0:00.0	Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret.
0:06.3	I'm your host, Jeff Crudell.
0:24.9	Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the podcast.
0:32.5	Today's episode is episode 273 and it's a short bonus episode where I tell a little more of the story that is the Quorum Club.
0:35.6	You see, originally I was planning on doing an entire episode on the Quorum

1:33.2	I think you'll find this bonus episode interesting, and that's why I hope you'll stick around and listen to it.
1:39.8	So, without further ado, let's listen to episode 273 of JFK, The Enduring Secret.
2:00.5	The Quorum Club was a private gentleman's club established in Washington, D.C. in 1961.
2:06.9	And as we know, it was founded by Bobby Baker.
2:10.9	And however we classify him, either by his formal title as secretary to the Senate majority,
2:16.6	or most importantly importantly as a longtime
2:19.4	political crony of then Vice President Lyndon Johnson. He was undoubtedly a Wheeler dealer. It was his
