Elephants in Rooms

Elephants in Rooms

Hi, I’m Ken LaCorte. I spent 20 years behind-the-scenes at Fox News and now host “Elephants in Rooms”. Here, we jump into topics that many people avoid and that the mainstream narrative often vilifies. Even when they’re true. If you’re looking for true insight into issues – without straw men or sensationalism – you’ve found the right place.

Then ask ... did Jeffrey Epstein really kill himself? It's easy to say "no way" but I dig into the facts in a way that I haven't seen done before.
