KSL's Inside Sources

This morning, acting U.S. attorney general faced a slew of tough questions from Senators as he moves through the process to become the full attorney general. Among the questions this morning were things about FBI director Kash Patel, the President's pardons of those involved with the January 6th riots, and whether or not the President can serve a third term. With a lot of baggage already -- including the controversy around the Epstein Files -- could Blanche actually get confirmed?

Here comes the sun! Last night, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill to officially move the country into a permanent Daylight Saving Time. Now don't make any changes to your sleep schedule just yet -- the proposal still has to pass the Senate. And even though we talk about this every six months, it stills tops of the list of issues voters care about. Greg and Holly give their thoughts on whether to keep the change, move to Standard Time, or stay on Daylight Saving Time.

A well-known name on Utah's Capitol Hill is making some moves into the non-profit think-tank world. This morning, State Senator Todd Weiler was announced as the new President and CEO of the Sutherland Institute. The Sutherland Institute is well-known in the state for its research and polling on some of the biggest issues facing Utah. What does this move mean for Utahns and for Senator Weiler's constituents? He joins the program to explain.

The man charged in the death of three men with disabilities in February is in court this morning, as lawyers work to convince a judge to send the case to trial. Prosecutors say that Isaiah Vaughn Pulu left three of his "Safe and Sound Services" clients in a running car for at least 3.5 hours. The three men died due to carbon monoxide poisoning. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas explains why this wouldn't be a death penalty case.

We told you about it on Monday and almost immediately after, the flooding and mud flows began. North Creek near Beaver was caught on camera running high and fast, filled with mud and other debris left behind by the Cottonwood Fire. As this week goes on, the chances for more storms and monsoonal moisture increase too. So while we may look okay here on the Wasatch Front, other parts of the state could see some real danger. KSL Meteorologist Devan Mascuilli joins to discuss the forecast and flooding risks.

Leaders who oversaw the initial approval of the Stratos Data Center in Box Elder County told a room full of concerned residents that they still value public input, even though they didn't expect as much pushback as they've received thus far. Board member of the Military Installation Development Authority Mark Shepherd told KSL that despite what people have said, their process has been nothing but transparent and open. Greg and Holly don't quite see it the same way.

When you go to a sushi bar, one of the things you don't usually see on the menu is goldfish. I mean, we typically don't eat goldfish unless it's in cracker form. But a court in Argentina found that a pair of goldfish -- who were living in a tank at a sushi restaurant -- had rights. And we're not talking about just the right to not be eaten, but actual rights afforded to -- as the country calls it -- sentient beings.  Greg shares his legal insights into this bizarre story.

Utah often tops the list of best states -- for business, for families, or for life in general. But a new ranking from CNBC certainly caught Holly and Greg by surprise. Their analysis says that Utah is one of the 10 worst places to live in the country. But why? Greg and Holly go through the data and give their takes.

Did you know that Utahns have a reputation around the country of being ultra passive-aggressive? If you didn't, well maybe you should have.. (see what I did there?). A new opinion piece says that Utah's passive-aggressive nature isn't actually a good thing. In fact, it could actually have a detrimental effect on our society. Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project Dr. Susan Madsen explains what she's found in her research.
