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.

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.

A new educational program is launching to help Utah’s high school students have better chances at making it into college.

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.
