A massive Navy plane was spotted circling over Fresno Tuesday night, just days after an unmarked Boeing plane was seen, leaving many wondering what it was doing in the area. Many residents say they heard it before they saw it.  Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, stormed into a classroom inside ODU’s Constant Hall and asked if it was an ROTC class. When someone confirmed that it was, he launched the suspected terror attack, shooting the professor several times, law enforcement sources said. A heroic ROTC cadet at the Virginia school jumped into action to prevent more carnage, stabbing Jalloh to death after the crazed suspect gunned down the class instructor.  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 | Instag

There are new questions on Wednesday about the war with Iran and whether the country would consider attacking the United States and California in particular. Gov. Gavin Newsom addressed those reports on Wednesday. “As it relates to drone strikes, we have been aware of that information,” he said. “We have been working collaboratively through the (SOC), which we established right after the war began -- the State Operations Center. Working with the Office of Emergency Services, but also working locally to make sure we transmit any information that we have received.”  Kai Trump, the 18-year-old granddaughter of President Donald Trump, brought her Secret Service detail and all her YouTube followers along on a run to luxury grocery store Erewhon, sparking widespread criticism on social media.  Fresno and the Central Valley could see temperatures rise as high as 90 degrees by early next week — unseasonably warm weather that may signal a hotter spring and summer this year.

The governing board for the state’s third-largest school district will discuss eliminating more positions at Wednesday’s meeting, according to the meeting agenda. The 49 positions on the list are retirements or vacancies from classified positions, including 15 custodians, 14 nutrition services assistants and two bus drivers.  Investigators contacted the Albuquerque homeowners to gather the home camera footage and information in an effort to track down William Neil McCasland, 68, who vanished without a trace from his home on Feb. 28, according to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office.  The attorney general relocated from a Washington apartment to a base in the area within the past month, according to people familiar with the situation.  A new study shows that AI can identify the real people behind burner or pseudonymous accounts with surprising accuracy, posing a major threat to online anonymity.

Joe Rogan ripped President Donald Trump for his “insane” war against Iran on Tuesday and argued he let down his Make America Great Again supporters by launching it. Rogan also questioned whether Israel prodded Trump into striking Iran.  The Defense Department burned through $93 billion that month alone, signing checks left and right in order to dry up its congressionally allocated budget, according to a recent analysis by the government watchdog Open the Books.

Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula was scheduled to speak at a Sacramento press conference on expanding Medi‑Cal for undocumented immigrants — but bailed minutes before it began, just days after news broke that he spent a month in rehab for alcohol and marijuana addiction.   Republican Christine Bish is switching races, announcing she will now run for California’s 3rd Congressional District after Rep. Kevin Kiley decided to leave the GOP and seek reelection in the newly redrawn District 6 instead. Bish said Kiley’s move “changed the dynamics” and left District 3 without a strong Republican contender—even as Democrats hold an 8‑point voter edge there. She will once again face Democrat Ami Bera, who is also jumping districts after redistricting.  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.  -

The FBI warned California police that Iran had considered launching a drone attack on the state from an offshore vessel if the U.S. struck Iran, though the intelligence had no confirmed targets, timing, or details. State officials, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, say they’re aware of the alert and coordinating with federal partners, but emphasize there is no credible or imminent threat.  A new report shows Gov. Gavin Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, has taken in over $3.7 million through her gender‑advocacy nonprofit, The Representation Project, and her for‑profit company Girls Club LLC — at times collecting nearly 30% of the nonprofit’s entire annual revenue. Her compensation is higher than 95% of CEOs running nonprofits of similar size, raising fresh scrutiny over the eyebrow‑raising payouts.  State Republicans are pushing Governor Gavin Newsom to replace commissioners of the California Board of Parole Hearings after the board approved the release of two sex offenders, i

The Army is granting more direct commissions to civilians in high-tech fields like cyber, artificial intelligence, and space. The plan to put these new soldiers in uniform is an expansion of a program that directly commissioned four Silicon Valley executives into the Army Reserve as lieutenant colonels last June.  Based on 2024 U.S. Census data, the most recent available, the analysis shows that full-time workers ages 22 to 27 who majored in theology, performing arts, social services and education report some of the lowest median earnings early in their careers.  Authorities responded to a reported hazmat situation at Disneyland on Tuesday after an unknown odor was detected near the backstage area of Tomorrowland’s Star Tours attraction.  Trump has been gifting footwear to agency heads, lawmakers, White House advisers and VIPs. “Did you get the shoes?” he asks at cabinet meetings.

Kiley said he didn’t view his move as a falling out with the Republican Party, but as a show of “frustration with partisanship itself.”  Iran sent out a possible “operational trigger” to activate “sleeper assets” abroad after the war with America and Israel began, according to an encrypted message intercepted by the US. The coded signal was sent out following the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Feb. 28, with the message appearing to hold instructions for “covert operatives or sleeper assets.”  The aircraft spent nearly two hours making mock landings at the Fresno Yosemite International Airport, according to observers. The plane was identified as a Boeing E-6B Mercury, often referred to as a “Doomsday Plane.”  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 podca

A newly-surfaced document published in the DOJ's Epstein database reveals that an inmate once told the FBI that he overheard prison guards talking about covering up Epstein's death on the morning the sex offender died.  Kiley said he didn’t view his move as a falling out with the Republican Party, but as a show of “frustration with partisanship itself.” He said that if he wanted to forge an easier political path he would have run in a safe Republican district. But he said he preferred to continue representing his hometown of Rocklin.

Oil prices continue to soar as "major combat operations" continue in Iran. The national and local economy is feeling the hit, especially at the gas pump. To erode public support for the joint U.S.-Israel military operation, Iranian state media has sought to portray those countries’ leaders as part of a corrupt and depraved “Epstein class” or “Epstein regime.” 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.

A retired U.S. Air Force general has been missing for 11 days, and NewsNation has now learned hundreds of homeowners have been contacted for security camera footage, resulting in no reported sightings. William Neil McCasland, 68, was reported missing after leaving his Albuquerque, New Mexico, home on foot Feb. 27, according to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, which has teamed up with the FBI to find the former military official.

A proposed California voter ID initiative has submitted over 1.3 million signatures, putting it on track for the November 2026 ballot pending certification. Supporters say it boosts election integrity, while Democrats and voting‑rights groups argue it would disenfranchise poor, Black, and Latino voters and are tying the measure politically to Donald Trump.  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.

Uber is rolling out a nationwide “Women Drivers” option that lets women riders — and teens using supervised teen accounts — request female drivers, while women drivers can choose to accept trips only from women. The expansion comes even as Uber faces a California class‑action lawsuit from male drivers who argue the policy is discriminatory and violates the state’s Unruh Civil Rights Act, though Uber says the feature is a common‑sense safety measure driven by user demand.  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.

From the offices of Lerandeau & Lerandeau Family Law, Lacey Sanchez joins the program to help us untangle some of the questions regarding Elizabeth Arambula’s divorce filing from the five-term State Assemblyman, Joaquin Arambula. Philip Teresi also takes a look at a report from The San Joaquin Valley Sun that says Fresnoland, a nonprofit media outlet, has been notably silent on two major Fresno stories, Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula’s rehab‑and‑divorce scandal and the illegal human‑compost controversy at Sumner Peck Ranch, even as the stories dominated other local news coverage. The article points to Fresnoland’s financial and organizational ties to the Arambula family, including Joaquin Arambula’s brother serving on its board, arguing that these connections may explain why the outlet has avoided reporting on scandals that directly involve the family.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---  Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on t

During a press conference in Florida, President Donald Trump said he is “disappointed” that Iran selected Mojtaba Khamenei as its new supreme leader, claiming the choice will lead to “more of the same problems” in Iran. Pressed on whether the new leader is now a U.S. target, Trump called it “inappropriate” to answer but emphasized he is “not happy with him.”  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.

Registered sex offender Rene Campos officially attempted to file paperwork to run for the Fresno City Council District 7 seat, prompting immediate backlash from local and state leaders. Though he submitted his candidacy documents, Campos ultimately failed to gather the required 20 nomination signatures, ending his bid and fueling legislative efforts to bar registered sex offenders from holding public office.

Crude oil prices briefly spiked to nearly $120 a barrel as the Iran war disrupted key Middle East production sites. Chevron is warning that proposed changes to California’s Greenhouse Gas Cap‑and‑Invest Program could raise gas prices by more than $1 per gallon over the next decade and threaten thousands of oil‑industry jobs, arguing the higher permit costs would push energy companies out of the state.  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.

Wendy’s U.S. president Pete Suerken jumped into the viral fast‑food “burger wars” by filming himself grilling and devouring a Baconator, taking big confident bites and praising it as “what a good hamburger should be.” His video playfully jabbed rivals — including a dig at McDonald’s famously broken ice‑cream machines — and followed viral clips of McDonald’s and Burger King executives awkwardly taste‑testing their own burgers.  Wendy’s has launched a nationwide search for a “Chief Tasting Officer”, offering a $100,000 salary to a fan willing to taste menu items and create content — a marketing stunt arriving right as fast‑food “burger wars” heat up online between major chains. The playful job posting requires no formal qualifications beyond “a mouth, a pulse, opinions, and creativity,” and applicants must submit a short video before March 30 to be considered.   A reminder that’s become a road-t

Scientists have discovered a plant‑derived molecule called DHL‑11, isolated from Munronia henryi, that kills aggressive triple‑negative breast cancer cells by triggering a cascade of DNA damage, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. The compound works by disrupting the cancer‑critical enzyme IMPDH2 in an unusual way — destabilizing it rather than simply blocking it — and showed strong effectiveness in both lab tests and patient‑derived tumor organoids.  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  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---  Philip Teresi

The Justice Department is reviewing whether it wrongly withheld Epstein‑related documents, after reports showed missing FBI interview files involving a woman’s uncorroborated allegations against President Trump. DOJ says any improperly excluded records will be released once identified.  Justin Garza High School students are performing In the Heights on an authentic Broadway set — the very one used in past professional productions — thanks to support from Central Unified and Wow Productions. The rare opportunity has energized the cast, who say the realistic backdrop makes them feel “transported to NYC,” and VIP ticket holders can even take a backstage tour during the show’s March run.  The Justice Department is reviewing whether it wrongly withheld Epstein‑related documents, after reports showed missing FBI interview files involving a woman’s uncorroborated allegations against President Trump.
