Yahtzee, Bingo, Polly Pocket, and Tickle Me Elmo -- all toys and games that at one time were incredibly popular. Now, they have the chance to live on forever. Those games -- along with many others -- are on the short list for the National Toy Hall of Fame's Class of 2026.

Another U.S. Supreme Court justice is in Utah today -- the second one in just a few weeks. That feels pretty different! But what makes today's visit even more unique is why it's happening. Justice Samuel Alito is in town today to celebrate the recent appointment of one of the new justices on the Utah Supreme Court, Justice Jay Jorgensen.

It's not a new conversation, and it tends to come up anytime there's an election looming: age limits for elected officials. The recent return to Congress by Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell has refueled conversations about age limits. So how old is too old for public office? Does it even matter? Deseret News Opinion Editor Jay Evensen poses that question in a new piece; he joins us for a conversation.

We haven't talked much about the state's wildfires in several weeks, but that doesn't mean things are all quiet. In fact, some fires are still underway and some new ones sparked just this weekend. And between the ongoing fires and the more devastating fires from earlier this year, some of the recreation areas Utahns love to enjoy have seen damage. In this segment, Greg and Holly take a closer look at how the fires could affect Utah's recreation industry long into the future.

You've heard it said time and time again in pageants of all kinds: What matters to you most? Or, what do you wish for? And the answer is almost always "world peace." But is world peace actually attainable? Today is International Day of Peace, a day set aside to promote the idea of peace both on a large worldwide scale and in our own lives. Greg and Holly discuss personal peace before turning to Disagree Better CEO Marianne Viray to discuss peaceful political conversations.

Anytime there's a sports game, there's bound to be taunting -- it's just a thing that happens. But when those taunts and chants turn into personal attacks, that's not good. And that's what happened this weekend in a football game between BYU and Colorado State University. Parts of the crowd yelled expletives at the Cougars, a common derogatory phrase often directed at members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

DNA technology is amazing -- it's helping solve decades-old crimes, including here in Utah. Today, a Cedar City man was sentenced to 5 years to life for killing Theresa Morlock in 1993. James Wallace Peterson III was charged earlier this year for murder and aggravated sexual assault. Investigators were able to track him down after all this time... thanks to DNA. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas talks about the advancements in DNA technology over his 44 years as a lawyer.

When you feel a little sluggish during the workday, what do you usually do? If you're like most people, you probably head for an energy drink, a cup of coffee, or a good ol' Diet Coke. But should your kids do the same thing when they're feeling sluggish? Medical research would suggest otherwise. With kids back in school and several stories in the news looking at children and caffeine, Inside Sources gets some expert advice from Dr. Richard Ferguson, an emergency room doctor and President of the Black Physicians of Utah.

Is it a fight over the First Amendment or simply what a President is allowed to do? That's the heart of the issue right now involving the White House and three news outlets that are now barred from entering the White House and taking part in the President's press conferences. This morning, the outlets say they will sue the federal government over the bar. One of the big reasons people are concerned isn't that the President kicked them out, but that he did it because he didn't like their coverage, referring to them as "fake news." Greg and Holly discuss how the First Amendment may play into this whole situation.

Friday afternoon was quite eventful here at KSL as the station worked tirelessly to get out the latest information on a tornado warning affecting parts of northern Utah. Our very own KSL weather team sprang into action and cut into scheduled programming to provide updates as the storm progressed. Shortly thereafter, the National Weather Service confirmed that a tornado did touch down. Over the weekend, KSL Meteorologist Matt Johnson actually hiked up to see the damage himself. He joins Greg and Holly to explain what he saw and why weather folks were so excited about this storm.

Our lives have become so dependent on internet access that when we lose it, we often don't know what to do. That's been the ongoing situation in Eagle Mountain over the last several days, as much of the city has been without internet. The internet service provider "Direct Communications" says it appears a cyberattack was to blame. Beginning on Friday, the company says it started to experience unusually high internet traffic that's usually found in a specific kind of attack known as "distributed denial of service." But while the company works to get things back up and running, Eagle Mountain residents sit without answers or a timeline.

Greg and Holly finish off the week by chatting about the big movie of the week. They're joined by KSL Movie Show hosts Andy Farnsworth and Val Cameron, who give a little preview of this week's top movie: The Weight. They also discuss their answers to the big movie question of the week: What movie character death affected you the most?

Well, here's something for you… When the Godfather speaks, you listen. And when it's the Godfather of AI, you'd better pay attention! We found a rather interesting article that fits our ongoing AI conversations, and it involves the so-called Godfather of AI, Geoffrey Hinton. He says the earlier warnings from researchers last week -- that A-I could take over within the decade -- are too long. Instead, he says rogue AI agents could take over the entire internet within the next six to 12 months. Yikes!

A new report from the Utah Women & Leadership Project highlights a declining trend in suicide around the state -- very good news after years of increasing rates. Jared Hawkins, assistant professor at Utah State University, licensed marriage and family therapist, and co-author of the report, joins Inside Sources to talk about the differences in trends depending on demographics, as well as what we can all do to help drive our suicide numbers even lower.

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health or finds yourself in a crisis, there is free, confidential support available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All you have to do is call or text 988.

A few years ago... the state legislature passed a law banning certain foreign entities from owning land in Utah. That law meant that a Chinese-owned company was forced to sell the Utah Motorsports Campus in Tooele County. Today, the campus is unveiling its new name and plan for the future. Greg and Holly talk a bit about the law and why it was such a big deal when it passed.

As we finish off the week, Holly wanted to spend a few minutes talking about some cute animal stories in the news. They start by discussing the positive updates on a K-9 officer from Park City who was injured earlier this week. Bruno broke two legs and his jaw, but his surgery went well, and he's now been released from the pet hospital. Then, at the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium, there are new otters who need names, and they need your help to pick them. And finally, researchers have identified a new cat species in South America -- for the first time in 100 years.

A lawsuit from several authors against the state of Utah will be allowed to move forward after all. This week, a federal judge said the authors have standing to sue the state over the book ban law that recently went into effect. The state had tried to get the lawsuit dismissed, basically saying that there's no constitutional right to have certain books in public libraries. In this edition of Ask the Attorney, KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas explains the lawsuit and what the judge had to say about it.

The wild weather we've had this morning has let up, but anytime we get some good moisture, our minds go to the Great Salt Lake. As we've reported many times before, the lake faces a really challenging and potentially deadly future. Yesterday, journalists got to tour the lake with state leaders. KSL digital politics reporter Bridger Beal-Cvetko joined them, and he joins Inside Sources to chat more about what he saw and what state leaders are saying about their plans to save the lake.

Much of the Wasatch Front got pummeled with rain this morning, causing delays and crashes on the highways due to standing water. Outside of KSL Broadcast House, the dark grey clouds made the sky look pretty darn menacing. Some school districts saw bus delays due to the weather, and people living in Wasatch County saw massive hail last night too. KSL NewsRadio's Cormick Bone joins Greg and Holly from the KSL Traffic Center with the latest on emergency traffic. Inside Sources also gets an updated forecast for the rest of the day and the weekend.

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.
