The Shadow Wars Behind Charlie Kirk's Ass*ssination EXPOSED by Andrew Bustamante | Ep. 258
All right guys, today’s episode is one you don’t want to miss. Less than a week after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we’re sitting down with someone who’s been on the inside of America’s shadow wars: Andrew Bustamante — former CIA officer, founder of Everyday Spy, host of the Everyday Spy podcast, and author of Shadow Cell, a book that pulls the curtain back on how America really fights its enemies.
We get into the uncomfortable truths about government, the intelligence community, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Hamas — and why history keeps repeating itself whether we like it or not. Andy doesn’t sugarcoat sh*t, and neither do I. So buckle up — this conversation goes deep into the stuff most people don’t want to talk about, but absolutely need to hear.
