KSL's Inside Sources

• Referendum on Box Elder County data facility won't be on November ballot
• Planning for your child's educational future
• Trump Accounts launch; "Anti-weaponization" fund hits a snag
• Mosquitos learning to like DEET
• Gala to promote hope and prevent suicide
• Previewing this week's movie: Pressure

War movies can be a hard genre to get right. You want to make sure the story's accurate, but also not too depressing and gory... like war typically is. This week, the KSL Movie Show is reviewing a new WWII movie, "Pressure." KSL Movie Show hosts Andy Farnsworth and Val Cameron join Inside Sources to preview the film and share their own thoughts on the best WWII movie.

This weekend, Utahns from all walks of life will come together in an effort to support those who struggle with their own mental health.  It's called the 1 Million Hugs for Hope Gala, and it's being put on by the Promise2Live Group, a group dedicated to promoting hope and preventing suicide. The founder of Promise2Live, Brandy Vega, joins the show to explain.

What doesn't kill mosquitoes... might very well be making them stronger. That means you might have to resort to slapping yourself after all. A new study claims that mosquitoes can learn to like DEET, a common ingredient in bug repellent. The reason? We're not using it enough, and we're not using enough of it. Inside Sources hears from listeners about the ways they keep mosquitoes at bay.

This morning, a federal judge told the Trump administration: "nope... you can't give out money from this so-called anti-weaponization fund." Now the order is only temporary, but it also bars the administration from even moving forward with creating this fund. Greg and Holly discuss the news and also share thoughts on the Trump Accounts, which just launched and already have 4 million children signed up.

Parents: are you planning and saving for your children's educational futures? If not, you're not alone. In fact, new research shows that 59% of adults in the U.S. say they're not saving enough for educational expenses. And many say they have no idea where to even start. In honor of today being 5/29, Inside Sources takes some time to discuss the 529 Plans with Edward Jones financial advisor Andy Esser, who says these plans are a great way to save for your kids' future education.

The application to get a referendum on the ballot in Box Elder County -- over the proposed data center -- has been rejected and will not be on the ballot in November. But the process to stop the data center isn't over yet; the group leading the charge against the proposal says it will take the issue to court. The county attorney denied the referendum application, saying the county commission's decision was administrative, not legislative. But the group disagrees with that analysis, saying a 2018 Utah Supreme Court decision proves it is legislative, so the people should get to have a say in it. During this segment, Governor Spencer Cox also signed an executive order that raises the bar on future data center developments; Greg and Holly discuss this breaking development.

The man accused of killing three women in Wayne County, stealing a car from two of them, and then fleeing to Colorado made his first court appearance here in Utah. Ivan Miller had been fighting extradition from Colorado to Utah regarding the murders from early March. There are a lot of complexities in this case, so who better to help us understand better than KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas?

Do you remember when the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium first bought that giant claw structure... and a lot of people said it was an eyesore? You might be more used to it now, but what about something very similar... on the South Lawn of the White House? It's coming as part of a big UFC fight that President Trump is putting on for the country's 250th birthday.

As a parent, would you rather have more time with your kids or more money to spend on your kids? Is it possible to have both? A new piece in the Deseret News emphasizes the conundrum young parents often face: spend more time with their children or each more money to put food on the table? Greg and Holly share their own thoughts, including any regrets about how they spent time with their own kids.

A new audit of more than 2 million registered voters in Utah found 27 confirmed and 25 likely non-citizens on the voter rolls. Now obviously, the closer we can get that number to 0, the better. But does this small amount -- about 50 out of 2 million -- mean there's widespread fraud underway? Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson shares more about the audit and also touches on continued efforts to eliminate mail-in voting.

Roughly 50,000 Utah high school seniors are taking their next steps into adulthood: graduation. During this special season, Inside Sources spends an hour celebrating Utah's graduates. State Superintendent Molly Hart joins to share statistics on this year's graduating class and offers her advice for the new grads.

 We then hear from several graduates themselves -- Alexander Watt of Highland High School, Jimmy Van Netter of Northridge High School and the Davis Catalyst Center, and Jade De La Fuente of East High School. They each share their favorite memories and experiences in high school, as well as their future plans and advice for new high school students.

Among those celebrating graduation are more nontraditional students, such as those in the Juvenile Justice program; Director of the Division April Graham joins Greg and Holly to explain how the program helps struggling teens work toward better futures.

The special hour wraps up with a look at how parents can help their kids enjoy safe and fun summers -- without alcohol. Susannah Burt, Assistant Director of Weber Human Services, joins to share more about the "No Bummer Summer" program.

Fostering self-reliance while also caring for those in need here and around the world -- those are both missions of a new humanitarian center just opened by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Church News reporter Aimee Cobabe joins in-studio to discuss how this new center brings together people of all faiths, working towards the commandment to "love thy neighbour as thyself."

This morning, we learned that the U.S. Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the woman who accused President Trump of sexual assault and won in civil court. This was a whole jury trial and everything, involving things that happened before Trump became president. Greg and Holly share their thoughts on the supposed "weaponization" of the DOJ in cases like this.

A Democratic primary debate here in Utah is gathering more attention than the typical Democratic events. Four candidates are running to represent the new 1st Congressional District in Utah, which covers much of Salt Lake County and leans more Democratic. Those changes have generated a lot of interest nationally and locally. Inside Sources discusses the latest developments in this race and how each candidate performed in last night's primary debate.

How far would YOU go to conserve water? With the ongoing and worsening drought -- and low lake levels at the Great Salt Lake -- what would you be willing to give up or do to conserve water? That's the question at the heart of a poll by the Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics, which asks Utahns how concerned they are by the state of the Great Salt Lake, and what they'd be willing to do to fix it. Greg and Holly discuss the findings of a new poll and what they themselves would do to save the lake.
