KSL's Inside Sources

• Claims that changes to mail-in voting could "derail" upcoming midterms
• Inside Washington: U.S. House is back in session -- what will they accomplish before the midterms?
• Military judge throws out testimony from alleged mastermind behind the 9/11 terror attacks
• Humanitarian organization working to help those affected by deadly flooding in Nepal and Tibet
• More resignations of top military officials
• Teaching kids Olympic and Paralympic values in the lead up to the 2034 winter games
• It. Is. Time. The "ber" months are finally upon us.

Did you feel a little chill in the air this morning? It's not just you -- the first day of September blessed us with some cooler temperatures last night. Many say the next four "ber" months are the best of the entire year: September, October, November, and December. Now it hasn't gotten too cold just yet, but there already seems to be a crispness in the air -- how exciting!

Kids around Utah will get the chance to learn more about the Olympics and the values behind them thanks to a new program as part of Utah 2034. This morning, a kind of opening ceremony for the program kicked off at Backman Elementary School in Salt Lake City. Several more opening ceremonies will take place at schools all over Utah over the next few weeks. For more on this program, Greg and Holly are joined by Amy Garff, Utah 2034 Education Committee Chair, and Brad Wilson, CEO of the 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Amid the war with Iran, the Secretary of the Army has announced his resignation. Last night, Dan Driscoll stepped down after less than 2 years in the position. It's the latest resignation amid a slew of resignations that have plagued Secretary Pete Hegseth's Department of Defense.

There are only 10 days to go until the 25th anniversary of the devastating, tragic terror attacks on 9/11. In the lead-up to this special anniversary, we're learning that the alleged mastermind behind the attacks won't have his confessions admitted in court.  A military judge has now thrown out the confessions because of how they were obtained. What kind of hurdle could this present to the U.S. government as they try to plead their case?

The House is back in Washington, but will they actually get anything done in the next few days? Eh... depends on who you ask. Campaign season is well underway for members of the House of Representatives and they'll be heading back to their districts ASAP to ride that campaigning trail to the midterms. But in the meantime, what are they going to try to tackle? The hosts chat with Deseret News congressional correspondent Cami Mondeaux for more insights.

There are new claims this morning that the U.S. Postal Service is pushing out untested technology -- and pushing it out too quickly -- in order to comply with the President's executive order on mail-in voting. Now, a whistleblower within the Postal Service says this haphazard process could "derail" the upcoming midterm elections.

We may finally get to see the end of a chapter in what might feel like a never-ending story. Today, the man accused of shooting and killing political influencer Charlier Kirk is back in court for what's supposed to be the final day of his preliminary hearing… which started more than a month ago. But first -- another hiccup: Tyler Robinson's defense team is once again asking the judge to bar cameras from the courtroom during the final hearing. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas shares his myriad of thoughts on the case, the constant motions on cameras, and the amount of time this whole thing has taken.

• MapQuest gets a new lease on life… thanks to Lake Ontario (eh, Lake America)

What's old is new again -- MapQuest is back, baby! The app surged to the number 4 position this morning on the Apple App Store. Why? Because they won't rename Lake Ontario to Lake America. People really seem to like their stance, and it shows -- app downloads for MapQuest have spiked over the last few days, with downloads seeing a 128% day-over-day increase since the President's announcement.

We all know housing costs have gone higher and higher -- that's no shocker. But just how high have they gone? Deseret News opinion editor Jay Evensen recently found his father's old checkbook from 1962. In it, he found clues about how our cost-of-living has changed, and how housing costs take up more and more of our paycheck. He joins Inside Sources to share more of his insights from his father's little money book.

Over the past several years, Governor Spencer Cox has faced a lot of flak and pushback for his "disagree better" movement. He faced even more trouble when he endorsed President Trump in 2024. Ahead of the launch of his new book detailing his term and the things he's really pushed for, he spoke with KSL about his moves to clean up partisan politics. KSL digital political reporter Bridger Beal-Cvetko joins with more.

Republicans appear to have a big problem heading into the midterms: white, married women. New polling shows that Democrats are hurtling towards the midterms with an 18-point advantage. For a little context, that's what happened in the 2018 midterms. Even Republican lawmakers across the country say there's a problem. Republican Representative from Florida Kat Cammack told Politico that women are concerned about affordability, and the GOP isn't delivering on the promise to bring prices down. Holly has some opinions about this polling; she gives her hot takes.

With gas prices being so high over the last several months, many have looked for a way to save a few bucks. But stealing gas is generally frowned upon. The Freedom Fuel network launched a few months ago with the support of President Trump. Now, it’s facing a lawsuit claiming it never paid for the fuel it sold. At the same time, President Trump is touting a deal that would allow the U.S. access to vast oil reserves in Venezuela. The President says it'll drop gas prices, but will it result in any relief… soon? GasBuddy's Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick De Haan shares his expertise.

For the first time in weeks, the U.S. and Iran are back to trading missile strikes. This has the future of control over the Strait of Hormuz continuing to be in question. While that happens, some experts are sounding an alarm that our military's combat readiness may be suffering from the ongoing fighting with Iran. Greg and Holly break it all down, including the latest on alleged leaks coming out of the Pentagon.

Attorney General Derek Brown is announcing the formation of a new center within his office that will track financial crimes and the people behind them. The goal, he says, is to bring together resources and expertise from across jurisdictions and financial institutions to better protect Utahns' money. In this segment, Inside Sources tunes into the news conference announcing the center; Greg and Holly then share some thoughts.

The cleanup continues this morning in central Utah following devastating storms over the weekend. Flooding caused significant damage in Emery County and strong winds created issues in Millard County. In fact, National Weather Service officials are on scene down there, trying to determine if a tornado blew through. At the same time, searches continue for more than a dozen people believed to have been caught in flooding in the Grand Canyon. What can people expect to see today across the region? KSL Meteorologist Matt Johnson joins Inside Sources to explain.

Greg and Holly finish off the week by chatting about the big movie of the week. They're joined by KSL Movie Show host Andy Farnsworth and guest host Larry Tassone, a film buyer at the Larry H. Miller Megaplexes. They also discuss their answers to the big movie question of the week: What is your favorite Looney Tunes cartoon?

Hundreds of thousands of kids are back in the classroom right now, and many of them are probably using things like bikes or scooters to get to school. Now you may have missed this, but a new helmet law went into effect in May, and this is the first school year with the changes. Law enforcement and state safety officials say now's the time to remind people of the changes. So what do you need to know to make sure your kids and grandkids get to and from school safely... and legally? The hosts chat with Jason Mettmann, Communications Manager for the Utah Highway Safety Office.

It's always nice to finish the week off with positive news. And when it comes to cancer, any developments in treatment deserve applause. This week, we learned that the FDA has approved a drug that has been shown to extend the median overall survival for people with advanced pancreatic cancer... by nearly double. We also learned that Utah's top cancer research center in the state -- the Huntsman Cancer Institute -- played a critical role in the development and testing of this drug. We bring in an expert for more information: Dr. Conan Kinsey, a gastrointestinal oncologist with Huntsman Cancer Institute who focuses on pancreatic cancer.

This morning, the jury deliberations continue in the triple murder case for Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts woman charged with killing her three children. Defense attorneys say she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, but did the jury buy it? In fact, the jury requested to examine two pieces of evidence again today -- what does Greg make of that? We also hear from Clancy's attorney, who says his client is anxious about the jury's looming decision.

Another day, another hiccup for President Trump's executive order on mail-in voting. Overnight, another federal judge blocked the order from going into effect, saying it's too close to the midterm election for states to get everything in order. So what the heck is actually happening? Greg and Holly break it down.
