Watch Our YouTube Channel The Interview of Bob Nelson The Author of LBJ's Mortal Wound The Don Reynolds Story
It was only a handful of episodes ago, when listeners learned the story of Bobby Baker. Do you remember that episode when the very day the world stood still, mourning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy? Another story was unfolding in the shadows of Washington D.C. A story so explosive, it could have stopped Lyndon B. Johnson from ever becoming president.
You might remember that In a closed-door Senate hearing, a lone whistleblower, an insurance salesman named Don B. Reynolds, was giving testimony that implicated the Vice President himself. Testimony that touches upon a web of kickbacks, bribes, and political corruption. The allegations were severe enough to potentially lead to the impeachment, removal from office, and even prison time for LBJ.
But then, shots rang out in Dallas.
In the chaos that followed, that bombshell testimony vanished. The whistleblower, Don Reynolds, faced death threats and was forced to flee the country. He would live in exile for four years, haunted by what he knew. Chased now by the federal machinery that had been weaponized by LBJ to get him, including the IRS and the FBI. His story was buried.
Bob Nelson, the nephew of Don Reynolds has written a book that we all have come to know on this podcas…Bob is the author of the groundbreaking book, LBJ's Mortal Wound: The Don Reynolds Story. A book that has been out since June 2025. We got a chance to catch up with Bob and interview him for our You Tube Interview Series.

This isn't just a political scandal; it's a riveting family memoir about resilience, the high price of justice, and the courage it takes to give a voice to a story that was silenced for generations.
In the end, Bob nudges us all along to incorporate what is revealed in this book…to supplement our view on the legacy of LBJ….to understand the dark side of his being that so manifested itself… up close and personal for Bob’s uncle Buck to see and experience…
