About this listen

For the next few weeks "Murder Weekly" will be playing select episodes from our sister show "Celebrity Trials". These shows however will feature only the cases involvoing murder! If you enjoy these shows, please check out "Celebrity Trials".

Reid Carter examines the assassination attempts that failed and what they cost America in freedom. From the two women who tried to kill Gerald Ford in three weeks to Reagan taking a bullet and joking about it, every failed attempt brought more security, more restrictions, more walls between us and democracy. The Congressional baseball shooting that nearly killed Steve Scalise. The Trump golf course attempt just last year. Each failure didn't just traumatize victims - it transformed America into a security state where politicians hide behind bulletproof glass and democracy happens at a distance. Sunday proves surviving assassination might be worse than dying.
