KSL's Inside Sources

Utahns are still split on whether they support or don't support the ongoing war in Iran. New polling from the Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics finds that 49% of Utah voters disapprove of the recent military actions, while 44% approve. At the same time, a new round of talks between the US and Iran may take place this week in Qatar. It comes after a tense weekend of back-and-forth strikes between the two countries.

Speaker Mike Johnson says he'll send the bipartisan housing bill to the president's desk today. Remember, this is the same bill the President said he would not sign until the SAVE America Act passed Congress. So what's changed, and is there any chance the President will actually sign it? Or could it just go into effect without his signature? Inside Sources breaks this down with Deseret News Congressional Correspondent Cami Mondeaux.

Leaders of some of the most prominent AI companies in the United States are upset today over news that the Trump Administration wants to decide who will be allowed to use the latest AI technology coming from US-based tech companies. The government says Anthropic -- which makes Claude -- and OpenAI -- which makes ChatGPT -- will need approval for each new customer of their new, more powerful technology. How can this kind of thing be legal?

A former Utah death row inmate is headed back to court today as his attorneys and prosecutors prepare for a new murder trial. The new trial for Douglas Stewart Carter comes more than 40 years since the first one. Greg catches listeners up on how we got to this point and what exactly we're waiting on before a new trial can officially begin.

Wildfires turned deadly this weekend with three wildland firefighters losing their lives in a burnover incident along the Utah/Colorado border. Today, we learned the identities of the firefighters, including two women. The firefighters were identified as Emily Barker of Michigan, Nick Hutcherson of Arizona, and Sydney Watson of Alabama. Inside Sources takes just a moment to thank those firefighters for their work and sacrifice, and we send our thoughts and prayers to their families. So how do these kinds of burnover incidents happen, and how are firefighters trained to respond when the situation becomes extremely dire? Brad Washa, retired federal firefighter and current Utah State University assistant professor of Wildland Fire Science, joins the conversation to explain.

Oyez, oyez, oyez! Developing news today, as the United States Supreme Court issues four more decisions for the term. Several of them ended up being quite large. The court weighed in on mail-in voting and postmarks, the 4th Amendment as it pertains to things geo-fencing, and the President's ability and authority to dismiss members of independent federal agencies like the Federal Reserve. While several of those decisions were large, we're still waiting on four more decisions, which are now expected to drop tomorrow. In this special coverage on Inside Sources -- Supreme Court Decisions -- Greg Skordas and Holly Richardson discuss the rulings that dropped today, the cases the court has declined to hear, and the decisions we're still waiting to see.

The big movie this week focuses on superheroes – specifically Supergirl – as she joins forces with an unlikely companion on a journey of justice and vengeance through the stars.

As they say, "oh how the tables turn." The man behind the Stratos data center in Box Elder County, Kevin O'Leary, is walking back claims of Chinese involvement in the pushback. Remember, he made claims that the Chinese Government was funding a few Utah groups. We spoke earlier with one of the people he named, Gabi Finlayson of Elevate Strategies, who denied any involvement with the Chinese. Now that O'Leary is retracting his claims, Holly and Greg discuss why. 

4th of July celebrations will look a little different this year, thanks to a new statewide restriction on personal fireworks. Governor Cox announced the restrictions yesterday, saying it's important for Utahns to put the state of the state ahead of personal desires to light fireworks. Greg and Holly discuss the restrictions and share their thoughts. We hear from a fireworks stand owner who's opposed to the decision, and from Bountiful Mayor Kate Bradshaw, who called into the show earlier this week to discuss fireworks in her town.
