Summary
Frankie Val marks a grim anniversary: 30 years since TWA Flight 800 went down off Long Island. Forget the official spark-in-the-fuel-tank story. Frankie walks through Jack Cashill's reporting, a whistleblower's account, and the Crick vs. Raytheon lawsuit that quietly got shuttered in early 2026. Along the way, expect a tour of the government's greatest "we would never do that, would they?" hits, from Project Sunshine to subway bacteria experiments. There's also a look at why NBC, ABC, and even Fox reportedly skipped Trump's prime time address on election machines, plus callers sharing their own red pill moments (Charlottesville choke points, Hillary's barking, and 2020 bleach coverage all make appearances). Add wildfire smoke over New York, giveaways, and a live watch party, and you have a classic sprawling Frankie night.
