Do we actually care about maternal health here in the United States? The Trump Administration says it's taking a new approach to help improve maternal healthcare. Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy says this approach is how you really Make America Healthy Again. Holly Richardson shares her mixed opinions on the move – what she likes and what she thinks is missing in this official advice. 

Anyone who's ever had to go to court or deal with the police should know and appreciate the idea of "attorney-client privilege." But now -- thanks to artificial intelligence -- there's concern of that privilege going away. Or in some cases, lawyers say it could result in jokes and offhand comments being included in official documents, creating even more problems later on. 

Improving online safety, discussing the future of democracy, the new entertainment and sports district coming to downtown Salt Lake City, and the future of media. All of this will be on the table today during a special event by The Atlantic and Deseret News this afternoon. Staff writer at The Atlantic, McKay Coppins joins Inside Sources to preview the event. He also talks about what it was like to write Mitt Romney's biography. 

Property taxes could increase more than five times for folks living in the newer city of Ogden Valley. City leaders are in the budgeting process right now, and say the city's facing a budget shortfall of more than $2 million. But even though the city thinks it may need to raise taxes by more than 500%, they can't do it without legislative approval. 

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

• Layton Cold Case Starts to Warm

From action movies like X-Men to dramas like Australia to musicals like Les Mis and The Greatest Showman -- is there anything Hugh Jackman can't do? KSL Movie Show hosts Andy Farnsworth and Val Cameron join Greg and Holly to discuss the greatest flicks featuring Australian hunk Hugh Jackman.

Mom's get a special treat this weekend -- Sunday is Mother's Day. Now we know this can be both a happy time for people, but also a sadder time. Some people have lost their moms, or maybe they don't have great relationships with their mothers. And you know what, that's okay too. Relationships are complicated; maybe even more so when it comes to our families. Greg and Holly share memories of their own moms and why they think Mother's Day is special. We also take calls and read texts from listeners with their own Mother's Day wishes.

One year ago, a ban on fluoride in Utah's drinking water went into effect. You'll remember it was a pretty controversial decision, one that was supposed to be in line with the "Make America Healthy Again" movement. So in the year since, how are our teeth doing? What's the data say? Pediatric dentist and former head of the Utah Dental Association Dr. James Bekker shares updates since the ban and why fluoride is so important for our overall dental health.

In the early hours of April 25, 1986, someone killed a clerk at a 7-Eleven store in Layton. For the last 4 decades, detectives and amateur sleuths have tried to piece the mystery together: who killed Carla Maxwell?  40 years later, police have named a new person of interest in the murder case... and it could potentially bring about a conclusion and some answers about what really happened. Executive producer and host of the KSL Podcast "Cold", Dave Cawley, joins the program and breaks down this case.

Another bump in the road for President Trump's economic plans -- a federal court has deemed the President's most recent, broad global 10% tariff is not legal. The news comes just as the world celebrates "Free Trade Day." Inside Sources discusses the role of free trade in our society, and what the recent ruling against the President's use of tariffs really means.

It's only the beginning of May, and already we're set to see our first 90-degree day next week. Plus, new forecasting for Lake Powell says the lake will have its worst snowmelt ever recorded. And now several state and federal agencies are asking Governor Cox to declare a state of emergency over the ongoing drought and the impending disastrous summer. Holly and Greg break it all down.

A well-known name in state politics is returning to Utah's Capitol Hill. And we're not talking about Rob Bishop, although he is coming back up -- he was just sworn in to finish a term in the Utah House. No, this segment, Holly Richardson explains the news dealing with former Governor Mike Leavitt and the State Capitol's newest building.

Since 1853, 152 brave men and women have been killed while trying to protect their communities. Tonight, Utahns will come together to remember and honor our law enforcement officers who've died in the line of duty. Most recent were the August 17, 2025, murders of Tremonton-Garland Police Department officers Sgt. Lee Sorensen and Officer Eric Estrada. President of the Utah Law Enforcement Memorial Pat Evans explains the significance of tonight's ceremony.

Today, KSL learned that the group behind the controversial data center in Box Elder County has pulled their water rights application. It doesn't mean that the project is actually canceled though. KSL NewsRadio's Heather Peterson joins Inside Sources in the studio to explain the latest developments and what the Utah Division of Water Rights is saying. Greg and Holly also discuss the Governor's ongoing trip back east, as he tries to bring more business and technology to the Beehive State.

Women and community members are coming together this week to build four homes in Tooele County. It's part of the annual "Women Build" event by the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity. And in fact... it's actually the 50th anniversary of Habitat for Humanity! Chelsi Chant, Director of Marketing and Development at Habitat for Humanity Greater Salt Lake Area joins Inside Sources to talk about the work going on here in Utah.

Evidence over the past several decades shows that when women do better, society does better. But are we helping women to be successful... or are we adding more pressure to certain groups of women? This segment, Holly and Greg talk about working moms -- the ones who get up early and take care of the kids, just to go to work and take care of the adult children. Is society actually helping them so they can be most successful? Dr. Susan Madsen, founder and director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project shares her insights.

It probably feels like the never-ending story: congressional map redistricting. Things may have settled down here in Utah... for now, at least. But across the country, the recent ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court and primary wins for Trump-backed Republican candidates have many states looking to redo their maps. With just a few months to go, we're back to redrawing maps and pushing pause on primary elections.
