GOOOOOOAL: The World Cup continues

In today's final segment, Greg and Holly share their thoughts on the games -- and the fans -- at this year's World Cup. Whether it's the USA or Cape Verde, several teams are doing incredibly well this year. And when it comes to the fans, Holly's fallen in love with both Norwegians and the Scots. Holly also shares her fun facts, and Greg shares his closing argument.  

Do younger Americans still have any hope in America? Data from Harvard University's Institute of Politics Youth Poll has a staggering statistic: only 13 percent of youth feel America is heading in the right direction. With that in mind, how can we help younger people have faith and hope in the country's future? For today's America 250 segment, Greg and Holly discuss.

As data centers continue to expand across the country, the pushback from locals near these planned facilities has been growing and growing.  While it appears that the majority of people opposed to these centers are local Americans, a common talking point from GOP lawmakers across the country is that China has been influencing much of this vitriol against the projects. In addition, many say the fears around data centers are unwarranted and that new data dispels many earlier concerns. Deseret News reporter Eva Terry joins the conversation with her findings.

Problems continue for the multi-million dollar renovated reflection pool in Washington, DC. The President blames supposed vandals, and some have even been arrested for alleged vandalism. But is that really to blame? Greg and Holly don't think so; they explain their issues with how the administration is framing this story.

Mediators involved in the US-Iran peace negotiations say both sides have agreed to a new 60-day roadmap toward a final deal. There was some concern earlier on how recent threats from President Trump would affect the discussion, which continues today in Switzerland. Professor Austin Knuppe, Director of the Heravi Peace Institute at Utah State University, shares his thoughts on the latest developments.

A headline in the Utah News Dispatch this morning reads, "When teens drive less, they don't register to vote." And now, civic groups are trying to adapt to changing trends as they work to "get out the vote." This is such an interesting correlation, but it's not the only reason. Even if the rates of teen driver's licenses weren't falling, data show that registration rates among the youngest voters continue to fall. What can be done to reverse this trend?

Utah's primary election day is tomorrow and the candidates are in the final throes of the race. While candidates are in their final push to win votes, there's also some negative campaigning going on as some candidates hope to make last-minute changes to the trajectory of the races. Some of that controversy going on right now is thanks largely in part to the incumbents running and the difference between official mailers and campaign mailers. Greg and Holly discuss what's going on as we quickly approach Election Day.

The defense for Tyler Robinson -- the man charged with shooting and killing political activist Charlie Kirk -- is now asking for the possibility of the death penalty to be taken off the table. They argue that comments made by the Utah County prosecutor's office about a bullet fragment removed from Kirk's body could unfairly sway potential jurors. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas shares his thoughts on the judge's decision to postpone a decision today.

It wasn't a great weekend for fires around the state -- several fires popped up and even forced evacuations. In the hills above Salt Lake City, residents are urged to be on alert and ready to go at a moment's notice should the Bonneville Fire shift directions. But in Juab County, the entire town of Eureka remains under a mandatory evacuation thanks to the 24,000+ acre Iron Fire. No buildings burned at this point, but Highway 6 remains closed in the area. Utah Firewatch -- Inside Sources gets updates on those two fires from wildfire PIOs Sierra Hellstrom and Toby Weed. KSL Meteorologist Matt Johnson joins to talk about the forecast and the current air quality around the Wasatch Front. Benjamin Donner, Executive Director of the American Red Cross Central and Southern Utah Chapter joins to talk about the things homeowners can do to best prepare for what's to be a rough fire season.

The big movie this week adds a new element to a nostalgic story. KSL Movie Show hosts Andy Farnsworth and Val Cameron join Greg and Holly to talk about the big movie of the week, Toy Story 5.

Imagine being forced to flee from your home -- forced to run to another country for shelter and safety. And all with the fear that you may never return. That's the very situation many refugees around the world find themselves in. Here in Utah, we house and support thousands of refugees from countries around the globe. These are our neighbors, our friends, our coworkers. And they need our support and help. Ahead of World Refugee Day tomorrow, Amy Dott Harmer with the Utah Refugee Connection joins Inside Sources for an important conversation on refugees.

Today is June 19th, Juneteenth Freedom Day. While not the day when slavery officially ended in the US, this is the day Americans come together to remember and celebrate the end of slavery. In this special hour of Inside Sources, we take a closer look at the holiday itself and at today's celebrations. We also take a deep dive into the impacts on Utah's economy because of the Black community and Black-owned businesses. For those conversations, Greg and Holly are joined by Betty Sawyer, NAACP Ogden branch president and Sidni L. Shorter, PsyD, President and CEO of the Utah Black Chamber. We also talk about the unique family history challenges that come for those of African descent; we're joined in the studio by Thom Reed of FamilySearch International for that part of the story.

Political ads dominate the airwaves and our social media pages during election season -- that's nothing new. What is new, however, is the growing prevalence of AI deepfake ads. New research from Utah Valley University finds that voters aren't very good at distinguishing fake ads from real ones. And that's causing some real issues as we move towards election day. In fact, deepfake videos received equal or even higher credibility scores than their real counterparts... meaning voters often think a deepfake AI video is legitimate, while the real one is not. Director of the Emerging Tech Policy Lab at UVU, Brandon Amacher, joins the show to explain the study.

As Utah's primary election day quickly approaches, President Donald Trump is once again taking a swing at Utah's choice to largely use vote-by-mail. The President made a slew of comments about our election processes in a post on Truth Social, claiming that voting by mail forces states to vote more liberally. But that idea doesn't seem to hold any water here in Utah, where we've been voting by mail for more than a decade and still have a Republican supermajority. Greg and Holly share their thoughts and the reaction from state leaders to the President's comments.
