KSL's Inside Sources

A new report from the Utah Women & Leadership Project highlights a declining trend in suicide around the state -- very good news after years of increasing rates.  Jared Hawkins, assistant professor at Utah State University, licensed marriage and family therapist, and co-author of the report,  joins Inside Sources to talk about the differences in trends depending on demographics, as w...

A few years ago... the state legislature passed a law banning certain foreign entities from owning land in Utah. That law meant that a Chinese-owned company was forced to sell the Utah Motorsports Campus in Tooele County. Today, the campus is unveiling its new name and plan for the future. Greg and Holly talk a bit about the law and why it was such a big deal when it passed.

As we finish off the week, Holly wanted to spend a few minutes talking about some cute animal stories in the news. They start by discussing the positive updates on a K-9 officer from Park City who was injured earlier this week. Bruno broke two legs and his jaw, but his surgery went well, and he's now been released from the pet hospital. Then, at the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium, there are new o...

A lawsuit from several authors against the state of Utah will be allowed to move forward after all. This week, a federal judge said the authors have standing to sue the state over the book ban law that recently went into effect. The state had tried to get the lawsuit dismissed, basically saying that there's no constitutional right to have certain books in public libraries. In this edition of Ask t...

The wild weather we've had this morning has let up, but anytime we get some good moisture, our minds go to the Great Salt Lake. As we've reported many times before, the lake faces a really challenging and potentially deadly future. Yesterday, journalists got to tour the lake with state leaders. KSL digital politics reporter Bridger Beal-Cvetko  joined them, and he joins Inside Sources to chat...

Much of the Wasatch Front got pummeled with rain this morning, causing delays and crashes on the highways due to standing water. Outside of KSL Broadcast House, the dark grey clouds made the sky look pretty darn menacing. Some school districts saw bus delays due to the weather, and people living in Wasatch County saw massive hail last night too.  KSL NewsRadio's Cormick Bone  joins Greg...

After thirty years of gracing daytime television with her attitude and wit, Judge Judy is hanging up her signature black gown and banging her gavel one final time. That's right; Judge Judy says it's time to take a step back from being on-screen. After that chat, Greg and Holly finish the show with Holly's fun facts and Greg's closing argument.

Do you know where your food comes from? It's an honest question, and it's a point of concern among American food producers. A recent  op-ed  in the  New York Times highlights concerns with the Trump administration's plans to allow foreign meat onto our store shelves. The goal is to bring down the high prices of meat, especially the really high price of beef. But the move has cattle...

Well, here's something you might find a little reminiscent of the Cold War: weapons in space. This week, we learned that the United States has deployed weapons into space and will use them to defend American forces here on Earth  and  in space. Now, one of the Trump administration's top military advisors says the military needs to adapt and prepare now for future conflicts in space.

There's a really interesting situation that's been playing out at the University of Utah over the last few days. It's blown up on social media and it's brought to light this concept of "doxxing." If you're not familiar with that term, it's the act of publishing private or personal details about someone online without their permission. And it's coming up thanks to an incident around the anniversary...

Robinson preliminary hearing will drag on into September Federal housing bill will go into effect without Pres. Trump's signature Utah Rising: Helping Utah businesses grow Gas prices on the rise again, White House launches "Freedom Fuel Network" Helping Utah refugees get into the back-to-school spirit Previewing this week's movie: the live-action Moana

The big movie this week revisits a well-loved Disney animated movie, Moana. But this time, it won't be a cartoon; it'll be live-action.  KSL Movie Show hosts Andy Farnsworth and Val Cameron  join Greg and Holly to preview the movie and discuss what makes it different from the original Moana.

Back-to-school shopping deals are already popping up at stores around the country. We still have more than a month before schools really start, but it's already time to get prepared. Back-to-school shopping can be pretty intense, especially if you're not used to it. And for refugees here in Utah (who aren't as familiar with the process or just simply don't have the extra funds to buy all this stuf...

The changing fuel and oil prices have been a nightmare over the last few months. Just when you think we're getting some relief, the prices shoot right back up. The War in Iran has made things all sorts of topsy-turvy, but could a plan called the "Freedom Fuel Network" help drive prices down? The White House sure thinks so, but Greg and Holly have a lot of outstanding questions before they'll get o...

Utah's economy remains hot hot hot – just like our weather. But at the same time, it can easily feel like our lives are getting more and more expensive... and our wallets are getting lighter and lighter.  Derek Miller, President and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber joins to talk about the connections between the economy and our wallets, and how a program called Utah Rising is working to hel...

President Trump is following through on his earlier promises not to sign a massive, widely supported bipartisan bill to give more Americans opportunities to buy a home. This bill had a lot of support and it looks like it could really make a difference for a lot of Americans who don't currently have the chance to get into homeownership. But alas, the President won't sign it because the voting bill...

Whelp, we called it... The preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson (the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk) is not going to finish today. The judge overseeing the case has scheduled closing oral arguments for the preliminary hearing for September 1st. That means we won't know if this will go to trial until September. Greg's once again not happy and Holly is gobsmacked.

Dangerously high temperatures are knocking on our door. Triple-digit heat is expected through the weekend and into next week. And on Sunday, we could break the all-time high temperature record for Salt Lake City. To get the latest on the forecast – and to find out if there's any relief in store – Inside Sources chats with  KSL Meteorologist Matt Johnson . Hot weather can also nega...

Whether you knew her for "Total Eclipse of the Heart" or "I Need a Hero" (which was made famous in the Utah-made movie "Footloose"), Bonnie Tyler was a major part of the 80s music scene. Overnight, she passed away at the age of 75. Greg and Holly reminisce about her before turning to a new discovery from scientists: elephants aren't actually scared of mice. Wait what?

When we talk about fuel and energy, one thing we can't miss is nuclear energy. It's a hot topic in Utah right now with strong feelings on both sides of the argument. But what's the real story?  KSL NewsRadio's Maria Shilaos  has a brand new podcast called the KSL News Daily and today and tomorrow, she takes a deep dive on nuclear. She joins Inside Sources to discuss what she learned from...

Should we drain Lake Powell to make sure we can save Lake Mead? It's a proposal being made by some scientists in the Colorado River watershed, who say it's more important that Lake Mead stay above a certain level than Lake Powell. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management isn't quite on board with the idea; they're working on some short-term solutions right now to help Lake Powell. Do you agree with the...

Bigger and better than ever -- is that true with the growing data centers around the country? It depends on who you ask. KSL went to Loudon County, Virginia -- aka Data Center Alley -- to find out what they think there. We talked a little about that earlier this week with Daniella Rivera. Reporter Mike Anderson has also been digging into data centers. In his most recent report, he digs into the re...

The U.S. Supreme Court will review -- and possibly take up -- a court case from here in Utah. The topic of this case is whether or not it's legal for the court to sentence a minor to life in prison without parole. You may not know this, but it's already not legal to sentence a minor to death. But the question here is whether a life sentence for a minor is in the same vein. The Utah Supreme Court r...

After suffering a slew of defeats over redistricting and proposed constitutional amendments on ballot initiatives, state legislative leaders say they are pushing pause on previous proposals to restrict ballot initiatives. What could be the motivation for this decision? Could it be that a series of defeats -- including incumbents losing their primaries -- have influenced the move? Holly and Greg di...
