It's no secret that we're in a drought, and it's only going to get worse as the summer drags on. In fact, state leaders had asked that Utahns hold off on outdoor watering until at least today, May 15th, in an effort to conserve water. This segment, Holly and Greg speak with Ally O'Rullian, Public Information Officer for Utah State Parks about the low water levels at our parks and what that could mean for summer tourism.

A common condition that impacts millions of women worldwide is getting a new name. This week, the global medical community decided to change the name for a reproductive hormone imbalance. It was called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and now it's being called polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS). Inside Sources discusses the importance of this change.

This week, another Utah school cancelled classes due to a tip submitted on the SafeUT app. Alta High School cancelled classes yesterday, saying they were erring on the side of safety after receiving the threat. There have been quite a few threats of violence against Utah schools, many of which end up appearing on the Safe UT app. State Representative Steve Eliason, an expert on the SafeUT app, joins Inside Sources to share his thoughts on the rise of these threats.

We're still waiting for some major Supreme Court rulings, including decisions on "Temporary Protected Status", mail-in ballots, and bans on transgender high school athletes playing in sports. While we wait for those big rulings, the high court is still working, issuing some other interesting rulings this week. Greg and Holly break down rulings on a common abortion pill, hiring claims and federal law, and arbitration awards.

President Trump is back on Air Force One, heading back to the U.S. after several days of meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping. At this point, there's not a ton of information on what will really come from those talks. The President says there will be new trade deals, but many questions still remain regarding the Iran War and the future of Taiwan sovereignty.

Here's a fun little juxtaposition for you: Utah teens have taken the top spot for budgeting education and financial literacy. At the same time, more than half of Americans say they don't have the financial knowledge they need, so they turn to AI for help. Today's Inside Sources begins with a closer look at financial literacy, something super important given the higher prices of … well, just about everything. Certified financial planner at DMBA Shane Stewart joins the conversation.

What do vultures, ambassadors, giveaways, and outdoor safety have in common? They're all part of a new initiative from the state, which emphasizes safety when outdoors. Governor Spencer Cox recently declared this coming Saturday, May 16th, as Adventure Safe Day. Managing Director of the Utah Office of Tourism and Film, Natalie Randall, joins Inside Sources to talk about this new initiative.

Now, his team is filing manslaughter charges against a Taylorsville Police Officer involved in a deadly shooting in October 2024. Greg and Holly discuss the rarity of this kind of thing.
