Soledad O'Brien

And so we've gotten very good feedback from people in red states, people in blue states.

A guy came up to me, we did a screening in Atlanta and he said, well, I'm pro, he was older guy, I'm pro-life.

But I really like this talk.

And so we've just been encouraging people.

It's on HBO Max just to go see it, watch it.

And if you like it or if you have questions about it, talk about it.

Because I think just getting awareness out there about an issue that's kind of disappeared from the headlines, partly because the headlines are overwhelmingly

kind of insane right now on every front, as you know, since you're delivering them all the time.

I think that a lot of kind of what's happening on the abortion front has really disappeared from the headlines.

And so we like bringing attention to it.

Imagine waking up one morning in the spring of 1976. You live in Washington, D.C., so as part of your morning routine, you make coffee, walk outside, and grab the morning edition of The Washington Post. As you sit and take your first hot sip of caffeine, you glance at the day's headlines. One catches your eye.

By 1976, the public had already learned about JFK's extramarital proclivities. But this time around, the real news was who this affair was with. Because not only was the president carrying on with a gorgeous artist and socialite, and not only had she done drugs with the president in the private residence of the White House...

But this woman, Mary Pinchot Meyer, had been murdered, too, just 11 months after the president's own assassination. And that's the moment you realize this story is a lot more complicated than you initially imagined. It appeared in the National Enquirer, a sensational supermarket tabloid.

What? Not only is it odd that this woman had been murdered months after the president himself, but somehow, for some reason, a CIA official had taken her diary and it was never seen again. If you haven't already let out a big old, huh, before seeing this fact, you sure have now. The real news wasn't that the president had had another affair.

Reading between the lines, it now seemed possible that the murder of his lover wasn't random. Because the date Mary Meyer was murdered was also mere weeks after the release of the Warren Commission's official report. A report that doubled down on the official lone gunman narrative of JFK's assassination. People in Mary's inner circle were already wondering what really happened to JFK.
