Britain's new government is caught in a series of scandals about freebies, cronyism and ‘cash for access'. And now we have allegations surrounding the recent Taylor Swift concerts in London which might - or might not - be responsible for the downfall of a key Downing street aide. Phil wonders whether any of this really matters, and what it tells us about the state of politics today - and the power of scandal!Then this week's guest Maureen Callahan joins Phil to reveal some of the jaw-dropping stories in her groundbreaking new book on the Kennedys, Ask Not. Portraying the men in the Kennedy family as a series of domineering and abusive sexual predators, Maureen brings to life the often terrible experiences of the women in their lives - and tries to give dignity and agency to some of the victims, women like Mary Jo Kopechne and White House intern Mimi Beardsley.

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.

Mike Rothmiller - Chappaquiddick The Killing Of Mary Jo KopechneEd is joined by former LA Detective Mike Rothmiller to discuss Ted Kennedy's biggest nightmare; the events surrounding the death of Mary Jo Kopechne.The Chappaquiddick incident occurred on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts some time around midnight between July 18 and 19, 1969, when Senator Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy negligently drove his car off a narrow bridge, causing it to overturn in a tidal pond. This resulted in the drowning death of his 28-year-old passenger Mary Jo Kopechne, who was trapped inside the vehicle.Kennedy left a party on Chappaquiddick at 11:15p.m. Friday. He maintained that his intent was to immediately take Kopechne to a ferry landing and return to Edgartown, but that he accidentally made a wrong turn onto a dirt road leading to a one-lane bridge. After his car skidded off the bridge into Poucha Pond, Kennedy swam free, and maintained that he tried to rescue Kopechne from the submerged car, but that he could not. Kopechne's death could have happened any time between about 11:30p.m. Friday and 1a.m. Saturday, as an off-duty deputy sheriff stated he saw a car matching Kennedy's license plate at 12:40a.m. Kennedy left the scene and did not report the accident to police until after 10a.m. Saturday. Meanwhile, a diver recovered Kopechne's body from Kennedy's car shortly before 9a.m. Saturday.These events curtailed the Kennedy dynasty on a permanent basis; up until then it had seemed the illusion of Camelot was in his hands, but it lay shattered beyond repair.Mike discusses his research into the case, and his conclusions based on his experience as a detective and his investigation and research. And it's even more surprising than it sounds.Mike Rothmiller is a New York Times Bestselling author, historian, a former cop, and an Army medic.

Mike Rothmiller - Frank Sinatra and the Mafia MurdersThere can be no denying it, Frank Sinatra had one of the finest voices in the twentieth century. His modulation and glides were almost perfect, and his body of work is probably unequalled in the sheer quality of the singing.But the man himself was legendarily short tempered, indulgent and could hold a grudge. His searing blue eyes could go from warm to cold in a flash should he not get his way. There were rumours of violence and intimidation, of sleaze and sex, of affairs and cruelty. Ol' Blue Eyes was a veneer the public saw; behind the scenes it was a different story.His propulsion to his historic status was aided by The Mafia, and Sinatra made sure he kept his patrons happy in almost every way he could.But how far was Frank willing to go? How dirty did his hands get returning the favours which put him where he ended up? Mike Rothmiller has spent years looking into The Rat Pack and specifically Sinatra. What he finds is a chaotic story of an almost symbiotic relationship which veered from amicable business arrangement to fierce negotiation.Book Frank Sinatra and the Mafia Murders Website Wildblue PressOther Books L.A.

Chappaquiddick: The Killing of Mary Jo KopechneThis is the complete FBI CHAPPAQUIDDICK file. Much of the hit movie is based on this file. These pages are in the same order as found in the file. It must be noted that the clear majority of Americans believe Edward Kennedy let Mary Jo drown to save himself and his political career. Most think he got away with killing her. As a former detective, I believe he got away with it. From Kennedy's delay in notifying police, his selective memory, his unbelievable testimony contained in these pages and the theatrical grand jury which only heard from 4 witnesses totaling 20 minutes of testimony before deciding not to indict. It's clear that since this occurred in the Kennedy's kingdom of Massachusetts, the fix was in. How much did it cost, we'll never know. All we do know is that Mary Jo did not receive justice. Edward Kennedy was convicted for leaving the scene of an accident with bodily injury. His penalty, two months in jail—but the sentence was suspended. In simple terms, he didn't spend a single day in jail for killing her. That is not justice. As you read the court testimony pay particular attention to Kennedy's highly scripted and dubious statements.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast, where Craig and Professor Stone present Part 2 of their special on the life and legacy of Senator Ted Kennedy. The primary topic for Part 2 is the notorious Chappaquiddick episode of Kennedy's life, how it shaped the country's politics, and continued a Kennedy family legacy of controversy. The Kennedys are the closest equivalent America has to political royalty. John F. Kennedy was, of course, the 35th President of the United States and his brother Bobby Kennedy served as his Attorney General, and later as a Senator from New York and Presidential candidate. Various other Kennedys have served in other appointed and elected political positions. Ted Kennedy, the younger brother of John and Bobby, is known for his long tenure in the United States Senate, where he served from 1962 until his death in 2009. His political and personal life was full of both promise and controversy. He was long considered the heir to the Kennedy dynasty, and then a tragic incident on Chappaquiddick Island left 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne dead after a car driven by Kennedy crashed into the Poucha Pond. Kennedy survived. Clips used in this episode: 1969 ABC News report on Ted Kennedy's accident at Chappaquiddick Island Edward J.

The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich

At 79, Joe Biden is the oldest president in American history. Concerns about his age top the list for why Democratic voters want the party to find an alternative for 2024.I don't think this reflects an “ageist” prejudice against those who have reached such withering heights so much as an understanding that people in their late 70s and 80s wither.I speak with some authority. I'm now a spritely 76 — lightyears younger than our president. I feel fit, I swing dance and salsa, and can do 20 pushups in a row. Yet I confess to a certain loss of, shall we say, fizz.  Joe Biden could easily make it until 86, when he'd conclude his second term. After all, it's now thought a bit disappointing if a person dies before 85. My mother passed at 86, my father two weeks before his 102nd birthday (so I'm hoping for the best, genetically speaking). Three score and ten is the number of years of life set out in the Bible. Modern technology and Big Pharma should add at least a decade and a half. Beyond this is an extra helping. “After 80, it's gravy,” my father used to say. Joe will be on the cusp of the gravy train. Where will it end? There's only one possibility, and that reality occurs to me with increasing frequency. I find myself reading the obituary pages with ever greater interest, curious about how long they lasted and what brought them down. I remember a New Yorker cartoon in which an older reader of the obituaries sees headlines that read only “Older Than Me” or “Younger Than Me.”Yet most of the time I forget my age. The other day, after lunch with some of my graduate students, I caught our reflection in a store window and for an instant wondered about the identity of the short old man in our midst.It's not death that's the worrying thing about a second Biden term. It's the dwindling capacities that go with aging. "Bodily decrepitude," said Yeats, "is wisdom." I have accumulated somewhat more of the former than the latter, but our president seems fairly spry (why do I feel I have to add “for someone his age?”). I still have my teeth, in contrast to my grandfather whom I vividly recall storing his choppers in a glass next to his bed, and have so far steered clear of heart attack or stroke (I pray I'm not tempting fate by my stating this fact). But I've lived through several kidney stones and a few unexplained fits of epilepsy in my late thirties. I've had both hips replaced. And my hearing is crap. Even with hearing aids, I have a hard time understanding someone talking to me in a noisy restaurant. You'd think that the sheer market power of 60 million boomers losing their hearing would be enough to generate at least one chain of quiet restaurants.When I get together with old friends, our first ritual is an “organ recital” — how's your back? knee? heart? hip? shoulder? eyesight? hearing? prostate? hemorrhoids? digestion? The recital can run (and ruin) an entire lunch. The question my friends and I jokingly (and brutishly) asked one other in college—"getting much?"—now refers not to sex but to sleep. I don't know anyone over 75 who sleeps through the night. When he was president, Bill Clinton prided himself on getting only about four hours. But he was in his forties then. (I also recall cabinet meetings where he dozed off.) How does Biden manage?My memory for names is horrible. (I once asked Ted Kennedy how he recalled names and he advised that if a man is over 50, just ask “how's the back?” and he'll think you know him.) I often can't remember where I put my wallet and keys or why I've entered a room. And certain proper nouns have disappeared altogether. Even when rediscovered, they have a diabolical way of disappearing again. Biden's secret service detail can worry about his wallet and he's got a teleprompter for wayward nouns, but I'm sure he's experiencing some diminution in the memory department. I have lost much of my enthusiasm for travel and feel, as did Philip Larkin, that I would like to visit China, but only on the condition that I could return home that night. Air Force One makes this possible under most circumstances. If not, it has a first-class bedroom and personal bathroom, so I don't expect Biden's trips are overly taxing. I'm told that after the age of 60, one loses half an inch of height every five years. This doesn't appear to be a problem for Biden but it presents a challenge for me, considering that at my zenith I didn't quite make it to five feet. If I live as long as my father did, I may vanish.Another diminution I've noticed is tact. A few days ago, I gave the finger to a driver who passed me recklessly. These days, giving the finger to a stranger is itself a reckless act. I'm also noticing I have less patience, perhaps because of an unconscious “use by” timer that's now clicking away. Increasingly I wonder why I'm wasting time with this or that buffoon. I'm less tolerant of long waiting lines, automated phone menus, and Republicans. Cicero claimed "older people who are reasonable, good-tempered, and gracious bear aging well. Those who are mean-spirited and irritable will be unhappy at every stage of their lives." Easy for Cicero to say. He was forced into exile and murdered at the age of 63, his decapitated head and right hand hung up in the Forum by order of the notoriously mean-spirited and irritable Marcus Antonius. How the hell does Biden maintain tact or patience when he has to deal with Mitch McConnell? Or Joe Manchin, for crying out loud? The style sections of the papers tell us that the 70s are the new 50s. Septuagenarians are supposed to be fit and alert, exercise like mad, have rip-roaring sex, and party until dawn. Rubbish. Inevitably, things begin falling apart. My aunt, who lived far into her nineties, told me “getting old isn't for sissies.” Toward the end she repeated that phrase every two to three minutes.Philosopher George Santayana claimed to prefer old age to all others. "Old age is, or may be as in my case, far happier than youth," he wrote. "I was never more entertained or less troubled than I am now." True for me too, in a way. Despite Trump, notwithstanding the seditiousness of the Republican Party, the ravages of climate change, near record inequality, a potential nuclear war, and a stubborn pandemic, I remain upbeat -- largely because I still spend most days with people in their twenties, whose fizz buoys my spirits. Maybe Biden does, too.But I'm feeling more and more out of it. I'm doing videos on TikTok and Snapchat, but when my students talk about Ariana Grande or Selena Gomez or Jared Leto, I don't have clue who they're talking about (and frankly don't care). And I find myself using words –- “hence,” “utmost,” “therefore,” “tony,” “brilliant” — that my younger colleagues find charmingly old-fashioned. If I refer to “Rose Marie Woods” or “Jackie Robinson” or “Ed Sullivan” or “Mary Jo Kopechne,” they're bewildered. The culture has flipped in so many ways. When I was seventeen, I could go into a drugstore and confidently ask for a package of Luckies and nervously whisper a request for condoms. Now it's precisely the reverse. (I stopped smoking long ago.)Santayana said the reason that old people have nothing but foreboding about the future is that they cannot imagine a world that's good without themselves in it. I don't share that view. To the contrary, I think my generation — including Bill and Hillary, George W., Trump, Newt Gingrich, Clarence Thomas, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Biden – have fucked it up royally. The world will probably be better without us.Joe, please don't run. This is a public episode.

On July 18, 1969, Ted Kennedy drove off Dyke Bridge while attending a party on Chappaquiddick, located on Martha's Vineyard. Though he managed to get out of the car, his passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, a former campaign aid of Robert Kennedy, could not get out. Ted claimed to have tried to save her but he never contacted authorities until the next morning after her body had been found. Many people Kennedy never told the full story from that night and that it ruined his chances of becoming president. Could Mary Jo have been saved if something had been done sooner?

Dr. Cyril Wecht, a world-renowned forensic pathologist joins Tim to talk about his long experience with his study of the John F. Kennedy assassination. Dr. Wecht was among the first to raise concerns over the investigation of the assassination. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Wecht about the events of November 22, 1963, the story that was told to the world, and the story that has started to emerge in the 55 years since.  This episode is an Encore Presentation of one of our listeners' favorite episodes. It was originally released on February 18, 2019. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_JFK_Assassination.mp3 Dr. Cyril Wecht has been involved in many high-profile cases, including the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. But the most high-profile case that he has studied and written a book about is the JFK Assassination and the possibility that it was the result of a conspiracy. On a sunny day on November 22nd 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed as his motorcade traveled through the streets of Dallas. That's one thing that everyone can agree on. After that, the official explanation for what happened is only one of the stories that have resonated with people over the years. As history would tell it, as the president rode with the first lady and Texas Governor John Connally through Dealey Plaza in Downtown Dallas, he was horrifically shot in the head, setting off a chain of events that are controversial to this day. Very quickly, the world would learn that the shooter was an employee of the Texas Schoolbook Repository. His name was Lee Harvey Oswald, and he was said to have perched himself at a window on the 6th floor overlooking Dealey Plaza when the president drove by. In six seconds, he fired three shots into the president's car. In a matter of hours, the police caught up with Oswald and it was widely believed that for all intents and purposes, the case was solved. With President Kennedy deceased, President Johnson convened the Warren Commission to conduct a formal investigation into the assassination. By September and October of 1964, just short of a year after the assassination, the Warren Commission issued their report. It was 26 volumes of details and justification of their findings, which was that there was a single shooter, and that shooter was Lee Harvey Oswald. The Commission concluded that he was operating on his own and that there was no larger conspiracy either within or outside of the United States. Dr. Cyril Wecht was the first civilian forensic pathologist to see the Warren Commission's forensic evidence, which would come in 1972. Before that, in 1964, he was among the first to study the 26-volume Warren Commission Report from a forensic pathology perspective.
