Summary
Ray McGovern was an analyst at the CIA for almost 30 years. He briefed seven US presidents, starting with JFK, the same year he was assassinated (by the CIA, as confirmed by Ray). It's not easy finding a guest who not only worked for the CIA, but worked there this long. Ray chatted to me about JFK, Israel, China, Russia, and all the bad stuff the CIA was involved in.
