    NEVER FORGET: Where We Were on September 11th 2001

    25 Years Later: Remembering 9/11, the Heroes, and the Stories We Must Never Forget. On this special edition of The Philip Teresi Show, Philip reflects on the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, a day that forever changed America and the world. From the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to the heroic actions aboard Flight 93, we revisit the events of 9/11 and the extraordinary courage displayed in the face of unimaginable tragedy. Philip highlights the stories of first responders, firefighters, police officers, military personnel, and ordinary citizens who ran toward danger to save others. The program also explores the lasting impact of 9/11 on national security, aviation, the military, and American culture, while remembering the nearly 3,000 lives lost that day and the thousands more affected in the years since.

    SCHOOLS: How Mississippi Fixed Its Schools

    Mississippi's education turnaround demonstrates that large academic gains are possible even in a low-income state. The key factors cited are phonics-based literacy instruction, teacher training, accountability, and early intervention for struggling readers. The article contends that these evidence-based reforms can be replicated elsewhere if political leaders are willing to pursue them. Grindr experienced a surge in outage reports in Dallas during the GOP's first national midterm convention, prompting jokes and speculation online. While similar claims have surfaced during previous Republican conventions, the available evidence only confirms an increase in user-reported problems, not a verified platform-wide outage or a proven link to convention attendees.

    MEMORIALS: Airline Cancels Planned 9 11 Flyover in Denver

    United Airlines planned a 9/11 remembrance flyover in Denver featuring a passenger jet escorted by fighter aircraft at the exact time United Flight 175 struck the World Trade Center's South Tower. After concerns that the imagery could alarm or traumatize the public, the airline canceled the flyover while continuing other anniversary memorial events. A massive sinkhole opened in the driveway of a beachfront Malibu property reportedly owned by Nicolas Cage, leading city officials to declare a local emergency, evacuate dozens of homes, and warn that coastal erosion could cause further damage.

    HUMANITY: Anthropic Researcher Quits Over ‘Out-of-Control’ AI Fears

    Jacob Coxon, a researcher who worked at both OpenAI and Anthropic, resigned from the AI industry because he believes companies are moving too aggressively toward powerful AI systems that may exceed humanity's ability to control them.

    Several European governments investigating matters related to Jeffrey Epstein have requested help from the U.S. Department of Justice but say they have not yet received the cooperation they sought.

    HONORING HEROES: Trump's Role in 9-11 Recovery

    The Washington Post reports that while the ceremony celebrated the sacrifice of 9/11 victims and rescuers, it was also notable because Donald Trump repeated a disputed story about being removed from a potentially dangerous building near Ground Zero after the attacks. The claim has been questioned for years, and its repetition during a major anniversary event renewed scrutiny of the president's account. A disruptive passenger allegedly launched into a racist and homophobic tirade, assaulted fellow travelers, and forced an American Airlines flight to divert to Baltimore. Crew members and passengers ultimately restrained him with zip ties and duct tape until authorities could take him into custody. The incident highlights the ongoing challenge airlines face in dealing with violent or unruly behavior at 30,000 feet.

    DMV: Steve Hilton Pledges to Abolish California’s DMV

    Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton announced a proposal to eliminate the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) as a standalone state agency if he is elected governor. He unveiled the plan during a campaign event in West Hollywood. The GOP's first-ever midterm convention in Dallas is intended to rally Republicans ahead of November's elections and showcase the Trump administration's agenda. However, the decision by several vulnerable Republican candidates to skip the event highlights concerns within the party about how closely they should align themselves with Trump in competitive races.

    TUESDAYS WITH TERRY: CCW for Special Operators, Lindsay Clancy, Weed & Clown College

    A new bill introduced by Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.), a former Navy SEAL, would allow certain active-duty and veteran U.S. special operations personnel to carry concealed firearms nationwide, regardless of varying state concealed-carry laws. As the Lindsay Clancy murder trial drew national attention, a growing number of online commentators began speculating about the role of her former husband, Patrick Clancy. NewsNation examined whether those accusations could expose some posters, influencers, or commentators to defamation lawsuits. NPR reported on a major new study published in JAMA Health Forum that found adolescent cannabis use was associated with a significantly increased risk of developing serious mental health disorders later in life, including psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression. Major Slatic takes a look at an unexpected trend: aspiring actors and other burned-out professionals are turning to clown training as a way to relieve stress, rediscover creativity, and escape the pressure to constantly perform perfectly. The article argues that modern clowning is less about circus entertainment and more about vulnerability, spontaneity, and learning to embrace failure.

    LOCATION-SHARING: Parents Tracking Kids & Kids Tracking Them Back

    There’s a growing family-tech trend: location-sharing apps. Philip looks into how family location-sharing apps have evolved from parents tracking kids to everyone tracking everyone. While many families view the practice as convenient and reassuring, experts caution that constant monitoring can raise privacy issues and may contribute to anxiety. In many households, children now know exactly where their parents are and aren't shy about using that information.

    CAPITOL ANNEX: Million Dollar Italian Stonework Begins Installation

    The attorney for Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three children in 2023, is asking President Donald Trump to consider a pardon following the dramatic end of her murder trial in a mistrial. A bipartisan effort in Congress to force the release of additional Jeffrey Epstein-related records is gaining momentum, with 106 members of the House of Representatives signing a discharge petition aimed at forcing a vote on new transparency legislation. Installation has begun on the $5.2 million Italian-fabricated granite façade for the new California Capitol Annex. While officials say the stonework is necessary to match the historic Capitol and was the most practical option, the decision continues to draw criticism as part of a project whose cost has grown to roughly $1.2 billion and remains under intense scrutiny over spending and transparency.

    A political dispute has emerged ahead of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani saying current Mayor Zohran Mamdani should not attend the official memorial ceremonies. New York City has released more than 170,000 pages of previously undisclosed records related to air quality after the September 11, 2001 attacks, and the documents appear to show that city officials were aware of significant health risks around Ground Zero while publicly assuring residents and workers that conditions were safe.
