KSL's Inside Sources

The group opposed to a proposed 1.8 million square foot data center in Tooele County is celebrating a win today after all discussions related to the data center were tabled. This all took place in a Tooele County planning commission meeting last night and is the latest move against data centers here in the state. At the same time, data centers continue to play a major role in national elections. Greg and Holly go in-depth on both parts of the story.

For children who have allergies, going back to school can be even more stressful. And it's anxiety-inducing for parents too. It can be hard to control the environment, so it can sometimes be impossible to avoid situations that could prove life-threatening. For a discussion on how to navigate food allergies at school, Greg and Holly are joined by Amanda Bee, the former president of the Utah Food Allergy Network, and her daughter Vivian.

You know what things can really help a student excel at school? Sleep, support, and food. As we continue our back-to-school coverage this week, we want to shift our focus to food. In this segment, we discuss the importance of free and reduced lunches. What do parents need to know about the program? How does it work? Dr. Kelly Adams, health commissioner for Utah PTA, joins Greg and Holly to explain.

There's a new lawsuit against President Trump over a new feature of this Truth Social app that allows organizations to pay for early access to the President's posts, including official government announcements. The Inside Sources hosts are confused -- isn't this insider trading? Or at least making it even easier to do insider trading? In this edition of "Ask the Attorney," Greg tries to understand how Trump Media thinks they can make this kind of thing work… legally.

1984 called... and it wants its Big Brother cameras back. In all seriousness, Flock cameras have popped up around the state and the country, and it has a lot of people worried. It's brought up some really interesting discussions about privacy. There are already so many government cameras collecting information all around, but people have real issues with a private company putting up these data-collecting cameras.

Today, we're bidding adieu to a 49-year-old vacuum named Beth. Yes... we're serious. U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa has announced the death of his trusty tan Hoover vacuum cleaner with a burgundy cloth dust bag. It's a funny story, but it got us thinking about the names we tend to give random objects. So what inanimate objects have you given a name to? A car, a house, perhaps your toaster? Greg and Holly have a fun discussion reading listener text responses.

U.S. House Democrats have now opened an investigation into Energy Fuels, which owns the White Mesa Mill in southern Utah. It comes after their CEO bought 74,000 shares of the company just before President Trump issued his executive order slashing the size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monuments. Lawmakers now claim that the way the monument boundaries were redrawn gives a huge benefit to Energy Fuels, which operates the country's last conventional uranium processing site about a mile away from Bears Ears' previous boundary.

It's finally feeling a bit more like fall this morning, and we're so happy! There's just something so refreshing about the rain, especially given how hot and dry this summer has been. But it's important to remember that with rain falling across much of the state today, fire conditions are still dangerous and areas affected by recent wildfires could see even more flooding.

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

It's cloudy… so that might make it hard to enjoy the spectacular sight in the skies tonight. But don't worry, it'll be back next year too. We finish up today's show talking about the Perseid meteor shower -- it's been going on this whole week, but tonight is supposed to be peak viewing. Fingers crossed for some clear skies!
