And on some level, it's – yeah, it's – I always think it's just a commentary where 1963 America was – it wasn't like Leave it to Beaver. It was like a really crazy country underneath the surface. Absolutely. And even though probably most of the conspiracy theories are wrong, it was like Murder on the Orient Express and all these people – sort of had different reasons for wanting Kennedy dead.
And that's what the theories are right, even if they're wrong on the level of factual detail. And then the sort of more minimal one that I'm open to, and I think there's some evidence in this from the stuff that has come out, is, you know, Oswald was talking to parts of the US deep state.
And so even if Oswald was the lone assassin, and you somehow get the magic bullet theory and all that stuff to work, but let's say Oswald was the lone assassin. Did he tell someone in the FBI or CIA, you know, I'm going to go kill Kennedy tomorrow? And then, you know, maybe the CIA didn't have to kill him. They just had to do nothing, just had to sit on it.
Or maybe he was too incompetent and didn't go up the bureaucracy. And so it's, you know, I think we sort of know that they talked to Oswald before. You know, a fair amount before before it happened. And and so there's at least something, you know, that was grossly incompetent.
Probably some amount of LSD that's dangerous for you. Probably an enormous amount.
I think there's a slightly...
less crazy version that might still be true which is just that uh people in the secret service in the um biden administration don't like trump and it's they didn't have full intention to kill him but it's just they didn't protect him we're just we're just you know we're gonna have we're gonna understaff it we're um we're not gonna we don't have to do as good a job coordinating with the local police there's all these ways you know to make someone less safe
It's always a question who they is though. Right. Well, if I'm a sniper and I'm on the – People in the audience. There were people there telling it to people. Right.
Well, I suspect some of the Secret Service people were told that and then – Who knows how that got relayed or who all is they?
Secret service that I don't know about the snipers. I don't know about – the thing I don't have a good sense on with shooting, and maybe you'd have a better feel for this, is my – My sense is it was a pretty straightforward shot for the guy and the Trump assassin would be assassin. I think the Oswald shot was a much harder one because Kennedy's moving.
Let me go back. Back to Mike. I thought it was a much easier shot. It's not an easy head shot. He's shooting at his head. But why was shooting at the head the right thing? Shouldn't you be shooting at the middle of the body?
How good was Oswald's scope?
Was there anything about the high angle from Oswald that made it harder?
That's the magic bullet theory.
And the Warren Commission's report – And obviously the Warren Commission whitewashed everything.
With the umbrellas as the pointers or whatever.
But then do you get to anything more concrete than my murder on the Orient Express where they're just – it could have been a lot of people.
The Russians, the Cubans, the mafia.
I think people were suspicious.
Oh, for sure. The Cuba version of the assassination theory was, you know, we had the Cuban Missile Crisis in 62 about a year earlier. And then the deal happened. that we struck with the Soviets was, you know, they take the missiles out of Cuba and we promised we wouldn't try to overthrow the government in Cuba. And I guess we
