The assassination of President John F. Kennedy

0:02

is the greatest murder mystery in American

0:05

history. I

0:09

was sixteen years old when it happened, and

0:11

it has never left me. That's

0:14

Rob Briner, creative powerhouse

0:16

behind the films when Harry met Sally

0:19

the Princess Bride, to name a few.

0:21

Recently, Rob called me sold At

0:24

O'Brien and asked me what I knew about this crime

0:26

which happened sixty years ago.

0:28

I know the government's first investigation

0:31

concluded that a lone gunman named

0:33

Lee Harvey Oswald killed the president.

0:36

I also know that fifteen years later

0:38

the government backtracked on that story

0:41

and said the assassination was a result

0:44

of a conspiracy.

0:46

Sixty years later, new leads

0:48

are still emerging. To me, an

0:50

award winning journalist, that's the

0:53

making of an incredible story. And

0:55

on this podcast you're going to hear it

0:57

told by one of America's greatest

1:00

storytellers. So,

1:03

Rob, you're the one who's done the reporting

1:05

on the story. So I'm going to let

1:07

you lead me on this journey. Okay,

1:10

Well, to solve any murder, you

1:12

started the scene of the crime. Kennedy apparently

1:15

got him he fell fate down

1:17

in back seat of his car. The single bullet

1:20

sery holds that one bullet

1:22

entered the President's back, moved upward.

1:25

Then when the bullet comes out, it's

1:28

moving again downward, leftward,

1:30

and forward turns in mid air.

1:33

How in the hell is that possible?

1:35

And we'll answer decades long questions

1:37

by talking directly to people

1:40

who were there. Missus Kennedy

1:42

stood up and right behind where she had

1:44

been sitting there was a princetine

1:47

bullet. Then we'll ask who

1:49

had the motive to assassinate a sitting

1:51

president. My dad five JFK

1:54

screwed us at the Bay of Pigs, and then he screwed

1:56

us after the Cuban missile crisis.

1:59

Then we'll pull the bur and back on the

2:01

cover up. I've said that the agency

2:03

cooperated with us. I misspoke.

2:06

Were you mad? Furious? We'll

2:08

reveal why Lee Harvey Oswald isn't

2:10

who they said he was. I was under the

2:13

oppression that Lee was being trained

2:15

for a specific operation. Will

2:17

introduce you to people who attempted to reveal

2:19

the truth, only to pay the ultimate price.

2:22

He was chopped up and stuffed in oil

2:25

drama and thrown into the Viscayne Day

2:27

until eventually we make our way

2:29

back to Dallas. On November twenty second,

2:31

nineteen sixty three, I asked

2:33

my mom where's Papa, and

2:36

she said he's in Dallas on business. I'm

2:38

glanced by shoulder and I saw

2:40

packages on the backseat, and so I said,

2:43

what's in a package? Lee? What

2:45

does it matter for those of us who were born

2:48

after it happened? I think we miss

2:50

that sense of like what America lost.

2:53

President Kennedy's death was a profound

2:56

national trauma, the effects

2:58

of which are still felt to the

3:00

American people need to know the truth.
