Trump released all the remaining secret JFK files! Except not really. And they're full of revelations! Except not really. (They're mainly full of people's social security numbers which, it transpires, is pretty much all the remaining redactions were hiding.) Anna Paulina Luna (R, FL) is leading a new congressional investigation! Er... no, she's inviting conspiracy theorists into Congress to confirm her ill-informed beliefs. The mystery is solved! Or deepens! Except nope nope and nope. In this impromptu News Brief, Jack and Daniel jump off from a supremely stupid clip of reactionary conspiracybrained shitheads Bill Maher and Andrew Sullivan to ponder the changing political meaning of the conspiracy theories around the Kennedy assassination, why it has migrated from a left preoccupation all the way over to being an obsession of MAGA and the far-right. Along the way we encounter the peculiar and controversial author Gerald Posner, who is able to debunk JFK conspiracy theories but apparently unable to see the problems with Israel's policies in Gaza, Elon Musk doing seig heils, or Gender Criticals who think the Trans movement is all funded by evil rich Jews (or possibly alien lizards).

Please visit Paul's website, Death To Justice. Paul's recent article: Fair Play for Burt Griffin and Leon Hubert of the Warren Commission? Paul wrote "Death To Justice: The Shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald" - View on Amazon. The US National Archives has released over 2,000 previously restricted JFK files! View here. Find The Jimmy Dore Show on Rumble! View Here. The "Joe Rogan Experience" can be found free on Spotify! View Here. The movie Executive Action came out in 1973. Watch Here. Gerald Posner is still pushing the "Oswald did it" lies during a recent interview regarding the JFK files. Len thanks Paul for his earnest efforts to provide quality research to the public & JFK researchers. People tune into shows like Black Op Radio, Joe Rogan & Jimmy Dore to hear authentic research. Attorneys Burt Griffin & Leon Hubert, leads for the Warren Commission's investigation into Ruby. Paul found an 11 page memo when researching while writing "Death To Justice" Was Jack Ruby connected to Lee Harvey Oswald? Did they collaborate together? Griffin memo to J. Lee. Rankin reveals the men had many unanswered questions, desiring more answers. Griffin really latched on to DPD Sgt. Patrick Dean, feeling that he was highly suspicious. Dean was really the catalyst for the charge of premeditation for the charge of murder against Ruby. March 24, 1964 Sgt. Patrick Dean was questioned by attorney Burt Griffin for the Warren Commission. The next day, March 25th, Dean filed a complaint against Griffin, who was then ordered back to D.C.. Dean was basically the star witness for the Dallas Police Department in Jack Ruby’s trial. When a Canadian from Victoria called in to say they had footage of the assassination, Dean took the call. Dean tripped himself up when Griffin questioned Dean about the door that lead from the Annex building. Dean was in charge of the security for Dallas City Hall basement in preparation of Oswald’s transfer. Why did the DPD & the Warren Commission protect Sgt. Patrick Dean? Dean was the one who assigned two reserve officers at the entrance way that Ruby utilized. How did Dean indirectly remove these two reserve officers from the basement? Ruby's business partner, Bertha Cheek, was sister in law to Oswald's landlord at the rooming house. Why did Jack Ruby kill Oswald? Griffin & Hubert recommended that Oswald's murder should have it's own chapter in the WC Report. Railroading Griffin & Hubert's investigation basically ended the probe into Ruby & Oswald’s relationship. Dean gave another statement to the Warren Commission, but in D.C., where was he was basically apologized to. In the middle of June or July of 1964, Dean personally asked to have a polygraph test. Unbelievably, even with Dean writing his own questions, he failed his own polygraph test! The results to Dean's failed polygraph test were never given to the Warren Commission! Declared lost! These notes were unavailable for the HSCA's investigation, Dean was called before the HSCA again. Although questioned, the questioning was about how Dean was questioned by the Warren Commission in ‘64. Why did Dean say in his interviews to media on Nov. 24th that he'd seen Ruby enter down the Main St. Ramp? The lawyers wanted to look into the anti-Castro & Dallas Police Dept. connections of Ruby's. Dean took a trip to the third floor of City Hall where he got instructions to take Sorrels to question Jack Ruby. Dean himself appears to be an example compartmentalization on an individual. On the evening of November 24th, after the shooting, there was a meeting back at Jack Ruby's apartment. Attorney Tom Howard was at this meeting. Howard was also present in the basement when Ruby shot Oswald. George Senator, Ruby's roommate & business partner, did not discuss the meeting of the 24th when interviewed. When there are multiple discrepancies & things don't...

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- Steve Milloy—Senior Legal Fellow with the Energy and Environment Legal Institute & former Trump EPA Transition Team Member—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap President Donald Trump's speech to the World Economic Forum (WEF). At one point, Trump defiantly proclaimed: “I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful Green New Deal—I call it the Green New Scam. I withdrew from the one-sided Paris Climate Accord and ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate. We're going to let people buy the car they want to buy.” 5:30pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump invited reporters to the Oval Office to watch him sign several executive orders—including one which authorizes the release of the John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. assassination files. Will the soon-to-be released files show that President Kennedy was killed by the C.I.A.??? Matt emphatically says he doesn't believe in conspiracy theories and thinks Gerald Posner's assessment is likely correct—there was no “inside job.” But Rich and Justin want to see the unredacted files before accepting that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. 5:40pm- While speaking to reporters outside of the White House, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that 1,500 U.S. troops will be sent to the Southern border to protect the country's sovereignty. In an executive order signed on Monday night, the Trump Administration classified unlawful border crossings as an “invasion” and designated drug cartels as “foreign terrorist organizations” which should allow the administration to circumvent the Posse Comitatus Act.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/23/2025): 3:05pm- On Monday night, President Donald Trump pardoned 1,500+ Americans arrested for a series of crimes related to events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, and he commuted the sentences of 14 others. Rich notes that several things can be true at once: some of those arrested acted abhorrently, but the Department of Justice was overly aggressive with prosecutions. According to some reports, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is at least considering charging January 6th offenders with local crimes which would not be covered under President Trump's pardon. 3:15pm- In the Oval Office on Monday night, President Donald Trump signed an executive order clarifying the 14th Amendment—emphasizing limitations to “birthright citizenship.” The Trump Administration's interpretation states that the children of non-U.S. citizens who are in the country unlawfully should not be granted citizenship. The Congressional Research Center has noted that the Supreme Court “has not firmly settled the issue in the modern era.” Rich points out that courts already recognize a narrow exception to the 14th Amendment, not granting U.S. citizenship to the children of diplomats. 3:40pm- Michael Donahue—Cape May GOP Chairman & former New Jersey Superior Court Judge—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the American First Policy Institute establishing a New Jersey-based chapter of their organization with Donahue serving as Chair! 4:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump invited reporters to the Oval Office to watch him sign several executive orders—including one which authorizes the release of the John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. assassination files. He also pardoned imprisoned pro-life activists. 4:40pm- While speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News, President Donald Trump suggested it might be a wise decision to be less reliant upon the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and instead allow states to manage their own disaster relief. 5:00pm- Steve Milloy—Senior Legal Fellow with the Energy and Environment Legal Institute & former Trump EPA Transition Team Member—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap President Donald Trump's speech to the World Economic Forum (WEF). At one point, Trump defiantly proclaimed: “I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful Green New Deal—I call it the Green New Scam.

It's America's greatest unsolved murder. Who shot JFK? On the 60th anniversary of the Warren Commission, we debate who was really behind the assassination of the 35th President of the United States. One one side of this debate is the lone gunman theory, the U.S. government's official statement supported by the Warren Commission's findings. Proponents of this theory argue that shooter Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, without any assistance or interference from outside actors. On the other side are the impassioned theorists who point to doctored evidence and eyewitness accounts as proof that there is more to the story. Whether it was a second gunman on the "grassy knoll," the mob avenging an unsuccessful coup in Cuba, or an inside job by the CIA, too many suspicious coincidences lead to only one conclusion: Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone on that fateful day. Arguing in favour of the resolution is Gerald Posner. He's an investigative journalist and the author of Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK. Arguing against the resolution is Dick Russell, author of On the Trail of the JFK Assassins: A Groundbreaking Look at America's Most Infamous Conspiracy.

In "Who's Trying to Kill Trump and Why?", Shane Smith unpacks the layers of mystery, intrigue, and outright failures behind the alleged assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course. With exclusive interviews featuring top-tier guests, including military snipers, Secret Service veterans, and security experts, this episode takes you behind the scenes of a political thriller that sounds almost too wild to be true.Listeners will hear firsthand accounts of glaring security lapses that left a gunman, armed with an AK-47-style rifle, just hundreds of yards from the former president. Explore how communication breakdowns, erased records, and denied security requests painted a grim picture of disorganization, leaving even seasoned professionals questioning whether it was incompetence or something darker at play.Shane brings on renowned ballistics expert and YouTube star Brandon Herrera to dissect the claims of conspiracy theorists, including whether the “immaculate ear” shot was even possible. Meanwhile, retired sniper Dallas Alexander and Secret Service veteran Frank Lage reveal the shocking vulnerabilities in Trump's security detail that day, from overlooked vantage points to bizarre lapses in tactical planning. And for true crime enthusiasts, assassination historian Gerald Posner offers a haunting comparison to past political plots, connecting dots that most might miss.This gripping episode isn't just about the “who” and “why” of the attempt on Trump—it's a journey into the murky depths of power, security, and the narratives that shape history.

Is the newly signed California law by Governor Gavin Newsom protecting children or pushing a controversial transgender agenda? In this eye-opening episode, investigative journalist and author Gerald Posner returns to the Common Bridge to unpack the complexities of the transgender ideology and its impact on minors. We confront the tribalism that often taints these debates and stress the urgency of evidence-based discussions. Dive deep as we scrutinize the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors, shedding light on the intricate risks and ethical challenges involved.Navigate through the nuanced realms of gender dysphoria, intersex conditions, and the surge in diagnoses among children. We discuss the rapid acceleration of medical treatments, the pharmaceutical industry's role, and the delicate issue of informed consent for minors.
