Hinweis: Diese Folge entstand gemeinsam mit Niklas & Hannes von Tatort Geschichte, zu denen ihr hier kommt!Elegant, charmant - und tödlich: Bugsy Siegel gilt als einer der bekanntesten amerikanischen Mobster des 20. Jahrhunderts. Als Gründungsmitglied der Kosher Nostra, dem jüdischen Pendant zur italienischen Mafia, bewegt sich Siegel in einer Welt aus Gewalt, Macht und Luxus. Zusammen mit seinem engen Vertrauten Meyer Lansky baut er ein Unterwelt-Imperium auf und wird von anderen Mafiagrößen wie Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Vito Genovese und Frank Costello geachtet und gefürchtet. Doch während Lansky strategisch und kontrolliert agiert, verliert Siegel zunehmend die Bodenhaftung. Sein Traum: ein Casino-Imperium mitten in der Wüste Nevadas. Das "Flamingo" in Las Vegas sollte nicht nur ein Hotel, sondern ein Denkmal seines Größenwahns werden. Die Baukosten explodieren, Gelder werden veruntreut und damit der Sturz eines Gangsters eingeläutet, der mit Stil tötete und mit Arroganz verlor. Bugsy Siegel - der Gentleman-Gangster, der sich verzockte und schließlich als Vorlage in Mario Puzos “Der Pate” landete.…….WERBUNGDu willst dir die Rabatte unserer Werbepartner sichern?

José Luis Espert sobre el proyecto de ley de los 'dólares del colchón': “Se trata del proyecto de ley, principio de inocencia fiscal, que esta administración está enviando al Congreso. El 50% de la economía está en negro, y alguien que compraba 200 dólares era tratado como Al Capone. Fue el Estado el que les puso el arma en la mano y el Estado fue el que apretó el gatillo. Eso con nosotros se termina. Esta administración viene a cambiar de una vez por todas esta realidad hipócrita y este cambio comienza por un cambio conceptual. No son los argentinos los que están en falta con el Estado, es el Estado el que está en falta desde hace décadas, muchas décadas con los argentinos”.El titular de ARCA, Juan Pazo, agregó: “Los argentinos que durante años han salvado su plata de las manos de los políticos, adhiriendo a este régimen podrán usarla para lo que quieran sin tener que explicarle nada a nadie. Por eso instamos al pueblo a adherir a este régimen. Es sencillo, te adherís, pagás y te despreocupás. No te va a buscar nadie por los ahorros que te ganaste, porque son sólo tuyos. Nunca más un argentino de bien será perseguido por los burócratas de turno. Gracias a esta ley, las amenazas del Partido del Estado van a quedar en el pasado. También quiero agradecer a las 14 provincias que ya firmaron el convenio con la Nación y a las otras dos que ya comprometieron su firma para la semana que viene”.Guillermo Francos sobre la moratoria: “Nosotros tenemos, en cantidad de jubilaciones, tenemos 5.774.000. ¿Sabe cuántas jubilaciones de esas son sin moratoria y cuántas con moratoria? Sin moratoria, es decir, gente que ha hecho los aportes para jubilarse, 1.800.000. ¿Sabe cuántos son los que no hicieron los aportes y se jubilaron con moratoria? Es decir, con moratoria tenemos 3.900.000, el doble de jubilados. Estos son los distintos planes que se hicieron con el kirchnerismo y este es lo que ahora se prorrogó”.El jefe de Gabinete, Francos, se refirió a la situación del Hospital Garrahan: “El ministro de Salud tuvo una relación con el Hospital Güemes, que es un hospital de alta complejidad, también con similar equipamiento, con más camas todavía que el Garrahan, pero similar, digamos, y el costo era 60 millones de dólares anuales menos que el del Garrahan. Entonces, claramente ahí hay una utilización que no es eficiente de los recursos. Yo no digo que no tengan razón quienes reclaman mayores salarios, pero lo más debe saber que uno está en los recursos”.El secretario de Culto, Nahuel Sotelo, dijo: “IOMA, obra social de la provincia de Buenos Aires, le debe 4.000 millones de pesos al Garrahan. 4.000 millones de pesos. Y después se levanta la bandera de la salud. La provincia de Buenos Aires tiene 5 hospitales de gestión compartida.

In this episode, you'll learn how to use the common English expression “the coast is clear,” which means it's safe to proceed because no one is watching or in the way. After breaking down the literal and figurative meanings, as well as the origin, you'll hear three vivid examples—one featuring a mama bird, a cheating girlfriend, and shoplifting teens. The cultural spotlight of this episode is on Alcatraz, the infamous island prison off the coast of San Francisco. Once home to criminals like Al Capone, Alcatraz was considered escape-proof—until 1962, when Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers vanished in a daring and ingenious escape involving handmade dummies, a raft made of raincoats, and months of careful planning. Despite debris being found and decades of investigation, the trio was never seen again, making it the longest-running manhunt in U.S. history.

The Smaldone Family: Denver's Hidden Mafia Legacy

In this episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins takes listeners deep into a lesser-known corner of American mob history—Denver, Colorado. While most think of Denver as a gateway to the Rockies and a hub for skiing, few realize it also served as the long-standing stronghold of the Smaldone crime family. Gary uncovers the roots of organized crime in southern Colorado, beginning in Pueblo, where early mobster James Coletti, a one-time associate of the Bonanno crime family, helped lay the foundation. He and the infamous Carlino brothers, including Pete Carlino—dubbed the "Al Capone of Southern Colorado"—dominated bootlegging during Prohibition and attempted to expand northward. But peace efforts failed, and bloody gang wars soon erupted, culminating in drive-by shootings, betrayal, and ultimately murder. From there, the story shifts to Joe Roma, Denver's would-be peacemaker and one-time crime boss, whose 1933 assassination created a power vacuum. Into that void stepped the Smaldone brothers—Clyde (“Flip Flop”), Eugene (“Checkers”), and Clarence (“Chauncey”)—who would dominate Denver's underworld from the 1940s through the 1980s. Their North Denver restaurant, Gaetano's, became both a community staple and a notorious mob hangout. Gary details the family's criminal enterprises, from gambling, loan sharking, and bootlegging to jury tampering and racketeering, including the high-profile 1953 gambling raid that brought federal heat. But the Smaldones weren't just feared—they were admired by many locals for their generosity, community involvement, and quiet acts of charity. They donated to orphanages, covered college tuition, and ensured no one in the neighborhood went hungry, blurring the line between gangster and good neighbor. The episode also explores the Smaldones' national connections, including partnerships with mob bosses in St. Louis, Detroit, and Chicago. Gary breaks down their Las Vegas Riviera Casino skim, in collaboration with Anthony Giordano, and how FBI wiretaps and surveillance exposed their involvement in one of the Mafia's most lucrative rackets. Figures like “Fat Willie” Villano, a nephew of Checkers, handled casino marker collections, sometimes doubling as muscle for overdue debts. As always, Gary brings a thoughtful and grounded perspective, asking: Were the Smaldones cold-blooded criminals or Robin Hood-style community protectors? The truth lies somewhere in between.

Transcript In this episode, I delve deep into the intriguing world of organized crime in Denver, Colorado, a city not typically associated with mob activities. The focus of my research centers around the Small Dome family, who dominated the organized crime scene for several decades. Many listeners are surprised to learn that organized crime had roots in Denver, often overshadowed by its reputation as a skiing and outdoor paradise. But as we explore the historical timeline, we uncover how mob influence permeated this seemingly tranquil landscape. To kick off the narrative, I introduce the criminal origins in southern Colorado with figures like James Coletti, who made his reputation in Pueblo during the late 1950s. We examine Coletti's ties to the Bonanno family and his subsequent move to Pueblo, where he became embroiled in local organized crime.

Cette semaine, direction Cleveland au cœur des années 30 , juste après la Prohibition. Le grand héros de l'Amérique, Eliot Ness, célèbre pour avoir fait tomber Al Capone, prend la tête de la sécurité publique de la ville de Cleveland. Mais il va se retrouver face à une menace encore plus sombre qu'un baron du crime : un tueur en série insaisissable. Dans ce nouvel épisode de ComicsDiscovery, votre podcast préféré consacré à la bande dessinée américaine, nous explorons Torso, l'un des premiers titres de Brian Michael Bendis, co-écrit avec Marc Andreyko. Les deux auteurs nous plongent dans l'une des histoires les plus troublantes de leur ville natale, un fait divers glaçant adapté en comic book noir et publié en France chez Delcourt. Torso : du true crime en comics Qui sont les auteurs ?Si vous lisez régulièrement des comics, le nom de Brian Michael Bendis vous est certainement familier. Véritable pilier du comics américain des années 2000-2010, on lui doit des titres phares comme Ultimate Spider-Man, la création du célèbre Miles Morales, ou encore les grandes heures de Jessica Jones dans la série Alias. Il est reconnu pour sa capacité à donner vie à ses personnages à travers des dialogues réalistes et percutants. Plus surprenant : il est aussi le dessinateur de Torso, qu'il illustre dans un style brut, presque expressionniste, qui renforce l'ambiance oppressante du récit. De son côté, Marc Andreyko, co-auteur de Torso, est peut-être un peu moins médiatisé, mais tout aussi talentueux. Scénariste engagé, notamment en faveur de la cause LGBT+, il est l'auteur de titres marquants comme Manhunter chez DC Comics ou l'anthologie Love is Love, publiée en hommage aux victimes de la tuerie d'Orlando. Son écriture se distingue par une forte dimension humaine et sociale. The Cleveland Torso Murderer : un fait divers glaçantTorso adapte une histoire vraie, l'une des plus sombres de Cleveland. Entre 1934 et 1938, un tueur en série inconnu enlève des personnes défavorisées issues des bidonvilles, avant de disséminer des fragments de corps un peu partout dans la ville. La presse le surnommera le Cleveland Torso Murderer. Peu avant le début de ces crimes, Eliot Ness est nommé chef de la sécurité de la ville, chargé de superviser la police et les pompiers. Rapidement, le tueur s'amuse à le provoquer, allant jusqu'à déposer des cadavres à quelques mètres de son domicile. C'est cette traque haletante que Bendis et Andreyko mettent en scène dans leur roman graphique noir. Un contexte social lourdLa grande dépression frappe de plein fouet les États-Unis. Cleveland est envahie par des milliers de personnes à la recherche de travail. Beaucoup s'entassent dans des bidonvilles improvisés, qui deviennent le terrain de chasse du tueur. Sur la dizaine de meurtres, la police ne parviendra à identifier que deux victimes. Leurs histoires, comme celles des autres, restent largement méconnues. Malgré cette tragédie, Torso parvient à offrir un véritable témoignage historique. Le récit, sombre et intense, dévoile un pan oublié de l'histoire des États-Unis, tout en mettant en lumière les injustices sociales de l'époque. Bendis et Andreyko n'oublient jamais de donner une dimension humaine à leur enquête. Un comics marquant, entre enquête et témoignageTorso est une lecture incontournable pour les amateurs de true crime, de thrillers policiers et de bandes dessinées engagées. Le style visuel de Bendis, très éloigné de ce qu'il fera plus tard chez Marvel, donne une personnalité unique à l'ouvrage. C'est aussi l'occasion rare de découvrir l'un des seuls titres qu'il ait illustré lui-même. Que vous soyez passionné d'enquêtes criminelles, d'histoires vraies ou simplement curieux de découvrir un comics indépendant percutant, Torso mérite clairement un coup d'œil.

Why do the majority of veterans support and have loyalty for US President Donald Trump, when he has repeatedly shown them nothing but contempt? Trump has gone on the record saying that he thinks veterans are “suckers” and “losers”, and consistently votes to remove their rights and access to support. He disrespects their service, their sacrifice and was draft dodger himself. Is this the future and values of America that they fought for, and laid down their lives for? Let's talk about this perplexing phenomenon, because this past Memorial Day weekend, fallen veterans are rolling in their graves. In Episode 150 of The Bill Kelly Podcast, Bill reflects on Memorial Day, emphasizing its significance as a day of remembrance for those who served in the military. He discusses the historical context of military conflicts in the United States and questions the current state of American values under President Trump, particularly regarding his treatment of veterans and the erosion of rights. The conversation highlights the disconnect between the sacrifices made by service members and the current political climate, urging listeners to consider the implications of leadership and societal values.Become a YouTube channel member to hear Bill's stories and life lessons from 50+ years as a broadcast journalist in his members-only series, MORAL OF THE STORY: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUbzckOLocFzNeY1D72iCA/joinDon't forget to like, follow and subscribe across our channels!

En un país que perdió la capacidad de asombro cinco muertos en un supuesto enfrentamiento o tumbe en un punto de drogas parece que no merece una primera plana y no lo es. Este país ha llegado al punto del no asombro por nada.Yo no sé cuántas películas se han hecho de la masacre de San Valentín donde murieron 7 personas pero he visto por lo menos una decena y muchos libros e historias y no tengo que decir que Al Capone es un nombre conocido por titiri mundachi.Wyatt Eart y sus socios solo mataron a tres en el OK corral y no son menos famosos.Cinco muertos y dos heridos en un lugar tan pequeño como Loma de Cabrera deberían llamar la atención no solo de las autoridades sino de la población en general. El censo del 2022 indica que allí viven unas seis mil personas, o sea que casi uno de cada mil habitantes de Loma murió en una refriega por un punto de droga.El mismo día las autoridades decomisaron 720 paquetes de presunta  cocaína y 114 de presunta marihuana. Cuando lo pesen sabremos la cantidad real y se sumará a las 23 toneladas de droga que han sido decomisadas en lo que va de año y por lo cual el comandante Cabrera Ulloa ha recibido el encomio de dominicanos y extranjeros.El asunto pasa de la crónica al folklor. Un medio relata cómo los allanamientos posteriores a la matanza de Loma de Cabrera realizada en el municipio cabecera de Dajabón resultaron en un atrincheramiento que duró más de cinco horas. Traducido al lenguaje cinematográfico la matanza de Loma de cabrera ya da una película. Cinco horas atrincherados en una ciudad pequeña como Dajabón rodeados por Dintel, Dicrim y Swat y uno se pregunta con qué fuerza contaban esas personas para resistirse de tal manera al arresto.Cada cierto tiempo escuchamos casos como este sin asombro: El año pasado fue el relato de un sistema de control del acceso a Sabana de la Mar en manos de delincuentes que sabían quien entraba y quien salía y sobre todo dónde estaba la policia.La semana pasada el MP realizó diez allanamientos en la misma Sabana de la Mar en la que resultaron detenidos una decena de personas y sometidas a la justicia como parte de una red de narcolavado. Lo curioso es la manera en que se llega ahí porque el caso resaltó luego una decena de personas armadas liberara a una persona que había sido detenida por la DNCD y lo hiciera a punta de pistola.¿Cuánto poder hay que tener para resistir a tres cuerpos policiales durante cinco horas en Dajabón y cuánto poder hay que creer tener para liberar a punta de cañón a un preso?

By the mid-1920s, Al Capone was the undisputed kingpin of Chicago and was working feverishly to expand his empire. The only thing standing in the way of his ambitions was an overzealous Nebraska lawman known as Richard “Two Gun” Hart. The mysterious Hart claimed to be half Native American and appeared like something straight out of a Hollywood Western.

Alcatraz shut its cell doors more than 60 years ago, but its grip on the American imagination hasn't loosened. Each year, nearly a million and a half tourists ride the ferry across San Francisco Bay, through cold, choppy waters, to walk the crumbling corridors of the most infamous prison in U.S. history.  Visitors today frequently cite the desire to see the cellblocks that once confined legendary outlaws, Notorious gangsters such as Al Capone, George “Machine Gun” Kelly, and Robert “Birdman” Stroud were inmates here, cementing Alcatraz's image as the end of the line for incorrigible criminal offenders. I've included a link in the show notes to their “rap sheets” from the Warden's records. During its 29 years as a federal prison, Alcatraz gained a fearsome reputation for strict discipline and inescapable walls. Now, President Donald Trump says he wants to reopen and expand Alcatraz as a high-security federal prison. In this episode, I take a hard look at the history of The Rock—how it earned its reputation as escape-proof, the men it held, the myth it became, and why, even in ruins, it still casts a long shadow over American justice. The Warden's "Rap Sheets" for Alcatraz's infamous convicts.

The Willie Jackerson experiment

In this week's episode, we dive deep into the legendary story of Scarface — both the iconic Al Pacino film and the real-life criminal empire of Al Capone that inspired it. With gripping narration and historical insights from Weird History and The History Channel, we unravel the bloody rise of one of America's most infamous gangsters and the legacy of violence, power, and cultural impact he left behind.We bring the intensity to a new level with a metal version of “Gangster's Paradise” performed by UMC, capturing the raw emotion and chaos of the underworld Scarface ruled. Whether you're a true crime junkie, a metalhead, or just someone who loves cinematic legend, this episode blends storytelling, history, and heavy riffs like never before.

Home to the likes of Al Capone and George 'Machine Gun' Kelly, Alcatraz was once the jewel in the American prison system. The wind-swept island fortress was the final stop for the nation's most dangerous criminals and was thought to be escape-proof - at least, until one night in June 1962, when three men on an improvised raft slipped into the icy waters of San Francisco Bay, never to be seen again. President Donald Trump has said that he is determined to reopen this notorious prison, so today we're revisiting this episode, Jolene Babyak, a historian of Alcatraz and author of 'Breaking The Rock', to give you a potted history of this notorious penitentiary.Produced by James Hickmanna and edited by Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

It's Thursday, May 8th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Iran continues to imprison Christian pastor and wife Authorities in Iran continue to hold a pastor's wife, 56-year-old Lida Alexani, in solitary confinement after arresting the pastor, reports Article 18. Iranian-Armenian pastor Joseph Shahbazian was arrested in February and sent to the infamous Evin Prison in Tehran. He has faced prison time before for participating in a house church and collecting tithes. Authorities also arrested his wife last month. Iran has criminalized offering tithes to support church activities. The country is ranked ninth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  India launched air strikes on Pakistan On Tuesday, India launched air strikes on Pakistan. India said it was in retaliation for an attack last month from alleged Pakistani nationals. India and Pakistan are on the brink of a wider conflict. Local church leaders are calling for Christians to pray for the countries. Bishop Nadeem Kamran is the head of the Anglican Church of Pakistan's Diocese of Lahore. He told Christian Daily International, “As the fear of war looms over the subcontinent, I ask all Christians in the two countries to observe … a day of prayer and fasting for peace in the region.” In 1 Timothy 2:1-2, the Apostle Paul wrote, “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.” Trump's truce with Houthis On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced a truce with the Houthis in Yemen. The United States has been carrying out strikes on the Houthis in Yemen for weeks. This is in response to the Houthis attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. Despite the truce, the Houthis said they will continue attacks on Israel in support of Palestinians in Gaza. Listen to Trump's comments at an Oval Office meeting. TRUMP: “The Houthis have announced that they don't want to fight anymore. We will honor that. We will stop the bombings. They have capitulated.” Trump will rebuild and reopen Alcatraz off San Francisco coast President Trump announced Sunday he is directing the Bureau of Prisons to rebuild and reopen Alcatraz. The small island is located 1.25 miles offshore from San Francisco near the Golden Gate Strait. The island was developed in the mid-19th century with facilities for a lighthouse, a military fortification, and a military prison. In 1934, the island was converted into a federal prison, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. The strong currents around the island and cold water temperatures made escape nearly impossible. The prison became one of the most notorious in American history. Trump posted on Truth Social that the infamous former prison will “house America's most ruthless and violent Offenders. We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.” The prison closed 60 years ago, but once housed the likes of Al Capone, George “Machine Gun” Kelly, and James “Whitey” Bulger. HHS denounces misguided treatments for gender confusion The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a report last Thursday, denouncing so-called treatments for gender confusion. The study evaluated the impact of transgender drugs and surgeries on children.  The department noted, “These interventions carry risk of significant harms including infertility/sterility, sexual dysfunction, impaired bone density accrual, adverse cognitive impacts, cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders, psychiatric disorders, surgical complications, and regret.” Federal Reserve keeps interest rate in the 4.25%-4.5% range The Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged on Wednesday.  The Fed's benchmark interest rate remains at 4.25% to 4.5%. The Fed warned of potentially higher unemployment and inflation as the economy adjusts to President Trump's tariff plan. Meanwhile, Trump continues to call for lower interest rates. World's largest page of Bible just printed to honor Gutenberg Press And finally, the International Gutenberg Society printed the world's largest page of the Bible, measuring 38 square yards, on April 26th, 2025 in Mainz, Germany. The event commemorated the 625th anniversary of the birth of Johannes Gutenberg. The German inventor created the moveable-type printing press. And he produced the first printed version of the Bible. The Gutenberg printing press revolutionized the dissemination of the Bible, making it more accessible to a wider audience than ever before. Prior to Gutenberg's invention, Bibles were hand-copied, a laborious process that made them expensive and rare. The printing press allowed for mass production, increasing availability and lowering costs. This led to a surge in literacy, the spread of the Bible, and Christianity. The commemorative event showcased a massive copy of the first page of John's Gospel. It was made from the largest industrial paper rolls available and covered nearly 400 square feet.  John 1:1-4 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, May 8th, my 59th birthday, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

The show exposes deep state pushback, from San Francisco locals calling it a “stunt” to lawsuits blocking ICE in California, as a desperate attempt to shield illegal immigrants.

Retired Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins brings you the best in mob history with his unique perception of the mafia. In this episode of Gangland Wire, host Gary Jenkins interviews the prolific chronicler of the American Mafia, Jeffrey Sussman. Listeners will learn about Morris levy and the mafia's influence on the roots of the world's most important cultural influences, American Rock and Roll. Two of the most important men who influenced the rise of rock and roll were Morris Levy and Alan Freed. Levy had close ties with the Genovese crime family. Levy was the notorious head of the record label Roulette Records. Reportedly, Morris Levy used illicit money from the family to fund his businesses, with several members of the mob said to be present at his meetings. At the time, Freed and other corrupt Disc Jockeys corrupted the entire industry with their "pay for play" of records, which became known as "Payola." Morris Levy terrorized young performers into giving up thier royalities. Meyer Lansky, AKA the “mob's accountant,” was one of the most successful mafiosos in history and had many investments in jukeboxes. Reportedly, he “controlled every Wurlitzer jukebox in the New York area”. So too, did the Chicago Outfit (who rose to power under Al Capone) have many dealings with Lansky and his jukeboxes. A mob history book, The Outfit, argues that the Wurlitzer Corporation accused Lansky and his Chicago associates of disrupting the distribution of Wurlitzer jukeboxes. The Outfit is also said to have worked closely with Jules Stein, head of the Music Corporation of America. Apparently, Stein, the mob, MCA, and Meyer Lansky had all worked at least in some form with the mob fixer Sidney Korshak, a prominent mafia name in Los Angeles.

James Beasley Jr. rose from the streets of Hunter's Point to become San Francisco's most notorious drug kingpin, moving 1,000 kilos of cocaine a month for the Medellín Cartel at the height of the crack epidemic. In this exclusive interview, Beasley reveals how he scaled his empire, outsmarted the DEA for years, and ultimately served 27 years in federal prison—not for drugs, but for tax evasion, like Al Capone. Now a free man and a millionaire once again through real estate, Beasley reflects on the street game, surviving the feds, and what it takes to rebuild. From cartel meetings in Colombia to front businesses in the Bay, this is a raw, unfiltered story of power, loyalty, betrayal—and redemption.

If you get your history from watching gangster movies, then you might be under the impression that Al Capone singlehandedly started Chicago's Beer Wars. That is certainly what is suggested by the 1932 gangster classic Scarface. The truth is considerably more complicated. Chicago's gang wars were messy multi-factional conflicts that can remind you of Japan's Warring States period. Al Capone was right in the middle of this wave of violence, but should he be blamed for it? Tune-in and find out how murderous florists, a guy named "Ragtime Joe", and Al Capone's fake furniture shop all play a role in the story.

The life of the gangster Al Capone could be understood as a violent expression of the American Dream. A poor kid from Brooklyn, born to immigrant parents, used his wits, fists, and a certain ruthless determination to build an empire. The underworld figure has been the fodder for countless, books and biopics, not to mention inspiring a rogues gallery of fictional crime bosses. As you might expect his life is filled with elaborate legends and colorful myths. Capone was also a savvy manipulator of the news media, who did his best to put his own public relations spin on his life outside the law. How much should we believe about America's best known criminal? Tune-in and find out how Geraldo Rivera's boat, a knocked-out school teacher, and a guy named "snorky" all play a role in the story.
