After thirty years of gracing daytime television with her attitude and wit, Judge Judy is hanging up her signature black gown and banging her gavel one final time. That's right; Judge Judy says it's time to take a step back from being on-screen. After that chat, Greg and Holly finish the show with Holly's fun facts and Greg's closing argument.

Well, here's something you might find a little reminiscent of the Cold War: weapons in space. This week, we learned that the United States has deployed weapons into space and will use them to defend American forces here on Earth and in space. Now, one of the Trump administration's top military advisors says the military needs to adapt and prepare now for future conflicts in space.

If you missed President Dallin H. Oaks speaking about the Constitution, you sure missed out! The President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- who also served on the Utah Supreme Court -- spoke last night from the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. He spoke about the importance of the Constitution and why he believes it's a divinely inspired document. With today being Constitution Day, Inside Sources spends a special hour on this important document.

Besides Greg and Holly discussing President Oaks' comments, they're also joined by some guests to discuss the relevance of the Constitution in our day-to-day lives.

• Dr. Matthew Brogdon, Senior Director of the Center for Constitutional Studies at Utah Valley University, joins with his thoughts on why the Constitution is still applicable in 2026
• Benji McMurray, Senior Litigator at the Utah Federal Defender Office, discusses the importance of the "presumption" of innocence and the potential constitutionality or unconstitutionality of Flock cameras

Solving the issue of homelessness isn't a "one-size-fits-all" kind of thing -- it's going to take a lot of different approaches and it's going to take all of us working together. Today in Salt Lake City, a new complex is opening, offering permanent supportive housing for people who are homeless. And the cool thing about this facility is that it focuses on helping those with serious mental illnesses. With more on the purposes and mission of the KWB Apartments, Greg and Holly chat with Jared Ferguson, director of housing and mental health services at First Step House.

A lot of Utahns love to bash on Californians -- it's a whole thing. In fact, people living across the West generally tend to complain about Californians. But that doesn't stop people from the Golden State from moving to new states. And Utah's not immune; that's for sure. New data from the Utah State Tax Commission paints a clearer picture of just how many Californians have moved to Utah since 2020.

"Let us have this tool." That's what Utah law enforcement officers told state lawmakers about the automatic license plate reader cameras commonly known as Flock cameras. During this week's legislative interim session, lawmakers expressed skepticism about the cameras and the data they collect. But law enforcement officers who testified on Utah's Capitol Hill say the cameras are important for conducting investigations and solving crimes. Greg and Holly discuss both sides of the issue, then discuss harassment that some government officials in Utah are facing because of the cameras.

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

This morning, we watched a guy run around the block here at Triad Center. Apparently, he's running a marathon! We didn't fully understand the why behind his run, but it got us thinking about alternative modes of transportation. And you're in luck! If you're not into running and you're not into breaking the bank to fill your car with gas right now, you can ride UTA for free this weekend. Greg and Holly explain why.

A few years ago, Holly had a unique and somber opportunity to visit some of the concentration camps in Europe. She remembers the feeling of sadness and heaviness in what could be described today as a peaceful location. On the heels of a Holocaust survivor visiting Utah and talking about her experience at Auschwitz, Holly recounts her own experiences visiting the places and why she gets so upset when people tried to dismiss the Holocaust as a hoax.

On this segment of Inside Sources, Holly wants to have a conversation about jokes -- what's actually appropriate for a joke. We hear all the time that people are just too sensitive and get offended by everything nowadays, but is that actually the case? There's an interesting situation involving jokes and AI that's in the news today, and it really highlights the issues with certain kinds of "humor." The quarterback for the Texas Longhorns is apologizing to ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe after his comments earlier this week about an AI video. The hosts discuss the situation and share their own thoughts on the line between a joke and straight-up offense.

Remember how a bunch of AI CEOs called for Congress to implement safeguards and for the industry to slow down a bit last weekend? Well already, just a few days later, one CEO is changing his tune. The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, now says we should trust AI firms to do what's right. He says it's okay to be afraid, but we should let the professional do their jobs. His comments come amid yet another poll, however, showing more and more Americans are worried about AI destroying humanity. Sounds great, right?

Housing prices have gone up and up and up. Mortgage rates have also followed, and will probably continue to go up after today's Federal Reserve announcement. Amid all of that is a bit of doom and gloom for young people wondering how they'll ever be able to afford a home. So what can we -- the "older" adults -- do to help our children and grandchildren afford a home... so an entire generation doesn't lose the opportunity to build wealth through homeownership?  For more on that, Greg and Holly turn to Russell Faucette, owner of The Stern Team and co-founder of Omada Real Estate.

The Kennedy Center for the performing arts is now closed. The board of Trump appointees voted to close the prized facility immediately, and now the President says he won't renovate the building unless they add his name to the center. But here's the thing… Congress would have to approve that change -- several federal judges have confirmed that very fact. Congress also has to approve any and all additions to the center, which was created as a monument to President John F. Kennedy. So if Congress appropriated the money and has not approved a name change for the center, how will the renovations take place? Can the President legally stop this kind of thing?

For 239 years, our country has largely relied on one major document to guide our politics: the Constitution. Tomorrow, we celebrate this document -- which really helped shape democracy not only for us here in the U.S., but also for countries around the world. Tonight, President Dallin H. Oaks of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be the keynote speaker at a conference focused on the importance of the Constitution and its relationship with faith. If you didn't know, President Oaks served as a Utah Supreme Court justice before his church service began, so he is well versed in the Constitution. Ahead of his comments, Greg and Holly speak with Paul Edwards, Director of the Wheatley Institute at Brigham Young University about the Constitution. The hosts then share their own thoughts on the importance of this document and why they love, cherish, and hold it in such high esteem.

Another day... another vote. For the third time since the conflict began, the U.S. House has voted to end the ongoing war in Iran. The vote to pass a war powers resolution passed, but it's unlikely to do anything. Many members of Congress and the public at large refer to this conflict as a war, which would require congressional approval. But the Trump Administration continues to call it a military operation -- not a war -- and uses this to justify doing what they want without Congress. So does it just come down to semantics? Greg and Holly speak with Ryan Vogel, the Founding Director of the Center for National Security at Utah Valley University to get his perspective on the conflict. They also discuss the ongoing costs of the war on Americans' pocketbooks.

The midterms are less than two months away and now, we're getting a closer look at the security and effectiveness of the elections here in Utah. Yesterday, the legislature unveiled an audit looking at the way changes are implemented with elections across the state. Overall, the report says Utah's elections are in a good place and the Lieutenant Governor's Office handles things well. But it did find a few places for improvement, including better tracking and enforcement of changes with each of Utah's 29 county clerks. Greg and Holly discuss.

There appears to be an impending lawsuit on the horizon between the family of Charlie Kirk, the state of Utah, UVU, and various other named and unnamed people involved in the event where Kirk was shot and killed. On September 9th, his family filed a "notice for claim" against the state saying they should have done more to protect Charlie last September. This development isn't completely unexpected and will move forward separately from the criminal case against accused killer Tyler Robinson. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas breaks down the "notice for claim" and answers co-host Holly Richardon's questions.

• 100 Days to Christmas: Santa's mailbox is now open!

Time to start licking those envelopes and sticking the stamps -- Santa's mailbox is now open for the holidays. And the timing is great, especially since there are now 100 days until Christmas. Holly's so excited for these developments; Greg feels a bit "bah humbug" about the whole thing. Either way, better get your letters written and sent in soon so Santa has plenty of time to fulfill your Christmas wishes.

Another set of human remains have been discovered in the Grand Canyon. Officials are doing testing to confirm the identity, but a lot of signs indicate that it could be the last person missing after devastating floods in the area last month. While officials work to confirm the identity, people who survived the floods are dealing with a form of "survivor's guilt" -- that they made it out even though several others did not. The Deseret News' Leah Bowers spoke with several of these survivors and joins Greg and Holly to share their stories.

In an drought-stricken state like Utah, we all have to look for ways to conserve water. Many places around the state use reclaimed wastewater for irrigation and things like that. But what about drinking the reclaimed water? In La Verkin, you'll soon get the chance to taste wastewater that's been turned into clean drinking water.

Sometimes you read a headline and it makes you scratch your head. Here's one we saw this morning: New York high-school senior suspended for bringing coffee cup to class. The school district recently implemented some new rules to keep students from bringing drugs to school through drinks and food. The teen and her mother told local media that it was a deliberate act of civil disobedience meant to protest what the family claims was an illegally adopted school policy. Do you think the punishment fits the crime?
