had been waiting for oswald.o he's now driving to the western union, he gets the receipt for 11:17. he's with his precious dog sheba. now he used to refer to this dog as his child. he had no children, no family. this dog was everything to him. he leaves the dog in the car, walks over to the police station, which is down the block, so happens oswald comes out 30 seconds to a minute later, he shoots and kills him and, again, anyone who knew ruby would tell you he never would have left sheba in the car alone if he had been planning to do something like that knowing he'd be arrested. >> such a bizarre case and yet so consequential. dan, thank you very much. and, again, congratulations.

you know, lee harvey oswald lived in russia. he wanted to go back to cuba.ou know, those are real things to consider. and then there are the absurd things, right? lyndon johnson was actually the one behind this, that jack ruby and oswald were somehow related in some way. this he were body doubles and this and that. up say to yourself, how does this stuff happen? how do we allow ourselves, how does many people in the public allow themselves to be taken in by these conspiracies? and i think that that's one of the reasons why it's valuable to look back at the trial, for example, of jack ruby, to look back at the kennedy assassination because we are certainly seeing an enormous amount of conspiracy theories now. >> yeah. listen, it's fascinating when you learn the history of conspiracy theories, but i think this kennedy one was the biggest. we'll see how it holds up in history against the big lie. >> yep. >> but i certainly can't wait to read the book. dan, i'm so grateful that you're here. best of luck with the book. the book again is "kennedy's avenger," and i

lee harvey oswald lived in russia and wanted to go back to cuba and then absurd things.ld were related or body doubles. you say to yourself how does this stuff happen. how do we allow ourselves, how do the many people in the public allow themselves to be taken in by the conspiracies. and i think that is one of the reasons why it is valuable to look back at the trial for example of jack ruby. to look back at the kennedy assassination. we are seeing an enormous amount of conspiracy theories now. >> yeah. it is fascinating when you learn the history of conspiracy theories. but i think this kennedy one was the biggest. we will see how it holds up in history against the big lie. but i certainly can't wait to read the book. dan, so grateful you are here and best of luck with the book. "kennedy's avenger" and it is out today and make sure that you pick it up. dan abrhams writes great books and does great tv and radio as well. >> don, thanks for having me. >> next, he says that he does not know what the ufos are, but he would sure like to. former president barak obama talking al

lee oswald has been shot. >> that was a 1963 nbc "today" show report on the murder of lee harvey oswalds conviction later was appealed but ruby died in prison of lung cancer before a new trial date could be set. the entire ordeal is part of a wide network of conspiracy theories surrounding president kennedy's assassination. joining us now the author of "kend's avenger, the forgotten trial of jack ruby" written by dan abrams. it is great to see you. you've written a series of books where you dive head first into a piece of history that doesn't get a whole lot after tension so how did you arrive at this trial? >> well and this one in particular is amazing that it hadn't gotten more attention. because as you showed right there, this was the story of the early 1960s. and this trial was the story of 1964. i mean, the world's meefdia was at this case. and it was -- it was so high-profile, the fact that it's become a foot note to history, jack ruby's case, yes, the deliberation was relatively quick, but the trial itself was fascinating. i mean, there were celebrity witnesses, there were celebr

and i believe that oswald acted but didn't act alone. so there we are. but even more conspiracy theory as a kind of behavioral reflexive tick that we have may be as americans, maybe, simple example, and i just thought about this today when we were talking. your sports team loses an agonizing game. well, they probably really didn't lose. the refs lost it. there was a conspiracy. because the conference wants "x" team to win so they can make all of the money. i read this all the time on sports blogs. and i do it myself. they shouldn't have lost that game. i bet that ref was secretly a fan of "x." and there i am in that world, right? >> i imagine that you somehow stopped yourself from calling out the ohio buckeyes. >> i won't ask about connections, the fact that i was born in 1947, we'll leave that one. >> there are no coincidences. it's in the numbers. all right, so again as teachers, should we engage? oftentimes it's easy to shut down discussion and move on. right? it's a danger of getting into an extended debate with a student. you're in uncharted territo

right side of everybody's ears, is likely the reason that, forgive me, is likely the reason that oswald was able to get a third and fatal shot that went directly into the jaw and ear of the president and did result in the part of his brain splattering on the backseat. .. attempt the attempted assassination of ronald reagan. unlike jackie kennedy nancy reagan's after the way the agents saved him. she believed the >> you know what, that heroic moment. so many levels of heroism and hairtrigger reflexes on the part of the secret service is the result of therebuilding after the gut punch of kennedy's death . director rowley was everything he has into getting the money, getting patients, getting the technology and all that great in his choices and the choices of the directors follow are completely dedicated by the split-second decision of tim mccarthy to throw his arms up in his chest and take incoming bullets from john pinkley on the split-second decision of reagan's intel leader outside the hilton. as soon as he hears shots there is no where to look. he puts his hands on his shoulders and s

philip courso who writes the really popular the day after roswell is a firm advocate of the two oswalds theory of the kennedy assassination and goes further than that to say that the entire cold war was really just a cover to help develop anti-alien defense mechanisms. and you see this flood of roswell literature, through the '80s, through the '90s, that said, yes, the government covered it up and they didn't do it for our own good. donald keiaho was wrong. instead. it is a litany of misinformation and miss deeds. no longer is the air force this benign body trying to protect the public from national hysteria. now president truman sets up magic 12 in 1947 as a special government body to cover up the truth about ufos, presumably also in charge of those men in black. and this reaches such a crisis point that in 1994, the air force actually releases a report about roswell, a thousand pages long and you could still find this as i pulled it off for today on the the d.o.d. website. this is still very easily publicly available. and air force says, okay, actually we did lie to you about it being

afterward lee harvey oswald is arrested. president is murdered in the middle of the cold war lee harvey oswald is arrested. we got the guy and then jack ruby jumps out of a crowd in front of a row of cameras and police officers. a minor league gangster in dallas jumps out and shoots the person who shot the president in front of national tv. in the context of the cold war in the context of knowing that there is a national security state in the context of this the moving or just about really to be moving cultural anxieties of the 1960s. so, what do they do? they put earl warren the former governor of california and the chief justice at the supreme court in charge of the warren commission to investigate the kennedy assassination. this is a bid to say you need to trust us because if there's one person you can trust it is the chief justice of the supreme court the person who in the country, is that the top of our judicial branch he is going to be in charge of this commission and says he acted alone. one man. the warren commission

it wasn't just a question, if he had lived, if indicting and convicting lee harvey oswald. we needed to have the kennedy assassination committee, the warren commission report, to tell us what actually happened, how did he get the weapons, who else [ inaudible ]. might have been involved. commissions give us the full picture. for the present and history. >> for years, you were right, you were early on it, in in terms of the democratic perspective on it, which is re districting or gerrymandering. joe manchin is not against the for the people act because of the gerrymandering. it's because of the other things that are in it, the campaign finance, the presidential tax returns, the d.c. statehood stuff. why not take that stuff out and treat gerrymandering, as serious as it is, have it be a standalone bill, hold his feet to the fire, he'll have to support it and make it a clean sale? >> we try to work on senator manchin between now and the time the vote occurs. we need to focus on him and try to get him to the appropriate place. we also have to focus on republicans who are doing

i spoke to bri oswald, she's lived here her entire life and she said she's never been more hot or moreworried about the heat over and over again, every year, just getting hotter. she does not have air-conditioning. many here in the area do not have central ac, and so they're hoping to get some relief by the end of the day. erika. >> let's hope so, cami a bernal. thank you. >>> i'll see you tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. eastern. the news continues next with alisyn camerota. this may look like a regular movie night. but if you're a kid with diabetes, it's more. it's the simple act of enjoying time with friends, knowing you understand your glucose levels. ♪ - [announcer] when you earn a degree from southern new hampshire university, it's worth getting loud... - woo! i did it!

they tricked him into retweeting a picture of lee harvey oswald by writing, "@mattgaetz congressman, my grandpa's a big fan of yours and is a veteran. he would be thrilled if you could retweet this photo of him for memorial day. here he is as a young private first class." and then once matt gaetz did retweet it, the grandson changed the name on his account is "matt gaetz is a pedo," which was up there on matt gaetz' account, so he took it down. he got mattfished!

the defense said to the prosecution, will you stipulate that lee harvey oswald acted alone and prsosecutorsed, objection to relevance and the question goes unanswered. people don't address the questions because they didn't address the issues earlier, the conspiracy theories in my view flourished and that is why it is important to continue talking about these topics. because as we saw in the jack ruby trial, there were so many hints and suggestions. and look, they didn't know everything at the time. and so people were still asking very legitimate questions about what happened, who else might have been involved, et cetera. but i think that one of the problems was that in the '60s, people didn't take on in particular conspiracy theory about ruby head on because as we lay out in the book, based on the facts, it would have been almost impossible for ruby to have been part of a conspiracy. >> and that is the best thing we could do then and now. just lay out all of the facts and let people see for themselves where conspiracy theories don't add up. let people see it for themselves and i think that

afterwards, lee harvey oswald is arrested. the president is murdered in the middle of the cold war. we got the guy and then jack ruby jumps out of a crowd in front of a row of cameras and police officers, a minor league gangster in dallas, jumps out and shoots the person who shot the president in front of national tv. in the context of the cold war, in the context of knowing there's a national security state, in the context of the moving or just about really to be moving, cultural anxieties of the 1960s. what do they do? they put earl warren, former governor of california and chief justice of the supreme court, the warren committee. this is a bid to say, you need to trust us. if there's one person you can trust, it is the chief justice of the supreme court. the person who in the country is at the top of our judicial branch, he is going to be in charge of this commission and says, he acted alone, one man. the warren commission was not believed when it was issued. in november of 1963, 29% believe one man did it. 52% thought others involved and others had no opinion. as we move into th
