Presidents, Vice Presidents, and Assassinations

Hello and welcome to another conversation about conflict on an Angry Planet. Thanks for letting us kick up our heels this August, it was a rough one. We may not have been releasing, but we WERE recording.

The first episode upon our return is with terrorism and vice presidency expert Aaron Mannes. Mannes is lecturer at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy and was one of the first people to use big data sets to study terrorist group behavior. These days he’s really into vice presidents. We sat down with him for a wide-ranging conversation that covered everything from Aaron Burr to the Bonus Army.

• Why are America and Israel all-in on assassination?
• International relations versus the domestic tensions
• Stats out of dead bodies
• Assassination: Obama Style
• The terrorist’s dilemma
• Matthew immediately figures out how wrong he is
• The case for Aaron Burr
• The Bonus Army
• Taking a shot at the vice president
