Can your dog read your face? New research says yes. Whelp, so much for keeping secrets from my dogs! What's next? They'll learn to spell words, so I can't spell "T-R-E-A-T" or "W-A-L-K" anymore? Yeesh.

We're learning today that President Trump participated in a kind of magical act -- or spy stunt -- when returning from the NATO summit in Turkey. According to the Washington Post, the President boarded Air Force One (in full view of everyone else), then stealthily left the plane on a catering cart and boarded another plane to fly home. Greg and Holly discuss this kind of real-life "Mission: Impossible" scenario involving the President.

How might property taxes change due to data center expansions? New research from the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute finds Utah’s growing data center industry could have a surprising impact on property taxes. Researchers are calling it the "boomerang effect." KSL NewsRadio's Eric Cabrera joins the program to explain. Greg and Holly then discuss a proposal from a Utah state legislator that would limit the ability of Utah's Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) when it comes to new projects on areas not near an existing military site.

Across the Wasatch Front, hundreds of thousands of children and teens are heading back to school. Over the next few weeks, the roads will get busier in the mornings and afternoons thanks to kids walking, biking, or bussing to and from school. So what can your kids do to remain safe? And what can you -- the parent (and driver) -- do to promote safety? In this back-to-school segment, Greg and Holly speak with two experts: Benjamin Donner, executive director of the American Red Cross Central and Southern Utah Chapter and Jason Mettmann, Communications Manager for the Utah Highway Safety Office.

AI this and AI that -- we talk about artificial intelligence so much! But it's constantly growing and evolving, so it makes sense, right? Today, Greg and Holy discuss a new list from CNBC that lists the top ten jobs that are insulated from being taken over by AI. So if you're in the mood to change jobs and want something AI can't do (for now), you have to check out this conversation.

President Trump is attempting to limit the number of childhood vaccinations... even though the broader medical community disagrees. In this segment, Holly and Greg discuss the President's executive order and how medical and science professionals are responding. Dr. Richard Ferguson, an emergency room doctor and President of the Black Physicians of Utah joins the program to explain how parents should take this news and the conversations they should have with their physicians.

At the University of Utah, there's a push from some student groups to have the university be declared a "sanctuary campus." School leadership is expected to meet with those students today, saying they will hear their concerns and issues. But in the end… can a public university in the state of Utah even do what these students are asking? KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas shares some insights in this version of "Ask the Attorney."

Unless you're a rich man, you might want to pay attention to this next story: property taxes could be going up in your neighborhood! Truth in Taxation meetings are underway around the state and Salt Lake City will be holding one tonight. If you're new to Utah, you might not be super familiar with these kinds of meetings, what they are, how they work, and how you can be involved in the decisions around your hard-earned dollars going to taxes. Inside Sources breaks it all down with Billy Hesterman, President of the Utah Taxpayers Association.

Heartbreaking developments overnight, as residents of Henefer were forced to evacuate their homes due to the Rocky Canyon Fire. Just this morning, we learned the fire is just a bit larger than 13,000 square acres and is 23% contained. That's good news for folks living nearby, but it doesn't negate the stress and worry they've been living with since fleeing their homes. Holly has some personal experience with losing a home and talks about the raw emotion and depression that comes from being in that situation. The hosts also discuss the overall financial costs of a potentially record-breaking fire season here in Utah.

An emotional announcement from the General Relief Society President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Friday, as President Camille Johnson announced a $65-million donation from the Church towards caring for women and children. Inside Sources' Holly Richardson was able to attend the donation; she explains what happened and why it's so important.

Doug Lovell, the man convicted and sentenced to death twice for the 1985 killing of Joyce Yost, was back in court today. Both of his previous sentences were overturned, but prosecutors are trying again. This time, they want to use artificial intelligence to clone Yost's voice, which would be based on recordings of her talking to police. In this edition of "Ask the Attorney," Holly asks KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas to explain what's prevented the death sentences from sticking in the past, plus what might make this time around different.

Despite rulings from the Supreme Court blocking President Trump's earlier attempt, the President is looking for different ways to fire Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve Governor. SCOTUS Blog Managing Editor Kelsey Dallas joins Inside Sources to explain what the President's trying to do differently this time around. She also explains some recent polling that finds more and more Republicans are losing confidence in the country's highest court.

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that roughly 66% of Americans agree that there should be more oversight of social media companies. But how that oversight is handled is the biggest question. Should the government do it? Should a completely unrelated organization do it? Can social media companies be trusted to do it themselves? Greg and Holly both share their answers and then read comments from listeners to get their perspectives.

Teachers across the state are already hard at work preparing for a new school year. Joining us for a chat about how teachers are preparing and the costs teachers often cover themselves is Renee Pinkney, President of the Utah Educators Association. She explains that here in Utah, teachers spend nearly $1,000 of their own money just to set up their classrooms and help their students be successful. She also offers tips on how parents can support their children's teachers.

As hundreds of thousands of Utah kids prepare for a new school year, so too are thousands of teachers. This year, the state's welcoming in roughly 3,000 brand new teachers! For those brand-new teachers who are just starting off in their careers, it can be an intimidating and stressful journey. Deseret News reporter Jason Swensen caught up with several new middle school teachers to find out how they're preparing for a new school year; he joins the program to explain what he learned from them.

It's like a game of chicken between the U.S. and Iran -- Iranian officials say the Strait of Hormuz waterway will never fully reopen until the U.S. "corrects its behavior." Iran has issued a slew of demands, which U.S. officials have scoffed at. Iran says it's now working with Oman to reopen and monitor the strait. In the meantime, Israel has rejected a 15-point peace plan from President Trump aimed at promoting peace in Gaza. Professor Austin Knuppe, Director of the Heravi Peace Institute at Utah State University, joins Greg and Holly to talk about the broader effects that conflicts in the Middle East may have on upcoming midterm elections here in the states.

ICE agents will finally get body cameras; they're expected to be equipped by the end of the month. But the agency says they'll only release the footage collected on those body cameras when it's in the agency's "best interests." Is this a win for transparency, or simply a political show? At the same time, the courts dealing with immigration cases continue to be bogged down by thousands of emergency cases. Inside Sources goes in-depth on both ICE-related stories.

A bit of panic across the Wasatch Front yesterday, over an evacuation alert mistakenly sent out to a large audience over the Rocky Canyon Fire burning near Henefer. People around Northern Utah and even in Evanston, Wyoming received the alert on their phones last night, which said to evacuate now, but didn't say why or where to go. Turns out that was a bit of a mistake -- a technical glitch. Then in Southern Utah, a community is in mourning after two helicopter pilots crashed and died while fighting the WideMouth 2 fire. Greg and Holly have more updates on Utah's evolving fire situation.

Topics we will cover on this episode of KSL Inside Sources include:

• Back to School: Bell-to-bell cell phone ban, finding bargains for back-to-school shopping
• Report: Roughly half of Americans store stuff at their parents' house
• New jobs report signals a stalling market
• Utah's Energy Future: A conversation with Representative Celeste Maloy
• Meta must pay massive payout over New Mexico lawsuit – how will that affect Utah's lawsuit?

As you prepare to send your kids back to school this year, don't plan on the cell phone being a part of those plans. The state's bell-to-bell cell phone ban is officially now in effect. That means for many students in the state, it'll be the first year they won't  be allowed to have their phones during the school year. As we wrap up a week of Back-to-School topics, we also take a look at how you can find the bargains to help bring down the cost of buying school supplies for the new year.

More showdowns are forming between President Trump and the courts. Despite the Supreme Court shutting down the President's earlier plans to restrict birthright citizenship, the President is trying to find another way around the ruling. At the same time, another appeals court is putting the kibosh on Trump's plans to build a new massive ballroom at the White House. President Trump vs. The Courts -- Greg and Holly break down the new developments.

Here's an interesting question for you: are your adult children still storing their stuff in your house? Or are you still storing stuff in your parents' house? A new survey came out from Talker Research, showing that nearly half of all Americans – across several age groups – still use their parents' place as a personal storage unit. Greg and Holly have personal experience with this kind of thing; they discuss and share their thoughts.

Well this isn't good news -- the labor market may be stalling again. New jobs numbers out today show the country actually lost jobs in July. Across retail, finance, hospitality, local government, and education, the U.S. lost 23,000 jobs last month. Does this signal a slowing economy, meaning it's time for the Feds to cut interest rates? Senior Economist at Zions Bank Robert Spendlove shares his expertise.
