The Kyle Anzalone Show [GUEST] Ken Silva : Assassinations and Cover Ups

A near miss by millimeters, a sniper who waited, and a teenager’s digital footprint that should have set off alarms—our conversation with investigative reporter Ken Silva digs into the attempted assassinations against Donald Trump, the shooting of Charlie Kirk, and the enduring mystery of the January 6 pipe bombs. We trace what the investigations missed, where the public record contradicts official lines, and how secrecy fuels the very conspiracies authorities claim to fight. We start with Butler: the rooftop angle outside a tight 150‑yard perimeter, the lack of snipers on a usable roof, and a timeline that shows a local officer interrupting the barrage before the final shot. Ken walks through newly surfaced Google account data tied to Thomas Crooks, revealing a pivot from pro‑Trump postings to violent fantasies during COVID—material that raises an uncomfortable question: how did nobody in law enforcement catch this? We also examine the autopsy and toxicology gaps that keep open basic questions about the shooter’s state of mind. From there, we move to the Charlie Kirk case. The alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, reportedly confessed to his father, but controversy remains over ballistics, surveillance footage that hasn’t been released, and gag orders that limit public scrutiny. The vantage point appears so precise that it implies prior scouting or help. When critical records stay sealed, speculation thrives. Ken outlines what evidence would close those loops without compromising a fair trial. Finally, we revisit the January 6 pipe bombs: conflicting timelines, a Secret Service sweep that didn’t prevent a device from being found near the DNC while Kamala Harris was present, and the operational effect of drawing resources at the worst possible moment. Gait analysis claiming to out the suspect may intrigue, but it’s not enough to name a culprit. The common thread across all three stories is the need for disciplined transparency—release the timelines, the raw footage, the forensics—and the courage to admit when procedures failed. If this kind of clear‑eyed scrutiny matters to you, follow the show, share this episode with a friend who wants facts over noise, and leave a review with the one question you want answered next.

The Kyle Anzalone Show [GUEST] Matt Hoh: Could Israel Go Nuclear on Iran? And Will Trump Really Stop the Ukraine War?

What happens when conscience collides with command? We dig into the duty to refuse illegal orders, why “just following orders” isn’t a shield under U.S. military law, and how real-world pressures push service members toward compliance even when red flags are waving. Drawing on the Nuremberg legacy and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, we lay out the reasonable person standard, the gray zones operators face, and the information gaps created by tempo, classification, and deference to the chain of command. The debate isn’t abstract. We tackle drone strikes and maritime interdictions that occur far from declared battlefields, where targets are labeled threats without due process and legality is assumed rather than tested. We also unpack the political firestorm around lawmakers telling troops to refuse unlawful orders, the backlash from prominent figures in Washington, and why specificity matters if you want to help real people making life-or-death choices under orders. From there, we turn to Gaza and the West Bank, mapping how a “truce” can mask a harder reality on the ground: concentrated control of land and water, constrained aid, and an approach to settlement and displacement designed to be incremental and quiet rather than spectacular and condemned. We examine the strategic logic behind slow-motion annexation, the global signals that enable it, and the human consequences that follow—especially for families facing medical collapse and shrinking horizons. It all connects to a single theme: accountability. A credible military requires lawful orders and the courage to refuse unlawful ones. A sustainable foreign policy demands consistency between values and actions. If this conversation challenged your assumptions or gave you a clearer framework for thinking about duty, law, and Gaza, share it with a friend, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review with the one question you still want answered.

DHP Ep. 89 Reissue: The Christmas Truce

(This is a Christmas-season reissue of a vintage DHP episode made all the way back in 2015.) In the cold, damp, muddy ditches of the Western Front in December, 1914, the rank-and-file of the Allied and German armies spontaneously set aside their hatreds to take a break from mass-murdering each other, much to the dismay of their so-called ‘leaders.’ Join CJ as he discusses: * The context of the Christmas Truce * How it happened * The aftermath, legacy, and lessons to be learned from it Now through the end of the year, you can sign up to support CJ on Patreon & use coupon code 1225 to save 25% off any level of annual pledge, or 25% off your first month of a monthly pledge!
