Probably no president has fascinated this country in our history as much as John F. Kennedy, J.F.K.

Everyone who lived through it remembers where they were when JFK was assassinated.

He's considered the golden boy of American politics. But I didn't know this amazing conspiracy that was happening right

before JFK took office. Best-selling thriller writer, Brad Meltzer, one of my favorite writers,

breaks it all down.

He just wrote a book called The JFK Conspiracy.

I highly recommend it.

And we talk about it right here on the show.

This isn't your average business podcast,

and he's not your average host.

This is the James Altasier show.

Brad Meltzer, author of the JFK conspiracy. Brad, welcome back to the podcast. Good to be back, my friend. Best

selling author. I think we've, last episode with you, we completely broke down as much as we could.

Your writing style and process. I tried to analyze what a Brad Meltzer book was. And you did it again

with the JFK conspiracy, which is sort of a fictionalized

version of the first assassination attempt on JFK. And I've read a ton of JFK biographies.

I did not know about this incident until I read your book. Yeah, and it's not fictionalized.

It's a true story. This is a real story that happened. We all know the story of Lee Harvey Oswald, killing JFK. But what no one, very few people know, and I didn't know until we started researching the book, is there was a plot in 1960 to kill JFK. It's true. This really all happened. There's 30 pages of footnotes in the back of this

book that JFK at the time in 1960 is coming out of his house. He's just been elected. There's a guy in a car

with seven sticks of dynamite waiting for him. He picks and waits for JFK to go and meets him in Palm Beach, Florida,

because he thinks that JFK's security is the weakest there, which he's right about that.

And he also knows that every day at just before 10 o'clock, JFK comes out on Sunday mornings to go to church.
