In the first half, researcher and author Donald Jeffries joined guest host Richard Syrett to discuss the suspicious nature of John F. Kennedy, Jr.'s death. He asserted that it's impossible the fatal plane crash was an accident.
Jeffries provided a critical timeline of events on that fateful day in July of 1999. "JFK Jr. was supposed to fly to Martha's Vineyard for the wedding of one of his cousins," he stated. "They left the New Jersey airport, and from that point, we don't know what happened." He focused on a 9:39 PM phone call made by JFK Jr. that received minimal attention from mainstream media.
According to the official timeline, the aircraft disappeared from radar shortly after this phone call, but search efforts were notably delayed. "The only thing that got them moving at all was when Ted Kennedy himself called President Clinton," Jeffries remarked. "They appeared to be looking in the wrong areas."
Reports initially described that night as having clear skies, not hazardous flying conditions as was later claimed. In addition, Jeffries mentioned accounts of an explosion around the time of the crash, hinting at the possibility of foul play. He referenced a lawyer and an unnamed reporter from the Martha's Vineyard Gazette who both claimed to have witnessed an explosion prior to the crash. "There was such secrecy surrounding what happened," he noted.
Jeffries explained how JFK Jr. "had an obsessive quest to find out who killed his father," and that "his desire to get into politics was propelled primarily by his interest in exposing the truth about his [father's] assassination." His research posits that JFK Jr.'s potential run for the Senate may have posed a threat to various powerful interests. He also expressed concern over the rapid cremation of the bodies and the lack of a thorough autopsy, noting how no comprehensive findings were released.

In the second half, rebel engineer Casey Putsch discussed his groundbreaking Omega Car, which challenges conventional automotive limits. With an astounding claim of achieving over 100 miles per gallon, Putsch's creation is a prototype that draws on his years of passion and experience in design and engineering.
He described the Omega Car as having a sleek, aerodynamic design that incorporates features to reduce drag effectively, including covered wheels and butterfly doors that open upwards.
Discussing the nature of current automotive technologies, Putsch stated, "The entirety of the industrialized world over the last 150 years is built on steel and powered by oil." He posits that the industry is entrenched in outdated practices and regulations that stifle innovation, saying, "Our automotive industry stinks."
Putsch believes diesel is a superior fuel choice compared to electric options, especially regarding energy density. He noted that his car could achieve a lower carbon footprint than current electric vehicles when considering the environmental toll of generating electricity. He also expressed frustration with the media's coverage of automobiles, claiming it has ignored his achievements while prioritizing control over innovation.
Putsch shared his aspiration to create various vehicles, including a family-sized car, as well as light- and heavy-duty trucks. All of these would be designed around efficiency and functionality. He estimates that his light truck could achieve upwards of 65 to 90 miles per gallon, depending on use.
"I'm going to keep going forward, and maybe at some point, the world won't be able to not take notice," he said. Putsch remains open to collaboration, suggesting that a deep-pocketed investor could help scale production, but he insists on maintaining creative control over his designs.
