Colorado Politics, JFK, and the Death of Trust

About this episode

The episode discusses Colorado politics and military history, focusing on JFK and public distrust following his assassination.

The Peter Boyles Show - May 23, 2026 HOUR 4:  Hour 4 bounced between Colorado politics and Military history. Callers criticized Victor Marx’s campaign style, heavy security presence, and media strategy, while Peter Boyles questioned whether Marx was building long-term personal branding more than a serious gubernatorial run. The second half turned into a deep discussion about JFK, Cuba, the Bay of Pigs, Khrushchev, Vietnam, and public distrust after the Kennedy assassination. Boyles argued the 1960s truly began with JFK’s death and ended with Nixon’s resignation, calling that era a permanent turning point in American political culture.
