    Utah's Congressional delegation responds to government shutdown

    The federal government has now shut down for the first time in almost 7 years. It means thousands of federal workers won't get paid. And the White House still says some of those employees could lose their jobs for good.

    Republicans are blaming the government shutdown on Democrats' refusal to pass a clean spending bill. Representative Mike Kennedy joins Maria Shilaos live on Midday to share his thoughts on the government shutdown and how he believes the federal government should follow Utah's example when it comes to budget discussions.

    Health Matters on Midday: COVID Vaccine

    Health Matters on Midday, where we dig into health topics you might be curious about. 

    Vaccine skeptics and changing recommendations from the CDC are creating a lot of confusion about who should consider getting a COVID vaccine, and whether or not they will be able to get one if they want it. The State of Utah just changed its guidance for pharmacists, now allowing the COVID vaccine to be administered without a prescription.

    Dr. Richard Ferguson is an emergency room doctor and the president of Black Physicians of Utah. He joins Maria Shilaos to break down who should get a COVID vaccine and why it's still important to remain vigilent when it comes to the disease, especially as the weather begins to turn.

    Tylenol and autism: Is there a connection?

    Today, the Trump Administration announced that they have found links between taking Tylenol during pregnancy and autism. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior said, earlier this year, that he wanted to find a root cause to autism by this month, but many researchers who have studied autism links for decades say several months isn't enough time. 

    In this special coverage on Midday, Maria Shilaos talks with two people to get their perspectives on the news. After the initial story, she speaks with Dr. Richard Ferguson, President-Black Physicians of Utah, to understand what the science says about autism and any potential connections to acetaminophen. After that, she speaks with Calleen Kenney of the Autism Council of Utah for her perspective on the news and the messaging around it.

    The role social media may have played in Tyler Robinson's alleged killing of Charlie Kirk

    The FBI says it will go after the people with whom Tyler Robinson associated before allegedly shooting and killing conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. Law enforcement officials say Robinson told a group of people on the gaming platform Discord about his plans to kill Kirk. FBI Director Kash Patel told a congressional hearing that more than 20 people were involved in this discussion.

    Maria Shilaos speaks with Mary Kent, Director or the Open Source Intelligence Center about Discord and the privacy concerns raised by the investigation. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas shares his thoughts on whether those in the conversation could face any criminal charges.

    Former FBI agent Greg Rogers also explains how social media can radicalize young people, and what parents should look out for to keep their kids safe.

    Dept. of Interior proposes rescission of Public Lands Rule

    The U.S. Secretary of the Interior says he plans to do away with a Biden Administration rule that added conservation -- or no use -- to the approved uses of BLM land. Secretary Dough Burgum says this change would restore balance in federal land management by empowering local decision-making, supporting respondible development, and prioritizing multiple-use access.

    He says the Public Lands Rule exceed the BLM's statutory authority by placing an overemphasis on conservation or no-use at the expense of multiple-use access,  threatening grazing, energy development, recreation, and other traditional land uses.

    While state lawmakers praise the move, conservationists are worried about what it could mean for the future. Director of Sporting Advocacy for the National Wildlife Federation Aaron Kindle tells Maria Shilaos that he believes rescinding this rule threatens wildlife, ranching, hunting and rural communities.
