KSL's Inside Sources

When you were a kid, what did you want to be? A lawyer, a teacher, maybe a radio host? We bet not many of you thought about becoming an ice cream taste tester.

And in case you need a little more incentive, here's the cherry on top: $30,000 for three months of work. Sign us up!

Should the city of Provo allow a proposed amphitheater in Provo Canyon to move ahead? City leaders are asking residents to give it a chance... even with continued public pushback. Because of all this concern, the people behind the Vesper Amphitheater have hit pause on the project for now. But city leaders are still defending the project and say the process should be allowed to move forward. For more on this, we bring in Provo Mayor Marsha Judkins.

Where in the world…? If there's one thing President Trump likes to do, it's change maps. From changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, or from changing Lake Ontario to Lake America, there's nothing he can't change with a quick pen scribble. But can he change the name of a state? Over the weekend, he proposed renaming New Mexico to New America. Unfortunately for him… that one's not so easy. At the same time, the United States voted against the adoption of a new, more accurate world map from the U.N. Why? Greg and Holly certainly have some thoughts.

When you think about raising taxes, which political party do you think of? For decades, Democrats have pushed to raise taxes. And Republicans refuse (and in many cases, make sure to point out that their opponents want higher taxes). But no matter what, whoever says there should be cuts to entitlement programs -- like Social Security -- has faced major attacks and pushback. Well now -- with Social Security funding getting critically low -- some Republicans seem open to the idea of raising taxes.

When you or a loved one experiences a mental health crisis, do you know what to do? Or where to go to get resources and support? It's September 8th, also known as 9-8-8 Day. It's a day set aside to recognize the importance of the free, confidential crisis support line at 9-8-8. In this deep-dive, Inside Sources is joined by experts from the Huntsman Mental Health Institute to talk about mental health. Rebecca Hyde, Community Crisis and Intervention Support Services Director, explains how the 9-8-8 line works and what other resources may be available to help those in need. Then, the conversation goes more narrow: men's mental health. What specific challenges do men face with their mental health, and what kinds of specific resources are available to help? Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Huntsman Mental Health Institute Dale Werner shares his expert takes.

Today, knowing about 988 is one way you can make a difference. Supporting the future of mental health is another. Donate to Huntsman Mental Health Foundation today to help reach people earlier, improve access to care and accelerate discoveries that could change how mental illness is understood and treated.

President Trump's second term has been filled with quite a bit of confrontation with our northern neighbors. And today, Canada's 50% countertariffs against the United States go into effect. Hundreds of goods will see the new tariffs, which came in retaliation to President Trump's tariffs on Canadian imports. Amid the economic drama, the President is also now slamming a Canadian-based aviation company… even though they make planes here in America. For more on this and its potential role in the midterms, Greg and Holly turn to Dr. Michael Kofoed, associate professor of economics at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.

Of all the days to miss, KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas missed the day a judge declared a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case. In this segment of Inside Sources, Greg spends a few moments sharing his overall thoughts on the case and the way things ended up. He also shares some insights into a request from Clancy's attorney, in which he asked President Trump for a pardon.

Fall is in the air! With Labor Day now in the rearview mirror, it's unofficially fall. But the changing of the seasons doesn't mean the risk of wildfires is down -- a few new ones sparked over the long holiday weekend, in fact. Greg and Holly discuss the wildfire danger, plus the fall foliage forecast and fall football too.

American students are falling behind several Asian countries when it comes to reading literacy and comprehension. According to new data that just came out overnight, reading scores for American 15-year-olds have hit their lowest levels in 25 years. And before anyone starts saying it's because of the COVID pandemic, the research shows that this decrease started well before schools went into lockdown. The pandemic simply exacerbated a problem that was already there. What is driving this massive decline? There isn't one singular reason, nor is there one singular solution. Greg and Holly share their own thoughts on the issue and are joined by Ethan Bauer, Deseret Magazine staff writer, to talk more about the role screens and technology have played in the problem.
