Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associatesseries on radio and podcast. I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang, and today's episode takes us to the heart of one of history's most critical periods—a time when the future of Europe, and the world, hung in the balance. But rather than battlefields or the halls of power, our story today begins in the quiet countryside of Kent, England, at a place called Chartwell—the beloved home of Winston Churchill.In the 1930s, Churchill was not the wartime hero we know today. Churchill was a man out of government, politically isolated, and with few allies. Yet, it was at Chartwell, far from the center of British politics, that Churchill launched his most crucial campaign—sounding the alarm against Nazi Germany. It was here, behind closed doors, that he convened with great minds and trusted advisers—figures like Albert Einstein, T. E. Lawrence, and even American diplomat Joseph Kennedy—seeking intelligence, building alliances, and preparing for the storm he knew was coming.But we have Katherine Carter today and we'll talk about Churchill's Chartwell.  Katherine Carter knows Chartwell better than anyone. She's spent over a decade managing the house and its remarkable collections. Katherine joins us to discuss her latest book, available at Apple Books, Churchill's Citadel: Chartwell and the Gatherings Before the Storm. In this fascinating work, Katherine Carterunveils the little-known meetings that took place there and the critical influence they had on Churchill's eventual rise to power and the course of history.Get ready to explore the untold stories of Churchill's quiet yet powerful citadel. And now, let's welcome Katherine Carter to The Not Old Better Show.Stay tuned! You won't want to miss this incredible look into a pivotal moment in history.My thanks to Katherine Carter, her generosity today, and her wonderful new book Churchill's Citadel.  Katherine Carter will be presenting at Smithsonian Associates and the title of her presentation is ‘Churchill At Chartwell,'  please check out our show notes today for details about Catherine Carter at Smithsonian Associates.  My thanks to Smithsonian for their ongoing support of the show and for all they do.  My thanks to Executive Producer Sam Heninger, his work on sound design and making the show the success it is.  My thanks to all of you online and via terrestrial radio.  Be well, be safe an let's talk about better!  The Not Old Better Show.  Thanks everyone and we'll see you next time. Hosted by Ausha.

Part One Jim DiEugenio Jim's Website Kennedys and King Maureen Callahan Goes over the Edge - Along with Megyn Kelly Read Part Three Jim wraps up his three part review of Maureen Callaghan's fictitious book, Ask Not. Read a detailed & shortened version of the reviews on Jim's Stubstack. Before publishing Ask Not, why didn't Callaghan or Kelly invest in a professional fact checker? Why wouldn't Megyn Kelly try to verify Callaghan's claims BEFORE Callaghan's interview? Callaghan relies on disinfo books written on the Chappaquiddick event by Paul Burke & Leo Damore. Unfortunately, Ted Kennedy's first wife, Joan, was unable to curb her alcoholism. Jim disputes Callaghan's claim that Ted Kennedy killed Mary Jo Kopechne. Ted Kennedy had never been to Chappaquiddick before July 18, 1969. Ted Kennedy rarely drove anywhere by himself, he was usually driven by a driver. Jim feels the accident was due to Ted Kennedy not knowing the Chappaquiddick roads or Dyke Bridge. On August 23, 1956 Jackie Kennedy gave birth to a premature baby girl, Arabella, who was stillborn. Although Arabella wasn't due for five weeks, Callaghan implies JFK was negligent by being absent. Diana de Vegh first wrote about her "affair" with JFK when he was a Senator, 60 years after the fact. Rosemary, daughter of Joseph & Mary Kennedy, born with mental health issues. In desperation, Joseph Kennedy gave approval to doctors to perform a frontal lobotomy on Rosemary. Jackie Kennedy was absent from the birthday fundraiser for JFK at Madison Gardens in NYC. Jackie wasn't fond of going to fundraising events, where she felt "for sale", asking people for money. Marilyn Monroe was just one of seventeen different entertainers at JFK's birthday fundraiser in 1962. Marilyn Monroe was married & divorced three times by age 35. Where is Callaghan's evidence that Marilyn was having an affair with JFK or RFK? How could JFK or RFK be responsible for Marilyn Monroe's death if they weren't with Marilyn? Jackie went to Europe with her sister, after the death of baby Patrick who died at just two days old. Jackie returned in time for JFK's trip to Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963.

  Maureen Callahan Goes over the Edge Along with Megyn Kelly Review Part One James Lawson, advisor & assistant to MLK, passed way in Los Angeles on June 9th. Lawson had been an expert on non-violence and MLK's murder. Professor Jeffery Sachs interviewed Monica Wiesak about the assassination of JFK. Jim feels Monica Wiesak's America's Last President is the best book written on JFK in recent years. Read Jim's recent article Maureen Callahan Goes over the Edge Read Part Two Here The Posthumous Assassination of John F. Kennedy published by Jim in rebuttal to Seymour Hersh. Dark Side of Camelot - horribly written, poorly researched & a complete hatchet job. ABC bought the rights to Hersh's book, later discovered via forensic testing the documents were fake. Lawrence X. Cusack III forged the documents Hersh used as sources for The Dark Side of Camelot. Joseph Kennedy's secretary, never having met Marilyn Monroe, easily discredited Hersh's claims. Researcher Greg Schreiner, warned Hersh that signature on documents was not Marilyn Monroe’s. Greg Schreiner hosts a site dedicated to Marilyn at themarilynmonroesite.com Ask Not by Maureen Callahan a hack piece. Jim points out Ask Not was going nowhere, until Megyn Kelly's interview with Maureen Callahan. Listens to Megyn & Maureen's podcast contacted Jim to help debunk their research & claims. Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy & Carolyn Bessette's eyes featured on the cover of Ask Not. Why? DiEugenio has debunked rumours the Kennedy brothers were involved with Marilyn Monroe’s death. Don McGovern wrote Murder Orthodoxies & transferred it to the Marilyn from the 22nd Row website. If you read Don McGovern's book, you'll realize what a hoax the Marilyn Monroe industry was & is. Gary Vitacco Robles wrote a chapter dedicated to Marilyn wire tapping claims in his book Icon. Anthony Summers used bribes made by Nobel Kid Chissell to validate his research on Marilyn Monroe. Despite being debunked, Callahan uses Summers & Donald Wolfe as sources for her book. Summers & Wolfe give credibility to the liar, Robert Slatzer. Why? Jim recommends following Marilyn Monroe author April VeVea, creator of Classic Blondes. Despite lacking a marriage certificate, Robert Slatzer claimed he married Marilyn Monroe in 1952. Don McGovern tears this claim apart in his book, writing eighteen pages that discredit Slatzer's claims. April Vevea found photo of Marilyn taken in LA on the day Slatzer states they were married in Mexico. Slatzer bribed Nobel Kid Chissell, to state he was a witness to Robert & Marilyn's wedding ceremony. Slatzer ended up being Welshing on the deal. Jeanne Carmen made 31 appearances masquerading as Marilyn Monroe's best friend after her death. Bobby Kennedy was in San Francisco with his family on the day Marilyn died. Peter Lawford had invited Marilyn to his dinner party in Santa Monica & not in LA. Pathologist Boyd Stephens believed Marilyn committed suicide as drugs ingested, not injected. When JFK died, Jackie's trust fund was worth about $2 million a year in today's money. In 1967, Price Sihanouk declared the Vietnam war would not have happened if JFK had lived.  

I speak with Professor Emeritus David Nasaw of the CUNY Graduate Center. We discuss his fantastic book The Last Million about the displaced persons and DP camps after WWII. I read this book to learn more about the four years my grandparents spent as refugees in Germany after the war and to learn how and why they came to the USA when they did. David Nasaw has also written award-winning biographies of Andrew Carnegie, William Randolph Hearst, and Joseph Kennedy.

Jack O'Halloran : Family LegacyJack Pagano has always felt he is different. Smart and physically talented, the normal pursuits of youth―women and sports―have always come a little too easy to him and left him unfulfilled. At age seventeen, Jack is eager to leave high school and begin his college career.But the schooling that lies ahead of him is of a far different variety than he could have ever imagined.Albert Anastasia, the notorious leader of Murder, Inc., appears and claims Pagano as his son. But before Jack can make heads or tails of his new-found father, Anastasia is gunned down at the Park Sheraton Hotel.Under the tutelage of his late father's associates, Meyer Lansky and Frank Costello, Jack enters a world where crime and politics, money and murder, and the American way of life are all but a hand's breadth apart and inextricably linked.At the same time, another father is grooming his son to further his plans: Joseph Kennedy, the patriarch of what will become American's ruling dynasty, has set his sights on the White House―and with the help of some old friends in Chicago, his son, also Jack, will rise to power.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

As you may recall, I am currently preparing to release a comprehensive personal growth program called, “The Higher Mind Training.” Its purpose is to help people harmonize their intelligence, which will allow them to transform the prison of self-sabotage into the freedom of self-empowerment.           We will have programs designed to address specific needs, like smoking cessation, freedom from drug and alcohol abuse, and weight loss.  We will also offer a general personal growth training, as well.           As I have also mentioned in some previous podcast episodes, as part of the preparation effort, I am reviewing a large portion of the research material I have collected over the years, including some of the journals that I have kept, and I am going to present some of it to you for your consideration.   Although the material may seem to cover a wide range of topics, it all revolves around one central theme, which is the fact that as human beings, we have a remarkable potential within our intelligence which remains largely untapped and if we choose to, we can connect with it. Even small improvements in this kind of self-knowledge can significantly transform our lives for the better.  At this point, I'm going to look back at certain dramatic events that led me to explore some of the deeper sides of life, ultimately leading me to become deeply committed to the process of personal growth. Like each one of us, my personal life has been set against the background of the society and culture I've lived in, and as it will become apparent, the times, they were a changin'. To set the stage, I'd like to start out with a short chapter from my memoir, Wilt, Ike & Me. It takes place in March of 1965 and I am beginning here primarily due to the nature of the times. Back then, hardly any of us knew it, but we were on the verge of a massive cultural change that would eventually revolutionize the entire western world. And even though it may not be obvious, in many, the revolution goes on today.. In those days, Wilt Chamberlain had been staying with us in our home for a number of weeks and it was quite an adventure. But this isn't so much about Wilt, as it is about my sister, Sybil, a college student who had become a bit of what they called at the time, a “beatnik.” So, let's take a look at a day in the life…   * * *   A lot of the times in the late afternoon, Wilt and I would end up hanging out in my sister's room at the end of the hall, listening to music. Sybil had a nice record player and was never there. She was a sophomore now at Temple University and was out all the time. Her room was in its own part of the upstairs. Wilt was in my room, and I was in the guest room right next to it. That was on one side of the house, along with the bathroom. Then there was a long hallway that went past a small sundeck on the roof, and Sybil's room was at the far end of the hall. It was a universe unto itself, and the door to that universe was always closed. One thing I learned early in life is that you never, under any circumstances, entered her room without knocking first, and then you had to wait for her permission to come in. This was a cardinal rule and we all obeyed it implicitly. Only our homemaker, Geneva had free rein to come and go as she pleased. Sybil was what was called a beatnik in those days. My mother just called her a vilde chaya, which is a Yiddish term that doesn't translate perfectly into English, but basically means a “wild Indian.” And that shoe really fit. She was a lot like the weather in our part of the world—lots of warm, sunny days but some dark, stormy ones as well. And as her little brother, while I enjoyed basking in the sunshine when it was out, I always knew to get the hell out of the way whenever one of those storms blew through. She was by no means a bad kid, adored her parents and was fiercely loyal to her family. But she had an untamable wild streak running through her. And no matter what was going on, she was always her own boss. The first time I really saw it was during the 1960 presidential campaign. My father was for Nixon. He was tight with the Pennsylvania Republican party and had met both Eisenhower and Nixon. He had even unsuccessfully run for Congress in 1956. On top of that, he was no fan of the Kennedys. In his view, Joseph Kennedy had been weak on Hitler and he didn't trust him when it came to Jewish welfare. And in my father's world, the apple never falls too far from the tree. Sybil, on the other hand, fell madly in love with JFK. He was the first candidate who was a real media superstar, and my fifteen-year-old sister was crazy about him. She pasted about five hundred pictures of him on her wall in a massive collage. I think my father got nauseous every time he saw it and avoided ever going into her room. Even after the election, her JFK shrine endured for quite a while. Now that she was in college, her taste in wall décor had veered off into some new directions. One of her girlfriends was a talented portrait painter, who later became a famous courtroom artist. She painted three large full-color paintings for Sybil, who displayed them prominently in her room. Two were portraits of Sybil. In one, she was wearing an enormous black-feathered hat. It looked like her head was covered by a dark, foreboding raven. In the other, she was seated on a big, comfortable gold easy chair, with an opened book lying face-down on her lap. From the sour look on her face, she was either the most bored or the most depressed person in the world. But she hung the masterpiece of her collection in the center of the back wall, and it really grabbed your attention when you walked in the room. In the rear of the large painting was a blindfolded naked woman hanging from a meat hook by her tied hands. A priest stood in the foreground, dressed in a black suit and a black shirt with a white priest's collar. He was holding a Bible in his hands with a gold crucifix on top of it. And he was staring daggers at you. Sybil added her own piece of art to the mix. She made a collage and put it right next to the painting. She covered a large piece of poster paper with cutout photos of every form of human suffering imaginable. It was unbelievably awful. And in the middle, she put a true-to-life depiction of Jesus on the cross. She was obviously making a statement of some kind, but it probably would have gone over better in a dorm than in her room at home. My father couldn't stand it. I was sitting with him in the kitchen having ice cream one Thursday night, while my mother was still in New York doing her charity work. Something seemed to be bothering him. The whole time we ate, he had a weird look in his eye, like his mind was on a slow simmer. Suddenly it exploded into full boil. “God damn it!” he said and smacked his hand down on the kitchen table. He stood up, went over to a drawer, rummaged through it and pulled out a medium-size carving knife. “God damn it!” he repeated and angrily stomped out of the kitchen toward the steps that led upstairs. “What the hell is this?” I thought and went running after him. Knife in hand, he went up the steps, then down the hall to Sybil's closed door. He burst it open without knocking and flicked on the lights. I had no idea what he was up to, but I was glad she wasn't home. He walked right over to her human suffering collage, and using the sharp point of the knife, started scraping off the Crucifixion scene. He attacked it like a maniac and kept going until he had gotten rid of every last bit of it.  When he was finished, he stood there and stared at the poster for a moment. Then he turned around and looked at me. I had absolutely nothing to say, and neither did he. Now, of course, symbols mean different things to different people, and whatever that image meant to him, he clearly didn't want it in his daughter's bedroom.  But now it was gone, and everything seemed fine. We walked back to the kitchen together, sat down at the table, and finished our ice cream as though nothing had happened. My mother was absolutely horrified when she got home later, and he told her what he'd done. Somewhat of an artist herself, she felt he had no right to invade Sybil's room and inflict his will on her creative expression. She thought it was appalling. When Sybil got home the next day and my mother sheepishly began to give her the details, my sister made a point of being outraged. But her biggest effort was to hide her deep relief. When my mother said, “Sybil, Daddy went into your room last night,” her heart sank, and she got really scared. But when she heard what actually happened, she was so happy she almost burst out laughing, but kept a straight face. She told me years later that she always kept an ounce of grass in the drawer of the night table next to her bed. She couldn't have cared less about the collage, but if he had found the marijuana, it could have been a disaster. She would have really had to reach into her bag of tricks to wiggle her way out of that one. We both knew she could have done it—she was that good. But it would have been quite a challenge, even for her. Now, this was still the early days, when marijuana had just started blowing in the wind, and not too many people were smoking it at the time. When she first started, I could clearly smell a pungent, unfamiliar odor in the air. It definitely was not the same as the normal cigarette smoke that pervaded every other part of our house. When I asked her about it, she told me she had begun burning incense. It was a new thing she had found, a study aid that would clear her mind and help her concentrate. It made sense to me. One day, during Wilt's stay, she was home in her room with the door closed. Wilt and I were in my room, and I had to drive him somewhere. As we walked out into the hall, it reeked of that smell of hers. He immediately picked up on it and stopped on the landing before we went downstairs. “What's that?” he asked me, taking a couple sniffs of the air. “Oh, Sybil's into burning incense now. She does it all the time. It helps her study.” “Really?” Wilt, sounding impressed. He looked at me like I was five years old. “So, you think that's incense, huh?” I didn't say anything. What else could it be? “OK,” he said with a chuckle. “Incense it is.” But before he moved, he took one more sniff and nodded in appreciation.  “It smells like some pretty good stuff to me,” he added, and we left.   * * *   Before we close this episode, I want to add one other element to the mix. Behind her closed door, my sister always had music playing and at one point, for some strange reason, she seemed to have gotten into this hillbilly singer who had a high pitched, twangy voice and played a guitar and harmonica. It was such a weird sound that I figured it must have been some kind of comedy album. I mean, why else would anyone pay good money to listen to someone who sounded like that? It turned out that the hillbilly singer was some kid my brother's age named Bob Dylan. Astonishingly, within another few years, he would become a major hero of mine and I would know all his songs by heart. But that was still a few lifetimes away. Again, these were the very early stages of a major, unprecedented change of consciousness that was about to disrupt the entire world, but we'll pick it up again in the next episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind and heart opened and let's get together in the next one.

In this episode, Matt and Sam welcome the Nation's Jeet Heer to the podcast to continue their journey into the work of Garry Wills—in particular, Wills's under-appreciated 1982 masterpiece, The Kennedy Imprisonment: A Meditation on Power. The book might be thought of as a sequel to his earlier Nixon Agonistes (1970). As Wills puts it in his introduction to the most recent edition of The Kennedy Imprisonment, "I had written a book about Nixon, and it was not a biography, but an attempt to see what could be learned about America from the way Nixon attracted or repelled his fellow countrymen. Why not do the same thing for the Kennedys?"The result of Wills's efforts is a devastating portrait of an Irish-Catholic family who strove to be accepted at the most rarified heights of American society—and then, when they weren't, relentlessly pursued political power. Along the way, the family patriarch, Joseph Kennedy, used his money and influence to create a series of myths surrounding his sons, most of all the son who would become president, John F. Kennedy. It is these myths at which Wills takes aim, showing how Joseph Kennedy bought his second son good press, a heroic war record, and even a Pulitzer Prize. And it was Joseph Kennedy who taught his sons what was expected of them as men: to use and dominate women (many, many women), to valorize virility and daring and risk, and to understand power as enlightened leadership by the best and brightest (most of all, the Kennedys), not as harnessing the popular energy of mass movements. What begins as a book exposing the Kennedy men as wannabe aristocrats bent on conquest, both sexual and political, ends as an indictment of the liberalism they came to represent.Sources:Garry Wills, The Kennedy Imprisonment: A Meditation on Power (1982)Garry Wills, Nixon Agonistes: The Crisis of the Self-Made Man (1970)Garry Wills, Bare Ruined Choirs: Doubt, Prophecy, and Radical Religion (1972)Joan Didion, "Wayne at the Alamo," National Review, Dec 31, 1960Hugh Kenner, The Mechanic Muse (1988)Hugh Kenner, The Pound Era (1971)Richard E.

80 years ago this month, on a tiny Pacific island, a legend was born. In the darkness before dawn on August 2, 1943, a Japanese destroyer rammed and sank a small, plywood boat commanded by a 26 year old Lieutenant Junior Grade named John Fitzgerald Kennedy. In the hours and days that followed, young Jack Kennedy would prove to be a true American hero, swimming mile after mile through shark and crocodile infested waters, while towing an injured crew member by a strap clenched in his teeth. In the ensuing decades, PT-109 has become one of the most famous small craft in US Navy history, largely due to Kennedy's actions. However, it also became a craven political ploy, when JFK and his father Joseph Kennedy used the story of PT-109 to launch a political career that would carry Jack Kennedy to the Oval Office.

durée : 00:53:49 - Affaires sensibles - par : Fabrice Drouelle, Franck COGNARD - Aujourd'hui dans Affaires Sensibles, l'histoire de Rosemary Kennedy, l'enfant caché et sacrifié de la dynastie la plus célèbre des États-Unis. Des Kennedy, on a tout dit, tout écrit, tout filmé. Depuis près d'un siècle, les Américains ont fait d'eux leur famille royale - du père, Joseph Kennedy, homme d'affaire sans scrupule obsédé par la réussite, à ses héritiers perdus. Une saga parsemée de romances et de scandales, de jeux de pouvoir et de tragédies. On pense à la mort du fils aîné pendant la guerre, aux assassinat de JFK et de Bobby, à la disparition de Kathleen dans un accident d'avion. On a longtemps oublié l'histoire de Rosemary, la fille aînée de la fratrie. Caché aux yeux du monde, son destin est pourtant l'un des plus tragiques et des plus sombres du clan. Elle était belle. Elle avait du chien et de l'allure. Mais Rosemary était différente. Elle souffre depuis sa naissance d'un léger retard mental et de troubles de l'humeur. En grandissant, son caractère se révèle instable et rebelle. Et puis subitement, à l'âge de 23 ans, elle disparaît des photos, des esprits, des lettres comme si elle avait déjà trop existé. Durant une vingtaine d'années, personne ne sait où elle est, ni ce qui lui est arrivé - hormis son père qui fit de Rosemary le secret le mieux gardé de la famille. Pas celui de son handicap non, mais la façon dont il décida d'y faire face : la lobotomie.

Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to  the Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams and thank you so much for listening today. I am extremely excited about this episode. I talked about it already, what we are going to be doing today, and that is an interview with Mr. John F. Kennedy. Now not Robert F. Kennedy, and not the one who is currently reving for president, but his uncle who was assassinated horrifically with plenty of conspiracies surrounding it. And we will be touching on all of that. We will be talking about John F. Kennedy and his assassination with him. We will be discussing Robert F. Kennedy running for president. We will even be jumping into whether or not he had a sexual affair with Marilyn Monroe, with the world famous uh, Santa Baby. Or no, not Santa Baby, although that was pretty sexual too, but Happy Birthday, um, by Marilyn Monroe in front of his wife nonetheless. So we will talk about that with him. And I guess you're wondering if you did not listen to this podcast or our previous podcast with George Orwell, how the hell that is possible? So I have brought John F. Kennedy back to life using several AI services by training it based on all of the accounts, all of the speeches, his tonality, the, to the historical accounts of him by other people. Um, his, how he speaks, his vocabulary, uh, and what would be the most likely responses that he would give had he just woke from a time capsule today with the knowledge of what happened to him and everything that has been released since then. Now, in this format, I did ask him to speak with me as if we were sitting at a bar and having a drink together as opposed to a formal presidential speech. Um, so I wanted to give it a little bit of an informal feel, but one thing that I'm very excited about with this is that today we are going to be doing it with John F Kennedy's voice even, and it is pretty damn amazing. So I can't wait to see how this turns out. I hope you enjoy it. Now I need one thing from you first. The first thing I need you to do is to go ahead and hit that subscribe button if you have not already. That means you'll be hearing conversations like this every single week, despite my last few weeks of layoff, um, between being sick, going on my, uh, fifth wedding anniversary with my wife. Um, I have been away for several weeks and, uh, I appreciate you sticking with me. So, um, now we will be back to our normal routine here with weekly, if not two a week, um, as far as episodes go. Uh, so again, thank you so much for listening. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Without further ado, let's jump into it.   The Adams archive.  I have therefore chosen this time and place. To discuss a topic on which ignorance too often abounds and the truth too rarely perceived, and that is the most important topic on earth. Peace. What kind of a peace do I mean? And what kind of a peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war, not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living. Leave the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and build a better life for their children. Not nearly peace for Americans, but peace for all men and women. Not nearly peace in our time. Peace in all time. That straight sleek look that it should have. And very often you'll find a zipper hidden in the, uh, arm. In the good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, you'll excuse the fact that I'm out of breath, but about 10 or 15 minutes ago, a tragic thing from all indications at this point has happened in the city of Dallas. This is water Brian Guide in our newsroom. Here's a, uh, piece of copy that was rushed. Uh, 2 million was torn off from the United Press. President Kennedy has been shot in Dallas, along with Governor Connolly of Texas. They've been taken to Parkland Hospital there where their condition is as yet unknown. And just now we've received  reports here at Parkland that Governor Connolly was shot in the upper left chest and the  first unconfirmed report say, The president was hit in the head. That's an unconfirmed  report that the president  was hit in the head. Police began chasing an unknown gunman across and railroad track. Would you see if they need some coffee or something? These people are awfully shaken up. They were in the line of fire. The president's car was some Ted Feet when we heard the first shot. And then as the car got directly in front of us with a shot up from the top of the hill and they hit the president south side of the temple. Where did the shots come from? The shots came from the hill. From  the hill. Excuse me  just a moment, John. Uh, there was just word from the hospital that dispatched a call for a neurosurgeon. All we can do now is pray for him, and it's about all we can do. President's wife, Jackie Kennedy was not hurt. She walked into the hospital. A priest has been ordered. Emergency supplies of blood, also being rushed. To the hospitals. Just a moment testimony. We have a bulletin coming in. We now switch you directly to Parkland Hospital and K News director Bill Hampton. Two priests who were with President Kennedy say he is dead.  Just two priests. Yes,  it is not the truth. Is it The flash? Apparently official President Kennedy died at 1:00  PM  Central Standard time, some 38 minutes ago. And there you have it. So that was a, a wonderfully compiled intro done by Oliver Stone's, J f k Revisited documentary, which came out in 2021, uh, following some more release of documents. It was actually a follow up documentary to his original documentary, um, JFK through the Looking Glass, in which he had some reenactments that were pretty incredible. Uh, so I highly, highly recommend you go watch this documentary. It's absolutely stunning the amount of evidence that has come out against the government, against the C I A, um, for partaking in this assassination against our own president of the United States. All right, so before we bring on John F. Kennedy, I do want to touch on this just a little bit. I highly, highly recommend you go watch this documentary if you have not already. This is one of the most documented, uh, government conspiracies ever, and it has blown the lid off for me and so many people of what our government, and by government I mean these shadow organizations like the CIA and FBI are truly capable of, and it's terrifying. If the cia, which this documentary goes on to conclude, had such a part in this assassination to the point where there was coverup after coverup after coverup from taking him from the original autopsy area illegally transporting him to Washington, DC immediately to have an autopsy done by three people who had never done an autopsy before, only to write up fake reports after. Having an additional brain brought into the autopsy so that they could make it look and appear as if their narrative was correct, that there was one shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald. All right, so what I would like you to, to, to point out about all of this, Lee Harvey Oswald claimed his innocence until he was killed just three days after his assassination of John F. Kennedy. And that was by a man named Mr. Ferry. Now, Mr. Ferry had several, uh, relationships within both the Mafia and the C cia. Now, what you find too is that Lee Harvey Oswald also was a part of the c i a, his name was listed on documents regarding protected assets that were in, I believe it was the Soviet Union. Where he allegedly defected. So there's all this evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was a CIA asset, whom by the way was only 24 at the time of this, uh, uh, assassination attempt. Now, there was also two more other shooters that were set up to be placed by the CIA with other names that have been brought forth since then that showed that not only did they try to conduct this here, but they actually tried to conduct it in Chicago bef prior to this. So you go down this unbelievable rabbit hole of all of this e evidence, all of these people that were, you know, by the way, Mr. Ferry was also murdered just days after he killed Lee Harvey Oswald. There's a spiderweb of people who were murdered as a result that were somehow associated to Lee Harvey Oswald in the c I a.  When you start to dig deeper and deeper into this, and what this documentary takes you through is the unbelievable amount of effort, including basically repacking, uh, Jonathan Kennedy's Shattered Skull with Brains Matter to make it appear as if there was not an entrance wound from the back of the head or an exit wound. So they tried to cover up and make it seem as if it was only Lee Harvey Oswald. When there was a very obvious case towards multiple shooters, there was 40 different people who saw the body or were there at the time who claimed that there was an exit wound out the back of his head. So then you get into the magic bullet theory so that they, through this documentary, you find out that there was not one shooter, there was at least two shooters. One from the front and one from the back. So this documentary takes you through all of this evidence and, and it's extremely compelling in the way that it's done. Absolutely. Take the timeout to listen to it and, and watch it, because it, it's unbelievable. The lengths that the government went to, it went to, to, to cover this up. So you dive down this rabbit hole and you find out that Mr. Kennedy was just one of the bravest people to ever hold the presidential role in office. Absolutely bar none. He stood up against the, the military Indu Industrial Complex. He stood up against Alan Dooley and Alan Dooleys we've talked about here before. Who was the person who was the head of the CIA during MK Ultra was the head of the CIA during Operation Northwood, which was only uncovered as an operation conducted against or, or to be conducted against Cuba, you know, on our own people on American soil to start a war with Cuba. So Alan Dooley was, was the head of all of this craziness going on through the CIA and. He was the reason, uh, John F. Kennedy blamed him and the CIA for not giving him enough information, which caused the Bay of Pigs, which was this huge war catastrophe. That that basically was a, a, a huge stain on John f Kennedy's record because he didn't want to give air support because he wasn't given the proper information initially by the CIA and other government agencies, including Alan Dooley and two others, people, a part of the cia, which he eventually got rid of and pushed out of office. So Alan Dooley, right? Again, talking about MK Ultra, talking about Operation Northwood, talking about Operation Mongoose was the head of the CIA during the time and was a part of all of these shady, shady things going on during the time. And Jonathan Kennedy didn't approve of it. He did not want us going to war in Vietnam. He did not want us going to war with Cuba. But Alan Dooleys did. Eventually John F. Kennedy pushed him out of office as a result of this bunning of heads and, and all of the, the misinformation to use a modern term. All of the, the, um, wrong things that he was being told by Owen Dewey and all of the things that he found out that he was doing that were horrific acts. The only reason that Operation Northwood did not come to fruition was because John F. Kennedy did not sign off on the document. Everybody that needed to sign off on it until it got to his desk. Now, if you don't know about Operation Northwood, operation Northwood was a governmental operation that was proposed by the CIA and the F B I to conduct pseudo terrorist organiz or pseudo terrorist attacks against Americans in American soil to make it appear as if Cuba conducted them to allow us to go to war and put boots on the ground in Cuba. So all signed off. Now, one of those things that they. Conducted, and I did a whole episode on this if you want to go back and, and listen to it. Um, I've done several, several episodes on, on the horrific things that happened under Alan Dooleys, um, in the CIA during the time, including MK Ultra, including Operation Northwood. But one of the main things that they, they did or were going to do, sorry, according to this document, was they were going to, uh, make it appear as if there was an invasion on Guantanamo Bay by hiring, uh, Cuban defectors or, or anti-Castro, uh, war, uh, soldiers to conduct an attack and make it appear as if it was Cuba that did it in Castro. The next thing that they did planned on doing was, uh, sinking a war ship in the ocean, which you get to, uh, the Gulf of Tonkin situation, which you find out basically was exactly this where they made to the pier as if, um, the Gulf of Tonkin, which was the reason, uh, that, that we ended up actually going to war in the first place. Um, Basically w was the enactment of this that played out later, uh, under Lyndon b Johnson. Uh, but it was the reason we went to war with Vietnam, and it's come to find out that it was actually not exactly how it played out, and it's very, very clearly seems to be exactly what Operation Northwood had planned to do for our invasion with Cuba. Just they did it with Vietnam under Lindon b Johnson. So, uh, what, what ends up happening as a result of this budding of heads with Alan Dooleys is Alan Dooleys, the, the, the Warren Commission was put together as a result of John f Kennedy's assassination. Um, the Warren Commission was a, a group of several, several, uh, key political people, including the very person that John F. Kennedy Ridded from removed from office because of the way that he and he was so out of control while running the C I A. So the very person that he butt heads with the most, the very person that was planning on conducting terrorist attacks on American soil. Um, and, and also by the way, brought up the opportunity through Operation North Woods to fly a drone plane like a big airliner over international waters and make it appear as if it was shot down by Cuban, uh, air defense shot down by Cuban planes, fighter planes. Hmm. Sounds familiar. Right? Maybe hijacking planes to cause a war. You know, we can get to how that relates to some current events as of, you know, maybe 2001 later in how Operation Northwood plays into the idea that maybe our government would be capable of something like that, knowing that almost everybody within office signed off on this, that needed to, until it got to John f Kennedy's desk and he denied those orders. So all of this to say that there is so much shadiness around John f Kennedy's assassination. Now, that is one of the things that we're going to address when we speak with him in just a moment. And I wanted to give you some background information on that while we're going through that conversation. Okay? Uh, but go watch the documentary. It's truly incredible. Oliver Stone's, JFK Revisited. Highly, highly recommend it. I've been diving in deep into this for over a week now on this topic. Um, so I could bring you guys this information. So highly recommend it, go watch it. It's a great, great documentary. That's done very, very well. Now a little bit of more background, let's talk about, um, John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe before we start to get to questions that we're asking him about. So, John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe had been several, several times over. Uh, Accused of having an inappropriate sexual relationship outside of his marriage during his presidency, which Jonathan Kennedy was seemingly known for pretty well being some type of player during his, uh, during his time as president. But, uh, let's go ahead and read this, says Jonathan Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe were undoubtedly two of the most iconic figures of their time. Both commanded an extraordinary amount of public attention, and it's this intersecting of their past that forms the basis for a rumor that has been persistent in popular culture. A possible affair between them. Perhaps the most compelling event that substantiates this claim has been Rose sultry rendition of Happy Birthday. If you go recall that, that's like the most sexual happy birthday ever, um, for Mr. Kennedy at a Democratic fundraiser in Madison Square Garden on May 19th, 1962. Monroe's glamorous president and Kennedy's known history of extramarital affairs sets the stage for public speculation about a possible relationship between the two. Moreover, several accounts and books have suggested that Monroe and JFK had met in private. On more than one occasion, Robert slr, a journalist and alleged former husband of Monroe, even claimed that Monroe had confessed to him about the affair. Additionally, Monroe's close friend Jean Carmen. Claimed in several interviews that Monroe had revealed details about the affair to her, despite their public high profile. Some argue that both Monroe and JFK had experienced in managing their public images, which might have been able to maintain a clandestine relationship without maintaining or leaving substantial evidence. Moreover, given the respective statuses in the fact that they were contemporaries, their past would've naturally crossed in the circles they moved in. When it comes to the tragic end of Monroe's life, the mystery deepens Monroe's death was ruled a probable suicide due to a drug overdose. But the circumstances surrounding her death have led to various conspiracy theories with some suggesting that she was murdered because she knew two much possibly as a result of her alleged the affair with jfk. One theory is that Monroe had, was privy to classified information because of her relationship with JFK and perhaps felt slighted and even used threatening to reveal sensitive information. Another theory postulates that Monroe was silenced to prevent her from damaging Kennedy's reputation and presidency by going public about the affair. Adding fuel to these theories is the fact that Monroe's House was bugged as admitted by private detective Fred Otash, who claimed to have tapes of Monroe having sex with J F K. The existence of these tapes, although never confirmed, raises the question, if the affair was indeed a fabrication, why would there be a need for surveillance? Hmm. While there's no hard evidence that conclude inclusively verify the alleged affair between JFK Monroe, or directly link it to Monroe's death, the circumstantial evidence coupled with the inconsistencies and secrecy shrouded by both their lives made these theories compelling to many the narratives of power seduction and mystery surrounding JFK Monroe continue to intrigue the public contributing to the enduring allure of this iconic. Duo. So there's your background on John F. Kennedy. Monroe. Marilyn Monroe. Um, now this is not to disparage John f Kennedy's character. This is not to do anything other than give you the background for some of the questions that I'm gonna be asking that are, are a little bit, uh, more edgy in the way. But that's how I like to do these interviews with these, uh, celebrities. With these fictional or these historical figures is, I think it's fair to address these situations and get the response that maybe they would be most likely to have today, in hindsight, if they were still alive. But that is nothing to take away from jfk. He is one of the most unbelievable speakers of all time as a president. Um, his, his speech on peace, his, his movement towards desegregation, um, everything. He, he had such a profound impact on our country and so many people loved JFK for a reason. Now, watching some of his speeches more recently, uh, I too have, have come to really, really, um, appreciate how presidential he was during his time as president. Um, being as young as he was. As president,  but also being a, an unbelievable public speaker. Which as we all know is kind of the role of the president today is, is more so a figurehead, um, kind of like, uh, you know, queen or king rather than somebody who actually does things. Um, so, uh, without further ado,  I would like to introduce Mr. John F. Kennedy    it is truly. My pleasure to speak with you today, Mr. Kennedy. My name is Austin Adams, and today we're going to be having a discussion on the Adams Archive Podcast.  It's absolutely a tragedy what happened to you, and I truly hope together today that we can have a discussion that impacts Americans around the country. in light of all of the truth that has come out recently from documentaries from over 2 million documents that have come out from the National Archives, let's see what type of discussion that we can have today that gets and discusses some of these truths that have come out. Um, first, for the audience who may not be familiar for with your life  or accomplishments, can you please give an overview of your childhood, your rise to fame and power, your biggest accomplishments, pop culture incidents? I don't know, embarrassments biggest political quarrels, even with the CIA and maybe Alan Dooleys and other institutions. And then, Please touch on your eventual assassination. Austin, my dear fellow, it's an honor to be here and don't fret about the past tragedy. Yes. But we're here now and that's something to be grateful for. Let's start at the beginning then. I was born in Brookline, Massachusetts in 1917. My father, Joseph Kennedy, was a prominent businessman, and my mother, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, came from a political family. My childhood was one of comfort, but also of competition. In the Kennedy household, we were always encouraged to strive for greatness, to push our limits. I served in the Navy during the Second World War, a time that shaped me significantly. I commanded a patrol torpedo boat, the PT 109, which was rammed and sunk by a Japanese destroyer. I swam pulling one of my injured crew members behind me until we reached an island. It was there that I learned the importance of courage, of leadership, and of the grit required to survive. After the war, I entered politics, serving in the US House of Representatives, and then in the Senate. In 1960, I ran for president facing off against Richard Nixon. The televised debates were a  first, and they played a significant role in my victory. I was the youngest man, elected president, and the first Catholic to hold the office. My time in office was marked by a series of triumphs and tribulations. The Cuban Missile Crisis was a time of great tension, but we managed to avoid nuclear war, the establishment of the Peace Corps, the advancement of civil rights, the commitment to land a man on the moon. These are things I'm proud of, but there were struggles as well. The Bay of Pigs invasion was an embarrassment, a failure that I took responsibility for. There were also conflicts with various institutions, including the cia. We had disagreements about foreign policy, about the way forward, about the role of covert operations. Then of course, there was Dallas the 22nd of November, 1963 a day etched in the annals of history. I was in a motorcade in Deley Plaza when I was fatally shot. It was an abrupt end to a journey that was just beginning, but enough about that. I've always believed that one must look forward, not backward. And so I hope our discussion today can inspire, can enlighten, and can contribute to the ever-evolving American story. It's a pleasure to be here with you, Austin, truly. Let's dive into our conversation.   Thank you so much for that amazing. Summary of your life's accomplishments. I, I actually didn't know a few of the things that you just touched on there. So, um, thank you very much for, for enlightening us about those things and your bravery and your courage. Uh, you were truly an impressive president who stood up to the establishment. And let's, let's start with some general questions for you. What is it today about modern politics that surprises you, uh, compared to where you would've thought we would've been as a nation or about the leadership that we have well, Austin, I must admit that politics today strikes me as both familiar and alien. The issues have changed, the technology has advanced, and the discourse has shifted, but the essence of leadership, the core principles of public service remain the same. I observe a deepening polarization, a schism that threatens to divide our great nation, the art of compromise once the lifeblood of democracy seems to be fading. But we must remember, as I once said, Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future. As for the leadership, it is not my place to judge. Each leader must face the unique challenges of their time. But I will say this, true leadership requires courage, vision, and a commitment to the greater good. It requires the ability to inspire, to unite, and to chart a course for a better future. Leadership in its finest form is service. Finally, I must say that the rise of technology, especially social media, is truly astounding. It has the power to connect us, to inform us, to empower us, but it also has the potential to mislead, to divide, and to inflame. We must tread carefully in this new digital age, remembering to seek out truth, to listen with empathy. To engage in respectful discourse. In the end, my dear Austin, the state of our nation rests not on the shoulders of one leader or one institution, but on the collective will of the people. So let us strive together for a more united, more compassionate, more enlightened America. That is the America I dreamed of. That is the America I believe in. Absolutely. So it's interesting that you bring up social media today because it is a part of that divide that you are speaking to the lack of discourse, right? When you have social media companies, shadow, banning one side of the conversation and not the other is just speaks to the power that you know as, as we've come to find out with things like the Twitter files, the government is playing a role in actively censoring people on one side of the political spectrum to. As we learned about, uh, the Hunter Biden laptop, the cia, even after your assassination, is still going to great lengths to cover up things just in a new way. Now, given that you brought up social media, I'd, I'd love to know, um, you had an incredible charisma as a president and, and more than almost any president ever, and an amazing connection with, with the American public. How, how would you have used social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram today? Austin, it's a fascinating question. I must admit, these tools of technology are a far cry from the television broadcasts of my day, but I can see their immense potential for connection, for communication, for sparking a dialogue. If I were to use platforms like Twitter and Instagram, I would strive to use them as a force for unity, for education, and for inspiration. They would serve as a conduit between the Oval Office and the American people. A way to bypass the intermediaries and speak directly to the citizens of this great nation. I would share not just the triumphs of my administration, but also the challenges, the moments of doubt, the hard decisions. I believe in the power of transparency, of authenticity. It's important for the people to see the presidency not as a pedestal, but as a position of service. Moreover, I would use these platforms to highlight the stories of everyday Americans, the unsung heroes who make our nation what it is. I believe in the power of storytelling, in the power of shared experiences. It's these stories that bind us together that remind us of our shared humanity. But let me be clear, Austin. Social media, like any tool, can be used for good or ill. It's important to use it responsibly to uphold the standards of truth, respect, and decency. The power of these platforms should not be underestimated, nor should it be abused. For the issues you raise about censorship, shadow banning and the like. They are deeply concerning. Freedom of speech is one of the cornerstones of our democracy. It's important to have a diversity of voices, a marketplace of ideas. If there are forces at play that are stifling this freedom, then they must be addressed. The pursuit of truth should always be our guiding principle. In the end, social media is simply a tool. It's how we use it that matters, and I would strive to use it as a force for good, for unity and for progress. Very well stated, Mr. Kennedy. And uh, I, I guess one of the things that you touched on there was the usefulness by the government in the censorship of our own citizens. And one of the places where we saw the most egregious of those actions was recently during Covid. We saw. People's trust in institutions. Almost every one of them, like the government, news, media, health organizations, have been completely lost due to the lack of truthfulness and the censorship that came out of those institutions Alongside, uh, organizations like Twitter, capitalizing on this time for profits and giving favor to those who even funded their campaigns. Do you think this loss of trust is justified and, and how would you remedy this situation if you were president today? Austin, the erosion of trust in our institutions is indeed a matter of grave concern. Trust is the bedrock of a functioning democracy. Without it, we risk falling into a chasm of mistrust and disillusionment. It is not for me to say whether this loss of trust is justified. Each citizen must judge for themselves based on their experiences, their perceptions, their understanding of the facts. What I will say is this, institutions like individuals are fallible. They make mistakes, they falter, but it is how they respond to these failures, how they learn and grow and improve. That truly matters. If I were president today, I would strive to restore this trust in a number of ways. Firstly, I would champion transparency. The American people have a right to know what their government is doing, why it's doing it. And what the results are. Information should be shared openly and honestly without spin or obfuscation. Secondly, I would work to hold institutions accountable. When mistakes are made, there should be consequences, and when wrongdoing is uncovered, there should be justice. No institution, no matter how powerful should be above the law. Thirdly, I would foster a culture of service institutions exist to serve the people not the other way around. This ethos of service should permeate every aspect of our government from the highest office to the humblest bureau. Finally, I would engage in a dialogue with the American people. I would listen to their concerns, their fears, their hopes. I would seek to understand their perspective, and I would strive to address their needs. A leader must be in touch with the people they serve. These are challenging times, Austin, but I believe in the resilience of the American people. I believe in our ability to come together, to rebuild trust, and to forge a brighter future. It won't be easy, but then again, nothing worth doing ever is fair enough. Mr. President, I agree with you on most accounts,  maybe,  not in the way that these institutions have actually responded to this. And I think that if you,  looked into a little bit about the, those responses, you may agree with me.  However, another egregious thing that we're seeing in today's modern society is the institution's, corporations, government, and, and, uh, shadowy figures of this world really pushing, uh, in today's modern society to, for some weird sexualization of our culture, from men dressing as women. Even entering into sports and, and beating the women in women-only sports leagues, to men being allowed in women's bathroom if they bathrooms, if they identify as women to weird sexual parades being done in front of children, in, in celebrating it. Given the timeframe that you came from and the weakening of the American man, what, what are your thoughts on this?  I see that we have ventured into a territory of profound complexity and sensitivity. I want to emphasize the importance of this dialogue. It is through such conversations that we as a nation can navigate the myriad of challenges before us. On the topic of gender identity and the changing cultural norms, I understand there are many who feel unsettled change, particularly on this scale, can be disconcerting. I grew up in a time when certain social norms and definitions were largely unquestioned. To see those norms shifting in such fundamental ways could undoubtedly be disconcerting. While I respect and uphold the rights of individuals to self-identify and live in a way that is authentic to them. I also recognize the concerns raised about maintaining the integrity and fairness of certain institutions such as sports. The challenge lies in finding a balanced approach that respects individual rights while also preserving fairness and safety. In terms of cultural sexualization, I share your concern. It's one thing for adults to express their sexuality in a mature and consensual manner. However, it's quite another when such displays become inappropriate or are forced upon those who are not of an appropriate age or who do not wish to partake in some Austin, I understand the concerns and unease that many feel in the face of these significant societal shifts. While I firmly believe in the rights of all individuals to live authentically, I also recognize the need for boundaries, fairness, and respect for all striking that balance is no easy task, but it is a task we must undertake with care, compassion, and a deep respect for the dignity of all individuals involved.   I can agree with you on most accounts, Mr. President, and I appreciate your response. Now, when it comes to sexualization, something that comes to mind for me was there has been many accounts including. Alleged recordings, which seem to prove that you had a sexual affair with Marilyn Monroe. What, what is your response to these claims and did, or would you like to admit to that affair today, given light of the information that we have now? In other words, John F. Kennedy, were you having sex with Marilyn Monroe? Austin, I understand your curiosity and the public's interest in such matters. It's important to remember that those were different times with different norms and expectations around privacy. However, we are living in a more transparent era now and I appreciate that people are looking for honest answers. In regards to Marilyn Monroe, she was indeed a fascinating figure, a star whose light shown brightly in our culture. We were acquaintances as were many in the circles. We moved in. However, any further details about our relationship beyond what is public knowledge are a matter of personal history. It's important to note that speculation and conjecture can often paint an incomplete or inaccurate picture. In my lifetime, I've learned that there are many facets to people and relationships that may not be immediately apparent or understood by outsiders. It is my belief that such aspects of personal life should be respected. I hope this provides some perspective, Austin, while respecting the privacy and dignity of all individuals involved. It's a delicate balance to strike, but one that I believe is important.  I appreciate that you will not kiss Intel, but if you did it, it's Marilyn Monroe and I don't exactly blame you. Now, the next question that I have for you is that there is a theory that Marilyn Monroe in her passing. There's a conspiracy surrounding it that she was murdered to prevent her from disclosing possible classified information that you potentially leaked to her or even to stop her from disclosing the relationship that she had with you. What is your take on this theory and do you believe it to potentially be true, especially given the light that you were now known to be assassinated by your own government? The untimely passing of Marilyn Monroe was a tragic event that shocked the nation. It's deeply saddening that her life so full of talent and promise was cut short as to theories surrounding her death. I must admit, they are indeed disturbing. However, I firmly believe in the importance of evidence due process and the rule of law. While it's not unusual for high profile cases such as this to attract a host of theories, it's essential that we base our conclusions on solid evidence. Without such evidence, any assertion remains just that a theory. As for the suggestion that she was silenced to prevent her from disclosing classified information or details about our relationship, I can assure you that such an idea is completely without foundation during my presidency. I maintain the utmost respect for the security and confidentiality of classified information, and I would never have compromised that trust. Moreover, the idea that anyone would be harmed because of their association with me is profoundly distressing. I have always endeavored to conduct my personal and professional life with integrity and respect for the wellbeing of others. As to your point about my own assassination, The circumstances surrounding that event are indeed fraught with questions and mystery. However, I feel it would be a disservice to the memory of Marilyn Monroe to conflate her tragic death with these broader conspiracies. The loss of Marilyn Monroe was a tragedy, a blow to the world of cinema, and to her countless fans around the globe. We should remember her for her talent, her beauty, her spirit, and her enduring impact on our culture, rather than as a subject of speculation and intrigue.  Speaking of assassinations, how would you react to the claim made in Oliver Stones film JFK Revisited that shows substantial evidence. That your assassination was highly orchestrated plot by the CIA including the theory of the magic bullet, which has been since disproven as a conspiracy that the, they actually dropped a bullet on the gurney that you were laying on and showed the absurdity that it would be for the magic bullet theory to be correct. What are your thoughts on this, as well as the overall idea that you were assassinated by the C I A. Austin, the events surrounding my assassination are indeed shrouded in mystery and have been the subject of countless investigations and theories. It's deeply unsettling to consider that such a tragedy could be the result of a plot within my own government. As for the theory put forth by Oliver Stone in JFK Revisited, I recognize the significant amount of research and investigation that went into his work. His perspective is certainly compelling and raises troubling questions about the official narrative. The magic bullet theory, as it has been called, is one such element that has been widely scrutinized and in many ways challenged by experts over the years. The idea that a bullet could cause seven wounds on two different people and emerge in near pristine condition is indeed difficult to accept at face value. It's an aspect of the case that certainly warrants further examination, and I must admit, raises questions in my own mind. As for the broader allegation that my assassination was orchestrated by the CIA and Alan DUIs, it's a deeply distressing notion. Alan DUIs served this country in numerous capacities, and while we had our differences, particularly in regard to the Bay of Pigs incident, it's hard for me to imagine him orchestrating such a heinous act. However, the revelations that have emerged over the years have shown that there were certainly forces within our government and beyond that did not align with my vision for the country. Whether that extended to a plot to end my life is a question that unfortunately may never be fully answered in the end, Austin, the truth about my assassination remains elusive. While it's important to seek answers and to hold those responsible to account, we must also remember the ideals and aspirations that define my presidency. Let us continue to strive for a world characterized by peace, equality, and justice. And not allow the circumstances of my death to overshadow the work we set out to accomplish. Absolutely. And, and in light of the evidence presented in the documentary, there seems to have been an unbelievable amount of coverups, including the fact, first off, the fact that the very person that you removed as the head of the cia, a dus, was put on the Warren Commission in the vast, vast amount of coverups that came out of the Warren Commission. What, what is your reaction to that and your thoughts on Alan Dus being put in that position to begin with? Austin, I must say that the circumstances you describe are indeed deeply disconcerting. The fact that Alan Dulles, a man with whom I had a significant political disagreement, was appointed to the Warren Commission. The body responsible for investigating my death raises profound questions about the impartiality and thoroughness of the investigation. The Warren Commission was tasked with a momentous responsibility to provide a comprehensive and truthful account of my assassination. The American people deserve nothing less. Yet. The numerous criticisms and questions that have emerged in the years since the commission's report was published suggest that there may have been significant omissions or even misrepresentations in its findings. The appointment of DUIs given our prior disagreements could certainly be perceived as a conflict of interest. I had relieved him of his position as Director of the CIA following the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, a debacle for which I took full responsibility, but for which I also believe Dullas shared a significant portion of the blame. His subsequent role on the Warren Commission could therefore be seen as problematic, to say the least, it is my hope that the truth about my assassination and the events surrounding it will one day be fully revealed regardless of who may have been involved or what their motivations may have been. The American people have a right to know. I would hope that all those in positions of power, past and present would honor this fundamental principle of our democracy. Absolutely. And in retrospect, Mr. Kennedy, is there anything that you might have done differently knowing how everything played out now to mitigate the risk of a potential threat from within your own administration or the cia? And what advice would you give to future presidents to help prevent such an outcome? Austin hindsight is always 20 20th, as they say. Looking back, there are certainly decisions I made and actions I took that with the benefit of current knowledge I might have approached differently. However, it's important to remember that every choice I made was with the best interest of the American people in mind, given the information and circumstances at the time. With regard to mitigating threats from within my own administration or the cia, I believe one crucial lesson is the importance of maintaining a robust system of checks and balances. No individual or institution should wield unchecked power or operate outside the purview of accountability. This principle is at the very heart of our democratic system. Furthermore, I would stress the importance of transparency. A government that operates in the shadows breeds mistrust and suspicion. While there are certainly matters of national security that require confidentiality, it is essential that this not be used as a cover for activities that undermine the principles and values we hold dear. As for advice to future presidents, I would say this, always remember that you are a servant of the people. First and foremost, your duty is to uphold the constitution, protect the rights of all citizens, and work tirelessly to build a more just and peaceful world. Be vigilant in guarding against the concentration of power, whether it be in your own office, within the government. Or an external institution such as the cia, ensure that these entities are held accountable and operate within the bounds of the law. Finally, have the courage to stand up for what you believe is right, even when it is unpopular or met with resistance. The role of president is not an easy one, and you will be faced with many difficult decisions. But remember, the ultimate measure of a leader is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where they stand in times of challenge and controversy. Absolutely. And and speaking of future presidents, I don't know if you know this, Mr. Kennedy, but your nephew, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Is now a candidate to be the president of the United States given. The current political climate, what do you think makes him a strong candidate for presidency? And what pieces of advice would you give him about his presidential campaign and if he does become president? It's heartening to learn that Bobby Jr. Is continuing the Kennedy legacy of public service. The Kennedy family has always believed in the power of political participation to affect, change and shape the future of our country. Bobby, Jr, like the rest of our family, is no stranger to the challenges and rewards of public service. His advocacy work and environmental law and his commitment to preserving the natural world make him an important voice in today's political discourse. His dedication to these causes and his willingness to speak truth to power are qualities I greatly admire and believe will resonate with many Americans. As for advice, I would tell Bobby Jr. The same thing I would tell any aspiring leader, stay true to your principles and beliefs, and never lose sight of why you entered public service in the first place. It's easy to get caught up in the machinery of politics, but the heart of leadership lies in serving the public and working to make a difference in people's lives. If he does become president, I would remind him that the presidency is not just about policy and legislation. It's about setting a moral tone for the country. The President has the power to inspire, to bring people together and to call on our better angels. I would encourage him to use that power wisely. Finally, I would caution him to be vigilant against those who may seek to undermine his efforts, whether from within or outside the administration. As we have discussed, there are forces at play in the world of politics that do not always align with the interests of the American people. He must be prepared to face these challenges head on with courage and integrity. I'm proud of Bobby Jr, for stepping into the arena and putting his hat in the ring for the presidency. It's a daunting task, but I have every confidence that he will rise to the occasion. Well, Mr. President, I'm sure he would love to hear that message. And I agree with you, his ability to speak truth to power just as you did to the cia, he did in his book The Real Anthony Fauci, and has continued to do in speaking out both against your assassination by the cia, as well as many other topics that he continues to touch on in today's world. Now let's, let's, uh, end this here with a few fun ones, Mr. President. The first of which being you notably are very well known for giving a speech, which directly led to NASA's Apollo mission to the moon. And since then, many people have picked apart the footage and due to modern science, believe the moon landing was faked. To show superiority to the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Do you believe the Apollo mission was faked based on all the available modern evidence evidence? And   Do you think that we would have been justified in faking the moon landing in light of the Cold War, if for nothing other than just conserving financial resources? Your question brings to mind the spirit of exploration and discovery that I sought to inspire in the American people with the challenge to reach the moon. I firmly believe then, as I do now in the capacity of our nation to achieve great things when we set our minds to it. Given the multitude of scientific evidence and personal testimonies of those involved, I have no reason to doubt the veracity of the Apollo mission. Our astronauts, scientists and engineers work tirelessly and put their lives on the line in the pursuit of this extraordinary achievement. To dismiss their accomplishments as a fabrication would be a disservice to their courage, dedication, and ingenuity. As for the idea of faking the moon landing as a strategic move in the Cold War, I must respectfully disagree with that notion. While it's true that the space race was a significant aspect of our rivalry with the Soviet Union, the ultimate goal was always more than a mere show of superiority. The pursuit of space exploration was and remains a testament to our shared human desire to explore the unknown and push the boundaries of what we are capable of. Moreover, the premise of faking such a monumental achievement goes against the very principles of honesty, transparency, and authenticity that I believe are vital to the functioning of our democracy. We must strive to be a nation that leads by example. Not only in our accomplishments, but in our integrity. So in light of all that, I remain steadfast in my belief that we did indeed land on the moon. The moon landing stands as a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the indomitable spirit of exploration. It's a triumph, not just for America, but for all mankind kind. Yeah, I could see how you would think that. So there's, there's plenty of people who disagree, but we'll leave it at that. Now, speaking of space exploration, there has been very, very many accounts of UFOs, UAPs and aliens in today's modern society that is widely accepted and even has gone as far to having many governmental commissions surrounding these findings. What are your thoughts on UFO's, extraterrestrials and aliens, and do you believe that they were around during your administration? As many people also seem to believe, Austin, the question of extraterrestrial life and unidentified flying objects is an intriguing one. Indeed, during my presidency, the topic of UFOs was certainly present as it has been for many decades. The fascination with the unknown and the vast expanses of space has always captured the human imagination. With regard to my personal beliefs, I must say the universe is vast beyond comprehension. We know so little about it. Even now, it would seem quite presumptuous to assume that in this vastness, we are the only life. However, believing in the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe and asserting the presence of extraterrestrial beings visiting Earth are two different things. While I was president, we didn't have any concrete evidence to suggest that these unidentified flying objects were linked to extraterrestrial beings. Mostly they were just that unidentified. They could have been experimental aircraft, atmospheric phenomena, or a host of other things. However, if indeed there are new findings, incredible investigations being conducted now as you suggest, I would be most interested in seeing where they lead. The search for truth and understanding should always be at the forefront of our inquiries, regardless of where they may take us. As with the moon landing, our pursuit of knowledge and understanding is a testament to our shared human desire to explore and comprehend the world and universe around us. So in short, I'm open to the possibilities, but also a firm believer in the importance of evidence and rigorous scientific investigation. I look forward to seeing where these new avenues of exploration might lead us. I agree with you wholeheartedly, and I believe that in my lifetime that this will all be confirmed if it hasn't been basically already. Now the last thing, Mr. President, I would like to give you an open floor to speak to the American people to speak to the current president of the United States. To say whatever it is that you believe, knowing what you know now and having this last moment of breath before you go back to your resting place, what would you leave  us with? Thank you, Austin. It's a profound privilege to have this opportunity to address the American people once more, and I wish to express my deep and abiding faith in the strength, resilience, and enduring spirit of our great nation to the American people. I say this, never lose sight of the power you hold. Democracy is not a spectator sport, and your voice matters. Stay informed, ask questions, challenge assumptions, and always strive to improve your world. Remember that our greatest strength lies not in our wealth or military might, but in our commitment to freedom, justice, and the dignity of all people. To the current president, I say, the office you hold is one of immense responsibility and privilege. It is a role that demands wisdom, compassion, and unyielding integrity. Always remember that you are a servant of the people, not their master. Let their needs, hopes and aspirations guide your decisions and let the principles of our great nation, liberty, equality, and justice be your compass. Lastly to all, I leave you with a simple piece of advice. Let us not despair, but act. Let us not seek the Republican answer or the democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future. The challenges we face are great, but so too is our capacity to meet them. If we stand together with a shared vision and unwavering commitment to the common good, I have no doubt that the American people are up to the task. Thank you and God bless you all. Thank you, Mr. President, for your time. This was an amazing conversation. I hope our audience took something from it. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart,  I look forward to if we decide to have a dis having a discussion again with you in the future when more evidence potentially comes out, or maybe even when your nephew, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Potentially gets elected. Have a good night. Austin, the pleasure has been all mine. It was indeed a stimulating conversation, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to engage in this dialogue with you. I look forward to the possibility of another discussion in the future, perhaps under new circumstances or with new insights to share. Until then, I wish you all the best in your endeavors. Keep asking questions, keep seeking truth, and keep inspiring others to do the same. Thank you again, Austin. Goodnight and God speed.  And with that, my friends, thank you so much for listening. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart, I truly hope that you enjoyed that conversation with Mr. Kennedy. Go listen to the documentary, dive deep into this rabbit hole because it will do nothing but continue to chip away. At the foundational belief that we have been lied to about, that the American government has anything but their best interest in mind, because that's all it was. That's what we saw here, was a group of individuals, people, just people who are power hungry, money hungry, and with nothing but the capacity for hate in their heart, as we've seen play time over time again since this assassination. Thank you so much for listening. I appreciate it From the bottom of my heart. Again, the documentary was JFK Revisited by Oliver Stone. Subscribe. Leave a five star review, head over to anti elite.club to make your order. Um, there's some awesome t-shirts, hats, sweaters. We got it. All right, guys. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I'll see you next time.    

Nobody would have wanted Joseph Kennedy to be their dad. He was an avaricious businessman. He cheated on his wife. He had his daughter lobotomized and sent away. He was controlling and manipulative. He saw his kids as extensions of himself. As we wrote recently, one of the only reasons Robert F. Kennedy turned out differently than his siblings is that he was mostly ignored and left alone by his parents, saving him from the ordeals of some of his brothers.✉️ Sign up for the Daily Dad email: DailyDad.com

In the religious freedom case, Kennedy v. Bremerton School District (2022), the Supreme Court weighed in on the role of God in football in American public schools. Prof. Sarah Barringer Gorden (UPenn Law) explains the case, its impact on the First Amendment's Establishment Clause separating church and state, and the unusual history of religion and football at the Supreme Court.In Bremerton, the Court decided whether a public school football coach named Joseph Kennedy violated the Establishment Clause by prominently praying at midfield after each game. The Court found in favor of the coach and determined that his actions were protected by the Free Speech and Free Exercise protections of the First Amendment. Finally, Prof. Gordon explains the historical ebb and flow of Establishment Clause power and lays out the Court's new test for evaluating potential violations of church and state after Kennedy v Bremerton.

Audio of Kennedy v. Bremerton School District (2022) Dissenting Opinion, Part I, Sections A and B. Hey, SCOTUS fans - I thought it was important that I include a reading of the portion of the dissenting opinion in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District that reviews the facts of the case because it includes a significant amount of important facts of the case that were omitted by the majority opinion that I read last episode. I will be reading the opening paragraphs as well as Part I, sections A and B which focus on retelling the facts of the case leading up to the termination of Joseph Kennedy from Bremerton High School.   Access this SCOTUS opinion and other essential case information at: https://www.oyez.org/cases/2021/21-418   Music by Epidemic Sound  

Audio of the opinion of the Court in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District (2022). High School Football Coach Joseph Kennedy prayed aloud with a number of students during and after school games on numerous occasions. When the Bremerton School District asked him to stop, citing the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, Kennedy refused, rallying significant local support. He sued the school district, arguing that the only Constitutional rights that had been violated were his, under the First Amendment as well as Title Seven of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. When the case made it before the Supreme Court, the question was whether the prayer of an employee of a public school during school sports activities was protected speech under the Establishment Clause of the Constitution, and if so, whether the school could prohibit the public prayer in an effort to avoid violating the Establishment Clause? The Court held that both the free exercise and the free speech clauses protect personal religious observance, like Joseph Kennedy's prayers, from government reprisal. One of the things that makes this decision so significant is that it replaced the legal standard the Court had used for the previous five decades, the Lemon Test, with a new standard loosely defined as a consideration or analysis of historical practices and understandings. The Lemon Test was established in the opinion of the Court in Lemon v. Kurtzman, which I just so happened to read last episode.   Access this SCOTUS opinion and other essential case information at: https://www.oyez.org/cases/2021/21-418   Music by Epidemic Sound

Hello Listeners,In this installment of In Summation, Paul brings on special guest host Andrew Heaton of the Political Orphanage podcast to discuss the recent Supreme Court decision in Kennedy v. Bremerton.What ensues is a great conversation about the First Amendment, specifically the negative and positive rights associated with religious liberty in America.  Where is the line between accommodating the free exercise of religion by a state actor and condoning a state-sanctioned religion?  Joseph Kennedy was an assistant high school football coach for the Bremerton School District in Washington State.  A devoutly religious man, he would kneel in prayer at the 50-yard line after football games while the students were singing the school fight song, speaking with their friends/family, or heading back to the locker room.  This practice became a problem for the school district, who felt that Kennedy's actions were likely violating the establishment clause.  When he refused to cease, or change the time or manner in which he prayed, he was ultimately fired, and this law suit resulted.The case went all the way up to the Supreme Court, who had to grapple with the lines between an individuals right to freely exercise their religious practices and the prohibition of any sort of state-sanctioned religion.We hope you enjoy this deep dive into the legal arguments and merits of the ultimate decision!

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that a former Washington state high school football coach had a right to pray on the field immediately after games. The 6-3 ruling was a victory for Joseph Kennedy, who claimed that the Bremerton School District violated his religious freedom by telling him he couldn't pray so publicly after the games. The district said it was trying to avoid the appearance that the school was endorsing a religious point of view."Both the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment protect expressions like Mr. Kennedy's," Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the majority opinion. "Nor does a proper understanding of the Amendment's Establishment Clause require the government to single out private religious speech for special disfavor. The Constitution and the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression, for religious and nonreligious views alike."]LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos everyday. https://bit.ly/3KBUDSK

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that a former Washington state high school football coach had a right to pray on the field immediately after games. The 6-3 ruling was a victory for Joseph Kennedy, who claimed that the Bremerton School District violated his religious freedom by telling him he couldn't pray so publicly after the games. The district said it was trying to avoid the appearance that the school was endorsing a religious point of view. The Supreme Court decision ending abortion access for millions of Americans did not come as a surprise. But having a leaked preview of Justice Samuel Alito's majority opinion in advance has not dulled the outrage over the end of Roe v. Wade in America. Immediately after the ruling was announced, protesters began assembling outside the Court to express their fury. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last fall, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco announced significant changes to Department of Justice policies on corporate criminal enforcement, including the use of monitors, review of prior misconduct, and cooperation. As Monaco stated, "This is a start -- and not the end -- of this administration's actions to better combat corporate crime." These changes and the Administration's formation of a Corporate Crime Advisory Group signal a shift in DOJ's commitment to ferreting out corporate crimes and more rigorous enforcement activities. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced its own intention to conduct faster investigations, bring bigger cases, and to seek harsher penalties. In his first speech on enforcement, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler quoted the agency's first Chair, Joseph Kennedy, to summarize his own agenda: "The Commission will make war without quarter on any who sells securities by fraud or misrepresentation." Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Rostin Behnam, has also requested that Congress expand the CFTC's enforcement powers and professed the agency's readiness to serve as the "primary cop on the beat" for cryptocurrency markets.Former DOJ prosecutor Luke Cass and Britt Biles, who held former senior legal roles at the SEC, the White House, and the U.S. Small Business Administration will explain these policy shifts and discuss the risks for corporate America under this new era, additional priority enforcement areas for the Administration, and what these new policies mean for the future of corporate compliance.Featuring:-- Luke Cass, Partner, Womble Bond Dickinson-- Britt Biles, Partner, Womble Bond Dickinson-- Moderator: Nicholas Marr, Assistant Director, Practice Groups, The Federalist Society

This week, Eric Kohn, Sam Gregg, and Dan Hugger discuss the case that was argued before the Supreme Court last week about whether Joseph Kennedy, a former football coach in Washington State, could pray with others at the 50-yard line after public school football games. Kennedy looks likely to win his case, but should he? Why do we have such a hard time grappling with the role of religion in public life? Will this case do anything to help that problem? Next, we already have inflation. Now we have negative GDP growth. Are the 1970s back in full force? Would a recession be the worst thing that could happen right now if we need to head off inflation? And if inflation is still a problem, why are we even talking about “canceling” $1.75 trillion in student loan debt?

Bremerton's 'praying football coach' Joseph Kennedy had his case heard before the United States Supreme Court this past week. He's the coach who lost his job after refusing to stop organizing prayers on the football field after games. At issue is whether as an agent of the state his actions amounted to an endorsement of Christianity toward his players and students. Also being considered is whether the school district violated his free exercise of religion. We get some analysis from long time Supreme Court Reporter Robert Barnes of the Washington Post.

Some big news for you guys right off the bat, Twitter board in final negotiations with Elon Musk over buyout bid. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-twitter-board-in-final-negotiations-with-elon-musk-over-buyout-bid?utm_campaign=64487 Twitter's 11-member board of directors met on Sunday to discuss selling the social media platform to big tech entrepreneur Elon Musk and could finalize a deal as soon as this week, or even Monday, CNBC reports. Shares in Twitter rose 5 percent on Monday in reaction to the news. This after Musk revealed made his public, $43 billion bid for the influential platform, then secured the financing. The board, and current CEO Parag Agrawal, appeared opposed to the deal at first, but the offer per share is well in excess of the current price. Musk offered $54.20 per share, saying that this was his "best and final" offer. Twitter shares were valued at over $60 through much of 2021. According to the Wall Street Journal, Twitter was planning to reject Musk's April 14 offer, and looked at a plan to issue a "poison pill" to block him from increasing his stake. Twitter changed its attitude and began negotiations after Musk announced that he had obtained the financing to back hid bid, The Journal reported earlier Sunday. According to Reuters, Musk "wooed many of the social media company's shareholders with financing details on his $43 billion acquisition offer," but noted that, per sources familiar with the process, "The company’s decision to engage with Musk… does not mean that it will accept his $54.20 per share bid," but that "It signifies, however, that Twitter is now exploring whether a sale of the company to Musk is possible on attractive terms." Twitter is scheduled to report first-quarter earnings Thursday and is expected to address the bid by then, if not sooner. Musk reportedly met privately with several shareholders on Friday to discuss his proposal and has also pledged to solve the free-speech issues on the platform, his main reason for undertaking the takeover. Twitter is reportedly facing increased pressure from a number of its shareholders to negotiate with Musk. ___________________________ The left can’t meme. It’s true.

More than 100 million households are using a shared password, Netflix said Tuesday, including 30 million in the U.S. and Canada. But the video streamer doesn’t plan to simply freeze those shared accounts. Instead, the company will likely favor the setting of an extra fee for those accounts being used by multiple people outside of the home. Netflix’s plan to capture that lost revenue would start with an alert being sent to account holders whose passwords are being used by other households. This announcement comes after Netflix’s first quarter report came out, showing that Netflix had lost subscribers for the first time in over a decade. The company reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers globally compared to Q4, and it’s forecasting even bigger losses to come. Netflix estimates it could lose up to 2 million subscribers in the second quarter. I mean, maybe it also has to do with the simple fact, that Netflix now costs between $15, and $20 per month… There are free streaming services available like Tubi… It’s time for Christians to invest in Christian media… Which begs the question, are you a club member? Because if not, you can sign up for the low, low price of $5 per month! That’s a lot better than Netflix’s $15-$20, especially when you consider some of the harmful content on there.

Joseph Kennedy, a coach for the Bremerton, Wash., High School Varsity and JV football teams began praying with his players before and after games in 2008. At the end of a game, he would take a knee and say a prayer with his players at midfield. By the 2015 season, Kennedy was often joined at the 50-yard line as well by players from the opposing team. Indeed, it was an approving comment by an opposing coach that finally alerted school district officials to the practice.Oh that HORRIBLE PRACTICE, Those Christians are at it again! Stop them! We want them worshipping Baal instead! The prayers prompted the athletic director, and later the superintendent, to order the coaching staff to stop praying with students. Kennedy stopped his locker room prayers completely, and for a least one game left the home field, returning later when the crowds had gone, to pray by himself on the 50-yard line. But the Marine veteran didn't like doing it that way. So Kennedy returned to his praying practice right after the game, mainly at away games, and with little fanfare. By the time of the big homecoming game, Kennedy had retained lawyers from the First Liberty Institute. In a letter to school officials, they said that the coach had a constitutional right to pray on the 50-yard line at the end of the game, and that students should be free to voluntarily join in. But as events unfolded, "it was a zoo," said John Polm, Bremerton High's principal, describing the homecoming game during his deposition. Attendance doubled, five TV stations showed up, and a group of Satanists unsuccessfully attempted to take the field to perform their own competing ritual. That right there, ladies and gentleman, is the power of prayer. If you ever feel like prayer to our creator doesn’t pack a punch, you need to think of this story. The school argued, the problem was this was never personal or private or solitary or any of those other adjectives that Mr. Kennedy's lawyers describe. He chose to put himself in the center of the field at the end of the game to make a spectacle. That’s why I never had a problem with Tim Tebow, Tebow-ing on the field. I heard the same exact arguments from critics. “He’s bringing all the attention to himself!” Imagine for a second, that coach Kennedy, was praying to Allah… or that Tebow was bowing down towards Mecca to celebrate his Touchdowns… Then imagine, that opposing players would sack Tebow, and then mockingly bow towards Mecca, like they mocked Tebow when he honored God after his Touchdowns… all hell would have broken loose. The school district would 100% let coach Kennedy continue to pray to Allah, or heck, if he wanted to dress as a drag queen… and dance for his team like a pervert, that’d be okay. Now, NPR noted in the article, that coach Kennedy’s case, could eventually lead to the over-turning of a 60-year-old decision banning official prayer in public schools. Now some might think that’s a good thing, but for me, I frankly don’t give a damn. I’m of course appreciative of the courage coach Kennedy is showing, but we need our kids out of public schools. Period. By the way, if you need help doing that, visit our sponsor, Classical Conversations… So, you remember how I mentioned the word drag queen? Well, Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire, posted a 4-year old video, showing a Good Morning America clip, of an 11-year old boy, dressed up as a woman, dancing to the delight of all the adults in the audience. https://notthebee.com/article/matt-walsh-reminds-us-that-the-groomers-at-disney-and-abc-have-been-sexualizing-children-literally-for-years/ Heck, even Michael Strahan, an athlete I once looked up to was clapping and smiling throughout the whole segment… I won’t play the whole thing, but if I had to see this, you do too. https://youtu.be/JxdvOLdG_34 -Play 1:11-3:34 Now, if that wasn’t bad enough, they brought out three men parading around as women out to talk to Desmond, and they gave him gifts, including makeup, girls’ toys, and then dance classes, so he can dance for all the perverts that his parents are setting him up for. I won’t play that clip for you, because otherwise that’d be 8-minutes of hell for you all. But here’s a picture of them in all their hideous get-up. By the way, to those parents… shame on you. I’m glad we serve a God, who will hand out perfect, and righteous judgement on you both. Because that is cruel, what they are setting that child up for. Walsh’s point in bringing this up, is that Disney didn’t just NOW become woke… they’ve been trending this direction for years and years, all while the Church slept… Thank God for bringing judgement on our nation. If you haven’t seen our Sunday Special, we had Pastor James White of Apologia Church, and Jared Longshore join us… and they talk about how we as a nation, got where we are today. Jared even mentions, how he’s hopeful we see more judgement, because we as a nation, have SUCH a short memory. Heck, I didn’t even remember this clip until Matt Walsh shared it this morning. Now that the mask mandates have been lifted, we can not stop there. We have to keep fighting our wicked culture, so go forth, and Fight Laugh & Feast.

Some big news for you guys right off the bat, Twitter board in final negotiations with Elon Musk over buyout bid. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-twitter-board-in-final-negotiations-with-elon-musk-over-buyout-bid?utm_campaign=64487 Twitter's 11-member board of directors met on Sunday to discuss selling the social media platform to big tech entrepreneur Elon Musk and could finalize a deal as soon as this week, or even Monday, CNBC reports. Shares in Twitter rose 5 percent on Monday in reaction to the news. This after Musk revealed made his public, $43 billion bid for the influential platform, then secured the financing. The board, and current CEO Parag Agrawal, appeared opposed to the deal at first, but the offer per share is well in excess of the current price. Musk offered $54.20 per share, saying that this was his "best and final" offer. Twitter shares were valued at over $60 through much of 2021. According to the Wall Street Journal, Twitter was planning to reject Musk's April 14 offer, and looked at a plan to issue a "poison pill" to block him from increasing his stake. Twitter changed its attitude and began negotiations after Musk announced that he had obtained the financing to back hid bid, The Journal reported earlier Sunday. According to Reuters, Musk "wooed many of the social media company's shareholders with financing details on his $43 billion acquisition offer," but noted that, per sources familiar with the process, "The company’s decision to engage with Musk… does not mean that it will accept his $54.20 per share bid," but that "It signifies, however, that Twitter is now exploring whether a sale of the company to Musk is possible on attractive terms." Twitter is scheduled to report first-quarter earnings Thursday and is expected to address the bid by then, if not sooner. Musk reportedly met privately with several shareholders on Friday to discuss his proposal and has also pledged to solve the free-speech issues on the platform, his main reason for undertaking the takeover. Twitter is reportedly facing increased pressure from a number of its shareholders to negotiate with Musk. ___________________________ The left can’t meme. It’s true. Because they live off borrowed capital. They only corrupt what has already been built. But Christians are meant to be makers. Because we know the Bible, we know history, and we know God in Christ, the Creator and Maker of all things. _____________________________ Back in 2017, Netflix tweeted, that “love, is sharing a password.” But now, Netflix would love it, if you stopped doing that. https://twitter.com/netflix/status/840276073040371712?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E840276073040371712%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnbc.com%2F2022%2F04%2F23%2Fhow-netflixs-password-sharing-crackdown-is-likely-to-work.html - Show Tweet Netflix surprised the world this week, saying it plans to finally address the rampant practice of password sharing. More than 100 million households are using a shared password, Netflix said Tuesday, including 30 million in the U.S. and Canada. But the video streamer doesn’t plan to simply freeze those shared accounts. Instead, the company will likely favor the setting of an extra fee for those accounts being used by multiple people outside of the home. Netflix’s plan to capture that lost revenue would start with an alert being sent to account holders whose passwords are being used by other households. This announcement comes after Netflix’s first quarter report came out, showing that Netflix had lost subscribers for the first time in over a decade. The company reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers globally compared to Q4, and it’s forecasting even bigger losses to come. Netflix estimates it could lose up to 2 million subscribers in the second quarter. I mean, maybe it also has to do with the simple fact, that Netflix now costs between $15, and $20 per month… There are free streaming services available like Tubi… It’s time for Christians to invest in Christian media… Which begs the question, are you a club member? Because if not, you can sign up for the low, low price of $5 per month! That’s a lot better than Netflix’s $15-$20, especially when you consider some of the harmful content on there.

Along with all the blessings from marriage, there are also sleepless nights with crying babies, expensive car repairs, burnt dinners, potential drama with extended family, and turmoil in the world. The world thinks that when a marriage is confronted with hardship, either spouse can push the emergency eject button and simply move on due to “irreconcilable differences.” But Christian couples are commanded, in sickness and health, riches and poverty, good times and bad, to display the glory of Christ and the church. To do this takes gritty faith, covenant fidelity, and joyful forbearance. Grace Agenda 2022: Marriage Bootcamp aims to equip Christian couples to ride into the turbulence of the world in which we live with a fearless resolve to glorify God in their home and so advance the kingdom of God in the midst of the smoking crater that is Western Civilization."

Joseph Kennedy, a coach for the Bremerton, Wash., High School Varsity and JV football teams began praying with his players before and after games in 2008. At the end of a game, he would take a knee and say a prayer with his players at midfield. By the 2015 season, Kennedy was often joined at the 50-yard line as well by players from the opposing team. Indeed, it was an approving comment by an opposing coach that finally alerted school district officials to the practice.Oh that HORRIBLE PRACTICE, Those Christians are at it again! Stop them! We want them worshipping Baal instead! The prayers prompted the athletic director, and later the superintendent, to order the coaching staff to stop praying with students. Kennedy stopped his locker room prayers completely, and for a least one game left the home field, returning later when the crowds had gone, to pray by himself on the 50-yard line. But the Marine veteran didn't like doing it that way. So Kennedy returned to his praying practice right after the game, mainly at away games, and with little fanfare. By the time of the big homecoming game, Kennedy had retained lawyers from the First Liberty Institute. In a letter to school officials, they said that the coach had a constitutional right to pray on the 50-yard line at the end of the game, and that students should be free to voluntarily join in. But as events unfolded, "it was a zoo," said John Polm, Bremerton High's principal, describing the homecoming game during his deposition. Attendance doubled, five TV stations showed up, and a group of Satanists unsuccessfully attempted to take the field to perform their own competing ritual. That right there, ladies and gentleman, is the power of prayer. If you ever feel like prayer to our creator doesn’t pack a punch, you need to think of this story. The school argued, the problem was this was never personal or private or solitary or any of those other adjectives that Mr. Kennedy's lawyers describe. He chose to put himself in the center of the field at the end of the game to make a spectacle. That’s why I never had a problem with Tim Tebow, Tebow-ing on the field. I heard the same exact arguments from critics. “He’s bringing all the attention to himself!” Imagine for a second, that coach Kennedy, was praying to Allah… or that Tebow was bowing down towards Mecca to celebrate his Touchdowns… Then imagine, that opposing players would sack Tebow, and then mockingly bow towards Mecca, like they mocked Tebow when he honored God after his Touchdowns… all hell would have broken loose. The school district would 100% let coach Kennedy continue to pray to Allah, or heck, if he wanted to dress as a drag queen… and dance for his team like a pervert, that’d be okay. Now, NPR noted in the article, that coach Kennedy’s case, could eventually lead to the over-turning of a 60-year-old decision banning official prayer in public schools. Now some might think that’s a good thing, but for me, I frankly don’t give a damn. I’m of course appreciative of the courage coach Kennedy is showing, but we need our kids out of public schools. Period. By the way, if you need help doing that, visit our sponsor, Classical Conversations… So, you remember how I mentioned the word drag queen? Well, Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire, posted a 4-year old video, showing a Good Morning America clip, of an 11-year old boy, dressed up as a woman, dancing to the delight of all the adults in the audience. https://notthebee.com/article/matt-walsh-reminds-us-that-the-groomers-at-disney-and-abc-have-been-sexualizing-children-literally-for-years/ Heck, even Michael Strahan, an athlete I once looked up to was clapping and smiling throughout the whole segment… I won’t play the whole thing, but if I had to see this, you do too. https://youtu.be/JxdvOLdG_34 -Play 1:11-3:34 Now, if that wasn’t bad enough, they brought out three men parading around as women out to talk to Desmond, and they gave him gifts, including makeup, girls’ toys, and then dance classes, so he can dance for all the perverts that his parents are setting him up for. I won’t play that clip for you, because otherwise that’d be 8-minutes of hell for you all. But here’s a picture of them in all their hideous get-up. By the way, to those parents… shame on you. I’m glad we serve a God, who will hand out perfect, and righteous judgement on you both. Because that is cruel, what they are setting that child up for. Walsh’s point in bringing this up, is that Disney didn’t just NOW become woke… they’ve been trending this direction for years and years, all while the Church slept… Thank God for bringing judgement on our nation. If you haven’t seen our Sunday Special, we had Pastor James White of Apologia Church, and Jared Longshore join us… and they talk about how we as a nation, got where we are today. Jared even mentions, how he’s hopeful we see more judgement, because we as a nation, have SUCH a short memory. Heck, I didn’t even remember this clip until Matt Walsh shared it this morning. Now that the mask mandates have been lifted, we can not stop there. We have to keep fighting our wicked culture, so go forth, and Fight Laugh & Feast.

Full Hour | In today's third hour, Giordano welcomes back in Pennridge School District President Joan Cullen onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss her district's decision to end its diversity program. First, Giordano greets Cullen, joking whether there is a team at the Inquirer dedicated to following her actions after their repeated reporting of her conservative tendencies. Then, Giordano asks Cullen about the decision itself, with Cullen explaining why Pennridge decided to take this stance on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs, telling of the divisive nature wrought on by the program, including white privilege and equity of outcomes. Then, Giordano and Dan discuss a freedom of speech case playing out in the Supreme Court over a high school coach who held a prayer circle and would preach to players after games. Joseph Kennedy lost his job as a high school football coach after praying with his team midfield. Dan and Dom both agree that the players who did not want to participate could've easily stepped away or taken a moment of silence to meditate, and that the open show of faith should have been allowed, although Dom can see the argument that, due to a power dynamic, many students felt forced to participate. Dom spends the remainder of the hour taking calls from listeners who both agree and disagree with his thoughts on the topic. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)

Live—from the campus of Hillsdale College in beautiful Hillsdale Michigan— this is Scot Bertram in for Steve on the Steve Gruber Show for –April 25th 2022—   —Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — The Supreme Court is taking up a case today about prayer in school.  A football coach wants his job back.  Joseph Kennedy says he spent seven years kneeling on the field in prayer after games until the principal was alerted.  He was told to stop but then restarted.     Two—Matt DePerno is the choice of the Michigan Republican Party to be their Attorney General nominee for the November election. Delegates at the GOP convention also picked Kristina Karamo as their Secretary of State nominee. They will face Democratic incumbents Dana Nessel for Attorney General and Jocelyn Benson for Secretary of State. And number three— President Biden isn't giving up on the push for more COVID money.  That's on the agenda when Congress returns from recess this week.  The Senate left without taking action on a ten-billion dollar package.  Lawmakers will also be asked to approve more aid for Ukraine.

Kyle Schwarber had a beef with Angel Hernandez's inconsistent strike zone.  That was not a strike.  Bring on the robo umps.  No Ben Simmons tonight and gelling issues this year per Kyrie should start summer vacation for the Nets tonight after being swept by the Celtics. 12-5 MLB leading Mets play in St. Louis tonight with Max Scherzer on the hill tonight.  And Yanks swept the Guardians over the weekend.  UNC is bringing back next year Bacot, Black and now Caleb Love.  Go Heels!  Suns are in a fight with the Pelicans tied 2-2.  Chris Paul only 4 points.  Devin Booker get well soon. Nuggets only have to win three in a row vs GS.  It's nice to dream.  Ryan Getzlaf congrats on a great career with the Ducks.  NFL Draft finally here on Thursday.  No consensus #1 pick this year.  

Next week, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District. The case is about Joseph Kennedy, a Christian high school football coach in Washington state who regularly prayed before games. Eventually a majority of the players joined in as well, and one player's parent complained that he felt pressured to pray as well. Kennedy lost his job after refusing to comply with school district's orders to stop.  Nicole Garnett of Notre Dame Law School and Rachel Laser of Americans United for Separation of Church and State join host Jeffrey Rosen to discuss the case; the questions raised around the limits of free speech, free exercise of religion, and the separation of church and state in schools; and how the Court might rule based on its prior jurisprudence—from the Lemon v. Kurtzmann test to the Abington v. Schempp case—and some justices' questioning of it. Listen to "Football, Faith, and the First Amendment" from January 31, 2019. Questions or comments about the show?
