In this episode we discuss big oil in the '50s and '60s, its political power and influence, and how JFK's positions regarding big oil (and big oil's tax breaks) changed during his time in office. We describe several Texan oil barons such as Clint Murchison and H.L. Hunt, review their political connections, and question what motives they might have had for wanting JFK out of office. Intro Music: 'Destructoid' by MK2. Outro Music: 'Strut Funk' by Dougie Wood. For feedback email: '[email protected]'; we'd love to hear from you!m
