Best-selling author Gerald Posner (Case Closed) joins The Brief: Insights From The Inside to break down the JFK assassination—what the evidence shows, what it doesn’t, and why it became “the mother of all conspiracy theories.” We cover Lee Harvey Oswald’s motives and Mexico City trip, the Zapruder film, the grassy knoll and ear-witness confusion, the House Select Committee’s infamous dictabelt error, autopsy photos/X-rays, Jack Ruby, and why CIA/Mafia/Castro/KGB/Mossad narratives don’t fit the facts.

Camargo details election illegitimacy, cartel ties, why “America First means securing our borders,” and what Gen Z gets wrong about socialism vs. capitalism.
