The host keeps interrupting his guest with inane comments and questions thereby killing any momentum the guest can generate. Unfortunate because the guest had much of interest to share.
Does Fingeroth discuss Ruby's sexuality? What kind of 'biography' leaves out a man's sexuality? Does Fingeroth comment on why Ruby never married or fathered children? What about Ruby's obsession with anti-balding medications, or the meds he took to combat syphilis? Ruby appeared to testify before the 1947 Un-American Activities committee at the behest of Senator Richard Nixon. Does that get a mention? What kind of biography is this ?? .
How violent that anti-- antisemitism guys can be, we all know too well today in this era of Netanyahu and Guivere etc. BTW, I am one of those guys who watched Ruby shoot Oswald on TV.
legend has it that Ruby's Shearith Israel temple of conservative Judaism in Dallas had its stained glass mosaic taken a pot shot at in the year of 1963, we can bet our bottom dollar they'd be ready to pin that on Oswald as well.
Did he say Kennedy was killed on Friday, just before Shabbos? What a strange thing to say, unless he is trying to tell us something about rituals and Jews.
How can you possibly claim to know Ruby when you fail to find out he was gay, never mention his live in gay partners and friends, nor mention his drug abuse?? This guy is wasting your time with superficiality.
He may have taken some pills that weekend, which only increases the likelihood his shooting of Oswald was the result of his irrational tendencies including his violent temper, and whether Mr. Senator was his gay partner or not is totally irrelevant; just another smear tactic against gays.
the lifestyle evidence goes both ways, just like he might have, plenty hints he may have been gay but nobody ever says it was true, they in fact all deny it for him
@@TheHeavensFellen - No son, there is no doubt whatsoever, there are only those who do not know what they're talking about because they haven't taken the time to know who he was, such as yourself for example. There is no mystery here, he was gay.
@@stddisclaimer8020 - Then why would I say it son. Are his male lovers evidence? How about his flaming gay long term 'roomate' son? Ever heard of George Senator? Senator even referred to Ruby as "my boyfriend" during the Warren Commission hearing. You ever read the Warren testimonies? Hello?? Then there's his live-in male hustler partner Larry Crafard who took care of Ruby's cute little doggies whom Ruby called his 'children'? You wondered why Ruby never married perhaps? Crafard was Ruby's 'fetch it' boy who lived in Ruby's club and took care of day to day tasks. They met through Crafard's male hustling. You wouldn't know anything about these people son, you're only a lone nutter whose learning stops in 1964 for some reason. LOL . Just for grins, if you behave I'll tell you a little something about General Walker that you knew nothing about either. .
Great interview, excellent guest. I'll be purchasing the audiobook. Thanks!
Excellent discussion
I found this informative. I was 6 when this happened and still learn something new.

@39:45, one brother of Ruby kept their full family surname, Hyman Rubenstein I think it was. The other brothers shortened it to Ruby.
They want to blend in ...
Interesting interview, but Krimstein needs to stop interrupting.

Don't waste your time here folks.
ill see, some of the best sources on Ruby are the jewish archives
hey, if Rabbi Silverman is discussed than its got value
@@TheHeavensFellen - If those archives say nothing about Ruby's sexuality, then you must ask what else is missing.

@@ghostdance56 Ruby was not "gay." No credible evidence supports the idea.
