  • Why didn’t I know sooner?

    I loved listening to to Lindsay at her previous employer and sad when she left. I’m disappointed I didn’t find this podcast sooner. She has some of my favorite guests. She does excellent reporting and is a great moderator.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

O'Leary releases plan to scale back Stratos, Gov. Cox declares June "Fidelity Month"
Q: One of the questions I really posed to him was, why is this being fixed now at this process in the point where we're shrinking the size, obviously, there's kind of an obvious answer here.
O'Leary acknowledged missteps in the initial rollout, admitted some wrong assumptions, and expressed a commitment to addressing concerns and improving outreach, while maintaining that the project still has a broad economic and strategic value for Utah.
State leaders preparing for a long, dry summer as Gov. Cox declares drought
Q: What does the state engineer actually do when it comes to changing water rights and applications?
The state engineer reviews change applications to ensure they don't enlarge the underlying water right, don't deplete more water, or impair existing rights, and assess criteria like financial feasibility, public welfare, and water availability, while balancing the proposed new use against existing uses.
What the Colorado River deal means for Utah, Court rules Utah can regulate Kalshi as gambling
Q: What does the Kalshi ruling mean for Utah's ability to enforce its gambling laws?
The ruling confirms that Utah can enforce its gambling statutes against Kalshi and similar predictive markets, reinforcing state law supremacy in this area and guiding enforcement approaches going forward.
What the Colorado River deal means for Utah, Court rules Utah can regulate Kalshi as gambling
Q: What were your initial thoughts on the environmental plan and its implications for Utah?
The plan is a long-negotiated proposal that avoids mandatory cuts for Utah because the secretary lacks authority to cut upper-basin water use, but relies on voluntary reductions and a designated pool to hold conserved water, with the goal of broader basin cooperation.
Kevin O'Leary addresses data center backlash on Inside Utah Politics
Q: How much money do you stand to make from this project, and how does that depend on future tenant terms?
The exact financials depend on tenant terms and rights of first refusal, but the speaker emphasizes that he won't recoup the $15 billion until activities are up and running with tenants, highlighting risk and timing rather than guaranteed profit.
