Date: Sunday - April 23, 2017
Host: George Knapp
Guests: Mark Gorton, Ralph Natale, Dan Pearson
JFK Assassination/ Inside the Mafia
First Half: About 6 years ago, quite by accident, Mark Gorton, CEO of Tower Research and founder of finance and technology companies, took a passing interest in the assassination of JFK. His research took him on a path into the dark underbelly of the CIA, and from there, he traced a web of criminality that ran through sections of federal government and business interests. He joins George Knapp to discuss how the criminal network behind JFK’s assassination did not retire after his killing and instead, the need to cover up past crimes has motivated them to commit even more crimes in a never ending cycle.
Second Half: As the last Don of the Philadelphia mob, Ralph Natale, is the first-ever mob boss to turn state’s evidence, providing an insider’s perspective on the mafia. Natale will join the program with his biographer, Dan Pearson, to discuss how Natale’s reign atop the Philadelphia and New Jersey underworlds brought the region’s mafia back to prominence in the 1990s, until he was betrayed by his men and decided to testify against them in a stunning turn of events.
