Do you dress your pets up for Halloween? If so, what are their costumes? In New York City this weekend, dogs dressed up in their cutest, scariest, and most creative costumes for the 36th annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade. Greg and Holly discuss their own pets' costumes for the upcoming holiday.

Two big names in tech, two big promises to give back, and two very different ideas about how to do it. Artificial intelligence company Anthropic says it’s putting 5% of its stock into a new public benefit fund -- potentially worth tens of billions of dollars -- to support several causes, including the fallout from AI on the workforce. Elon Musk says he wants to give a share of SpaceX to every kid in America, a pledge that could top $10 billion. Are these moves about genuine public good, managing the industry’s image, or a little of both?

President Trump is holding back on Congressionally-approved sanctions on Russia. Friday, he signed an executive order exempting Russia from additional sanctions and tariffs, in what was a bill named after the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. That -- along with a U.S. deal allowing Russian diesel into the country -- was the focus of comments from Energy Secretary Chris Wright... who joined ABC's "This Week."

As AI expands and technology improves, more and more businesses are using it in their day-to-day operations. That includes grocery stores. We've talked a few times before about the move to dynamic or personalized prices, and now we're getting a better look at just how much shoppers hate the idea. The Inside Sources hosts share their own thoughts and read listener text messages.

Artificial intelligence is getting smarter by the day, but is it getting any better at knowing right from wrong? Elder Gerrit W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is proposing what he calls “Humanity’s First Exam” -- a way to test AI’s moral reasoning, not just its ability to solve problems. So how do we teach machines to distinguish right from wrong, and what can faith traditions contribute to that effort? Greg and Holly discuss the topic with Deseret News religion reporter Tad Walch.

What. A. Weekend! If you follow college sports, you're probably still reeling from a weekend of upsets. The AP Top 25 Poll has gone all kinds of topsy-turvy following several top teams losing to lower-ranked schools. That includes Notre Dame, who lost the number 2 spot to the BYU Cougars, who beat them in Provo 28-24. Now, the Cougars have jumped way up in the rankings, taking the number 2 spot. At the same time, the Utah Utes won their game, pushing their ranking to number 10. With all of this excitement around college football, Inside Sources checks back in with KSL Sports Anchor Sam Farnsworth to get his takes.

Fevers, sore throat, headaches, and coughing -- those are just a few of the symptoms commonly associated with the flu. And while we usually associate the flu with cold weather, this year's flu is already ramping up even before the weather really turns. With an earlier season underway, does it mean it'll be a more severe flu season? And why are things starting early anyway? For guidance, Greg and Holly turn to Dr. Richard Ferguson, emergency room doctor and President of Black Physicians of Utah.

Some of the hardest work in law enforcement isn't just solving a crime. It's having to look at the evidence — day after day, year after year — especially when that evidence involves the abuse of children. Two Utah dads wanted to find a way to make that job a little easier, without compromising the investigations that help protect those kids. It's an AI platform called Shield View. It can help investigators sort through massive amounts of digital evidence, identify what matters, and avoid repeatedly viewing material that's already been identified.

Despite threats of prosecution, violence, and harm, Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson continues her pushback on the Trump Administration and the Department of Justice's attempts to access secure Utah voter information. She went on CBS News' "60 Minutes" last night, just after a letter to her office containing a white powder was intercepted by a postal inspector. At the same time, new data from the State Elections Office finds that fewer Utahns are registering as Republicans this year; instead, many are registering as unaffiliated. And new polling finds that President Trump's approval rating is now the lowest it's ever been.

• Water permit application filed for Stratos data center project; new defamation lawsuit filed against Kevin O'Leary
• Worldwide faith leaders gather for interfaith summit in Utah
• Reports: White House was behind Starlink internet issues in Ukraine
• Several thousand Utahns still need to verify citizenship ahead of upcoming election
• Previewing this week's big movie: Street Fighter

Greg and Holly finish the week chatting about the big movie of the week with the hosts of the KSL Movie Show, Val Cameron and Andy Farnsworth. They discuss the movie Street Fighter and answer the movie question of the week: What's the most interesting documentary you've ever watched?

With the election quickly approaching -- and ballots already being mailed out -- the Lieutenant Governor's office is still waiting for several thousand Utahns to verify their citizenship to vote. More than 6,000 people were found on an audit by the State Elections Office to not have their citizenship confirmed. They cautioned that it doesn't mean there's a bunch of non-citizens on the voting rolls -- they just haven't been verified. Now, those thousands of people on the voter rolls could have trouble voting on Election Day unless they verify their citizenship status ASAP.

Several Republican lawmakers say they're concerned over Ukraine's recent internet issues resulting from Starlink slowdowns. Some senators say they have "grave concern" over the loss of intelligence data -- data that's vital to Ukraine as it continues its fight against Russia. Several news outlets report that the White House itself ordered the slowdown. Greg and Holly discuss the news and reflect on what Utah's Senator John Curtis told them earlier this week.

Faith leaders from around the world are here in Salt Lake City right now for the G20 Interfaith Summit. Among the messages shared was a plea to choose hope, family, and friends. Inside Sources Host Holly Richardson was able to attend the first day of the summit and says it left her feeling hopeful for a better world. She shares more of her takeaways from the event.

There are new developments in the Stratos Data Center project. After several months of waiting, we're finally getting a look at the new water permit application just filed by Kevin O'Leary's company. It outlines many of the details we've been waiting for -- like the number of data center buildings, the power source for the complex, and the amount of water the project's expected to use. At the same time, another Utahn is suing O'Leary for defamation; this is tied to his comments about Chinese operatives. Greg and Holly break down the developments.

As Utah grows, we need more energy -- that's just a fact. So a new geothermal power plant coming to southwestern Utah sounds like a pretty great thing, right? Well, maybe not. A new power plant near Milford won't send any of its power to Utah, at least not at the beginning. Instead, Google and California will take most of the power. For more on the project and why Utah won't get to reap any of the power it develops at this plant, the hosts turn to Deseret News reporter Leah Bowers.

The biggest game in college sports this weekend comes to Provo as Brigham Young University hosts Notre Dame at Lavell Edwards Stadium. Even if you're not into college football, you should be able to appreciate just how big of a game this'll be. Even the major sports networks are paying attention -- ESPN's Game Day will broadcast live from Lavell Edwards Stadium. For more on what to expect with the game, Inside Sources welcomes Sam Farnsworth, KSL Sports Anchor. Greg and Holly then turn to KSL reporter Madi Vollmer, who provides an update on the mood on the campus and interviews several BYU students to get their predictions.

In today's final segment, host Holly Richardson shares some deeply personal experiences she's had with pregnancy losses. Through her words, she details the stages of grief and loss she experienced after losing several pregnancies, all in the hope of helping others who've experienced the same things to not feel alone.

Deepfakes continue to pop up all over the internet, thanks to AI. Celebrity faces and voices are all over the Internet, promoting diet pills, supplements, and other materials. But here's the thing... most of them are fake. And a majority of the fake voices are coming from female celebrities. There's been a push to ban these kinds of deepfakes and Congress is also taking up the issue with the "Take it Down Act."

If you follow college sports, there's a good chance you're tuned into this weekend's match-up between two top-10 college football teams: the Brigham Young University Cougars and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. It'll be an exciting game and you'll be able to catch all the action here on KSL NewsRadio this Saturday. While they may have a lot of similarities on the gridiron, the two Christian universities also share a lot in common off the field too. Deseret News reporter Jason Swensen joins to explain.

Something really cool is coming to Salt Lake City today through Saturday: faith leaders from around the world are gathering for the G20 Interfaith Summit. We're talking about leaders from all kinds of religions: Catholic, Muslim, Hindu, and of course, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For a preview of the event and why it's so special that it's being held here in Utah, Greg and Holly consult KSL senior religion and arts reporter Carole Mikita.

Homeownership continues to be one of the biggest drivers of personal wealth and net worth. Yet for younger generations, it can often still feel unattainable. To help combat that, Governor Spencer Cox launched his starter home program, which aims to build 35-thousand starter homes by 2028. But new data says the program is way behind track -- only 25% of the houses have been built -- and we're now halfway to the deadline.

American wealth is growing, even if it might not feel like it all the time. But it's certainly not growing evenly across all ages. What's largely driving the differences in overall net wealth among different age groups? Homeownership. Inside Sources breaks down the new data with Dr. Michael Kofoed, associate professor of economics at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
