Ep 76: LBJ (Part 7)

The Texas oil boom of the early 20th century created fortunes for a few enterprising individuals, who would go on to become powerful figures in the business world. Some of those men also exercised their influence in the political realm. And since we’re talking about Texas, the wealthiest oil men all knew Lyndon Johnson. In this episode, we’ll explore the careers and relationships of H.L. Hunt, D.H. Byrd, Sid Richardson, and Clint Murchison. Did these Texas oil tycoons have a reason to want to get rid of President Kennedy? And, more importantly, if they did want JFK out of office, did they take any actions to accomplish that objective? Patreon - Patreon.com/solvingJFKTwitter - https://twitter.com/solvingjfk Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/solvingjfk Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/solvingjfkpodcast Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@solvingjfk Transcripts and Sources - https://www.solvingjfkpodcast.comOur Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code JFK for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.com* Check out Thompson Cigars and use my code JFK for a great deal: www.thompsoncigar.com/JFK Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Om Podcasten

Solving JFK examines each issue in the JFK Assassination by looking at the arguments from both those who believe Oswald acted alone and those who believe there was a conspiracy to kill president Kennedy. Host Matt Crumpton analyzes each tree in the forest and then zooms out to look at the big picture. Objective truth is the paramount goal of the podcast, with every factual proposition cited. In season one, we look at whether the Warren Report got it right that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin, and if not, what the open questions are that still need to be resolved.
