Ken Silva joins Scott to talk about a recent three-hour interview he did with Andreas Strassmeir, a German national whose name has come up often in discussions of the Oklahoma City Bombing. Specifically, Silva was talking to Strassmeir about Showtime’s depiction of him in their new miniseries about the lead-up to the OKC bombing. Scott and Silva listen to some clips from the interview and reflect on how Strassmeir’s claims fit into their understanding of the event.
