A 144th Air National Guard F‑15 pilot lost their canopy mid‑flight after completing a flyover at the Clovis Rodeo. Following the incident, the jet circled to burn off fuel before safely landing at Fresno Yosemite International Airport with no injuries reported. Firefighters responded swiftly and the military is now investigating the mechanical failure.  Photos of the lots have been circulating on social media and have some residents worried the change will lead to increases in traffic in the surrounding neighborhoods as drivers look for free parking. To be clear: These are not city-run parking lots and don’t reflect any change at the municipal level.  The woman famously rescued as “Baby Jessica” from a Texas well in 1987 is now facing assault charges, according to police. Authorities say the case is unrelated to her childhood rescue, which captivated the nation, but the arrest has drawn renewed public attention decades later.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on

A Wall Street Journal opinion column argues that efforts to normalize and expand marijuana use gloss over its risks and downsides. The piece contends legalization has been oversold as harmless, warning that public health, safety, and social costs are being ignored as cannabis policy continues to loosen.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welch Public Schools in Oklahoma have eliminated Chromebooks to reduce classroom distractions and boost focus. Superintendent Jeremy Ramsey says face-to-face instruction—with books, pens, and paper—is leading to better student attention and interaction. This shift builds on a state-wide “Bell-to-Bell” law banning cell phones during class, which officials claim has already improved behavior and learning.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clint Olivier joins Philip Teresi to talks about the ballroom suit, Cole Allen and Left Wing conspiracy theories. The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit over the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, targeting the Trump International Hotel ballroom where the incident occurred. Federal officials allege security failures contributed to the attack, as investigators continue examining how the suspect gained access and how protections broke down.  A Wall Street Journal opinion column argues that Washington has quietly embraced a form of government power that punishes without due process, comparing it to a “friendly federal assassin.” The piece criticizes the growing use of executive actions, sanctions, and administrative penalties that bypass courts, warning they pose long‑term risks to civil liberties and democratic accountability.  Fox News hosts and contributors pushed back on left‑wing claims that the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting was a “false fl

Clint Olivier joins Philip Teresi after writing an opinion piece on the San Joaquin Valley Sun that warns a well‑intended tech policy could drain capital from the Central Valley’s local economy. The piece argues the proposed GENIUS Act, while promoting innovation in digital finance, may pull deposits away from community banks, weakening lending for farmers, small businesses, and entrepreneurs who rely on local, relationship‑based banking. Olivier urges lawmakers to balance innovation with strong safeguards and protections, so Silicon Valley‑style finance doesn’t come at the expense of the Valley’s economic lifeblood.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podc

An old ABC‑LA interview from 2017 has resurfaced after investigators identified a Torrance, California man as the suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting. The video shows Cole Allen, then a CalTech student, promoting a wheelchair‑safety invention—years before authorities say he charged past security and opened fire, prompting a rapid Secret Service response that protected top officials.  KCRA fact‑checks viral claims and misinformation that spread after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, clarifying what actually happened and what did not. Authorities say the suspect, Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, fired shots outside the ballroom, not inside it, and was quickly subdued by the Secret Service—with one agent injured but protected by a bulletproof vest. The report debunks false online rumors, confirms the key facts of the attack, and underscores how quickly misinformation filled gaps in the chaotic moments after the security breach.  Please Like,

The Justice Department has begun the formal process to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, a major shift in federal drug policy. The change would not legalize cannabis nationwide, but it could ease restrictions on medical marijuana, expand research, and reduce tax burdens for legal cannabis businesses.  A Wall Street Journal report says rising drink prices are pushing adults to “pre‑game” again, drinking at home before going out — a habit once associated with college life. With cocktails now topping $18 in many cities, consumers are cutting bar tabs by arriving buzzed, reshaping nightlife habits and how bars think about pricing and profits.  The Onion is moving forward with its satirical takeover of Infowars, outlining plans to transform the conspiracy‑driven platform into a parody of itself. The move follows Alex Jones’ legal and financial collapse, turning Infowars into a case study of how satire, accountability, and media extremism collide.  Please

New video shows Fresno Unified workers tackling and holding down a suspect accused of stealing a car with children still inside. Police say the employees acted quickly, stopping the suspect before anyone was hurt and keeping the children safe until officers arrived.  An ethics complaint claims a pro‑Matt Mahan PAC and his campaign illegally coordinated, citing calls where billionaire donors Michael Moritz and Rick Caruso discussed joint strategy. The filing alleges such coordination violates California’s campaign finance rules and raises questions about outside influence in a local race.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJ

Guest Host: John Gerardi    The U.S. is expected to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, a move that could significantly benefit legal cannabis companies. Reclassification would allow marijuana businesses to deduct normal operating expenses, ending a major tax burden under IRS Section 280E, and could make it easier to access banking, loans, and institutional investment. Industry analysts say the shift could also spur mergers, attract new capital, and accelerate medical research, reshaping the cannabis market even though marijuana would remain illegal at the federal level. A Virginia circuit court judge issued an order blocking the results of a congressional redistricting referendum that could net Democrats four extra seats in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026.

Guest Host: John Gerardi    U.S. libraries are facing record levels of book bans and challenges, with hundreds of titles being restricted or removed amid political and cultural battles, The Guardian reports. Library groups say most challenges are now driven by organized political pressure groups and government officials, not individual parents, and disproportionately target books about LGBTQ+ identities, race, and social justice, raising concerns about censorship and free expression.  A New York Post report alleges the Southern Poverty Law Center secretly paid a former Ku Klux Klan “Imperial Wizard” and other extremist figures as informants using donor funds, without disclosure. The claim comes amid a broader Justice Department indictment accusing the SPLC of fraud for allegedly funneling millions of dollars to members of white supremacist groups, while the organization denies wrongdoing and says the payments were part of efforts to gather intelligence on extremist activity.

Guest Host: John Gerardi    The Fresno Arts Council outlined major governance and transparency reforms to retain its role as Fresno County’s official arts funding representative after a $1.8 million embezzlement scandal. Changes include hiring an independent accounting firm to oversee and process all financial transactions, removing prior paid leadership, and requiring daily board‑level monitoring of bank activity, with multiple approvals for every payment. After reviewing the reforms, the Fresno County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved keeping the council as the county’s “local partner” with the California Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9
