    Government Cheese: As Gouda as Gold

    Government Cheese: As Gouda as Gold

    **Discussion begins at 8:20**

    Picture this: Colleen on her couch perusing, scrolling across the infamous TikTok, and she stumbles across this one video that was quite shocking, something she's never heard of before. She gasped. She saved it. She sent it to Megan and Kait. It was a TikTok describing government cheese. Is the cheese in America controlled by the government? Is Dominoes stuffed crust pizza made from government cheese. When you go to Taco Bell and you get a steak quesadilla, is it government cheese? Let's talk about it.

    JFK Assassination Part 2: Conspiracy or Not?

    JFK Assassination Part 2: Conspiracy or Not?

    **Discussion begins at 7:00**

    November 22, 1963: The President and Vice President are on a campaign tour through Texas in preparation for the 1964 re-election.  Secret Service was told to back off so that the president seemed more “approachable”.  While riding in a convertible with his wife, Jackie, Texas governor John Connally, and Connally’s wife, Nellie, they departed Love Field.  The route had been published in the newspaper, and so thousands of residents had gathered along the streets, as the motorcade proceeded through the streets of downtown Dallas.  As it passed through Dealey Plaza at around 12:30 PM, shots rang out from the crowd.  The number of shots and originating location are up for debate, but in the end, Governor Conally and President Kennedy were shot, with Kennedy being pronounced dead approximately 30 minutes later at nearby Parkland Hospital.  Approximately 45 minutes later, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested.  The 24 year old marine veteran, and employee at the Texas School Book Depository, was accused of shooting and killing police officer J.D. Tippit with a different gun, before hiding out in a movie theater.  Within 2hrs of JFK’s murder, Oswald was in police custody and accused of both murders.  Unfortunately, he was shot while being escorted by police officers 48 hours later.  The gunman of his murder was identified as Jack Ruby, a local club owner with mob connections.  The following day, Kennedy is buried at Arlington National Cemetary.  But was this all tied up a little too neatly? Does the evidence match the public story?  Was JFK really assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone?  Or is there more to the story that has been covered up?

    Flat Earth

    Flat Earth

    **Discussion begins at 5:20**

    Have you ever like looked at the sun and tried to figure out the angle of the sunlight? Have you ever looked at your shadow or whatever? Have you ever actually seen the earth? Can we truly trust these alleged space images? The answer is simple. No. They are lying to us about one of the most important things. The shape of our planet. They tell us it's a sphere. But guys, there's just no way. Most definitely, we are living on a flat earth. And today I'm going to prove it to you.

    To Kill a Mockingbird: Conspiracies Surrounding Harper Lee

    To Kill a Mockingbird: Conspiracies Surrounding Harper Lee

    **Discussion begins at 2:40**

    Harper Lee published To Kill A Mockingbird in 1960, which went on to win the Pulitzer Prize the following year, and sell more than 40 million copies worldwide.  The coming of age story follows Scout and Jem Finch, as their father Atticus defends a falsely accused black man in 1930s Alabama.  The book was reportedly inspired by Harper Lee’s childhood memories from small town Monroeville, Alabama, where she lived next door to a young Truman Capote.  They remained best friends for many years.  However, following the publication of In Cold Blood in 1965,  Lee and Capote’s friendship began to disintegrate and Harper Lee became a bit of a recluse.  Apparently, Harper Lee was still “seen around town in sweatpants looking for bargains at a Dollar General Store, washing her clothes at a local Laundromat, drinking coffee at a McDonald’s”.  Was it resentment that Capote did not acknowledge Lee’s contributions to his work?  Or was it that Capote had actually written Lee’s one hit wonder and not received credit.
