New research from the University of Utah Health says we're not blinking enough, and it's largely thanks to our increased screen time. Greg doesn't quite buy it, but Holly totally does. They share their thoughts and talk about the 20-20-20 rule told to them by producer Andy: every 20 minutes, take 20 seconds to stare at something 20 feet away.

This land was made for you and me. As we move towards our nation's 250th birthday, we're taking time to look closely at our country's identity. In this segment, Greg and Holly talk about democracy, patriotism, and nationalism. A lot of the time these days, nationalism and patriotism are mixed. But that's not always a good thing -- it's led many people to harbor some deep-seated negative feelings towards our country. Inside Sources takes a more 'meta' approach to the whole thing.

As you look back on your childhood and the summers you experienced as a kid, do you remember the things you did? Do you remember the things you learned? A new opinion piece in the Deseret News explains how the summer activities we did as children can have a profound effect on adulthood and the way we act. Greg and Holly reminisce about their own summers as kids.

We've been talking about inflation going up and the higher cost of everything making it harder and harder on everyday Americans. And with the midterms well underway -- at least the primaries -- how might this increased inflation affect voters' decisions? Let's break down these new inflation numbers and their effects with our friend Robert Spendlove, senior economist at Zions Bank.

It's the season for home selling and home buying, but are people actually buying and selling? A new report from Realtor.com says that nearly 5% of home listings were taken off the market last month -- that's the highest share in 4 years. Between that and first-time homebuyers continuing to struggle, what kinds of things can we make out of this more wishy-washy housing market? For answers, Inside Sources is joined by Russell Faucette, co-founder of The Stern Team of Omada Real Estate.

AI and "big data" has sure taken a prominent place on the midterm stage both here in Utah and around the country. Now, we're learning more about the influence AI groups have on some Utah candidates, as AI-related PACs give money to a few people hoping to represent Utahns in the U.S. Congress. It's not chump change -- we're talking more than $1.3 million spent on Utah's primaries alone. Deseret News political reporter Brigham Tomco explains his latest reporting.

We've heard the same warning for decades now: Social Security is running out. Just yesterday, we learned Social Security could become insolvent by 2032… much faster than previously thought. Among the reasons for this drop are stiffening immigration policies and tax cuts. So if Social Security actually does run low on money -- or fully runs out -- what would that look like? Deseret News opinion editor Jay Evensen joins Inside Sources to share his thoughts.

Endorsements can hold a lot of weight. Or, they can also mean absolutely nothing. But either way, you don't say someone endorsed you unless they actually endorse you. In a hotly contested race in Utah's Senate District 18, one candidate included an endorsement from Senator John Curtis on some flyers, even though Senator Curtis hadn't endorsed him. And while State Senator Dan McCay's team has admitted the mistake, those flyers still showed up in voters' mailboxes, much to the chagrin of his opponent, current State Representative Doug Fiefia.
