    Jefferson Morley, author and researcher, discusses his interest in the CIA and the JFK assassination. He explains that his aunt's connection to the CIA sparked his curiosity, and his reporting on the CIA's role in Central America led him to delve deeper into the agency's activities. Morley emphasizes that his books are not JFK conspiracy theories, but rather explore the CIA's involvement in the events surrounding the assassination. He also discusses the ongoing litigation to release JFK records and the lack of transparency from the CIA. The lack of corroboration and the unavailability of full testimony from key witnesses, such as Lee Bowers, hinder the investigation into the JFK assassination. However, advancements in technology, such as the internet and digital analysis, have greatly assisted in research and analysis of the assassination. The JFK collection is being digitized, allowing anyone with an internet connection to study the records. The Zapruder film and the Air Force One tape have provided new evidence and insights into the assassination. Jim Garrison, while not the original trailblazer in JFK assassination research, played a significant role in bringing attention to the inconsistencies in the official story. Movies like 'Executive Action' and 'JFK' have influenced public perception, but they are not evidence. The assassination and its aftermath have had a profound impact on government accountability, foreign policy, and public trust in the government.

    We have a very special guest today. If you are a football fan, especially of the NFL and the Oakland Raiders, this gentleman needs no introduction. He was drafted by the Raiders in 1971 out of Bowling Green State after a sterling performance in the Senior Bowl and was the 1971 AFC Defensive Rookie of the Year. He was involved in one of the most famous plays in sports and NFL history, the Immaculate Reception play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1972 AFC Playoffs. He was also in the nostalgic Sea of Hands game against the Miami Dolphins in the 1974 AFC Playoffs. He was a Super Bowl winner in Super Bowl XI, in which he made a momentum-changing goal -line tackle that forced a Minnesota Vikings fumble recovered by the Raiders, who handily defeated the Vikings 32-14. One of the fastest linebackers of his era, known for his big playmaking ability and coverage skills, he made 5 Pro Bowls over his 13 NFL seasons with Oakland from 1971 to 1979 and then Buffalo from 1980 to 1983. After his football playing days were done he has enjoyed a very successful career in the logistics business. In 2018, he was inducted into the Senior Bowl Hall of Fame. In 2019 he was a Senior Class candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
