This is Part 7 of the mini-series that covers the story of Bobby Baker. This mini-series is part of a larger series covering Billy Sol Estes, Mac Wallace, Bobby Baker and other members of Johnson's Texas inner circle. All of these men were quite intertwined around Johnson at the time of the assassination. They were involved in circumstances that were closing in on Johnson too and that provided him great motive in the killing of the President. The story is extraordinary. Today's episode tells the story of the Quorum Club. Dubbed by Baker himself as one of his least notable accomplishments, it turned out to be a lightening rod in his own investigation. It was more than a watering hole, and it surely was a place to do business privately...regardless of what sort of private business you were planning to do. It would be a principal focus during the FBI investigation of Baker and Ellen Rometch and remain front and center in the overall corruption investigation conducted by the Senate of Bobby Baker.From Lyndon Johnson's vantage point, here was Bobby Baker who was known as Little Lyndon and was perhaps the second most powerful man in the senate. He was Bobby Baker the Secretary to the Majority, the right hand man of Lyndon Johnson in the senate....and just months before the assassination, allegations of wrong doing by Baker begin to surface. Baker declined to meet with Senators, and alternatively chose to resign his position as majority secretary of the Senate. Baker's resignation from one of the most powerful positions in the country happened just prior to the President's assassination and created a growing rumor that the scandal would lead back to Johnson and result in his political demise or more... The Republicans smelled blood in the water. Join us in this seventh episode of what is sure to be a fascinating series on another incredible story that envelopes around Lyndon Johnson at the time of the Kennedy assassination. Rumors of Johnson's involvement began to swirl almost immediately after the President's assassination and there is a defined school of thought within the JFK assassination research community that staunchly believes in Johnson's involvement. His involvement in both the assassination and its cover up. Join us in one of the most fascinating story tells of the Kennedy assassination and stick around as we will be returning to the Mexico City series right after we complete this min-series that was spawned by the recent release of the Billy Sol Estes and Cliff Carter tape that the two recorded in 1971. Folks, you just can't write this stuff. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Soon a scandal would be brewing around her and an FBI investigation would lead to her deportation. Was she a spy or just a party girl...the story of her steaming relationship with the President lurking in the background in this intriguing story of three dimensional chess.

This Wisconsin based company was the original source of Bobby Baker's wealth and from the earnings that came from this stock investment, there was much more to come with Bobby Baker. The investment, among other things, was the basis for a budding financial relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Novak, who eventually invested on Bobby's behalf in MGIC stock, made a profit and then parlayed all of that into a partnership with Baker to build the Carousel motel. The Carousel was Baker's ill fated attempt at building a resort in Ocean City. The partnership would take Mr. Novak down, but the question still lingers...did he die of suicide, or was he murdered...and did that murder result from the transaction gone awry related to the Carousel.From Lyndon Johnson's vantage point, here was Bobby Baker who was known as Little Lyndon and was perhaps the second most powerful man in the senate.

We temporarily leave the Billie Sol Estes Mini-Series and pivot now to a Mini-Series on Mac Wallace. Today's episode is the third in our story about Wallace as we cover the Douglas Kinser murder trial. Wallace was charged and convicted of the murder but received only a five year sentence which was suspended. In Texas at the time, this was a crime that for most people, would have put them in the electric chair. Defended by Lyndon Johnson's own attorney John Cofer and provided bail by two of Johnson's closer associates, the implications are that Johnson was at the very least taking steps to carefully control the trial and its outcome. Many believe that Johnson's objective was to keep his sister Josefa out of the trial and avoid perhaps exposing some of Johnson's corrupt practices. Others were more nefarious in their assessment of Johnson's motives, believing perhaps that Wallace was sent to silence Kinzer after Kinzer attempted to blackmail Johnson through Josefa. All of this possibly coming about, after Josefa said too much to Kinzer about Johnson's involvement in the 1948 stolen senate election and perhaps other dealings of Johnson. According to this line of thinking, Kinzer was attempting to strong arm Johnson and secure an SBA loan to improve the operations of his Pitch and Putt golf course.

Wallace was indeed a convicted murderer and we take you through the crime in this episode. The murder of Doug Kinser. It will be up to you to determine if this was a crime of passion that did not define who the rather intellectual Wallace really was, or whether it was symptomatic of his core and the cold blooded killer that Billie Sol Estes made him out to be. All of these men were quite intertwined around Johnson at the time of the assassination. They were involved in circumstances that were closing in on Johnson too and that provided him great motive in the killing of the President. The story is extraordinary.

Former Secret Service Agent Clint Hill died at his home in Belvedere California just a few days ago on February 21st, 2025. He was 93. He's the Secret Service man that will forever be remembered for his own courageous moment in Dealey Plaza. On November 22 1963, starting from one car behind, he would dash and land on the trunk of the presidential limousine….just moments after the fatal shot hit president Kennedy. As the famous films of that moment so vividly depict, and as the presidential limousine accelerated, he held on... and he gently nudged Mrs. Kennedy back into her seat. He did so after she had climbed onto the trunk of the limousine, Mrs. Kennedy herself at that moment in shock and desperately lunging to retrieve a part of her husbands brain and skull. Agent Hill would hold on tightly and continue to shield the president and Mrs. Kennedy as the limousine accelerated to speeds of up to 60 and 70 miles per hour during the ride to Parkland Hospital.His heritage was Norwegian. and he was from North Dakota. He was drafted into the United States Army, and wound up being trained as a counter intelligence officer. After the military, Hill would join the Secret Service and served on the presidential details beginning with Dwight Eisenhower. During the Kennedy years, he was assigned to guard the first lady Jacqueline Kennedy.We are reminded that he was the only Secret Service agent to take the dash. He was the only agent to offer his body as a human shield for the President and Mrs. Kennedy in those moments where there was still uncertainty. Uncertainty as to whether more shots would be forthcoming. It was too late for the President and it was Clint Hill's acknowledgment of that...with a thumbs down... to those in the Secret Service car just behind...and that would be the first moment of consciousness that our nation had lost its President…There is no doubt that the Secret Service deficiencies in Dallas contributed to the President's death. But, there is also no doubt that Hills courageous acts that day were exemplary. Just days after that moment in Dealey plaza, Agent Hill was honored for his bravery…a moment that he himself took little comfort in...With all of the controversy about the exact nature of the President's head wounds, there was likely no one that had more of an unfettered view of them then Clint Hill. He would hover over the top of the President…as they raced to Parkland, his view unimpeded by others for over five minutes, as they sped toward Parkland…with the rear of the President's head in plain view as it rested on Mrs. Kennedy.Clint Hill would remain as the Secret Service agent assigned to guard Jacqueline Kennedy until after the 1964 election. And then he was assigned to President Johnson, back at the White House. In 1967, Hill was named as the Special Agent In Charge (SAIC) at the White House. When Richard Nixon was elected, he became the SAIC for the vice president Spiro Agnew.Agent Hill retired from the Secret Service in 1975, but he lived with the horror of that moment in Dallas for the rest of his life. Like the Secret Service in general, he steadfastly believed that it was Lee Harvey Oswald and Oswald alone that fired the shots that day in Dallas. And he steadfastly maintained that three shots... and only three shots... were fired. It can safely be said that Clint Hill was one of the good guys. Rest in peace, Clint Hill.

Lee Harvey Oswald's trip to Mexico is one of the most mysterious aspects of the JFK assassination case, and some say it holds the key to understanding what really happened and who was actually involved. Today's episode Part 9 is the ninth episode in this miniseries and concludes the Russian Embassy story that we began in Part 8. In Part 9, we pick the action back up on Saturday morning with another Oswald visit to the Russian Embassy, in one last ditch effort to secure a Russian visa. In this episode, we continue reading rom the book Passport to Assassination which was written by one of the three KGB agents who worked in the Soviet Consulate and who dealt with Oswald during his visit that September. And we tell the story of Oswald's encounter with Valery Kostikov the famed KGB agent who worked in the Soviet Embassy and was a member of the 13th Department, responsible for sabotage and assassinations. The evidence in this part of the case is confounding and it may be one of the toughest assignments yet for all of us, including you, the jury, to sort through it all. Come join us as we review one of the most fascinating story tells regarding the JFK assassination, and as we borrow heavily from so many great researchers including the work of Jefferson Morley who wrote Our Man In Mexico and John Armstrong who wrote Harvey and Lee, two of the most detailed and spellbinding books every written on the JFK assassination. Investigations by others, including John Newman and Peter Dale Scott, and the HSCA's Lopez Report contribute to the richness of our story tell about what happened...really...in Mexico City....Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.
Lee Harvey Oswald's trip to Mexico is one of the most mysterious aspects of the JFK assassination case, and some say it holds the key to understanding what really happened and who was actually involved. Today's episode Part 8 is the eighth episode in this miniseries and the story tell continues in part 9 as well. We begin by listening to investigators from the HSCA and the ARRB who spent considerable effort to further the Mexico City investigation beyond where the Warren Commission left off. We then get back to Oswald in Mexico as Oswald finishes Friday. He is still vigorously pursuing visas to Cuba and Russia, but with no luck. By the time Friday is over, he has completed three visits to the Cuban Consulate and one visit to the Soviet Embassy. We pick the action back up on Saturday morning with Another Oswald visit to the Russian Embassy, in one last ditch effort to secure a Russian visa. In this episode, and in episode 245, we read from the book Passport to Assassination which was written by one of the three KGB agents who worked in the Soviet Consulate and who dealt with Oswald during his visit that September. And we tell the story of Oswald's encounter with Valery Kostikov the famed KGB agent who worked in the Soviet Embassy and was a member of the 13th Department, responsible for sabotage and assassinations. The episode also covers the strange follow on call allegedly made by Silvia Duran from the Cuban Consulate to the Soviet consulate at 11:51 AM that Saturday morning, where Duran hands the phone over so Oswald can speak once again to the Russians. The evidence in this part of the case is confounding and it may be one of the toughest assignments yet for all of us, including you, the jury, to sort through it all. Come join us as we review one of the most fascinating story tells regarding the JFK assassination, and as we borrow heavily from so many great researchers including the work of Jefferson Morley who wrote Our Man In Mexico and John Armstrong who wrote Harvey and Lee, two of the most detailed and spellbinding books every written on the JFK assassination.

Lee Harvey Oswald's trip to Mexico is one of the most mysterious aspects of the JFK assassination case, and some say it holds the key to understanding what really happened and who was actually involved. Today's episode Part 7 is the seventh episode in this miniseries. In Part 7 we pick the action up as Oswald has checked into the hotel in Mexico and now heads immediately to the Cuban Consulate in search of a transit visa. We follow Oswald on Friday's odyssey, including three visits to the Cuban Consulate and one visit to the Soviet Embassy. Oswald's efforts to obtain a transit visa that would allow him to travel to Cuba are ultimately thwarted that day, and some of the most important events of his visit happen on Friday including his only known and verifiable interaction with Silvia Duran. And some of the confounding questions begin to arise as well, on whether it was the authentic Oswald (or not) that visited the Cuban Consulate and the Soviet Embassy. And what to make of the phone calls to the Soviet Embassy in the minutes after his arrival in Mexico City. Calls that seem difficult for him to have made and that clearly don't seem to be Oswald, because they were spoken in Spanish, a language he could not speak. And luck would have it that his four visits that day, three to the Cuban Consulate and one to the Soviet Embassy, all escaped the America surveillance cameras with no photographs either taken or surviving for posterity. Was that accomplished for the reasons explained by the CIA, or was it done deliberately for another reason?We're exploring aspect of the Mexico City story that ultimately impacted what the government decided that it could not reveal and highlight about Mexico City at that moment...now just beginning to explore the curious role of the CIA and its involvement in the Mexico City affair.....and the plume of suspicions that Mexico creates for the CIA... Come join us as we take you through an entire mini-series of episodes that explore what we know and we don't know about Oswald and his trip to Mexico City. We will take you from the moment he left New Orleans and traveled to Mexico City, through his time there and his return to the United States.. That is...if he even went at all..to Mexico ....or rather if he was not the only Oswald who was in Mexico in late September and early October. The plot thickens almost immediately. The evidence in this part of the case is confounding and it may be one of the toughest assignments yet for all of us, including you, the jury, to sort through it all. Come join us as we review one of the most fascinating story tells regarding the JFK assassination, and as we borrow heavily from so many great researchers including the work of Jefferson Morley who wrote Our Man In Mexico and John Armstrong who wrote Harvey and Lee, two of the most detailed and spellbinding books every written on the JFK assassination.

Stay Tuned for an exciting next series that covers Oswald's trip to Mexico. This is undoubtedly one of the most intriguing aspects of the investigation. Filled with questions and contradictions and downright deception. Let's disect this one together as a logical place to go after the Clinton series. Oswald was in Clinton Louisiana in late August or Early September and somewhere around September 26th...just a few weeks later, he headed south over the border...for about a week...as the story goes...but, folks, you can't write this stuff...there is so much more to this story...and I am excited to begin telling it to you...episodes are coming....very soon...
Episode 236 is the thirteenth in a series of episodes where we begin to explore the radical right groups of the 1960's that clearly had great motive to murder president Kennedy. Emerging, alongside civil rights leaders, as a prime target for ire of white racists, anti-communists, and and a wide variety of other conservative groups, President Kennedy was a a target among them all. This aspect of the assassination and the connection of the radical right is little explored. We started many episodes back, with the story of Joseph Milteer but its rather easy to pull on that string and find much more underneath the covers. Today's episode a bonus episode covering more on the Clinton tie in and the litigation and investigations that defined those moments and the real reason Oswald was in Clinton. Today's episode supplements the two part mini-series on this topic. As a juror, listen to this episode as we tell the real story of why Lee Harvey Oswald's handlers took him to Clinton. Sit back as we explain how the social context of the story in part 1 which takes us all the way back to the House Un-American Committee and the Senate SiSS committee. Both of these government committees were actively investigating subversives at the time and engaged with Guy Bannister and others to help do so. Part 2 ties it all together and tells the story of how the raid at the Southern Conference Education Fund was an integral piece of this puzzle. Part 3 explores the larger Context of the fight in Clinton and why it was the tie in for the radical right and their violent resistance to the voter registration drives that were going on in the day. Clinton was a much larger historical factor than has previously been discussed in the JFK story. The story and explanations in this two part miniseries may be the most plausible explanation yet for what Oswald was doing in Clinton and the next episode 235 presents the details of why this seems so believable. Much of this theory comes from author Jeff Caufield's book entitled General Walker and the Murder of President Kennedy. As the jury, you be the judge of whether this was the real reason Oswald went to Clinton. And then ponder what it means for how Oswald might have been used in Dallas and just who deployed him there... Join us throughout this series on the radical right as we highlight th the nexus of ultra right wing characters that help us understand more intuitively how the radical right may have fit into the picture of the assassination. Characters that advance our understanding of the nexus of connections between a wide array of actors within the radical right. And with this exercise, we show how so many of these connections lead back to New Orleans and Dallas and to particular figures of the radical right including Guy Bannister. A nexus of connections with a common thread of hatred for President Kennedy. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.

Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.
A quick hello from your podcaster to you. I am back and happy to resume the production of episodes after a short hiatus. Stay tuned for the first of episode revival this weekend.
Episode 231 is the ninth in a series of episodes where we begin to explore the radical right groups of the 1960's that clearly had great motive to murder president Kennedy. Emerging, alongside civil rights leaders, as a prime target for ire of white racists, anti-communists, and and a wide variety of other conservative groups, President Kennedy was a a target among them all. This aspect of the assassination and the connection of the radical right is little explored. We started many episodes back, with the story of Joseph Milteer but its rather easy to pull on that string and find much more underneath the covers. Today's episode Part 9 contnues the story tell of the trip that Milteer took on Saturday and Sunday November 23rd and 24th to Columbia, South Carolina. Part 9 covers more of the details of the Q&A debrief of Somersett by the Miami Police Department on November 26th regarding the event. Milteer would first stop in Jacksonsville and pick up Willie Somersett at the Union bus station. From there they would proceed to Columbia, staying overnight and meeting the next day with four men, three of whom were identified members of the South Carolina Ku Klux Klan. The discussions that were had that weekend between Somersett and Milteer on their drive to Columbia and back, and while they were meeting with the Klansman, solidify in Somersett's mind that Milteer was in the know about the JFK assassination. Somersett was confident that the conspiracy had emanated from Miami, New Orleans and California based on comments that Milteer made to him.. What is miraculous regarding these statements by Milteer is that they were made over the weekend following the president's assassination and they were relayed by Somersett to the Miami Police Department Detective on the case just days later. The interrogation and Q&A are preserved in transcription and are extraordianry for their content, timing and then documentation within days of the assassination. The broader story of Milteer brings together a greater element of societal underground. We hear of the traditional groups and study them including the KKK, the John Birch Society, the White Citizens Councils, The National States Rights Party and the Minutemen. These handful of groups were intertwined with men who weaved their way in and out of the shadowy existence of this intense resistance to societal change.Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.
