Over the last few years, state leaders have put a renewed emphasis on the importance of trade skills -- of making sure our young people are getting opportunities to learn in ways besides traditional higher education. It comes at a good time as nearly 1/4 of current tradespeople are expected to retire soon. In this segment, we want to talk about a report that just came out on the State of America's Skilled Trades Workforce. Maria Flynn, President and CEO of Jobs for the Future, joins Inside Sources to explain the need for more tradespeople.

If a judge doesn't rule in your favor, you generally appeal to the next higher court -- you don't usually try to get the judge removed from the bench. But that's exactly what Senator Mike Lee is proposing; he wants to impeach a federal judge who ruled against President Trump. The ruling in question paused the President's push to restrict mail-in voting. Greg and Holly have no shortage of thoughts on the move.

Major projects at Utah's national parks are now on hold after the federal government blocked $1.7 million in funding. The projects were designed to support research and protect resources across the state. This money wouldn't have only gone to Utah's "Mighty 5 Parks"; it would also have gone to recreation areas in the state managed by the federal government.

If you have kids, you probably know the struggle of finding good, affordable child care nowadays. And it feels like it's only getting harder. So what can be done to make things better for Utah's families? This weekend, KSL NewsRadio will air a special presentation called "Utah's Childcare Crisis: Navigating the lack of availability and affordability in a costly world." Ahead of that special, we want to talk more about the issues of childcare. For more on that, Greg and Holly are joined by the producer and host of this special, KSL NewsRadio's Heather Peterson.

Utah's population is changing and that's going to mean a bit of an enrollment crunch for Utah's colleges and universities in the coming years. New data from the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute re-emphasizes a warning from the state's Speaker of the House: we need to be looking at the future and prepare now. With more on this new data and how colleges can prepare, Greg and Holly are joined by Deseret News reporter Jason Swensen.

Election season is ramping up here in Utah and the first debates are finally underway. Last night, candidates for Utah's First Congressional District took to the debate stage. Remember, this is the district that now leans towards Democrats. The candidates are Republican Riley Owen and Democrat Ben McAdams. Greg and Holly share their thoughts on the matchup and we hear the KSL Truth Test analyzing the debate.

We started out the show with a discussion on new tech: artificial intelligence. In this segment, we shift the conversation to a newer kind of tech… that's also not really new anymore: podcasts. It's International Podcast Day! KSL has a large presence in the podcast world, from Dave Cawley's COLD to Maria Shilaos' KSL News Daily and everything in between. With more on how podcasts work and why they are so popular -- both among listeners and among podcast creators -- is Amy Donaldson, executive producer with KSL Podcasts.

It's being called a kind of "AI Constitution" -- leaders in the artificial intelligence industry have come together with the White House and agreed on a set of safeguards for AI development. Basically, the tech leaders have agreed to police themselves. The agreement comes amid several dire warnings from AI leaders about the future of the tech and how it could lead to the end of humanity. So, what do these safeguards mean for the average American? Or the average AI user around the world? Joining us for more is Tim Kapp, founder of the tech firm Cinco AI and an adjunct professor at BYU.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth doesn't want "fat" people in the military -- he's said so several times before. Today, he's expected to announce several changes to the military, including the elimination of 20% of admirals and generals. He's calling it the "State of the Force." Ahead of his remarks, Greg and Holly share their concerns about a push towards looks for military members and leaders instead of a push towards ability and skill.

Here's some good news for you: teen health is finally showing signs of recovery after taking quite a hit during the COVID pandemic. In particular, there has been some good movement in terms of mental health for Utah teens. The Deseret News reports that improvements have also been made with diet and physical education as well. But this segment, we really wanted to focus on the mental health aspect of this conversation. How have things improved? What's driving the improvement? And what can we -- the adults -- do to continue helping our teens with their mental health? For more on that, the hosts turn to Gregory Noel, LMFT; he's the co-founder and clinical director of In Solidarity Counseling.

Artificial intelligence heads to Washington, D.C. today. Not only is the federal government unveiling a new website that uses AI to answer common questions about the government, but several top AI leaders are set to meet with President Trump today too. The visit comes amid growing concerns over rogue AI agents, hacks into government databases around the world, and threats of the end of humanity. And remember, many of those same industry leaders are the ones calling for a slowdown in the development of AI. Sounds great, right?

A Utah state legislator has resigned from his elected position after being charged with several counts of fraud by the Utah Attorney General's Office. Trevor Lee represented a district in Davis County until yesterday, shortly after charges were brought against him. In his resignation letter, Lee said he was stepping away to focus on personal issues. Claims of fraud came to light during the primary election -- which Lee lost -- and it now appears that the Attorney General thinks there must be some kind of truth to those claims.

If you had to explain Utah to someone who’s never been here, what would you say? Mountains. Fry sauce. Jell-O -- all of those, of course. But also, how about a Diet Coke with approximately 14 things added to it? That's right… We're talking about Utah's dirty soda obsession. It's now getting the documentary treatment. It's called "Saints and Sodas," and it looks at how a simple fountain drink became part of Utah culture.

Thousands of domestic violence victims in Utah may not be getting the immediate help they're supposed to get from law enforcement around the state. That's according to data collected by the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition and reported on by the Utah News Dispatch. According to reporting from Annie Knox, officers are responding to calls about domestic violence and are asking the right questions, but aren't contacting the state hotline to arrange for shelter and additional support. Greg and Holly discuss the recent changes to Utah law and the resources available to help victims of domestic violence.

After more than 40 years in prison and jail -- including decades spent on death row -- Douglas Carter woke up in the real world today. Yesterday, the judge overseeing the case ruled that he could be released on bail while the Utah County Attorney's Office works on a new trial for Carter. We talked a bit about this story yesterday when the judge was hearing testimony and arguments about releasing Carter on bail. The judge ruled in favor of Carter in the evening and Carter left the Utah County Jail late last night. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas answers Holly's questions about what happens next.

There are more developments in the Lindsay Clancy case today. She was back in court this morning for a hearing on a potential new trial. But what's interesting now deals with the one holdout juror and claims now of "double jeopardy" protections. The other jurors now say the one holdout juror wasn't using legal parameters to make his decision. Now, the defense wants that juror investigated. Plus, the defense argues that there can't be another trial for Clancy because of "double jeopardy." It's a complicated situation, so Greg breaks it down for listeners.

When you live in the West, you get used to all kinds of natural disasters: fires, earthquakes, snowstorms, floods, windstorms -- we could go on and on. And that's not even including the manmade disasters. When you constantly have to live on the edge, how do you prepare -- both physically and mentally? September is Emergency Preparedness Month, so we wanted to have a conversation on how to prepare. Joining us with tips for Utah families is Joe Dougherty, Public Information Officer with the state Division of Emergency Management.

Should living presidents be allowed to put their names on federal buildings? Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana says absolutely not. He told CBS News' "Face the Nation" that living presidents should not be allowed to put their own names on federal monuments and buildings. At the same time he's making these statements, the Trump Administration is also proposing a massive baseball park in Grand Teton National Park. Holly and Greg share their own hot takes and read listener comments on these two controversial stories.  

The Protect College Sports Act has crossed the finish line in the Senate, passing with a vote of 77 to 22. Utah's two Senators voted in favor of the bipartisan legislation, which aims to really protect college athletes. It's not a complete win yet, though -- it looks like it'll have quite a challenge in the House. For additional insights, the hosts speak with Deseret News congressional correspondent Cami Mondeaux.

If Governor Spencer Cox could change one thing in America, he says he'd implement mandatory volunteer service for the country's young people. On X, he wrote that there needs to be some kind of national service for our youth. Holly and Greg both like the idea, but is it something the government should be mandating? Our listeners chime in with their thoughts.

Sweatah weathah -- this morning finally felt like true fall. And if you're like Holly and Greg, you probably enjoy seeing the leaves turn colors up on the mountainside. Well, if you want to really get the "fall" experience but without the crowds, you're in luck! Well, for now -- that might change once everyone sees the same list.  

A man who's spent more than 40 years behind bars for a murder could walk out of jail today. Douglas Carter was convicted of murdering Eva Olsen in the 1980s, and he's had his conviction overturned twice by the Utah Supreme Court. He's awaiting yet another trial but could be released on bond today. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas explains today's hearing and why it would be so unique for Carter to leave jail after spending decades on death row.

The midterms are barreling closer and closer, and it appears the tides have turned. Democrats are already favored to take the U.S. House, but what about the Senate? The founder of The Cook Political Report says there’s a “very realistic” chance that Dems could take over the Senate too. Plus, the White House is running a political ad ahead of the elections, which is a repurposed ad from President Trump's 2024 campaign. But this time, the ad says it's being paid for by the U.S. Government -- by taxpayer dollars. With 5 weeks and 1 day to go, Holly and Greg give their political takes on where the elections stand today.

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may remember a little catchphrase from old videos produced by the Church, which emphasized the importance of making time for families. In that same vein, the Inside Sources crew has put together a special hour-long presentation on strengthening family bonds; it'll air this coming Saturday. Ahead of that -- and on this special day -- Greg and Holly preview the special and talk about the changing demographics of families.

Every day, 17 veterans die by suicide. In fact, the V.A. says it's the second-highest cause of death for veterans under age 45. September is Suicide Prevention Month, and we talked quite a bit about that earlier this month. But as the month wraps up, we want to focus in on one group of people: our veterans. Why do veterans experience such high rates of suicide? What can be done to help them? For more on that, we turn to Lindsey Gray, Suicide Prevention Manager at the Wounded Warrior Project.

It's not often we talk about sports on this show -- it's not exactly our forte. But when sports mix with politics? Sign us up! The U.S. Senate is finishing up its last week of work in D.C. before the midterms, and they're expected to vote on a major sports bill. It's called the "Protect College Sports Act," and it's expected to address NIL -- name, image, and likeness -- among college athletes. KSL Sports' Mitch Harper joins to break down what it could do to the college sports world.

With the midterms just 5 weeks away, the economy is at the top of many voters' minds. With diesel prices at record highs and consumer sentiment falling even lower, the party in power -- the Republicans -- have a nearly impossible task before them if they want to keep control of Congress.  President Trump thinks he has a solution, at least for bringing the price of diesel down. But economists are sounding a warning, saying it doesn't work the way he thinks. For more on the state of the economy ahead of the elections, Greg and Holly speak with Dr. Michael Kofoed, associate professor of economics at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.

Sometimes you read a story that just makes you so mad, you want to cry or throw up. And for Holly, this is one of them. Prosecutors in New York will reopen an investigation into several Cornell University students over claims they drugged and sexually assaulted a female classmate several times and with several men. The developments come following a new lawsuit from the female, who left the university shortly after the alleged incident. In the lawsuit, they claim university officials did nothing with some of the men and only required a few of them to write essays as punishment. Holly and Greg discuss the case and share their own frustrations with how everything's been handled thus far.

When it comes to surveys about religion and faith, most look at how many people sit in the church pews each week. But that tends to exclude a lot of people of faith who might not belong to any organized religion. A new survey from Brigham Young University's Wheatley Institute aimed to bridge that gap -- to find out how faithful we actually are in the United States. Inside Sources gets a breakdown with one of the authors of the study, Shima Baradaran Baughman.
