program launches to expand access to Utah’s colleges and universities
    A new educational program is launching to help Utah’s high school students have better chances at making it into college. It’s called Admit Utah, and it simplifies and guarantees admissions to one of Utah’s public colleges and universities. It also provides additional support for high school students. Cyndi Tetro, Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) Board Member joins the show to go in-depth on the new program with the KSL at Night hosts.

    Report: Utah’s college-age population declining; how could that affect the state?
    Utah’s long been known as the youngest state in the nation, but changing demographics show that the population is getting older. With it comes a decrease in younger folks – especially college-age adults. We continue our discussion on college by looking at the trends that show a decrease in young folks.

    Younger workers value an employer’s charitable values
    More and more employers around the country are discovering a change in priorities for their employees. It’s not always about money anymore; an employer’s value on charitable work has now become a top priority for Generations Z and Alpha. We finish the show discussing changing values in the workplace.

    Oct 5 2024

    Hosts: Greg Skordas and Leah Murray

    Salt Lake County Mayor Debate The Salt Lake County Mayor’s seat is up for election in November and last night, the two candidates debated on some of the topics that have been worrying Salt Lake residents, namely: County spending and funding, homelessness, and the housing market. Leah and Greg discuss the same issues and why Salt Lake County residents need to pay attention. Dock Workers come to an agreement The port strike is over after dock workers were able to come to an agreement on Thursday. The agreement doesn’t solve all of the disagreements between the two sides, but it’s a good starting point. Dave Davis, President of the Utah Retail Merchants Association, joins the show to discuss how the negotiations went down and how just a 4-day strike could have an impact for months after. Utah man arrested in relation to Jan. 6 A Utah man and his brother from Iowa have been arrested on suspicion of assaulting law enforcement, among other charges, related to the breach of the US capitol on Jan. 6th. Leah and Greg discuss why this prosecution is happening almost 4 years after the event, and how this is a bad example of how to react to a presidential election’s results. Previewing a KSL NewsRadio special: Condemned to Die It’s both a sensitive – and an important – topic: the death penalty. It’s been all over the news recently due to the state’s execution of Taberon Honie in August. This Saturday, KSL NewsRadio will air a special hour of Condemned to Die: Examining the death penalty through a lens of faith. Co-host of the special, KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas gives us a preview of this radio special. Looking into some of the smaller election races This November’s election isn’t just for the presidency. There are dozens of other races that will be decided that may shape Utah over the next few years. KSL at Night host, Taylor Morgan, joins the show to talk about which races to pay attention to, and which races might be closer than they seem. Election security and integrity at the forefront of this year’s election A letter was intercepted by the FBI en route to Lt. Governor Diedre Henderson’s office two weeks ago. Similar packages delivered to election offices across the country were all signed “United States Traitor Elimination Army.” Henderson’s office is in charge of Utah’s elections and she has tried to address concerns about election security and she emphasized the safety of election workers. It’s safe to say that people are concerned about the way elections are being handled all over the country. Utah Election Rundown Utahns who are already registered to vote may be receiving their ballots as early as October 15th and a month from tomorrow is election day. So that gives us essentially one month to figure out who to vote for, and for some of us… to register to vote. Leah and Greg break down what’s going to be on the ballot, and what to do with it once you’ve filled it out. Previewing a KSL TV special: These United States The United States may not be as diverse as it seems when it comes to human nature. KSL 5 TV Executive Producer, Angie Denison, joins the show to talk about her special project, These United States, which is airing on KSL 5 in between sessions of General Conference on Saturday. She shares what inspired the project and invites everyone to watch.
