• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to JFK Book Reviews. My name is
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Joe BURRELLI and I am joined by Rob Clark. We
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: are the co hosts of the Lone Gunman podcast on YouTube,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and today we will be reviewing the book Judith very
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Baker in her own words by doctor Walter Brown. And
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I think this might be one of our first finner boys, Rob,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, don't smack it too hard, you don't want
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to break it.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Well, it helps you actually smacked it. There you go,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: it's a boy. It didn't break good, good well.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: It is one of our dinner ones that we've done recently.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: It is deceptively decent in length at two hundred and
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: forty six pages. This book was published in the year
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: twenty nineteen Joe by Cleaning Publishing and Companion Brothers Publishing.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Shout out Mike Swanson, Wallstreet Window dot Com for all
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: your stock trading and money needs no friend of the show.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: And Walt Brown has authored several books on the JFK assassination,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: including this one again on Amazon. For this book, I
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: have it on Kindle. I think it's two ninety nine.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: You can buy a copy like Joe has for about
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: twenty two bucks, and there's a copy on there for
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: four hundred and thirty three dollars and ninety eight cents
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: if you really really want to spend a lot of money.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know why. I mean, hopefully Walt Brown blessed
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: that with his own body. Maybe it's written in his
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: own blood or something. I don't know.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: We're the first one printed here.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Of course this book deals with a conspiracy lean
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: because the because Judith very Baker herself has conspiracy claims.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: So while it is a technically a conspiracy leaning book,
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: it is more of a myth busting.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Truth telling, setting the record straight kind of book. But
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: that means, said, Joe, take us into some of the
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: meat and taters of this book.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, what was the author's goal in writing
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: this book? Well, that is very obvious, and it was
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to show how ridiculous Judith Ferry Baker's claims about her
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: relationship with Lee Harvey Oswalt are. So. Judith Fry Baker,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in her own words, critically examines Baker's claims, primarily from
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: her book Me and Lee, How I Came to Know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Love and Lose Lee Harvey Oswalt. Baker search she was
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Lee Harvey Oswald's lover in nineteen fifty three in New
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Orleans and involved in a plot to develop a cancer
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: inducing bioweapon to kill Fidel Castro. She also claims Oswald
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: confided in her about the events tied to the JPA assassination,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: portraying him as a big trade figure trying to save
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: President Kennedy. Doctor Brown's book analyzes Baker's narrative, quoting her
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: extensively and juxtaposing her statements with his research to highlight
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: inconsistencies and question their validity. So let me read you
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: one passage, and this is Judith Barry Baker's in her
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: own words, a description of Jack Ruby's killing of Lee
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Harvey Oswald. Jack Ruby was an emotional man, no doubt.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: He wished he did not have to take this task
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: upon his own shoulders, and I think he almost backed out,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: but he loved quote the boy, as he called Lee
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: too much. Ruby was sterile and can never have a son.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Lee was so close. Lee was as close to a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: son as Jack Ruby ever had. So Jack went through
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: with it, though apparently he took his time. Jack might
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: have been the man who called the police and warned
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: them that someone might kill Lee Harvey Oswald. But I
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: believe that soon after he made this call, he probably
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: decided to do the job himself Ruby, instead of having
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Lee die at the hands of a stranger.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: So he wasn't shooting blanks that day, was he, Joe?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: He wasn't. And you know his his murder of Lee
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Harvey Asswalt was, according to Baker, an act of mercy,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: which kind of highlights some of the ridiculous claims that
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: she has. And I won't spoil it to give doctor
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Brown's commentary on that. But and it's interesting because Baker's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: statements like mix some truth in with her lies and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: execut right. So Ruby was, for instance, a very emotional
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: man and indeed did wait until the last second when
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: he had other opportunities to shoot Lee, like for example,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the midnight press conference. And in my experience, some of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the best liars mixed in truth with their exaggerations. But
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: back to the book, it is very well written and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: extremely in my opinion, and very easy to read and follow.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Along with the author's analysis of Judith Baker's claims. He
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: takes their claims one by one chronologically and systematically debunks them. However,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it is probably not a book for people just getting
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: into the JFK assassination, as the author assumes the reader
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: has a fair amount of knowledge and background in the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: assassination and the characters involved. The book does not have
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: an EndNote or index section, but it does provide sourcing
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: within the book as the timeline goes on, and he
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: provides evidence against Baker's claim, like quoting testimonies and depositions,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: but a lot of the debunking comes from his point
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of view and based on common sense accepted facts in
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the assassination. I would have personally liked a little more
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: sourcing in some areas, but but still really great. So
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to throw it back to you for your
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: thoughts and reading, sir.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Joe. So, I understand why Walt Brown wrote
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: this book in the style that he did. Again, there's
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: a fine line between libel and slander when you're just
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: writing a book that basically is calling somebody in their
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: entire life a liar. So he was very clever in
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: the way that he did this by using her own
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: words against her. It's very hard to argue that as
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: being libel or slander. And bravo to the publishing companies
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: for publishing this book. For those of those of us
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: in the JFK research community who understand people of the
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: ilk of Judith Barry Baker and the damage that they
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: do to the conspiracy side of things when they tried
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: to integrate themselves into the story and basically try to
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: lie and pull the wool over everyone's eyes that they
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: were somehow involved in the story or a part of something,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: or have intimate knowledge of the case. You know, if
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: if true, it's the most fantastical story that you've ever
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: heard about the assassination, which is why she probably should
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: have her book as a straight up fictional novel, because
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: that's what it was, instead of trying to pass it
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: off as a true non fiction historical event alongside her claims.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: For those of us who have looked into her past
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: and can understand where it is that she came from,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: why she inserted herself into the story, and her previous
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: claims prior to even writing a book, you know, you
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: have to kind of know all that to understand the
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: damage that she has done to this community. And I think, well,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I know what, like I said, I know why I didn't,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: But to understand the reason behind this book being written
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: you have to understand all of that as well. With
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: that being said, I did enjoy the book. I thought
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: it was very clever the way he did it. I
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: love his writing style, I love his humor. And with
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: that being said, Joe, I'm going to give this book
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: an eight out of ten guns up, baby.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: It's very solid, sir, And I'm kind of right there
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: with you. And you know, my did Judith very Baker
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: work at Riley Coffee Company with Oswalt for a brief
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: amount of time? Yes? Did they have any contact? Maybe,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: but you can't tell because she lies so much, so
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you can't take any of her claims seriously. But back
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to what the author was trying to achieve, I think
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he achieved exactly what he wanted to in this book
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: was to point out how ridiculous and insane her story
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and is about Lee Harvey Oswalt. So that being said,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give it a very solid seven point
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: five guns up, sir, and for three dollars on Kindle,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: it's definitely worth the read. If you have any questions
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: on due to very Baker's claims.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Very good advice, Joe. So with that, folks, if you
• 10:18
