  • Episode 273 Bobby Baker Part 7 Bonus Episode Featuring the Quorum Club
    Jun 3 2025

    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.

  • Episode 272 Bobby Baker Part 6 Oh, The Girls....And Let's Hear About Ellen Rometch
    Jun 2 2025

    This is Part 6 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 covers Bobby Baker' affinity for the girls...and how it led to the Ellen Rometsch affair. She went to work at the Quorum Club and quickly was introduced to President Kennedy. 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. The stir around Rometsch added to the pressure on Bobby Baker, but it also in the end, provided cover, because, after all, it was the President for God sake that had the affair, a relationship arranged through 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.

  • Episode 271 Bobby Baker Part 5 The Story of Magic ("MGIC")
    May 26 2025

    This is Part 5 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 covers Bobby Baker's investment in the Mortgage Guaranty Investment Corp ("MGIC") or Magic as it was known. 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. 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...

I have studied the JFK assassination in great detail and this podcast brings out new and relevant details.

Insightful

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.

Some nice tidbits of info among a lot of talking. Probably could have done it in half the episodes. I could swear he is saying "Osweld" not "Oswald". "Just saying" as Jeff says a million times. The word "wound" is pronounced with an ooh sound...not a long "o" ......wond???? Would not dwell on this stuff but it is constant and drives me nuts along with "without further adeiu" and "sleeping dogs lying"

VERY LONG WINDED

Highly recommended! Of all the programs on this subject this is the most objective, sane and the host makes it easy to grasp both the details and the big picture. Good one.

Top notch stuff on a complex and interesting topic

This guy's good! Even his "wanders" and southern accents (in impersonation of Dean Andrews) are way better than he gives himself credit for. He does this all while maintaining a balance and even-keel rare in podcasts of this topic. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in the JFK Assassination.

Maybe the best podcast devoted to this topic

…I’d devour a JFK conspiracy podcast. I’ve listened to each and all of Jeff’s episodes in the last 3 weeks. Fascinating, erudite, balanced, and absent the histrionics and “out there” assertions that often steer me away from this genre. He shies away from nothing, taking on it all, but always calling it as his well informed eyes see it.

Jeff’s side trips, and topical cul-de-sac stop offs to address collateral subjects are always a treat. His episodes on the history of Cuba and Fidel Castro are worthy of their own stand-alone topical podcast series.

And finally, Jeff’s humanity, his personal and family anecdotes, sharing joys and challenges with listeners is the absolute icing on the cake.

Try it. You’ll like.

Never Thought …

I have listened to this podcast since it began. It is well researched and delivered. More details on every conceivable aspect of the JFK assassination. If you’re into deep dives, this is the deepest.

Expertly detailed
