Contract pilot Robert “Tosh” Plumlee claims he was in Dallas on a secret mission to stop the hit… only to find himself inside it. Alongside journalist Ralph Pezzullo, he exposes a shadow world built on deception, deniable assets, and illusionary warfare. GUESTS: Robert Tosh Plumlee is a former contract pilot who claims deep involvement in covert Cold War operations tied to anti-Castro missions, CIA-linked aviation, and deniable intelligence activity. In Deep Cover, Shallow Graves, he alleges he was positioned in Dallas during the JFK assassination as part of an “abort team,” offering a rare insider account of clandestine operations and psychological warfare. Ralph Pezzullo is a veteran journalist and bestselling author known for translating complex, high-stakes real-world events into gripping narratives. With a background in investigative storytelling, he brings structure, context, and historical weight to Plumlee’s explosive claims—challenging the official narrative surrounding November 22, 1963.
