I said, who really killed John Kennedy? And he stared into his martini for a few minutes. He looked up at me and he said, well, let me say this. The Warren Commission was the biggest goddamn hoax in history. So I'm sorry, sir. I don't understand. What are you saying? So let me put it to you this way. Lyndon and I both wanted to be president, but I wasn't willing to kill for it.

And it was that that motivated me to go into five years of research to write my book, in which I concluded that Johnson, who as the Senate majority leader, took the very unusual step of appointing himself to the subcommittee of defense appropriations in the Senate, where the CIA's budget was secretly prepared, their black box budget. So Johnson was the paymaster for the CIA.

Johnson had also been receiving bribes from Carlos Marcelo, the gangster who ran gambling in Texas and Louisiana. And interestingly enough, the man who passed those bribes to LBJ, a man named Jack Haufer, got a presidential pardon two days after Lyndon Johnson became president. He had been convicted on some unrelated charge. Johnson also obviously was the water carrier for big Texas oil.

So I believe all of those entities had their own interests in the removal of John Kennedy. In the case of the Central Intelligence Agency, which is the focus of most of these disclosures, There were really two problems. One, the Bay of Pigs, which was the invasion of Cuba by the United States that was designed to look like an indigenous Cuban uprising.

The plan, which was born under Eisenhower in a working group headed by Vice President Richard Nixon, included air cover for the men storming the beaches that was supposed to be supplied by 29 Panamanian flagged fighter jets. piloted by Cuban pilots. For reasons we do not know, the CIA canceled that the day before the invasion. Consequently, the invasion was a fiasco.

The men storming the beaches in Cuba at the Bay of Pigs were cut to ribbons. Curtis LeMay, the head of the U.S. Air Force, at that point the Joint Chiefs, went to JFK and said the only way to save the day here is to send in the U.S. Air Force. Kennedy refused because that would have exposed that this was a U.S.-sponsored operation. The CIA blamed Kennedy. Kennedy blamed the CIA.

And then there's the Cuban Missile Crisis. We've been told that brave Jack and Bobby Kennedy faced down Nikita Khrushchev, who withdrew the missiles that he had stationed in Cuba 90 miles off our shore. But, Charlie, that's not true. Forty years later,

when documents were declassified, we learned what the military knew in real time, which was we removed our NATO missiles from Italy and Turkey in return for an agreement with Khrushchev to remove the missiles from Cuba. But that agreement had no on-site inspection. So there was deep distrust between the CIA and President Kennedy and therefore a motive.

We also know, and this can be quite well documented, that the intelligence services and the Secret Service had learned that John Kennedy had become addicted to methamphetamine. He was seeing Dr. Max Jacobson of New York, who was known also as Dr. Feelgood.

Dr. Jacobson was attending many of the beautiful people of the day, Frank Sinatra, the opera singer Maria Calle, Pablo Casals, Leonard Bernstein, Nelson Rockefeller. And he was injecting them with what they were told was a proprietary blend of vitamins and enzymes that would lift their energy. In fact, it was an early proprietary blend of methamphetamine.
