Then, author Brad Meltzer returns to the show to talk about his new book, “The JFK Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill Kennedy”. They also discuss how America’s greatest threat has changed through the years, JFK’s World War 2 heroism, the two types of presidential assassins, why it’s impossible to predict the next terrorist plot, and giving the commencement speech at his alma mater.
