KSL's Inside Sources

Sources tell the Deseret News that President Trump will sign an executive order today to shrink the Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears national monuments. If it sounds familiar, you're spot on. President Trump did a similar thing in his first term. And then President Biden reversed it. And now it sounds like the reversal is going to be reversed. Ahead of the announcement this afternoon, Greg and Holly share the history of the monuments and give their thoughts on the Antiquities Act.

Did you make it through the record-breaking heat over the weekend? Here in Salt Lake City, we shattered the all-time high of 107… topping out at 109° Fahrenheit. We're set to see a bit of a cool-down over the next few days, with more and more monsoonal moisture in the forecast. But the dry heat this weekend contributed to more fire growth in the state and the incoming rain could cause some serious flooding. July heat wave -- KSL Meteorologist Matt Johnson joins Inside Sources with special coverage of the weather.

The big movie this week revisits a well-loved Disney animated movie, Moana. But this time, it won't be a cartoon; it'll be live-action. KSL Movie Show hosts Andy Farnsworth and Val Cameron join Greg and Holly to preview the movie and discuss what makes it different from the original Moana.

Back-to-school shopping deals are already popping up at stores around the country. We still have more than a month before schools really start, but it's already time to get prepared. Back-to-school shopping can be pretty intense, especially if you're not used to it. And for refugees here in Utah (who aren't as familiar with the process or just simply don't have the extra funds to buy all this stuff) it can be a real barrier for a successful school year. Amy Harmer with the Utah Refugee Connection joins Inside Sources to talk about a program that will help refugee families get ready for the new school year.

The changing fuel and oil prices have been a nightmare over the last few months. Just when you think we're getting some relief, the prices shoot right back up. The War in Iran has made things all sorts of topsy-turvy, but could a plan called the "Freedom Fuel Network" help drive prices down? The White House sure thinks so, but Greg and Holly have a lot of outstanding questions before they'll get on board.

Utah's economy remains hot hot hot – just like our weather. But at the same time, it can easily feel like our lives are getting more and more expensive... and our wallets are getting lighter and lighter. Derek Miller, President and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber joins to talk about the connections between the economy and our wallets, and how a program called Utah Rising is working to help Utah's businesses strengthen and grow.

President Trump is following through on his earlier promises not to sign a massive, widely supported bipartisan bill to give more Americans opportunities to buy a home. This bill had a lot of support and it looks like it could really make a difference for a lot of Americans who don't currently have the chance to get into homeownership. But alas, the President won't sign it because the voting bill – SAVE America Act – hasn't passed Congress.

Whelp, we called it... The preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson (the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk) is not going to finish today. The judge overseeing the case has scheduled closing oral arguments for the preliminary hearing for September 1st. That means we won't know if this will go to trial until September. Greg's once again not happy and Holly is gobsmacked.

Dangerously high temperatures are knocking on our door. Triple-digit heat is expected through the weekend and into next week. And on Sunday, we could break the all-time high temperature record for Salt Lake City. To get the latest on the forecast – and to find out if there's any relief in store – Inside Sources chats with KSL Meteorologist Matt Johnson.

Hot weather can also negatively affect our mental health. And people on some kinds of psychotropic medications can find themselves even more susceptible to higher heat. Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Gregory Noel, co-founder and clinical director of In Soliday Counseling joins the conversation to share his recommendations to keep mental health stable when the temps soar.
