TMI Show Ep 101: “JFK Assassination Files Released”

In this episode of TMI with Ted Rall and Manila Chan, the hosts dive into the National Archives’ recent release of JFK assassination files, spurred by an executive order from President Donald Trump. With over 63,000 pages unredacted, Ted and Manila unpack what’s new—and what’s still missing. They explore tantalizing details, like the CIA’s surveillance of Lee Harvey Oswald in Mexico City and Kennedy’s growing distrust of the agency post-Bay of Pigs, as revealed in a memo by Arthur Schlesinger Jr.

We don’t shy away from the letdown: no “smoking gun” upends the lone gunman narrative, leaving conspiracy theorists hungry for more. With sharp wit and skepticism, they debate whether this transparency push—tied to Trump’s alliance with RFK Jr.—clarifies history or just muddies it further.
