Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick to the show and they discuss the possibility of the existence of a “Deep State” within the US Government.  They examine the facts that today’s politicians or decision-makers have too many conflicts of interest between their roles within the government and Corporate America.  Another example is the recent occurrence where the new Ambassador to China could not get a 15-minute meeting with either President Biden or Vice-President Harris.  Sanchez asserts that this was not the President’s or the Vice-President’s decision, but rather the advice of another group of war-profiteering advisors that is dead-set on keeping China in an adversarial position against the US.  They conclude that the US got to its position as a world leader by being strong and aggressive; but are we happier for it?  Would we be willing to trade our technological advancements and creature comforts for world peace?

Rick Sanchez welcomes author Jefferson Morley to discuss the JFK assassination and all of the red tape and roadblocks that have been put in place by the US government that has delayed making the file open to the public.  Morley claims that many witnesses, including the President’s own secret service agents, claimed that the shots that killed President Kennedy came from the grassy knoll and not the book depository.  The doctor that performed the autopsy said in his report that the bullet that killed JFK entered through the front of his head and not the back.  Why is the CIA so keen on keeping the file closed?  Are they trying to hide their complicity or their incompetence?  Morley and Sanchez agree that until that file is made public, we may never know.

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick to discuss happiness and the mistakes people make trying to achieve it.  They both agree that fear of failure is the biggest detriment to success and happiness.  Another detriment is taking things for granted and not pausing to appreciate the moment.  When striving for happiness you must be proactive.  Stop thinking about it and take action, and don’t get caught waiting for the bus… start running.  We waste too much time worrying about the problem instead of attacking it.  Sanchez concludes that you must live for now, live for yourself and enjoy the process.  Remember that happiness is not a destination, but rather it’s all about the journey.
