KSL's Inside Sources

Thousands of students in the Jordan School District got what Greg and Holly consider to be a really special treat: a surprise visit from a U.S. Supreme Court justice! Justice Sonia Sotomayor stopped by to share her experiences while also encouraging the young students to follow their dreams. The Inside Sources host describe what led up to this surprise drop-in and how students reacting to meeting a member of the country's highest court.

People in New York City 25 years ago describe September 11, 2001 as starting off like any other normal day. The big thing many people describe was just how beautiful, clear, and calm the day was. But that peaceful nature was shattered mid-morning by terror. The effects of that tragic day have been felt far and wide. For those of us who weren't there, it was more of a mental thing -- a complete collapse of our peace and security. For people near the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon -- where three of the attacks took place -- the effects haven't just been mental: they've been physical too. Greg and Holly discuss the ongoing health challenges affecting people who were there, including first responders and children.

As we discuss the murder of Charlie Kirk and the terror attacks of 9/11 -- the 25th anniversary is tomorrow -- we broaden out the conversation to having appropriate political disagreements. We're never going to always agree -- it's not possible. But the important thing is how we have those political disagreements. For more, the hosts speak with Former Governor Gary Herbert, who says it's okay to admit when we're wrong. Deseret News editor Sarah Jane Weaver also joins the conversation with more on the importance of listening and maintaining our humanity, even when times are difficult.

Thousands of people witnessed the terrible, murderous attack one year ago today at Utah Valley University: the shooting and murder of political influencer Charlie Kirk. He was killed in what's believed to be a targeted attack due to his political views. His supporters were left devastated and angry. Those who witnessed the killing at UVU were also left with emotional scars. And a year later, the pain is still real for thousands of people. In this special hour of Inside Sources, hosts Greg Skordas and Holly Richardson take a look back at that day, how it affected the people involved, and how our political conversations have changed over the last year. They're joined by:

"I'm sorry, Dave. I can't do that." If you know… you know. That famous line from 2001: A Space Odyssey struck fear into the hearts of many when the movie came out -- that robots and AI could make decisions that would ultimately harm or kill a human. Well, Hollywood may become a reality after all. This week, we heard some pretty startling news: artificial intelligence has a more than 10% chance of killing all humans. Yikes. But is it true? We bring in our resident tech expert Brandon Amacher, Director of the Emerging Tech Policy Lab at Utah Valley University for more insights.

We've known Utah's Lieutenant Governor has been in the crosshairs of the U.S. Department of Justice for a while now over her refusal to hand over private voter information. But overnight, we learned that Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson is under an official investigation. What makes the story more interesting… is that the L.G. also just found out that she's under investigation. It's the latest attack on Utah's electoral system and chief elections officer, all because she's following the law as it relates to voter information.

President Trump is rallying his base and hoping to appeal to more Americans ahead of the midterm elections by promising a $5,000 check to each American. The check would only come if Republicans maintain control over Congress. The announcement got quite a rise from folks attending the special GOP convention in Texas last night. But today, the promise has caused a lot of concern and heartburn from both sides of the aisle. Is it a false promise? A case of bribery? Greg and Holly share their thoughts and break down the legality of this kind of thing.

Topics we will cover on this episode of KSL Inside Sources include:
