To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the JFK assassination we're setting the wayback machine to 2018 when I spoke with Helen O'Donnell. Helen is an accomplished author and historian as well as the daughter of President Kennedy’s chief of staff Kenny O’Donnell -- you might recognize Kenny from Kevin Costner’s portrayal of him in the stellar film about the Cuban Missile Crisis, Thirteen Days. Helen’s new book -- out now -- is called Launching LBJ: How A Kennedy Insider Helped Define Johnson's Presidency, culled from Kenny O’Donnell’s tapes and journals about the early days of the Johnson administration following Kennedy’s assassination.

It's Cliff Schecter Day again on the podcast, the last of 2023! Today, we got serious about fascism, eliminationism, the violent rhetoric in Congress, and Project 2025. We also talked about what we'll do personally if Trump ends up winning and starts arresting anyone who was mean to him. Plus, how do we convince people that voting for Trump because of inflation is a terrible idea. And Cliff weighed in on how Ohio Republicans are trying to gut Issue 1.

Trump circulates post calling for citizen's arrest of Letitia James and Judge Engoron. Jenna Ellis says Trump never intended to leave office, and Sidney Powell describes what Trump's staffers told him about the election. Trump's plans for camps and deportations.
