Hiroshima and Nagasaki

The great Charlie Pierce from Esquire.com and the Stephanie Miller Show joins me to discuss the assassination of John F. Kennedy, 60 years on. Our theories, our red flags, the conspiracy theories we reject, and why the murder of the president was such a history-changing event. We also get into the Warren Report, the House Select Committee investigation, and new revelations from a former Secret Service agent on duty in Dallas that day. And we also recapped the big election this week.
