    Inside Sources Full Show April 29th, 2025: White House responds to alleged 'import surcharges' from Amazon, Liberals keep power in Canada, The state of Utah's economy
    Apr 29 2025
    Hosts: Leah Murray and Erin Rider White House rebukes Amazon for false report of ‘import surcharges’ Reports early this morning that Amazon would add a new price breakdown to their products, showing an "import surcharge." Several businesses have made similar proposals, but the alleged plan from Amazon brought a harsh rebuke from the White House. Now, Amazon says those earlier reports weren't even true. Government going after private businesses for making business decisions. But the White House says it's all political. Is it? Leah and Erin break it all down. Pres. Trump’s effects on yesterday’s Canadian elections Canada's Liberal Party has won the election up north and many people say President Trump's comments and actions towards Canada played a major part in the election results. Incumbent Prime Minister Mark Carney, who only recently took over from former P.M. Justin Trudeau, will continue to lead the country. As the dust settles, the Inside Sources hosts look back on the effect Trump had on the elections and what the future relationship between the US and Canada may look like. How supporting Ukraine could deter China Utah Senator John Curtis is calling for continued support of Ukraine and a distancing from Russian President Vladimir Putin to deter China from expanding its own military influence in the Far East. Speaking at a recent event, Senator Curtis said that our strength against Russia will show China what would happen should they go after Taiwan. Megan Reiss, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, and the Founder and CEO of SolidIntel joins the conversation. Higher education institutions continue pushing back on Pres. Trump Institutions of higher education continue their push back on the Trump Administration. Roughly 10 schools – including Ivy League and other private research universities – have joined together in a new private collective to resist President Trump. And a letter condemning the President has been signed by a university president here in Utah. The Inside Sources hosts discuss the latest higher education efforts to fight the administration. The role of the federal government in immigration policy The 2010 Utah Compact spells out how we – as a state – will handle the issue of immigration with humanity. The first principle of the Compact is that immigration is a federal issue. With so much inaction on the federal level, is there still hope for solutions? Will Congress ever fix the broken immigration system? KSL 5 TV has been asking the state’s congressional delegation about it; we hear what they’ve said, and the hosts get into it. Smith Entertainment Group offers money to local cities to build hockey rinks Homegrown talent in ice hockey – it's a dream Ryan Smith, the head of Smith Entertainment Group and owner of the Utah Hockey Club hopes to see here in Utah. Now, the group is offering cities up to $500,000 to build more ice hockey rinks. Leah Murray and Erin Rider talk about this potential private/public partnership. The state of Utah’s economy Earlier this month, a new ‘Rich States, Poor States’ report ranked Utah as the state with the best economic outlook. When the report was released, we spoke with the head of ALEC – the group that sponsored the report – about why Utah ranks so high. Today, we chat more about the long-term economic outlook for the state with Ryan Starks, Executive Director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity. What one local mayor learned on a bike ride through central Utah Earlier this month, West Jordan Mayor Dirk Burton took a more than 400-mile bike ride from Salt Lake City through rural central Utah on his way to a conference in St. George. He stopped and chatted with local mayors along the ride, discussing the needs and issues facing small-town Utahns. He joins Inside Sources to talk a bit more about his journey.
