‘You Need A Pitbull’: House Task Force To Probe Whether CIA Misled Congress On JFK Assassination
'We are working night and day to try to locate this document'
JFK files: What do these NEW documents reveal?
On Tuesday, March 18, the National Archives released over 80,000 pages of previously classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
What does this avalanche of new information reveal?
Glenn Beck and his chief researcher and security expert, Jason Buttrill, dig into what’s been revealed so far.
1. CIA memo / Gary Underhill
A CIA memo marked secret that’s dated July 19, 1967 included an excerpt from a June 1967 Ramparts magazine article, in which the story of Gary Underhill, a military intelligence veteran and CIA contractor, was told through the lens of his friend and confidant, who said that Underhill arrived at her place of residence in New Jersey shortly after Kennedy’s assassination. He was clearly “agitated” and blamed the president’s death on a CIA cabal.
He also allegedly indicated that he feared for his life. Six months later, Underhill was found dead in his apartment from a gunshot wound to the head. His death was ruled a suicide.
Glenn notes that while the story about Underhill has long been known, the CIA’s explicit documentation of the Ramparts article is news.
2. Oswald was a “poor shot.”
“The KGB watched Oswald closely while he was in the USSR, but files indicated that Oswald was a poor shot when he tried target practice in the Soviet Union,” says Glenn.
3. Letter about Oswald’s alleged plotting
“Another detail released was a letter sent by a man in 1978. He was a Soviet, and he made this comment to the British embassy. He claimed that he was detained in London on July 18, 1963, and questioned by authorities. He said that he told them about Lee Harvey Oswald, saying he planned to kill the president. He added that he warned American Vice Consul Tom Blackshire of the plans of Oswald, who was trying to defect to Russia,” Glenn reads, adding that this points to government incompetence.
“Right now, there is no ‘who’; there is no ‘okay, this is the person who pulled the trigger,”’ says Buttrill. “There's no deflection from the official Warren Commission report so far.”
The information that has been sifted through thus far certainly “[provides] more context,” though.

Meet the new task force that aims to EXPOSE the government’s darkest secrets
Americans are sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for President Trump’s executive order declassifying the JFK, RFK, and MLK files to come full circle. After decades of secrets, the truth about these assassinations is supposedly right around the corner.
However, there’s been no shortage of pushback on this executive order. It’s clear that not everyone is in favor of the truth getting out.
Glenn Beck recently met with Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R), who has been tapped to lead the House Oversight Committee's Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets.
This task force, she says, will make sure that the declassification President Trump ordered actually comes to fruition and that Americans get the full truth.
“Just because President Trump signed an executive order doesn't mean that bureaucrats in these intelligence agencies won't attempt to block it, so we want to make sure that that's followed through, and we do have punitive authority to hold them accountable if they don't,” she told Glenn.
As for the JFK files, Luna said that she believes that much of the information that has been pushed is “faulty.”
“I do believe that there were two shooters,” she admitted, noting how autopsy reports indicated more than one entry wound.
She also warned that anyone trying to push back against declassification or discredit information shouldn’t be trusted — “If you really have nothing to hide, then you should not be afraid of the questioning; you should not be afraid of information getting out to the American people,” she said.
In the coming days, open congressional hearings will take place, during which new evidence will be presented and people who were formally written off will have their chance to speak. Granted Kash Patel is confirmed, he will also bring forth files that have long been concealed.
Glenn can’t help but be concerned, though: If Congress gets involved, won’t that just slow the process down and possibly even prevent the files from being declassified?
“The whole purpose and objective of this task force is actually to ensure that with President Trump's executive order that the agencies and the bureaucrats in those agencies do exactly what that executive order says, which is to declassify. So we're not going to be siloing or holding any information that won't be available to the American people,” Luna assured. “We are simply reopening the investigation with new evidence, also bringing in credible witnesses that will be verified and confirmed via the House Oversight Committee itself.”
As for the Epstein client list, Luna says that she is pushing for its release, but Attorney General Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, granted he is confirmed, will be the ones to make that decision. Both have spoken in favor of declassifying it.

GOP rep to head task force to declassify JFK files, Epstein client list
Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida announced Tuesday that she was appointed to chair a new task force aimed at declassifying federal secrets.
The task force will focus on declassifying records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Luna will also be investigating materials pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein's client list, documents related to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack, the origins of COVID-19, and UFOs.
'This will be a relentless pursuit of truth and transparency, and we will not stop until the American people have the answers they deserve.'
"For far too long, the federal government has not answered these questions," Chairman James Comer, who appointed Luna to the post, said during a press conference Tuesday. "This creates distrust in our institutions. That ends today."
"This will no longer be a task force that makes bold promises only to fade into irrelevance or send strongly worded letters," Luna said during the press conference. "This will be a relentless pursuit of truth and transparency, and we will not stop until the American people have the answers they deserve. We will cut through the bureaucracy, challenge the stonewalling, and ensure that the American people finally get the truth that they have been denied for far too long."
This task force emerged following President Donald Trump's historic executive order requiring the declassification of documents related to the assassinations of King and the Kennedys. Since then, the FBI has uncovered over 2,400 records tied to the assassination of President Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963.

JFK and MLK families unhappy about declassification. Are they afraid of the dark truth?
When President Donald Trump signed the executive order requiring the declassification of all documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the public was ecstatic.
After decades of conspiracy theories and wondering, finally the people will have their answers.
The enthusiasm of the general public, however, was not mirrored by the families of the victims.
“The Martin Luther King family has reacted to Trump's executive order, as has the JFK family,” Glenn Beck reports. Neither are thrilled with Trump’s decision to release the files.
“Declassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he’s not here to punch back,” John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, reacted.
MLK’s family members expressed hesitation and asked to be “provided the opportunity to review the files as a family prior to its public release.”
Many find these reactions strange. Shouldn’t the families of the victims want the public to know the truth about how their loved ones died?
Glenn says that what’s in these files may be so dark that the families are scared for the truth to get out.
For example, “The guy who is the Martin Luther King [Jr.] authorized biographer” — a Pulitzer Prize-winning author who even the King family has deemed credible — “has come out and said really bad things are in this file,” says Glenn.
Most people already know that King was a “philanderer,” but these files may contain evidence that King had affairs with upwards of 40 women.
Further, Glenn speculates that the MLK files may contain evidence that corroborates the 1964 blackmail letter written by the FBI accusing King of “immoral conduct lower than that of a beast.”
In the letter, the writer refers to a tape that allegedly documents all of King’s debaucheries.
“‘It is all there on the record, your sexual orgies. Listen to yourself you filthy, abnormal animal. You are on the record. You have been on the record — all your adulterous acts, your sexual orgies extending far into the past. ... There is but one way out for you. You better take it before your filthy, abnormal fraudulent self is bared to the nation,”’ Glenn reads from the letter.
That said, these soon-to-be-released files may contain the tape referred to in the letter, if such a tape exists and has not already been destroyed.
As for the John F. Kennedy files and the opposition expressed by JKF’s grandson, Glenn and co-host Stu Burguiere can’t understand why someone would want to obscure the true history of what happened — even if it paints their family in a negative light.
“If you want the country to survive, you have to be transparent,” says Glenn. And that goes for the assassinations of MLK, JFK, and RFK, as well as recent events, such as the truth about January 6, Russiagate, and the Biden crime family.
“Good or bad ... the American people deserve to know the truth,” says Stu.

Trump ushers in era of transparency, orders DECLASSIFICATION of JFK, RFK, and MLK files
When Americans voted for Donald Trump, they voted for transparency. The people have had enough of the lies that protect the deep state and leave them in the dark. Trump’s nominee for the next director of the FBI, Kash Patel, who has unabashedly supported declassification, has served as further proof that Trump is serious about rooting out corruption and bringing the truth to light.
Yesterday, he made his intentions to usher transparency into the federal government even clearer via an executive order that will declassify the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“That’s a big one, huh? A lot of people have been waiting for this for years, for decades. And everything will be revealed,” Trump said as he signed the order. He then passed his pen to a bystander and added, “Give that to RFK Jr.”
Sara Gonzales and contributors Matthew Marsden and Jaco Booyens dive into this breaking story.
“Promises made, promises kept,” says Sara, adding that this move is meant to “show the public that the American government has been working against the American people for a very, very long time.”
And Trump, as a victim of our weaponized government, is the perfect person to usher in this era of transparency.
“He's going to be in the top three presidents of all time if he keeps going like this,” says Marsden. “He's [untangling] this mess that has just festered and festered and gone on and on and on for years and years and years, and I'm here for it.”
Marsden adds that as horrible as the Biden regime was, Trump’s miraculous return to the White House “would never have happened” without “those four years of corruption.”
“It had to be that way for America to reset. It's like a re-founding that we're going through right now,” he says.
Sara is hoping that these declassifications won’t stop and that the public will finally get answers about Trump’s own near assassination.
“Let's go through all of those files, let's comb through what they know that they're not telling us because we know so very little about this man, this loner, this guy that kept to himself that just so happened to elude all of these Secret Service agents and local police,” she says.
“How did he get on the roof? He came through the metal detectors with a rangefinder? ... Why weren’t the Secret Service agents on the roof? ... Why wasn’t this in the perimeter of security in the first place?” she asks.
“There were so many things that didn’t add up, and you gotta believe that part of the reason Donald Trump is so hellbent on this is because it was only by the grace of God that he turned his head and didn’t end up like JFK.”
“Let’s not wait 30-40 years to learn” what happened, says Booyens. “Let’s learn that now.”
The panel agrees, however, that there’s a lot more that needs to be declassified in the coming days. From Benghazi to 9/11 to the Epstein list, the American people deserve to know the truth.
“Let's just go all the way and let that scalpel cut so clean and let the cookie crumble where it crumbles. If that means presidents fall, let them fall,” says Booyens.
