What did the president know and when did he know it? The president of South Vietnam, Ngo Dinh Diem, was overthrown in a bloody coup on November 1, 1963. Was it all the Vietnamese generals or how high up did foreknowledge of the coup go? The guest on this show is author John Prados of the National Security Archive.

Claire Conner was raised by two national leaders of the John Birch Society. Her new book is "Wrapped in the Flag," and she is a dedicated fighter for her country, trying desperately to make Americans realize that the John Birch Society is alive and well, and as she puts it, extremely dangerous. Moreso now than ever. Oh yes, today it's called the Tea Party. I highly recommend the book.
