0:00.0	Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret.
0:06.4	I'm your host, Jeff Crudell.
0:24.3	Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the podcast.
0:28.2	Today's episode is episode 172.
0:35.1	As promised, I indicated that we would do a quick recap of some of the more important topics that were covered and revealed in the last three episodes by

2:04.4	Ms. Mellon researched this book meticulously, as you have heard a couple of times already, interviewing over 1,000 witnesses, which was an incredible feat in and of itself. And as I've
2:13.4	pointed out in the past, she is a pro-Ggarison supporter, but not without doing her homework first.
2:22.1	Did all the witnesses tell her the truth? Probably not. Some of them were scoundrels in their own
