    Greg Peterson, President of Salt Lake Community College, joins us live to talk about the new school year at Utah's largest open-access institution.

    The silent generation: Are we forgetting how to talk and read? 

     
    Two striking pieces paint a picture of a culture going quiet. The Washington Post explores the "Gen Z stare" — a viral social media phenomenon — alongside research showing Americans are speaking roughly 300 fewer words per day with each passing year, a 28% decline from 2005 to 2019, especially among people under 25. Meanwhile, The Atlantic declares "the end of reading is here," arguing we've entered a postliterate age. We connect the dots between screens replacing conversation, shrinking attention spans and what it all means for how we communicate, connect and consume information.

    NYC bans AI in schools through 8th grade — should Utah follow? 

     
    New York City has announced the nation's broadest generative AI moratorium in schools, banning student-facing AI tools from pre-K through eighth grade for the 2026–27 school year. We discuss how it works. Then, what do students lose when they stop writing? As AI reshapes how kids learn and think, we explore what's at stake for critical thinking, creativity and the next generation's relationship with the written word.

    Shocker: Majority of Americans say corruption is widespread in government

    Gallup polling just put out a new report this morning with this title: "Record-high 89% in U.S. say government corruption widespread." Nearly 90% -- spread across all political ideologies -- think that corruption is at the highest it's ever been! Is anyone truly surprised? Greg and Holly say their biggest shock was how it went from less than 60% in 2006 to roughly 30% higher in only 20 years.

    Congress discusses ways to address and change birthright citizenship

    Congress may pick up where the Supreme Court left off with birthright citizenship. The high court gave a kind of mixed bag on the issue in the spring, but upheld the fact that the President could not redefine a constitutional amendment with an executive order. But with the House back in session right now, they're looking into ways to restrict birthright citizenship. In a hearing on Capitol Hill, the House Oversight Committee is looking at so-called birth tourism.

She was also found guilty of conspiring to murder her husband's first wife. Well now, the Idaho Supreme Court has set a date for her appeal: November 2nd.

    It's World Coconut Day, prompting us to propose a big change: we think it should no longer be "the world is your oyster," but become "the world is your coconut" instead. Coconuts are pretty divisive, but they have some really cool history and uses in things like healthcare and gardening.

This major complex will take the site of the former Sears store, which has become home to a lake and lots of birds since the building was demolished. In this segment, we hear from leaders with Intermountain Health, officials at LDS Hospital, and SLC Mayor Erin Mendenhall.

    Spanish Fork City Council votes to table data center discussions for two weeks

    Residents in Spanish Fork will have to wait another few weeks to find out whether or not the city council will make changes that would open the door to a data center in their town. The city is the latest to face strong pushback from its residents over a potential data center. In this case, there's a proposal to build one near the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon. Amidst the opposition, the mayor says he's supportive of the development, calling it an opportunity. We hear comments from him during last night's meeting, and the Inside Sources hosts broaden the conversation to talk about nationwide feelings on data centers.

The Kirk family is asking that things move ahead more quickly, but will they? KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas weighs in on whether we should expect everything else in this case to move forward just as slowly.

    It. Is. Time. The "ber" months are finally upon us

    Did you feel a little chill in the air this morning? It's not just you -- the first day of September blessed us with some cooler temperatures last night. Many say the next four "ber" months are the best of the entire year: September, October, November, and December. Now it hasn't gotten too cold just yet, but there already seems to be a crispness in the air -- how exciting!

    The videos of the flooding in Nepal were terrifying to see at the time. And now the pictures coming out of the damaged and destroyed areas are equally heartbreaking. Rescue efforts are underway in the region, but they're being hamstrung by muddy conditions. More than 1,000 people are confirmed deceased in Nepal and Tibet, and thousands more are missing.

    There are only 10 days to go until the 25th anniversary of the devastating, tragic terror attacks on 9/11. In the lead-up to this special anniversary, we're learning that the alleged mastermind behind the attacks won't have his confessions admitted in court.  A military judge has now thrown out the confessions because of how they were obtained.

Today, the man accused of shooting and killing political influencer Charlier Kirk is back in court for what's supposed to be the final day of his preliminary hearing… which started more than a month ago. But first -- another hiccup: Tyler Robinson's defense team is once again asking the judge to bar cameras from the courtroom during the final hearing. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas shares his myriad of thoughts on the case, the constant motions on cameras, and the amount of time this whole thing has taken.

    Polling: Republicans may face a white married woman problem in the upcoming midterms

    Republicans appear to have a big problem heading into the midterms: white, married women. New polling shows that Democrats are hurtling towards the midterms with an 18-point advantage. For a little context, that's what happened in the 2018 midterms. Even Republican lawmakers across the country say there's a problem. Republican Representative from Florida Kat Cammack told Politico that women are concerned about affordability, and the GOP isn't delivering on the promise to bring prices down. Holly has some opinions about this polling; she gives her hot takes.

    Price of gas continues to hurt Americans' wallets -- could a deal with Venezuela help?

    With gas prices being so high over the last several months, many have looked for a way to save a few bucks. But stealing gas is generally frowned upon. The Freedom Fuel network launched a few months ago with the support of President Trump. Now, it’s facing a lawsuit claiming it never paid for the fuel it sold. At the same time, President Trump is touting a deal that would allow the U.S. access to vast oil reserves in Venezuela. The President says it'll drop gas prices, but will it result in any relief… soon? GasBuddy's Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick De Haan shares his expertise.

    Helmet laws change for e-mobility devices -- are you prepared?

    Hundreds of thousands of kids are back in the classroom right now, and many of them are probably using things like bikes or scooters to get to school. Now you may have missed this, but a new helmet law went into effect in May, and this is the first school year with the changes. Law enforcement and state safety officials say now's the time to remind people of the changes. So what do you need to know to make sure your kids and grandkids get to and from school safely... and legally? The hosts chat with Jason Mettmann, Communications Manager for the Utah Highway Safety Office.

    Utah-based Huntsman Cancer Institute helps in development, testing of breakthrough drug for pancreatic cancer

    It's always nice to finish the week off with positive news. And when it comes to cancer, any developments in treatment deserve applause. This week, we learned that the FDA has approved a drug that has been shown to extend the median overall survival for people with advanced pancreatic cancer... by nearly double. We also learned that Utah's top cancer research center in the state -- the Huntsman Cancer Institute -- played a critical role in the development and testing of this drug. We bring in an expert for more information: Dr. Conan Kinsey, a gastrointestinal oncologist with Huntsman Cancer Institute who focuses on pancreatic cancer.

    Jury deliberations continue for Lindsay Clancy

    This morning, the jury deliberations continue in the triple murder case for Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts woman charged with killing her three children. Defense attorneys say she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, but did the jury buy it? In fact, the jury requested to examine two pieces of evidence again today -- what does Greg make of that? We also hear from Clancy's attorney, who says his client is anxious about the jury's looming decision.

    President Trump's order on mail-in voting hits yet another snag

    Another day, another hiccup for President Trump's executive order on mail-in voting. Overnight, another federal judge blocked the order from going into effect, saying it's too close to the midterm election for states to get everything in order. So what the heck is actually happening? Greg and Holly break it down.

Today, the Governor announced that he will nominate Judge Matthew Bell and Michael Menssen. The two will now go through the Senate confirmation process. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas talks more about who these men are and what they may bring to the bench.

    Not for sale: Persistent would-be homebuyers create nuisance for homeowners

    Persistent offers to buy homes not on the market are ramping up, and homeowners are getting pretty fed up with it. These potential buyers are going out of their way to text, call, email, and send regular mail to homeowners, often offering to buy the home quickly or even for cash. The would-be buyers are even going to family members of homeowners -- casting a wide net to get any kind of bite. KSL Investigator Matt Gephardt dug into the issue to try and find out if these are scams and to see just how big of a problem this actually is. Inside Sources executive producer Andy Cupp has had his own problems with these offers; he joins Greg and Holly to share his experience.

    100+ tech companies pen letter calling on government to enact more protections against rogue AI

    More than 100 tech companies are now joining in on an open letter warning about the potential dangers of AI. What's so interesting about this is that many of these companies are the same ones developing AI. In the letter, they warn that AI-powered cyberattacks are on the verge of becoming far more widespread and far more sophisticated. They urge governments to do more to protect the most vulnerable, like hospitals and utilities. But here's the big question from the Inside Sources hosts: why can't those AI companies work together to create boundaries and safeguards? Why do they need the government to do it?

    Forget the fry sauce and the burgers with pastrami... Utah has officially entered the fancy-food era. South Salt Lake’s Monte just became the first restaurant in Utah to earn a Michelin star. So… does that mean we have to start calling it “gastronomy” instead of dinner? Eh… only if you can pronounce “gastronomy.”

    The fight over mail-in voting continues

    Several Democrat-led states have filed another lawsuit against the Trump Administration over the President's push for more restrictions on voting by mail. This week, the Supreme Court ruled that the states that had sued the administration sued too early. And the U.S. Postal Service has also announced their rule changes to implement the President's executive order. At the same time, a recent audit of voter rolls in Weber County turned up some news that'll hopefully help people have more faith and confidence in the electoral system. Greg and Jim discuss both.

    Republicans face increasing pushback on President Trump's support for data centers

    We still have a few months left in the year, but it feels like the story of the year here in Utah will be data centers. And we're not alone; the pushback on data centers exists nationwide and across party lines. In fact, the Republican opposition to data centers continues to grow pretty quickly, and it's putting President Trump in a precarious situation.

    Utah Drought: Church issues guidance, updates on reservoirs, and how the drought's affecting wildlife 

    In this deep-dive, Inside Sources host Greg Skordas and guest host Jim Bennett discuss several aspects dealing with the ongoing drought that's plaguing both Utah and the rest of the West. In this special coverage, they discuss: 

    • The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' recent statement on the drought, encouraging members to take both personal steps and support public efforts to conserve water.  

    • How the drought has added additional strain on our reservoirs and whether or not the monsoonal moisture we've received has helped. They're joined in the studio by Laura Haskell, drought coordinator with Utah Division of Water Resources. 

    • The effect of the drought on wildlife. With hunting season starting soon and bear encounters doubling this year, the drought has been pushing more wildlife to find food and resources in different places. Faith Heaton Jolly, PIO at the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, joins the conversation.

    A man who spent decades on death row -- but had his conviction overturned -- will stay in jail as he awaits a new trial, at least for now. The judge didn't rule on bond for Douglas Carter yesterday, but he did rule that Carter must submit to a DNA test. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas explains the DNA test and why it matters now, knowing that DNA testing technology didn't exist at the time of Carter's alleged crime.

In honor of National Burger Day, the Inside Sources hosts discuss a controversial topic… on which topping ruins a burger.

    A man who allegedly claimed to be the mastermind behind the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, will finally get his day in court. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has been in government custody since 2003 -- and held at Guantanamo Bay since 2006 -- but he's never had a trial. He's been waiting for more than 20 years now, and he'll have to wait two more years. Greg tries to understand why the judge over the case said a hearing in 2027 was too soon.

    Absolutely devastating video coming out of Nepal right now, following catastrophic flooding in the Himalayan country. The massive floods are now thought to have come following an earthquake, which prompted a glacial collapse and debris flow. Unfortunately, the risk of additional flooding remains today. And now, we're also learning about some similarities with our own mountains and glaciers here in Utah -- a bit of an unsettling connection.

    One of the districts that will come from the dissolution of the Alpine School District next year will move ahead with studies of 13 schools, as the newly-formed Timpanogos District mulls potential school closures. 3 junior high schools and 10 elementary schools will be studied, with final closure decisions expected later this year. The school board voted in favor of the studies last night, but it didn't come without concerns from parents and community members. Greg and guest host Jim Bennett speak with Tyler Vigue, director of communications with the Timpanogos School District, which covers the areas of Orem, Lindon, Pleasant Grove, and Vineyard.

    There are several new developments on the immigration front today. The Trump administration has issued a pause on immigrant visa appointments for applicants around the world. Plus, a visa to allow foreign professionals to live and work in the country could see a six-figure fee… about $103,000. Oh, and the administration is also cancelling 200,000 visas for asylum seekers. With so much happening with immigration right now, Inside Sources breaks down a few of the stories with a friend of the show and immigration expert, immigration attorney Carlos Trujillo.

For example, she's given hundreds of millions of books to young children -- absolutely free -- through Dolly's Imagination Library.  The program is in Utah but only on a small scale. In order for things to grow and more kids to get access to these free books, legislation is needed. Kristin Andrus is the founder of Gathering for Impact and is helping to lead the charge to get legislation passed here that would expand the Imagination Library.

    Man whose conviction and death sentence was overturned by Utah Supreme Court returns to court

    Should a man whose conviction in a death row murder case was overturned be allowed out on bail while awaiting his new trial? That's the one of the questions at the heart of a legal hearing going on today for Douglas Carter. He had been convicted of murdering Eva Olesen in the 1980s and was sentenced to death. But the Utah Supreme Court overturned his conviction last year, and he's been sitting in the Utah County Jail since then. The state's planning to retry the case but in the meantime, what happens to Douglas Carter? KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas gives his takes on this unique situation.

    As we planned today's show, we started talking more about convictions being overturned. When that happens, what generally happens to the person who spent years in jail or prison for something they didn't do? We broaden the conversation and bring in someone who works to get convictions overturned. Greg and Holly are joined by Kristy Columbia, the Executive Director of the Rocky Mountain Innocence Project.

    One baby bear must have been on the search for more than the bare necessities when he wound up near two schools in Sanpete County. It happened yesterday near Mt. Pleasant Elementary and North Sanpete High School. Those schools were placed on a secure status while officials looked for mama bear. They didn't find the mama bear, but the baby bear certainly is cute.

So what does this mean for you and your wallet -- what things are going to go up in price? Inside Sources digs into it in this segment.

    Son of man who spent years on Utah's death row speaks out

    A man who spent decades on Utah's death row and is now facing a new trial for aggravated murder is expected to learn more about his potential future tomorrow. Douglas Carter was convicted of murdering Eva Olesen in 1985. But new information -- plus misconduct by police and prosecutors during his original trial -- resulted in his conviction and death sentence being overturned by the Utah Supreme Court.

     

    As attorneys prepare for a new trial, Carter's biological son is speaking publicly for the first time about this whole process and experience, and how learning who his father was at 18 has dictated much of his adult life. KSL spoke exclusively with Tyler Anger and his wife, Melissa, about the experience. KSL Podcasts executive producer Amy Donaldson has been covering this story; she joins Greg and Holly with more on the Angers' experiences.

That clears the way for the U.S. Postal Service to potentially refuse to deliver ballots based on criteria from the President.

    A family in Colorado is facing $300,000 in medical debt, more than two years after a K-9 officer living next door climbed the fence and attacked a two-year-old girl and her father. Recently, the K-9 handler was found 'not guilty' in the incident because he has immunity as a member of law enforcement doing his official duties -- in this case, he was cleaning the K-9 officer's cage. In this edition of "Ask the Attorney," Holly consults KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas on this immunity claim and why the family is having such a hard time finding a lawyer to take their case.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports that an unauthorized camera recently appeared on city property in Millcreek… right by city hall. The problem is that no one knows where it came from or who installed it.
