Author and self-described trafficking survivor Kirby Sommers argues that the Franklin scandal, the Jeffrey Epstein ring and Hollywood abuse allegations are all parts of one multi-generational network tied to intelligence agencies. She traces alleged links from Gerald Ford's family history and the Ford modeling agency to Larry King of the Franklin case, Jack Ruby, Hunter S. Thompson, Jack Nicholson and the tunnels under the Playboy Mansion. Host Greg Carlwood also explores the idea that some celebrities, such as former British Army officer James Blunt, are placed into fame by military and handler families.
