Trump's Presidency & Utah Legislative Session Begin

  • Summary

  • Following his inauguration, President Donald Trump signed a flood of executive orders including actions on immigration, public safety, and birthright citizenship. He also pardoned approximately 1,500 people convicted of crimes related to the events of January 6th, 2021, including 18 Uthans.

    Governor Spencer Cox focused his State of the State Address on building affordable homes, energy production, regulatory reform, and strengthening families and communities in Utah.

    The 45-day Legislative Session also kicked off with Utah legislators proposing bills to protect kids from social media, change how Utahns pass ballot initiatives, and amend the election process.

    What do lawmakers care about most and how could these sweeping changes in government affect Uthans?

    Republican Majority Leader Sen. Kirk A. Cullimore, Democratic Minority Leader Sen. Luz Escamilla, Bountiful City Councilwoman Kate Bradshaw, and host Jason Perry break down these important issues on this week's episode of The Hinckley Report.
