The amazing story of the man who shot JF Kennedy.

Todd Wagner talks with James Files, a man claiming to be a former CIA operative and mob hitman. Files recounts his unbelievable life, from jumping out of a second-story window during a shootout to his involvement in the JFK assassination. He details his time with the Chicago mob, his relationship with figures like Jack Ruby and George H.W. Bush, and his participation in covert operations, including drug running and attempts to overthrow foreign governments. Files shares shocking stories of immediate, spur-of-the-moment missions, revealing a world far removed from the meticulously planned assassinations depicted in movies. He even discusses his views on modern politics and the deep state.

Prepare to question everything you thought you knew in this truly extraordinary podcast. Full episode premieres on YouTube at 8AM CST
