Reading #Spare together with my #daughter. I kinda love that the guy’s blowing it all up. Feels like he’s doing it for his mother. Writing is really good too. #SparePrinceHarry #PrinceHarry #newbook

Oh man, LA-based PI @DetectiveNils was on this morning with some eye-popping stuff about all things #EpsteinCoverup: 960weli.iheart.com/featured/the-v… #EpsteinIsland #EpsteinFiles #MI6

VinniePenn's tweet card. Grevillius has seen it all! His take on the DOJ, FBI - and MI6 - as it pertains to Epstein is like nothing you're hearing anywhere else

If I can be so bold, I believe #FantasticFour would have been the late, great #StanLee’s favorite @Marvel movie of them all. #JackKirby’s too. If you grew up on #Marvel in the ‘70’s prepare to geek out. Watch “At The Movies”: wtnh.com/entertainment-… #MovieReview #VanessaKirby

DO NOT MISS: @jakedell73 was on The #vinniepenn Project this morning with a very clear message for #Connecticut’s Attorney General #williamtong. Remaining silent on this will NOT be tolerated. We will make noise EVERY day: 960weli.iheart.com/featured/the-v… @GovNedLamont #children #church

VinniePenn's tweet card. Despite letters from Pastor Dell of Woodbury, two senators, and even video footage of clergy misconduct involving children, CT's Attorney General would rather rage about Trump

Vinnie Penn@VinniePenn · Jul 24

File this under “Selective Silence”. But @jakedell73 has #connecticut’s #Constitution on his side: 960weli.iheart.com/featured/the-v… #AttorneyGeneral @Project_Veritas #clergy #children @CTCentinal

VinniePenn's tweet card. Connecticut's Attorney General has been doing a whole lot of yelling these days - yet he's oddly quiet about a simmering clergy controversy

A major highlight in my career as a broadcaster: Legendary filmmaker #FrancisFordCoppola! We talk #TheGodfather, #Megalopolis, #Italy, #pizza, if The Thunderbolt does exist… 960weli.iheart.com/featured/the-v… @capitoltheatre @LiveNation #Filmmaking #legend #icon #Italy #wine #FederalHill

VinniePenn's tweet card. From his recent opus 'Megalopolis' to, of course, 'The Godfather', Penn talked to the Oscar-winning legendary filmmaker about tons - even his wine!

So, #SNL will be next, right? Except it won’t. Why? Two words: Ratings & Revenue. If #Colbert didn’t get canceled - A YEAR FROM NOW no less; no doubt full of #Trump slams - he’d be busy comparing the #ColdplayConcert guy to Trump. Every day this 🤡 is working a Trump angle.

CChris Murphy 🟧@ChrisMurphyCT · Jul 19

If you refuse to see what is happening, the cancellation of the Colbert show should open your eyes. I want to explain to you what a censorship state looks like - where a corrupt government gives favors to media that suppresses criticism of the regime.

So, #Netflix has a new #1 show, #Untamed, a series about a federal agent investigating an apparent murder in #Yosemite. It stars #EricBana and #DaredevilBornAgain star #WilsonBethel. I talked to him about both series, and that improv’d tap on #CharlieCox: iheart.com/podcast/463-th…

So now #Trump is even to blame for #StephenColbert’s show getting canceled. Yeesh. But he has 365 more monologues bet now and when it goes off the air. See if they’re suddenly pro-Trump. I doubt they will be. Daytime & late night TV have been in decline for years. Blame streaming

The (basically) third #IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer is the best one. Killer (pun intended) callbacks to the original. #Rihanna’s #Smurfs movie is here too. I looooved the Smurfs in HS: wtnh.com/entertainment-… #MovieReview #MovieNight #IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer2025

I think posting a clip of a guy w/ a woman getting called out by #chrismartin at a @coldplay concert is one thing. I think doing detective work, posting it w/ names, where they work, posting his wife’s name is VERY dangerous. Who knows what one might do to someone or themselves?

Ever hear of #diquat? If you’re a #Connecticut #fisherman you have. And you’re PISSED OFF. Check out this call from Friday’s show: 960weli.iheart.com/featured/the-v… @ChrisWebby @GovNedLamont #fishinglife #CTRiver

VinniePenn's tweet card. A prominent CT fisherman called in to The Project this morning to discuss ongoing petitions regarding spraying diquat and other chemicals

In the midst of some hearty laughs, @megynkelly made a really important observation about the “evening news”: 960weli.iheart.com/featured/the-v… #journalism #vanity #news #DavidMuir #ChrisCuomo

VinniePenn's tweet card. Megyn Kelly took potshots at David Muir's "vanity", but ultimately made an important observation about what's happening in the evening news world
