NASA’s Artemis missions could finally answer long‑standing mysteries about the Moon, from how it formed to why its far side looks so different from the side facing Earth. New samples and instruments may reveal how much water the Moon holds, what’s inside its core, and why its ancient magnetic field disappeared — reshaping what scientists know about lunar history and future exploration.  A Guinness World Records‑recognized hair collector says he now only collects samples from dead celebrities after a living star threatened legal action. The unusual hobby highlights the strange legal and ethical lines around celebrity memorabilia — and how far fandom can go before it crosses into controversy.  McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski went viral after taking a tiny bite of the chain’s new Big Arch burger in a promotional video, sparking online mockery.

Their roughly six-hour lunar flyby promises views of the moon’s far side that were too dark or too difficult to see by the 24 Apollo astronauts who preceded them. Artemis II’s astronauts are following the same figure-eight path since they are neither orbiting the moon nor landing on it. But their distance from Earth should exceed Apollo 13’s by more than 4,100 miles (6,600 kilometers).  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.

The goal: to prevent a nuclear Iran lording it over the Middle East and the world’s oil supply. The current approach also seems, from the U.S. side, overly conditioned by Mr. Trump’s business-rationalist calculation that an Iranian leader might be found, as in Venezuela, who would recognize the lure of an offer he can’t refuse.  In recent days, Trump and his aides assessed that a mission to pry open the chokepoint would push the conflict beyond his timeline of four to six weeks. He decided that the U.S. should achieve its main goals of hobbling Iran’s navy and its missile stocks and wind down current hostilities while pressuring Tehran diplomatically to resume the free flow of trade. If that fails, Washington would press allies in Europe and the Gulf to take the lead on reopening the strait, the officials said.  The U.S. Army suspended an aircrew after military helicopters were filmed flying low near Kid Rock’s Tennessee home.

The TSA is grappling with a serious staffing crisis tied to the ongoing DHS funding lapse—more than 460 officers have quit since February, and nearly 10% are calling out, resulting in unprecedented security delays. TSA officials warn that unless funding is restored, smaller airports could temporarily close and the agency may struggle to manage the influx of travelers expected during the 2026 World Cup.  The White House has rejected an offer from billionaire Elon Musk to pay TSA workers during a partial government shutdown that has disrupted airport travelers across the country. The suggestion was taken seriously by Trump administration officials, but there could be legal challenges for Musk to cover the pay, even indirectly, because of Musk's various government contracts.  Fresno police revealed they used military‑style equipment nearly 300 times last year — mostly drones — during their first public meeting under a state transparency law.

Senate Bill 199 enshrines the federal "Do No Harm” earnings test contained in President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” That standard, scheduled to take effect this summer, would shut off federal financial aid for students in college programs that cannot show that after four years following their graduation, a program’s graduates earn more, on average, than a working adult with only a high school degree.  60% of employers have fired recent Gen Z grads within months of hiring them, citing lack of initiative, poor professionalism, and weak communication skills. Bosses call for more workplace readiness like teaching networking, proper attire, and responsibility to better prepare new graduates.  The argument is being made that the FCC must upgrade America’s aging broadband infrastructure now, so the internet can handle the explosive data demands of AI. Commissioners are poised to streamline federal rules this Thursday an opportunity to boost network capacity and prevent broadband from becoming a bottleneck for AI innovation.

A 12-year study of over 1,600 adults found that those who closely followed the MIND diet—rich in leafy greens, berries, fish, and olive oil, while limiting fried foods and red meat—had brains that appeared roughly 2.5 years younger on MRI scans.  A new University of Michigan‑led survey finds that about 19 million Americans (7%) have seriously thought about shooting someone, including 8.7 million within the past year, though most do not act on these thoughts. While firearm ownership wasn’t tied to these thoughts, respondents who considered shooting someone were more likely to either bring a gun to a location or plan to acquire one—highlighting critical intervention opportunities.  Nicotine pouches — like Zyn — have exploded in popularity, but instead of ending up in trash bins, they’re turning up as litter everywhere from urinals to sidewalks, rivaling cigarette butts as a sanitation nuisance. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Wall Street Journal criticizes the Pentagon for spending millions on luxury seafood, including lobster, and other high‑end catering, arguing it reflects a culture of unchecked excess inside the Defense Department.  AI chatbots are now “poisoning” academic research by inventing realistic-sounding but completely fake citations, which are then being cited in real scholarly articles, a problem that began with student essays and has now spread to professional journals.  In the 1960s, a shaky film shot in the wilderness helped launch the Bigfoot industry, enriching and then upending the lives of the men behind it. ‘Capturing Bigfoot’ chronicles the fallout.  GameStop has officially labeled the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii U as “retro consoles” and launched a Retro Trade-In Bonus, running through March 21, offering an extra 10% credit on these trade-ins.  They’ll even take non-working units using power-on functionality, humorously reminding buyers that “historic artifacts” are still “very cool.”  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.

The Wall Street Journal argues that coverage of Iran has become relentlessly one‑sided and alarmist, dominated by worst‑case scenarios that downplay Tehran’s own aggression and internal weaknesses. The editorial says Americans are being fed “only bad news fit to print,” distorting public understanding of the conflict and overstating Iran’s strength while ignoring its strategic failures and domestic instability.  One of the United States’ top counterterrorism officials resigned on Tuesday, citing his opposition to the war in Iran and what he said was Israel’s influence over the Trump administration’s policies, a sign of emerging divisions in the Republican coalition.  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.

Researchers from ETH Zurich, MATS, and Anthropic say AI can pull subtle “identity signals” from writing style, behavior patterns, and data matching, essentially breaking the long‑held assumption that burner accounts are safe.

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.  -- 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.

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, including a man described as a serial child predator.  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.

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 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 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.

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.

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 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.

James Capers Jr., who saved his reconnaissance team during a brutal 1967 Vietnam ambush despite severe gunshot and shrapnel wounds.

A longtime Lowell High School math teacher in San Francisco has been placed on indefinite leave after parents reported sexist and fat‑shaming questions on ninth‑grade Algebra quizzes, including problems about the cost of a date based on a girl’s weight and a scenario titled “Mr. Chan vs. The Fat Kid.” The district says it’s actively investigating, while some students described the teacher’s style as misguided “dad jokes,” and others say similar content appeared in past classes.  Sen. Tim Sheehy helped Capitol Police forcibly remove anti‑war protester Brian McGinnis from a Senate hearing after McGinnis interrupted proceedings and struggled with officers.  McGinnis later claimed his arm was broken, while police accused him of violently resisting arrest and charged him with multiple offenses.

Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria is pushing a bill to ban registered sex offenders from holding public office after Fresno council candidate Rene Campos, convicted in 2018 of possessing child sexual abuse material, entered the District 7 race.  Campos calls the proposal unfair, saying he has met all legal obligations and continues to comply with the law.  A viral video revealed that the dramatic Zulu chant opening The Lion King, long assumed by fans to be deeply spiritual, actually translates to something hilariously simple like “Look!

California taxpayers are funding Kamala Harris’ multi‑city book‑tour security, with dozens of CHP officers escorting her in the U.S. and abroad but the state won’t say how much it costs or how long it will continue.  Critics argue the secrecy raises concerns about using public resources for a private, money‑making tour.  Gov. Gavin Newsom warned he may pull state funding from 10 “underperforming” counties including Fresno, LA, San Francisco, Kern, and Riverside for failing to meet benchmarks under his CARE Court mental‑health and homelessness program.  He blasted the counties for filing too few treatment petitions and said he’ll redirect money to better‑performing regions, while local officials pushed back, arguing low petition numbers don’t reflect failure and that counties need more funding, not threats to improve services.  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.

U.S. financial firms are on high alert for cyberattacks as the war with Iran escalates, with companies ramping up threat monitoring amid the heightened geopolitical tension. The killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has fueled regional chaos, shaken global markets, and raised fears that Iran‑linked hackers could target America’s financial sector in retaliation.  Iran’s spot in the 2026 World Cup is now uncertain, after U.S.–Israeli strikes and the killing of Iran’s supreme leader prompted the country’s soccer chief to say they may not be able to participate. FIFA says it’s too early to comment, while Iran’s games in Los Angeles and Seattle face added complications because Iranian fans are barred from entering the U.S. under a travel ban.  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.

Four U.S. soldiers killed in an Iranian drone strike at a Kuwaiti port have been identified as Capt. Cody Khork, Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, and Sgt. Declan Coady.  The attack marked the first American casualties of the U.S.–Israel war with Iran.  NAS Lemoore has canceled this year's air show amid the conflict in Iran.

A bizarre “Jim Carrey clone” conspiracy erupted online after his César Awards appearance, fueled by a decades‑old decoy clip and a drag artist’s joking Instagram post claiming to impersonate him.  In reality, Carrey was genuinely at the ceremony with family, and rumors spiraled only because some fans thought he looked “different” in footage from the event.  A California flying‑EV startup has become the latest casualty of the state’s tech downturn, laying off 80% of its workforce as funding dries up and production stalls.  The company’s collapse adds to a growing wave of job cuts hitting futuristic transportation firms struggling to turn bold concepts into sustainable businesses.  Reese’s founder’s grandson says some newer Reese’s products no longer contain real milk chocolate or peanut butter, calling them “gross and waxy” and made mostly of vegetable oils.  Hershey denies changing the classic Peanut Butter Cup recipe but acknowledges tweaks in certain seasonal and specialty items, sparking widespread consumer backlash.  Republican Sen. John Cornyn is fighting for a fifth term, with state Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt both arguing it's time to change things up. Meanwhile, Democratic Rep.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the U.S. is racing to cripple Iran’s missile and drone capabilities before American forces run out of key interceptor munitions — a concern top Pentagon officials warned President Trump about before the operation began. The U.S. has been burning through air‑defense missiles at an accelerated pace, with repeated Iranian retaliatory barrages threatening to exhaust regional stockpiles. Replenishment is slow, production is limited, and officials say the U.S. could face a dangerous shortage within days if the tempo continues.  Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. currently has no troops on the ground in Iran, but pointedly refused to rule out deploying them, declaring the U.S. will go “as far as we need to go” to neutralize Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities.  Three polls conducted on the initial U.S. attack on Iran find the American public largely unsupportive of the strikes in the Middle East. A Washington Post poll conducted on March 1 found 52% of Americans opposed to President Donald Trump ordering airstrikes against Iran this past weekend, with another 39% in support and 9% unsure.  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.

Texas’ Senate primary is razor‑thin. GOP Sen. John Cornyn is battling Ken Paxton and Wesley Hunt as he tries to avoid a historic primary loss, while Democrats Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico fight for a rare shot at flipping a statewide seat. Both parties see high stakes and both races could head to runoffs.  A new photo of President Donald Trump sparked online buzz after he appeared at a Medal of Honor ceremony with a bright red rash stretching down his neck. The White House doctor says it’s just irritation from a “common preventative skin cream,” with redness expected to last weeks but offered no explanation of what the treatment is for. The moment adds to ongoing attention over Trump’s hand bruising and leg swelling, previously blamed on daily aspirin use and chronic venous insufficiency.

A Dutch museum has confirmed a newly rediscovered Rembrandt, thanks to a microscopic study that uncovered the artist’s signature touch a single, tiny brushstroke hidden like a “needle in a haystack.” The 17th‑century portrait had been misattributed for years, but experts now say it is unquestionably the work of the Dutch master.  New research suggests popular GLP‑1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy may slightly increase the risk of osteoporosis and gout, according to an analysis of more than 146,000 adults with obesity and Type 2 diabetes. About 4% of GLP‑1 users developed osteoporosis vs. just over 3% of non‑users a 30% higher risk and gout rates were also modestly higher. Researchers say rapid weight loss and reduced nutrient intake may play a role, though the findings are not yet peer‑reviewed.

Israeli and U.S. military intelligence had long watched and waited for a rare opportunity: senior political and military leaders in Iran holding a meeting—where they could all be killed at once.  Fresno’s Iranian-American community said the past 48 hours signal positive change to Iran’s future.

Critics, including former Pennsylvania DA Rob Greene, argue the ban is outdated and unconstitutional, while the Trump administration defends it as a key public‑safety measure.

Choudri has been on leave since Tuesday after reports revealed he was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence.

The Supreme Court dealt President Trump a major setback Friday, striking down most of his global tariffs, one of the key pillars of his second‑term economic agenda. In a 6–3 ruling written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court said the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not give Trump the authority to impose those tariffs on his own. President Trump says he’s ordering federal agencies to release files on “alien and extraterrestrial life,” following recent comments from Barack Obama, who joked the odds of life out there are good but insisted he saw no evidence of aliens while in office.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says the coronavirus pandemic never scared him ... because he survived a time in his life when he was snorting illicit drugs off toilet seats! The Health and Human Services Secretary was on Theo Von's podcast when he explained why he felt the need to go to 12-step meetings in person every day during the pandemic. The Department of Justice (DOJ) released the latest batch of files from the criminal investigations into the late financier and convicted sex offender on Friday, Jan. 30, and an email exchange in the more than 3 million files confirms that Epstein and longtime associate Maxwell went “hunting” for dinosaur fossils with Kennedy. As for Grok’s take on nutrition, its answers do indeed get real. In short, Grok indicates that Kennedy’s new nutrition guidelines are not based on high-quality evidence—which is true—and that Kennedy is not a reliable source of nutrition information.

A youthful vanguard of progressive office-holders have largely opted against defending the Clintons, even as many regard the GOP effort to compel their testimony blatantly hypocritical and politically driven.  The court’s pending decision could open the floodgates to even more campaign ads from the national parties and extend the timeline of campaign advertising much earlier into the summer. That would give the parties greater power in making their case directly to voters ahead of the 2026 midterms and potentially play to Republicans’ benefit in this year’s elections.  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.

The process is typically overseen by states. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
