KSL's Inside Sources

Sometimes you read a story that just makes you so mad, you want to cry or throw up. And for Holly, this is one of them. Prosecutors in New York will reopen an investigation into several Cornell University students over claims they drugged and sexually assaulted a female classmate several times and with several men. The developments come following a new lawsuit from the female, who left the univers...

With the midterms just 5 weeks away, the economy is at the top of many voters' minds. With diesel prices at record highs and consumer sentiment falling even lower, the party in power -- the Republicans -- have a nearly impossible task before them if they want to keep control of Congress.  President Trump thinks he has a solution, at least for bringing the price of diesel down. But economists...

It's not often we talk about sports on this show -- it's not exactly our forte. But when sports mix with politics? Sign us up! The U.S. Senate is finishing up its last week of work in D.C. before the midterms, and they're expected to vote on a major sports bill. It's called the "Protect College Sports Act," and it's expected to address NIL -- name, image, and likeness -- among college athletes.&nb...

Every day, 17 veterans die by suicide. In fact, the V.A. says it's the second-highest cause of death for veterans under age 45. September is Suicide Prevention Month, and we talked quite a bit about that earlier this month. But as the month wraps up, we want to focus in on one group of people: our veterans. Why do veterans experience such high rates of suicide? What can be done to help them? For m...

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may remember a little catchphrase from old videos produced by the Church, which emphasized the importance of making time for families. In that same vein, the Inside Sources crew has put together a special hour-long presentation on strengthening family bonds; it'll air this coming Saturday. Ahead of that -- and on this special day -- Greg a...

The midterms are barreling closer and closer, and it appears the tides have turned. Democrats are already favored to take the U.S. House, but what about the Senate? The founder of The Cook Political Report says there’s a “very realistic” chance that Dems could take over the Senate too. Plus, the White House is running a political ad ahead of the elections, which is a repurposed a...

A man who's spent more than 40 years behind bars for a murder could walk out of jail today.

With the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and the continued pushing by bad actors around the world, more passwords are becoming easier to break. A new analysis of passwords commonly found in hacks and leaks shows some interesting patterns; KSL Investigator Matt Gephardt breaks it down with...

To celebrate her legacy today, organizations around Utah are celebrating reading and books in general. For more on this, Greg and Holly are joined by the CEO of...

Do any of these sayings look familiar? "I Like Ike," "It's the Economy, Stupid," "Yes we can," "Make America Great Again" and, of course, "Vote for Pedro." What do they all have in common? They're political campaign slogans. Well,here's a new one for you to try on for size: "Vote Super El Niño!" Ski Utah has launched a new pseudo-political campaign pushing for the Super El Niño to du...

Chinese President Xi Jinping wraps up his U.S. visit this afternoon. He and President Trump are scheduled to tour the National Archives today before President Xi departs. Earlier this morning, they had tea together. But the President complains that not all news outlets covered the visit, including the media groups he barred from the White House. The visit as a whole has faced a lot of pushback fro...

The man behind the Stratos Data Center in Box Elder County -- the project that spurred so much public pushback on data centers around the state -- now says the defamation lawsuit against him should be dismissed with prejudice (meaning it couldn't come back to court). Kevin O'Leary says no reasonable person who saw him make the claims on Fox News of Chinese spies would actually take them as factual...

A wide majority of Utahns say they agree with comments made by President Dallin H. Oaks of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at a Constitution Day event last week. Greg and Holly continued to be inspired by those remarks; they've spoken about them a few times now. Today, we're reading that nearly 9 in 10 Utahns agree with President Oaks' speech, especially his belief that a person's...

Fans of The Lord of the Rings have a great opportunity to live in a version of Middle Earth here in Utah. Well, that is if they're willing to spend $38 million for a massive mansion in Provo. But hey, it's already had a $5 million price cut, so it sounds like a steal!

Speaking before the United Nations General Assembly, the Supreme Leader of Iran said his country's people had been the "victims of terrorism" by the United States. The day before, President Trump threatened to "annihilate" Iran. Neither of these seems to instill some confidence that we're working towards a deal. For some perspective on how these comments from both sides could affect the potential...

If you drive a diesel-powered vehicle… ouch. Diesel prices around the country are hovering around their all-time highs right now, and it's even worse in Utah. The Trump administration has a proposal to lower diesel prices nationwide, but the Energy Secretary says it won't work. For more on the plan and why our gas and diesel prices remain so high here in Utah -- higher than the national ave...

Chinese President Xi Jinping is now in Washington, D.C., for a multi-day round of talks with President Donald Trump. Tonight, the two will hold a large State Dinner to celebrate the partnership between the two countries. In fact, President Trump called their relationship a "truly great friendship."

Utah's been experiencing a child care crisis -- it's not new, but it's gotten worse, with higher prices and few options for child care leading many families to wonder what to do. With schools back in session, it helps with a form of child care during the day. But most parents work several hours after school gets out, so it doesn't solve all the problems. Executive director of the Utah Afterschool...

In a pretty large development, Utah County prosecutors say they no longer intend to seek the death penalty in the murder case against Douglas Carter. Carter was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of Eva Olesen back in 1985. Since then, his conviction has been overturned twice, most recently in 2022 due to police and prosecutor misconduct. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas breaks down wha...

Utah's Senator John Curtis is sharing more insights into his recent calls for congressional hearings on the Biden and Trump families' business dealings. Earlier this week, he said he's concerned about corruption and members of both families using their White House associations to make lots of money.  The Senator says he still hasn't heard from the White House about his calls, though several R...
