KSL's Inside Sources

• The effect of deepfake political ads on our elections
• Utah celebrates Juneteenth
• The unique challenges Utah's refugee population faces and how we can help
• Previewing this week's move: Toy Story 5

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.
