Baker explains his years of research pinpointing Bush in Tyler, Texas at the moment of the assassination, tied to a declassified document showing he called the FBI in Houston to report a possible suspect, and how Bush's signature ironically declassified the very documents that exposed him.
- 52:55George H.W. Bush was in Tyler, Texas at 1:45 p.m. on November 22, 1963 — we know this because he called the FBI.
- 53:20The Oliver Stone JFK movie came out when Bush was president during a tough reelection campaign, triggering Congressional efforts to declassify JFK documents.
- 53:42Congress voted unanimously or near-unanimously to declassify everything, forcing Bush to sign off on documents about his own involvement.
- 53:57J. Edgar Hoover put these documents on the record to push back against the CIA in their ongoing power struggle — the actual deep state.
- 54:18The deep state isn't a cabal with devil worship; it's factions within the FBI, CIA, and military pursuing their own interests with like-minded people.
- 55:08An FBI Houston office agent documented a call from someone claiming to be George Bush, an oil man, saying he might have a lead on who shot the president.
- 55:40Bush publicly claimed he couldn't remember where he was that day and denies ever calling the FBI — yet his address appears in the declassified document.
- 55:57Tim challenges liberal media outlets to engage with declassified, unchallenged government documents rather than dismiss them outright.
