Podcast appearances and mentions of Al Capone

What happens when a set of twins working for Al Capone in the early 30's flee from Chicago to Mississippi to start a juke joint? Well, a few things. For one, potentially one of the greatest nights in music that never existed. Also, colonizing vampires thirsting to steal your soul and have you join their hive mind could show up to that very juke joint. As the tables turn and the fire burns, a jovial group of partygoers are faced with the scariest decision of their lives, and time is ticking fast.

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into one of the most haunted places in the United States: Eastern State Penitentiary. Once home to notorious criminals like Al Capone, this Philadelphia prison has seen its share of violence, suffering, and death. But is it also home to something far darker? Visitors, staff, and paranormal investigators alike have reported strange sightings, eerie sounds, and unsettling sensations that can't be easily explained. Tony delves into the chilling history of the penitentiary, exploring the early days of its construction, the notorious figures who walked its halls, and the inexplicable events that have earned it a place in ghost-hunting lore. From shadowy figures to the eerie coldness of the dungeons, he examines whether Eastern State's spirits are trapped in its walls—or if the past is still alive, haunting the present.

Op 11 augustus 1934 opende Alcatraz. De beruchte gevangenis op het eiland in de baai van San Francisco. De allergrootste boeven werden er opgesloten, zoals maffiabaas Al Capone en de Birdman. Er waren iconische ontsnappingspogingen die nooit helemaal verklaard zijn. Maarten en Tom bespreken waarom Alcatraz zo onneembaar leek en hoe realistisch het plan van president Trump is om de gevangenis te heropenen.

This week we return to one of our favorite directors in Brian De Palma to talk about three films that are long overdue and up first is The Untouchables. Journey with us as we discuss the look and style of the film and especially the iconic train steps sequence. Is this an overlooked classic or does it have too many moments that slip up? So pour some rye because the character's cant, grab your best Armani suit, and get ready to take down Al Capone with Eliot Ness. Cheers!

Chicago is known for crime bosses like Al Capone, but the city is also home to two Chinese gangs that were once fierce rivals. This story first aired in 2018.

The Medellin Cartel rose in the 1980s by flooding the United States with cocaine, providing dope to dance floors in Miami all the way to crack houses in Los Angeles. Forbes magazine once estimated the tidal wave of powder made the cartel's top trafficker Pablo Escobar $9 billion and its No. 2, Carlos Lehder, another $2.7 billion. While these numbers are likely major over-estimates of how much individual narcos actually keep, the cocaine trade certainly served up billions of dollars to Colombia, fueling an armed conflict involving the cartels, army, leftist guerillas and right wing paramilitaries that tore the South American nation apart and left a lot of families weeping. Escobar gained an infamy alongside Al Capone and later El Chapo as the most well-known mobsters of all time. But Lehder was also a fascinating character. He personally piloted planes and had his own private island in The Bahamas, which he used as a trampoline to bounce blow state side. The son of a German, he was portrayed by Netflix Narcos with a swastika tattoo as a Neo-Nazi narco. And he went on to become the star witness against the Panamanian dictator General Noriega, who was a CIA agent and an ally of Medellin Cartel before the U.S. invasion of Panama took him down in 1989. So when I recently got a message that I would have a chance to interview Lehder, who is now free and back in Colombia after a 33-year stint in prison, I scrambled to get there as quick as I could. The man I discovered was more humble and less boastful than you might expect, but then decades in a cell including four years in solitary, changes you. He has written a memoir of “Life and Death of the Medellin Cartel,” which you can find here and provides a revealing first-hand account to understand the period. We spoke for hours in what I believe is Carlos' first English language interview. He goes into fascinating details about how the Medellin Cartel really functioned, its relationship with guerillas and paramilitaries, and how they owned governments and supplied the U.S.-backed Contra rebels. He also gets personal about what years in solitary does to your brain. I'm proud to say this episode show cases an important testimony that helps understand the history of the eighties in the Americas, while its also intriguing to see the man behind the myth. Get your tea or beer, zap it on and soak it up.For more information and to support, go to www.crashoutmedia.com Support the show

Citroengele maatpakken, Tommyguns en persinterviews aan het zwembad. Al Capone was geen gewone crimineel, hij was een meester in zelfpromotie. Terwijl zijn mannen de Beer Wars in Chicago uitvochten met de Ieren, glimlachte hij naar de camera’s, serveerde hij oneliners aan journalisten en liet hij zijn roem groeien tot ver buiten Amerika. Niet voor niets werd hij de blauwdruk voor alle fictieve maffiabazen na hem; van Scarface en The Godfather tot Tony Soprano. Maar achter het zorgvuldig geconstrueerde imago ging een wereld schuil van afpersing, moord, corruptie en angst.In deze aflevering: hoe Capone zichzelf groter maakte dan het recht, en hoe een boekhouder hem uiteindelijk alsnog klein kreeg.

On The South Florida Roundup, we examined a scathing new study that calls conditions in South Florida's migrant detention centers “dehumanizing” — and getting worse as the Trump administration keeps filling them up [01:09]. We also spoke with the mayor of Broward County, whose budget is being targeted by Governor Ron DeSantis' state version of DOGE [20:04]. And our WLRN reporters mark the centennial anniversaries of South Florida's cities — and their rich stories, from Pearl City to Al Capone [35:27].

During Prohibition, this ruthless group of Jewish-American gangsters ruled Detroit's underworld, controlling liquor smuggling routes, running speakeasies, and even outmuscling Al Capone's Chicago Outfit—at least for a while. Feared by rivals, untouchable by cops, and even suspected in the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the Purple Gang's reign was explosive, chaotic, and ultimately short-lived. This is the wild story of one of the most dangerous and overlooked crime syndicates in American history.Subscribe to our YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@bangdangnetworkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/outlaws-gunslingers--4737234/support.

Năm 1980, nhà xã hội học người Mỹ Ronald L. Morris, trong tác phẩm đề tựa « Wait until Dark: Jazz and Underworld » (tạm dịch là Khi màn đêm buông xuống : Jazz và Thế giới ngầm), từng khẳng định nhạc Jazz trong giai đoạn Lệnh cấm (1920-1933) sẽ không còn là Jazz nếu không có sự che chở của các băng đảng tội phạm. Theo ông, Jazz chịu rất nhiều ảnh hưởng từ mafia. Storyville, New Orleans : Nền tảng đầu tiên của mối liên hệ Jazz - Mafia Mối liên hệ này được hình thành tại Storyville, New Orleans vào cuối thế kỷ XIX. Đó là thời điểm làn sóng di cư người Ý diễn ra mạnh mẽ : Trong vòng 20 năm, 1880 – 1900, hơn 650 ngàn người Ý và Sicilia đổ vào nước Mỹ, quốc gia vừa thoát khỏi cảnh Nội Chiến. Họ băng Đại Tây Dương, mơ về một nước Mỹ thịnh vượng và cởi mở. Không chỉ có người Ý, trên các cầu cảng còn có người Ireland, và hàng triệu di dân đến từ Đông Âu, phần lớn là người Do Thái. Họ chạy trốn cảnh nghèo đói, thoát cảnh chiến tranh hay sự truy bức. Nhưng giấc mộng đó nhanh chóng tan vỡ khi phải đối mặt với thực tế nghiệt ngã : Nạn kỳ thị chủng tộc và chủ nghĩa bản địa. Bị hắt hủi, bị gạt ra bên lề xã hội, thất nghiệp, không được học hành, những di dân gốc Ý, Do Thái hay châu Phi sống chen chúc trong những khu phố nghèo tại các thành phố cảng lớn như Lower East Side ở New York hay như khu Vieux-Carré tại New Orleans. Các băng đảng tội phạm lần lượt xuất hiện : Mano nera, mafia, cosa nostra…. Không được tiếp cận các ngành kinh doanh hợp pháp, những nhóm tội phạm này mở rộng các hoạt động ngầm về đêm, thâu tóm các lĩnh vực giải trí và sân khấu, giang tay đón nhận những người nghệ sĩ lang thang, đặt nên nền tảng đầu tiên cho mối liên hệ giữa Jazz và Mafia trong nhiều thập niên sau đó của thế kỷ XX. Nhạc sĩ dương cầm Earl Hines, từng giải thích : « Các thành viên mafia đã nhanh chóng tìm thấy trong âm nhạc một lớp vỏ bọc tuyệt vời cho những mánh lới được thực hiện trong hậu trường, từ các trò cờ bạc trái phép, buôn thuốc phiện, cho đến cả mãi dâm. » Steven Jezo – Vannier, tác giả tập sách « Music Connection. Les parrains de la musique américaine au XXè siècle » (tạm dịch là Kết nối âm nhạc. Những người bảo trợ cho âm nhạc Mỹ thế kỷ XX), cho biết, vào năm 1902, người ta ước tính ở Storyville, đã có đến 85 sàn nhảy, gần 800 quán rượu và 230 nhà chứa, nơi hoạt động của khoảng 1.500 gái làng chơi. Ba phần tư các chủ sở hữu những cơ sở này đều là trùm các băng đảng với những cái tên Joe Segretta, Henry Matranga, Peter Ciacco hay Pete Lala, với câu lạc bộ nổi tiếng Big 25, sàn diễn đầu tiên của Joe Oliver – người sau này trở thành King Oliver. Đó cũng là nơi xuất thân của nhiều tên tuổi khác trong làng nhạc Jazz như Jelly Roll Morton, Kid Ory, Buddy Bolden, Louis Amstrong hay Cab Calloway… 1920 : Thời điểm quyết định cho cuộc hội ngộ Jazz - Mafia Theo nhà sử học Ronald L. Morris, cuộc hội ngộ mang tính quyết định giữa giới nhạc sĩ Jazz và Mafia là vào những năm 1920. Đây là thời điểm chính quyền tổng thống Woodrow Wilson ban hành Lệnh Cấm Rượu (1920-1933), bị cáo buộc là nguồn cội của mọi tệ nạn xã hội, khiến các quán rượu và tụ điểm hội hè bị đóng cửa, kết thúc thời kỳ hoàng kim một thế hệ Mafia tại New Orleans. Các nhóm tội phạm cùng những người chơi nhạc Jazz rời Storyville đi về phía bắc đến New York, Chicago, Kansas City… Họ sắp xếp lại hoạt động về đêm dọc theo các tuyến đường buôn rượu với sự tiếp tay của giới chức địa phương, và nhiều nghị sĩ Mỹ. Một thế hệ mới các ông trùm băng đảng gốc Ý, Do Thái hay Ireland ra đời, trong số này phải kể đến Al Capone, Alcatraz hay Dutch Schulz…    Đam mê mãnh liệt nhạc Jazz cùng với sự táo bạo trong cách tổ chức và quản lý thế giới ngầm, thế hệ tội phạm mới này đã tái hiện các đêm nhạc với những câu lạc bộ tiện nghi, vui nhộn hơn, mở cửa cho tất cả các thành phần, và do vậy, đáp ứng nhu cầu hưởng thụ mới của thời kỳ hậu chiến. Tại các cơ sở mới này, nhạc cũ lỗi thời nhường chỗ cho Jazz thống trị với sự xuất hiện của những nhạc sĩ trẻ tài năng : Sydney Bechet, Bessie Smith, Earl Hines, Duke Ellington… Trong một chương trình trên đài France Culture (15/05/2024), Jacques B. Hesse, nhạc sĩ đại vĩ cầm, dịch giả tập sách của nhà xã hội Ronald L. Morris, giải thích : « Luận điểm của Ronald L. Morris rất đơn giản. Ông ấy nói rằng giới tội phạm đã góp phần phát triển nhạc Jazz không chỉ bằng cách cung cấp cho các nhạc sĩ Mỹ sự bảo vệ về mặt xã hội và pháp lý, họ còn trả phí luật sư cho các vụ ly hôn, viện phí và tang lễ cho người thân của các nhạc sĩ. Họ còn giúp các nhạc sĩ mua xe trả góp, với mức hoàn trả từ 5 đến 7 đô la một tuần. » Jazz – Mafia : Mối quan hệ ràng buộc Steven Jazo-Vannier trong tập sách viết : « Mối liên kết lâu dài này được hung đúc, neo giữ sâu đậm cứ như một sự phụ thuộc lẫn nhau, hợp nhất hai mặt của một thế giới về đêm (…) ».  Jacques B. Hesse nhắc tiếp nhận định của Ronald L. Morris : « Bằng cách sử dụng các dàn nhạc có hợp đồng dài hạn từ một đến ba năm trong các hộp đêm và câu lạc bộ nhạc Jazz của mình, các băng đảng Mafia đã khuyến khích sự trưởng thành trong phong cách riêng của từng dàn nhạc, phân biệt phong cách của Duke Ellington với phong cách của Cab Calloway ». Thế nên, mới có giai thoại rằng, Al Capone, một trong những trùm Mafia lớn, đam mê âm nhạc, có cảm tình đặc biệt với một nhạc sĩ : Fats Waller. Trong tập sách Music Connection, Steven Jazo-Vannier thuật lại rằng, người nghệ sĩ dương cầm, kiêm ca sĩ này, một đêm, vào cuối buổi trình diễn, người ta bịt mắt ông dẫn đến một nơi bí mật. Khi đến nơi, ông thấy một cây đàn piano, họ đẩy ông về phía cây đàn rồi bảo « Hãy đến chơi đàn đi ! ». Ông không biết nơi đó là ở đâu, nhưng khi nghe tiếng cười giữa đám đông, ông nhận ra tiếng cười nổi tiếng của Al Capone, người đã chọn Fats Waller chơi nhạc cho đêm tiệc của mình với bạn bè và khách mời. Mafia cung cấp việc làm, và sự bảo vệ nhưng cũng rất chiếm hữu. Ca sĩ Lena Horne, bắt đầu ca hát rất sớm tại Cotton Club, với mức lương nghèo đói : 25 đô la một tuần. Hợp đồng trọn đời ngăn cản cô rời Cotton Club. Mọi nỗ lực thương lượng của cô kết thúc trong bạo lực. Để giải thoát cho cô, gia đình ra một quyết định táo bạo : Bắt cóc cô và bỏ trốn ngay giữa đêm cho đến tận Philadelphia. Tại đây, Lena Horne bắt đầu sự nghiệp mới và sau này trở thành nữ diễn viên người Mỹ gốc Phi đầu tiên ký hợp đồng với MGM. Sự im lặng Nếu như phần lớn giới nghệ sĩ gìn giữ một quy tắc bất thành văn : Ba Không – Không nghe, Không thấy, Không nói – để đổi lấy sự bảo trợ của Mafia, thì Frank Sinatra, nhân vật hiếm có công khai thừa nhận về mối liên hệ với tay trùm Lucky Luciano, đến từ cùng một làng với gia đình Sinatra ở Sicilia. Thế giới Jazz muôn sắc muôn mầu, vô vàn giai thoại. Danh sách các nhạc sĩ bị lệ thuộc vào Mafia dài vô tận, trong số này nhiều gương mặt điển hình từ Louis Amstrong, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, cho đến Billie Holiday hay Chet Baker… Các băng đảng Mafia không chỉ sở hữu các hộp đêm, phòng nhạc nổi tiếng, mà sau này họ còn trở thành các nhà tuyển dụng, nhà quản lý và sản xuất các nhạc sĩ, sở hữu họ, những người nhạc sĩ và âm nhạc của họ. Mafia thâm nhập vào mọi cấp độ sáng tạo âm nhạc có lợi nhuận. Đối với Earl Hines, trong những năm 1940 chẳng còn chút nghi ngờ, « các băng đảng đã làm cho ngành kinh doanh âm nhạc phát đạt » hơn bao giờ hết !   (Nguồn France Musique, France Culture)

President Trump has said he wants to turn Alcatraz back into a working prison, and he sent Attorney General Pam Bondi and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum on a fact-finding mission to the island. Alcatraz closed in the 60's but gained for housing crime boss Al Capone and other notorious criminals of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. Fox's John Saucier speaks to David Spunt, Washington-based correspondent for the FOX News Channel, who joined the tour of the once supposedly inescapable prison.

Esperanza and Irwin delve into the Prohibition Era, 1920 to 1933. There apparently were lots of hands in the till, making money from Prohibition on Long Island, or Liquor Island, as one prominent minister was quoted as saying. Carl Fisher, who's Island Club on Montauk's Star Island was the most glamorous speakeasy of its time, with patrons like Ernest Hemingway and NYC Mayor Jimmy Walker. Arthur Benson, where $250,000 worth of alcohol, a staggering amount in 1925, was confiscated from his 4000 acre estate. But it was the fishermen and baymen involved as well, eluding not just the authorities like the Coast Guard, but pirates and mobsters, like Al Capone, while transporting alcohol throughout Long Island and into NYC. With further involvement from Temperance Societies in the early 19th century, to the KKK's support of prohibition in an effort to appear patriotic, we were amazed at all the story lines that converge in this podcast. Listening is Believing.

If you think about the 1920s in the United States, a few things might come to mind—jazz, prohibition, Babe Ruth, and, right at the end, the Wall Street Crash. And if you think of crime, you probably think of Al Capone, bootlegging, and fast-talking wise guys with Tommy guns. But the 1920s were also in some ways the nation's introduction to crimes that could shock and horrify the entire country. Leopold and Loeb's thrill killing, the kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby, the utter horror of child-killer and cannibal Albert Fish. And possibly the most prolific killer of the decade was a man whose strange desires sent him on a trail of murder all across a continent.Join Katie and Whitney, plus the hosts of Last Podcast on the Left, Sinisterhood, and Scared to Death, on the very first CRIMEWAVE true crime cruise!

Campaigning journalist Claud Cockburn – defiantly anti-establishment and proudly Communist – had as his watchword ‘believe nothing until it is officially denied', a saying borrowed by his son Patrick, himself a legendary foreign correspondent, for his biography of his maverick father. Described by schoolfriend Graham Greene as the greatest journalist of the twentieth century, Cockburn was born at the heart of the establishment it became his life's work to satirise, lampoon and undermine, with reports from Berlin during the rise of Fascism and Spain during the Civil War, as well as New York, Washington and Chicago, where he once conducted an interview with Al Capone. Patrick Cockburn spoke at the shop about Believe Nothing Until It Is Officially Denied (Verso), and its lessons for journalism then, now and in the future, with journalist Duncan Campbell.

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. In this episode, you'll learn about the prison, and how these three men got out! Mentioned in this Episode ⁠All Premium Content Seasons 1-3⁠ (+ discount on Season 4) Learn more about your ad choices.

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. The podcast elaborates on key players like Pete Carlino, dubbed the "Al Capone of Southern Colorado,

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. Still, he was said to be both fearless and incorruptible, going down in history as one of the most effective Prohibition Agents of all time. But Richard Hart harbored a dark secret that even his wife and children were unaware of. The straight-shooting lawman and the notorious gangster were connected in more ways than one.   Today's sponsor is QUINCE! - quince.com/wildwest Check out the website for more true tales from the Old West https://www.wildwestextra.com/   Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/   Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/   Join Patreon for ad-free and bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

2:30 Hollywood Reels as Trump Proposes 100% Tariff on Services and Intellectual Property         You would think that MAGA would like to see Hollywood go extinct.
