Utah's Attorney General announces legal action against prediction market platform Kalshi
Today, Utah's Attorney General announced a new lawsuit against Kalshi, a popular platform in the prediction market industry. The State of Utah alleges that Kalshi's operations are gambling and are thus illegal here in the state. Their complaint also claims that Kalshi's actions are harmful to Utahns. We hear from Attorney General Derek Brown on the lawsuit. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas then gives his insights into the case and the overall law on gambling in the state of Utah.

Anthropic, SpaceX aim to give back to people affected by growing tech and AI
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?

Pres. Trump exempts Russia from sanctions and tariffs, even though Congress approved them
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."

AI's role in consumer pricing continues to expand, but consumers largely hate the idea
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.

AI and faith among the topics discussed at G20 Interfaith Summit
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.

BYU jumps up in AP Top 25 Poll; Utah also sees increased ranking
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.

Utah doctor shares guidance amid early flu season
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.

Utah dads create way to protect kids and help investigators looking into child sex crimes
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.

Your Voice, Your Vote: LG Henderson pushes back on DOJ, a rise in unaffiliated voters, Trump's approval rating continues to fall
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.

Several thousand Utahns still need to verify citizenship ahead of upcoming election
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.

Reports: White House was behind Starlink internet issues in Ukraine
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.

Water permit application filed for Stratos data center project; new defamation lawsuit filed against Kevin O'Leary
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.

New geothermal plant in So. Utah won't provide energy to Utah… at least at first
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.
