Despite the complaints Holly's gotten in the past for her views on immigration, she's standing by them: she believes the human should come first before the alleged crime. So the news that Utah ranks among the top 10 states for the rate of ICE arrests really bothers her. What's more, a new report from the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general found that some detainees in Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz" faces inhumane conditions. She and Greg discuss both immigration-related stories.
Despite her innocence -- she has not been proven guilty in a court of law -- federal lawmakers are calling for the public execution of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts woman charged with killing her three children. She claims she did so while experiencing postpartum psychosis, and a jury failed to unanimously convict her of anything several weeks ago. Holly gives her hot takes on lawmakers calling for the death of an innocent person.
Some of the AI industry's biggest leaders have been calling on Congress to add more safeguards around artificial intelligence and now, Utah's governor is echoing those calls. Yesterday, Governor Cox posted a letter on X asking for Congress to create a national framework to establish rules, regulations, and safeguards for AI. Commissioner of the Utah Department of Commerce Margaret Busse help craft the message; she joins us to explain what the governor really wants. Deseret News congressional correspondent Cami Mondeaux also joins Inside Sources to give insights into whether or not Congress has an appetite to take up the issue before the midterms.
The past couple of years have highlighted some rather tense relations between the state legislature and the Utah Supreme Court; for example, redistricting, abortion access, and expanding the state's high court. Those tensions were definitely on legislator's minds yesterday as a Senate confirmation committee interviewed two men the Governor hopes to put on the bench. Greg and Holly discuss how these two nominees may change the relationship between the legislature and the judiciary.
"That sound you hear is the collective sigh of relief from election officials." That's how Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson reacted to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to block President Trump's order restricting mail-in voting before the midterms. The President isn't happy about the decision, slamming the justices this morning on social media. What does the court's order mean? Will our elections go ahead as previously planned? Utah Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson joins the show to explain. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas also discusses the future court battles that could follow mail-in voting in the years to come.
What's the biggest library late fee you've ever paid? Or maybe you didn't pay… but how big was the charge? How about $12,000? One man back East had that fee for a 132-year-old overdue magazine. But here's the kicker: he won't have to pay the fee after all!
This was such a sad, crazy story when it broke last March -- three women killed in Wayne County. Their money and cars were stolen in the process. Prosecutors say Ivan Miller killed the three in an attempt to get home to Iowa. It appears to be a completely random thing, but that doesn't make it any easier to process. Miller's due in court today, so Inside Sources takes the chance to ask KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas about the case.
A lackluster winter, a weird spring, and a hot, dry summer -- all things that make farming and ranching here in Utah and across the West more challenging than normal. Mixed with a difficult economy, international tariffs, and challenges with herd sizes, our farmers and ranchers have sure had an uphill battle. So with all that in mind, we focus on how agriculture has been dealing with some really intense challenges. The show is first joined by Kaid Panek, brand ambassador for the American Cattlemen and former state vice president of the Utah FFA. The hosts then shift specifically to farming and are joined by Ron Stratford, President of the Utah Farmers Union.
Isn't science amazing? There's a constant shortage of organs for transplants in the country, but our animal friends may be able to help. The Deseret News reports that a man lived without dialysis for 271 days thanks to a pig kidney. With more on how this kind of thing works and what it could mean for transplants of all kinds, Greg and Holly are joined in the studio by Deseret News reporter Lois Collins.
