In this gripping episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins unravels one of the most damning scandals in FBI history—a chilling story of corruption, betrayal, and a sanctioned murder that would stain the Bureau's legacy for decades. Gary examines the sinister role played by FBI agent H. Paul Rico in the 1965 murder of Teddy Deegan. You'll hear how, back in October 1964, Rico learned Deegan had been marked for a mob hit—yet the Bureau did nothing. Why? Because the killers were protected informants. Gary breaks down how the FBI built its case on the false testimony of mob informant Joe Barboza. Instead of stopping the murder plot, the Bureau sat on exculpatory evidence and let Barboza's lies send Louis Greco, Henry Tamaleo, Peter Limone, and Joe Salvati to prison—two of them to death row. The FBI's Informant Obsession: The Bureau's relentless protection of violent informants like Barboza and Vincent “Jimmy the Bear” Flemmi reveals how an obsession with “winning” overshadowed basic justice. The Justice Department's own admission in 2000 that they knew the real killers exposes just how far the corruption ran. From Cover-Up to Vindication: Follow the twisted timeline of the Deegan murder, the courtroom betrayals, and the decades-long fight to clear the names of the wrongfully convicted. Gary explores the human cost of a system that chose loyalty to informants over the truth. Why This Story Matters: This episode forces listeners to confront a haunting truth: when law enforcement trades integrity for convenience, innocent lives pay the price. Gary challenges you to rethink the myth of the Bureau's infallibility—and to remember the names of the men who spent their lives behind bars for a crime they didn't commit.

Transcript [0:00] Well, hey, all you wiretappers out there, good to be back here in the studio. This is Gary Jenkins, former Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective. I've seen a lot of things in my life, and I just heard something in that interview I just did with Detective Mike Huff from Tulsa that I had never heard before. [0:18] I mean, I've heard a lot of corruption things, but this one, it just went beyond the pale, especially there at the end where he said that this H. Paul Rico asked him about his kids and how old his kids were. That was like, you know, and I, you know, I talked with that guy long enough to know that he wasn't lying. You know, he wasn't making that up. That was, it was just beyond the pale, if you ask me. But today's episode is going to be a little bit more about H. Paul Rico and a dark chapter in the FBI history. Now, this is before John Connolly and the Whitey Bulger cover-up and all that. H. Paul Rico was the agent that really broke in Connolly, I think, and taught him the ropes. He was a slick FBI agent that had all the informants, that always had the inside track on everything, knew where the deals were. And so let's talk a little more about this one incident that we glossed over in that interview with Mike Huff about the murder of the Roger Wheeler down in Tulsa at the golf course, the Southern Hills Golf Tournament. [1:30] And it was all over control of Jai alai, all the money that came out of Jai alai. This thing, it just, it was a web of deceit that reached into the highest levels of federal law enforcement, as you could tell from what Mr. Huff was saying. [1:44] And so I'm going to tell you the story of t...

In this marathon edition of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul dissect the week's swirling controversies with their trademark mix of deep analysis and irreverent banter. They start by unraveling the frenzy over the newly released Epstein documents, exploring whether the files are a genuine threat to entrenched power or a sophisticated psyop designed to fracture the MAGA movement. The hosts debate Trump's cryptic statements about Obama creating the Epstein narrative, and consider the morality of blackmail as a tool for control, even if wielded by “good guys.” The discussion then pivots to John Solomon's explosive claim of a decade-long RICO investigation targeting Russiagate conspirators and the entire anti-Trump apparatus. They examine how such a conspiracy case could finally deliver accountability while cautioning listeners not to “stand on the rug” of yet another promised revelation. Along the way, the pair explore the possibility of military government, the philosophical pitfalls of confirmation bias, and whether normies can ever absorb the scale of corruption. The episode is an unfiltered ride through speculation, strategy, and the ongoing quest for truth.
In this rollicking episode of The Liberty Den, a rotating crew of Badlands Media hosts dive into a sprawling discussion that zigzags from personal ice maker obsessions to conspiracies worthy of a thriller. The group debates the rumored showdown between Dan Bongino, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi, weighing whether it's genuine infighting or political theater designed to confuse and distract. They break down John Solomon's bombshell reporting about an ongoing criminal conspiracy case tracing back to Russiagate, Hillary Clinton, and the CIA, all the way to the 2020 election and beyond. The conversation shifts into theories about timing, the possibility of a RICO case encompassing years of misconduct, and what mass accountability could look like. Amid the heavy topics, there's plenty of irreverent banter about Bitcoin as the unstoppable plan, band camp confessions, pickleball firefighting, and a few tongue-in-cheek product pitches. By the end, the hosts muse about whether public spectacle and reality TV might be the only way to root out corruption once and for all.

Remember when MySpace was the center of your social universe? Our hosts take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about custom backgrounds, auto-playing songs, and the mysterious fate of MySpace Tom (spoiler: he's living his best life as a wildlife photographer). This trip through digital history quickly gives way to the shocking developments in week four of Diddy's RICO trial, where testimony from a hotel security worker reveals a $100,000 payment to secure surveillance footage that supposedly "could ruin" the music mogul.The conversation reaches its boiling point during an explosive debate about the DDG and Halle Bailey relationship drama, with leaked text messages shifting public perception. Our hosts passionately argue whether gender bias influences how relationship conflicts are perceived, challenging listeners to question how easily we form opinions based on limited information. "We don't know these people," one host reminds us, "We only know what they put out."The episode concludes with a powerful conversation about body shaming on social media, as one host reveals the cruel comments she received on a simple TikTok about men's colognes. Her defiant response—"I made more than half the niggas on TikTok. My tax bracket is amazing"—serves as a reminder that online harassment often says more about the commenter than the target.Whether you're fascinated by celebrity drama, concerned about social media's impact, or simply enjoy authentic, unfiltered conversations, this episode delivers raw perspectives that will have you questioning your own social media consumption and the snap judgments we all make.
