0:00.0	Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret.
0:06.0	I'm your host, Jeff Crudell.
0:08.0	I'm your host, Jeff Crudell. The President Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the podcast.
0:47.9	Today's episode is episode 191, and it's the second in a mini-series wander that we are doing on the Secret Service.
0:55.4	And the question of whether the Secret Service or some element of it may have been involved in a wider conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy.
1:03.4	We got started on this wander in the last episode, really as a result of some of the controversy that is beginning to brew around the book that's
1:11.5	about to come out in the next couple of weeks by an 88-year-old Secret Service agent Paul Landis,
1:17.6	who was there participating in the presidential motorcade in Dallas in Dealey Plaza on November 22,
1:25.6	1963.
1:33.2	And as you know, we have elected to avoid the discussion around whether or not Mr. Landis's claim is legitimate, and rather to reinvigorate the general discussion around the performance of the
1:40.1	Secret Service before, during, and in the aftermath of the assassination. As you know, I like to

1:58.7	And there is no doubt we can heap a lot of criticism on the
2:01.7	Warren Commission for things that may or may not have done correctly or thoroughly, but there is
2:06.5	no doubt that they acknowledge the deficiencies of the Secret Service and their culpability
2:11.6	in the assassination of the President. But as you might expect, their articulation of that was done carefully,
2:19.8	and rightly so. But again, we always have to consider the source when we are making our own
2:26.1	conclusions on what to believe and what to be skeptical about. Again, I think to be objective,
2:33.6	we have to start with what was a fairly exhaustive and significant
2:37.5	discussion of these topics by the Warren Commission itself. And so, over the course of the next
2:44.3	several episodes, we're actually going to read verbatim what was in the Warren Commission about
