Chuck Todd takes a deep dive into the JFK assassination conspiracy and the latest document release with Jeff Morley, founder of JFK Facts.He opens the episode by exploring how the government's lack of transparency and honesty has fueled public distrust—and why that environment often breeds conspiratorial thinking.Chuck and Jeff then examine the government's decades-long effort to keep a tight lid on records related to President John F. Kennedy's assassination, and how skepticism from high-ranking officials at the time continues to cast doubt on the CIA's official account.They break down the most recent document releases, discuss why both Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden delayed their full release, and analyze what the timing and redactions might suggest about what the government could still be hiding.The conversation takes a closer look at Lee Harvey Oswald, his potential ties to the CIA, and why the agency has remained evasive about those connections.Finally, they review the key findings from the newly released documents, assess whether any revelations have truly been groundbreaking, and preview what might come next in the ongoing evolution of this historic conspiracy theory.Like and subscribe to The Chuck ToddCast!Timeline:0:00 Introduction02:00 What led to massive distrust of the U.S. government04:00 Chuck's big questions about the JFK assassination8:40 How did Jeff Morley become JFKfacts?10:10 Oliver Stone's movie led to congress passing the JFK records act in 199211:40 Released CIA records were a reporting gold mine14:55 Until the internet, the government kept a closed fist on the records15:55 Oswald denied the killing, case was never adjudicated 19:10 Chuck welcoming his son to the conspiracy 21:50 The books that informed Jeff's thinking on the assassination24:45 Bobby Kennedy never believed the official story25:55 How did Oswald not end up in jail after going to Russia?28:45 Oswald was a known quantity to CIA officials before the assassination29:55 Robert Kennedy asked the CIA director directly about CIA involvement32:10 CIA's fear was their awful operations being brought to light33:40 Lyndon Johnson didn't believe the Warren commission34:50 Why did the CIA cover up its affiliation with Oswald?35:40 What did Trump hold off on releasing?37:30 Trump and Biden both punted on releasing files40:40 Trump got back on board after RFK Jr. joined the campaign43:10 The timeline for redactions shows what the government prioritized protecting45:10 Hoover sanctioned FBI agents for their handling of Oswald45:55 Why did the FBI + CIA remove Oswald from the watch list?47:40 Oswald clearly was a CIA asset48:40 Oswald did 5 things that should have landed him in trouble49:55 Oswald goes public with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee51:50 4 people confronting Oswald in the courtroom had CIA connections54:20 Bay of Pigs is the root of Cuban-American support for Republicans59:00 Did we learn anything from old Soviet files?1:01:00 Soviets surveilled Oswald while he was in Minsk 1:03:45 Tulsi Gabbard implied new files had been found1:05:30 CIA hasn't produced new records that aren't at the national archives1:06:00 What are we missing on Jack Ruby?1:08:10 CIA motivations for cover up?1:10:15 What if Oswald did it and was part of a conspiracy?1:10:40 There's no smoking gun proof Oswald did it?1:11:10 Compelling evidence that shots came from in front of Kennedy1:13:10 Investigators botched the chain of possession for evidence1:17:25 Jeff's experience testifying in front of congress1:18:55 Trump's motive for declassifying the records1:21:40 Where to find Jeff's work1:23:10 The CIA was a rogue agency in the 50s 1:24:55 Chuck's closing thoughts

Former President Donald Trump's choice for Pennsylvania governor has won his primary, and his Senate pick is locked in an exceedingly close contest as the former president works to expand his hold on the Republican Party. Trump's late endorsement helped put the already surging far-right state senator Doug Mastriano over the top Tuesday in the GOP governor's primary in one of the nation's premier battleground states. But Mehmet Oz, the celebrity heart surgeon endorsed by Trump, is locked with former hedge fund manager David McCormick in a race that is too early to call. On the Democratic side, progressive Lt. Gov. John Fetterman easily secured his party's Senate nomination. In another of the night's closely watched races, progressive John Fetterman easily won Pennsylvania's Democratic Senate primary, just days after a stroke sent him to the hospital. U.S. Rep. Ted Budd and former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley have won their respective Senate primaries in North Carolina. Budd on Tuesday won the 14-candidate Republican primary over the likes of former Gov. Pat McCrory and U.S. Rep. Mark Walker. Beasley was the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, which 11 people sought. Beasley and Budd will compete in November to succeed retiring Sen. Richard Burr.  Former Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek has won the Democratic gubernatorial primary governor, beating state Treasurer Tobias Read in a victory for the party's progressive wing.  Russia says that nearly 1,000 Ukrainian troops who doggedly defended a giant steelworks in Mariupol have surrendered. The plant became a symbol of their country's resistance. The announcement Wednesday comes as the battle for the strategic port city appeared all but over. Ukraine ordered the fighters to save their lives and said their mission to tie up Russian forces is now complete. But it has not called the column of soldiers walking out of the plant a surrender. The fighters face an uncertain fate. Ukraine says they hope for a prisoner swap but Russia is vowing to try at least some of them for war crimes. Both Sweden and Finland have applied to join NATO. A new report says decisions by Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden to pull all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan were the key factors in the collapse of that nation's military, leading to the Taliban takeover last year.  The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol is rejecting a request from the Justice Department for access to the committee's interviews, for now. Rep. Bennie Thompson says the Justice Department made the request as part of its ongoing criminal investigation into the attack. But Thompson, the committee's chairman, said Tuesday it was “premature” for the committee to share its work at this point because the panel's probe is ongoing. The Heat knock off the Celtics, the Magic get the NBA's top draft pick, the Lightning and Avalanche win on ice and Aaron Judge flexes his muscles again. Correspondent Josh Rowntree reports. President Joe Biden mourned with Buffalo's grieving families on Tuesday, then exhorted the nation to reject what he angrily labeled the poison of white supremacy. He said the nation must “reject the lie” of the racist “replacement theory” espoused by the shooter who killed 10 Black people at a supermarket. Biden declared that “evil will not win” in America. “Replacement theory” is the idea that white people are being intentionally replaced by people of color. It's another manifestation of the bigotry Biden vowed to confront while running for president. Biden says it was the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and President Donald Trump's ambivalent reaction that drove him to run. The fall of Mariupol appears at hand as Ukraine is moving to abandon a sprawling steel plant where its soldiers had held out under relentless bombardment for months, which would make it the biggest city to fall into Russian hands. Much of it, though, has been reduced to rubble. Ukraine estimates some 20,000 civilians have been killed in the Russian assault on Mariupol, a city on the Azov Sea that stands between the Russian mainland and the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia seized from Ukraine in 2014. Hundreds of Ukrainian fighters have left the Azovstal steel plant and turned themselves over to Russian hands. House Democrats have unveiled a $28 million emergency spending bill to address the shortage of infant formula in the United States. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the chair of the House Appropriations Committee, says the bill would help the Food and Drug Administration take important steps to restore the formula supply in a safe and secure manner. U.S. regulators have authorized a COVID-19 vaccine booster for healthy children ages 5 to 11. Everyone 12 and older already was supposed to get one booster dose for the best protection against the newest variants of the coronavirus.  There were 1.7 million weddings in 2020, a drop of 17% from the year before. The number of U.S. marriages in 2020 was the lowest recorded since 1963. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released an analysis of the data Tuesday. The pandemic threw many marriage plans into disarray with stay-at-home orders and restrictions on large gatherings. The CDC has not yet released data on marriages in 2021. Queen Elizabeth II made a surprise appearance at central London's Paddington station. The 96-year-old monarch has reduced most of her public engagements. But she appeared Tuesday at the train station and beamed as she unveiled a plaque stating she officially opened the Elizabeth line, named in her honor. Prince William says he hopes more soccer players will have the confidence to be open about their sexuality after Jake Daniels became the first active player in the English men's professional game to announce he is gay.  Nearly 43,000 people were killed on U.S. roads last year. That's the highest number in 16 years as Americans returned to the highways after the pandemic forced many to stay at home. Traffic deaths rose 10.5% over 2020, the largest percentage increase since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began its fatality data collection in 1975. An outbreak of avian flu is forcing farmers to cull their flocks and leading to concerns about even higher food prices. While it doesn't pose a significant threat to humans, the outbreak is prompting a new wave of some of the same conspiracy theories that emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic. Experts who study misinformation say claims that the avian flu is a bioweapon or an elaborate hoax reflect a deepening distrust of the media and scientific experts. For poultry farmers and animal health officials in affected states, however, the flu poses a threat that's all too real for both their animals and their local economies. U.S. retail sales rose 0.9% in April, a solid increase that underscores Americans' ability to keep ramping up spending even as inflation persists at nearly a 40-year high. The Commerce Department said Tuesday that the increase was driven by greater sales of cars, electronics, and at restaurants. Even adjusting for inflation, which was 0.3% on a monthly basis in April, sales increased.  A handful of U.S. hospitals are facing a financial crisis that officials say was caused by the federal government's rules for pandemic relief money. A trio of hospitals in Alabama, Kansas and New Mexico say they're not getting as much assistance as other hospitals because they're so new they can't prove financial losses from before the pandemic. In rural southwest Alabama, Thomasville Regional Medical Center says it's in danger of closing after just two years. Federal health officials say all three hospitals have gotten some money from the CARES Act, and no health providers are getting all their losses reimbursed. —The Associated Press See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden both embraced barriers like tariffs as a U.S. response to technology and globalization. Former White House economic adviser Glenn Hubbard argues that such strategies will fail. But policymakers can do more to take care of those left behind.

Joe Biden hasn't held a press conference since July 15th. That's 99 plus days ago. In that time we've experienced:Afghanistan withdrawal crisisHaitian migrant crisisInflation crisisSupply chain crisisNone of these issues were important enough for the Resident of the United States to take questions from the American people.Politico calls out Biden for not doing interviews: 'Reflects the bunker mentality this White House has taken' Politico is calling out President Biden for his lack of availability for one-on-one media interviews. On a recent installment of its "West Wing Playbook" newsletter, Politico reporters Alex Thompson and Tina Sfondeles began by highlighting that Biden has participated in "just 10" interviews in the first nine months of his presidency – and not one since Labor Day. His tally pales in comparison to the 57 interviews Donald Trump had done and the 131 Barack Obama had done at the same point in their presidencies, according to Mark Knoller, a former CBS reporter and "presidential watcher." Politico also noted that Biden had done "at least double" the interviews at this point when he was vice president under Obama. "Biden's team is quick to note that he often takes questions from reporters after he does events. Allies of the president are even quicker to note that no one outside of the Washington press corps really cares about press access," Politico wrote. "But the lack of interviews reflects the bunker mentality this White House has taken with the media — particularly the extensive back-and-forths where reporters can follow-up, push, and prod.""Biden has been especially wary of talking to print publications; he has yet to do an interview with reporters from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Associated Press, or Reuters," the newsletter added. Politico pointed out that the only three print interviews Biden had done so far were with New York Times columnist David Brooks, The Atlantic columnist Edward-Isaac Dovere and People magazine as part of a joint interview with first lady Jill Biden. White House press corps member pleads for Biden to take more questionsDeputy press secretary insists Biden 'takes questions all the time'https://twitter.com/i/status/1451267963051548679A member of the White House press corps called for President Biden to take more questions, as the White House claimed: "he takes questions all the time."White House reporter Brian Karem, who became known during the Trump administration for his aggressive style when asking questions, asked to have the same opportunity with Biden."I'm sure there have been dozens who would humbly request that the president of the United States not only do a town hall, but show up, either in this room or in the East Room, to appear before the full press for a robust round of questions that will no doubt benefit the American public," Karem told White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.Biden is appearing at a "town hall" event on CNN recently.Jean-Pierre interjected and claimed Biden "takes questions all the time," adding that it is a "large press corps."While Biden sometimes gives brief answers to reporters as before or after meetings at the White House and as he travels, he has a history of refusing to take multiple questions at once or hold press conferences of his own – usually turning his back on reporters who have questions.In the first nine months of his presidency, Biden only engaged in 11 interviews, far less than former Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama at the same time in their presidencies. Biden gave his last interview on August 18, more than two months ago. His last press conference was held on July 15, nearly 100 days ago.https://www.spreaker.com/user/9922149/joe-biden-has-not-given-a-press-conferen

18JUN21: Formerly serving as a White House physician under former Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama, Jackson collected signatures for his petition this week during GOP meetings and House votes. He said, on Thursday, he expects to send a letter in the next day or two requesting Biden take a cognitive test. There are crazy positions on the far left and crazy positions on the far right. On the left, there are people who believe a man can get pregnant; that the world is going to end in a decade if we don't cap carbon emissions; that the real purpose of the American Revolution was to preserve slavery.

Dollar Looking for Economic Guidance Ahead of Busy Week** The US dollar is mixed against most major pairs on Monday after the G20 meeting in Argentina. Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping reached a ceasefire in the trade dispute between their two nations. The US will no longer add any sanctions to Chinese goods in the next 90 days.

The greenback fell across the board on Wednesday after the market took the comments from Fed Chair Powell on interest rates to mean less rate hikes from the central bank. The minutes form the November Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) showed all members are onboard with more rates hikes coming "very soon" but the dovish narrative was in full force and the dollar only partially recovered to end up slightly higher against major pairs on a weekly basis.

In the first of a new series of essays, Clay draws comparisons between the inaugurations of Presidents Donald Trump and Thomas Jefferson. The full essay can also be found on the blog. "By not acknowledging the fact of the opposition—and making some gesture of his desire to represent them too, to find a way to win their approval—Trump spoke about 'the People' in a way that is merely demagogic and symbolic but without any fundamental truth or reality. ... Had he been a Jeffersonian, Trump would have acknowledged the polarization of the country." Learn more about the 1776 Club.
