Next up! Taylor talks about the assassin of the assassin - Jack Ruby! It’s the wildest weekend in American History - JFK is shot on Friday just after noon - Lee Harvey Oswald goes on the run, kills a cop, gets caught, is beat up by cops, needs a sweater, and is shot by local strip club owner Jack Ruby Sunday morning - ON LIVE TV - less than 48 hours after JFK died. 

We seriously don’t know how America recovered from this. Who was Jack Ruby? Did he happen to be in the right place at the right time to do what the cops couldn’t do? How many others would have done the same thing if they had the opportunity? Most importantly, what did we lose by not being able to interrogate Lee Harvey Oswald, and what did we gain by years of conspiracy theories?
