Join us for this Special Extended Edition of our program where we remember JFK on the 60th anniversary of his death and delve into the lasting mystery surrounding who may have actually been behind his murder. The history of presidential pardons is chronicled, where we uncover the heartwarming story of the very first presidential pardon, the little boy, behind it, and why this tradition continues. We admire the spirited French march against antisemitism and we discover who all got involved in this show of solidarity. A Dallas Cowboy gives inspiration to all, and we look at what started the beloved NFL tradition behind the Cowboys playing on Thanksgiving day. Pilgrims and Native Americans have always been intertwined into our oral Thanksgiving tradition. Who is the real hero behind it, and how was he able to bring 50 years of peace on this continent? A caucus we will go, as we explain how these unusual elections work in this week's PoliSci for the Normal Guy feature. Partisan divide has become too extreme in this country. How much should fear it? We explore what is behind our terrible divide, what can be done about it, and how could it be dangerous for this country.
