Seven years before Lyle and Erik Menendez gunned down their parents in Beverly Hills, after years of abuse, suffered by he and his sister, Richard Jahnke ambushed their father in the garage of their home on Cowpoke Lane in Cheyenne, Wyoming and shot him dead. THE POISON TREE is a riveting account of the sadistic physical, mental and sexual abuse suffered by Richard and Deborah. The book also covers the murder, trial and aftermath of an incident with eerie parallels to the Menendez Case. My guest today is the author of THE POISON TREE, Alan Prendergast.

Who is responsible for making the Mile High's food scene stand out? What restaurants have created the culinary landscape we know today as unmistakably Denver? In other words, if there was a Mt. Rushmore of this city's dining innovators, who would be immortalized? Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are joined by Westword's food editor Molly Martin to dig into our culinary history and create the ultimate list of the people behind the biggest influences on the tastes, innovations, and culture of Denver. Paul mentioned the Jason Sheehan piece on Biker Jim that sparked this conversation. Molly talked about Bill St. John's remembrance of Mel and Janie Master, which first mentioned the idea of a culinary Mt. Rushmore. Bree talked about Adam Cayton Holland's reporting on the Chubby's family saga, Alan Prendergast's story on the formation of Greektown, Patty Calhoun's look back at the fern bars of Denver, and History Colorado's entry on “Daddy” Bruce Randolph Sr. and the Epworth Foundation's Feed-A-Family program.

Tune in to the Regional Roundup to hear about the prominence of the Ku Klux Klan in Colorado politics in the 1920s. Alan Prendergast explores this history and tells the tale of the district attorney who brought them down in his new book. Plus, we have a report on a collaboration between a regional printmaker and a musician, and spoken word poetry from a world poetry slam champion.

Rundown -    Troubadour Dave Gunders - 05:52   "World Gone Crazy" by Dave Gunders - 19:22   Alan Prendergast Part 1 - 25:13   Fake Friday morning co-hosting with Peter Boyles - 01:46:03   Randy Corporon interviews Steve Deace on Brauchler Show - 02:47:31   Alan Prendergast Part 2 - 02:59:59   Denver DA Philip Van Cise was a great man for his times. He stood up to organized crime in Denver when host's grandfather Harry Silverman was trying to practice law downtown. Van Cise also fought the KKK. The stories of those epic fights are told masterfully in the book, Gangbuster, by Alan Prendergast.    Prendergast is an award-winning Colorado writing legend, renowned for his coverage of JonBenet, Columbine, and almost every major crime drama in modern Colorado history. A Denver native, and graduate of Denver East High (like his protagonist, Phil Van Cise), Alan Prendergast makes the turn of the last century Denver come alive.   https://www.westword.com/author/alan-prendergast   A CU Buff, Phil Van Cise got his undergraduate (1907) and law degree (1909) up in Boulder, where his father was an instructor, and also a Colorado attorney. The Ludlow Massacre of 1914 shaped Captain Van Cise. Rising to rank of colonel, Denver's future DA further served as a US Army intelligence officer in WWI.    Van Cise also experienced the violent Denver Tramway Streetcar strike of 1920. He knew Denver was becoming a crime rich environment and he decided to make a longshot run for Denver DA to try to stop it. Success followed success, but it was against all odds. Colonel Van Cise changed Denver forever. And for the better.   Alan Prendergast is a brilliant storyteller, and instructs undergraduates at Colorado College, teaching Journalism at his alma mater. Once you buy Prendergast's historically accurate page-turner, you'll want to go visit amazing Denver sites where the action all happened like 16th Street, the Auditorium Arena, and the West Side Court Building at Speer and Colfax.   Denver needed a hero in 1920 when her cops were crooked and bigotries ran wild. Denver was renowned as a town where almost anything went, so long as Lou Blonger, the top organized crime boss, approved, and got his cut. Aside and apart were the bigots who brought the KKK around the USA and found a great Denver asset in Dr. John Galen Locke.   Blonger and Locke are formidable but as we know, because Denver went on to prosper, Van Cise brought both of these authoritarian crime bosses to justice. America can learn a lot by studying how Colorado and Van Cise fought back one hundred years ago against authoritarianism and nationalism.   Gangbuster: One Man's Battle Against Crime, Corruption, and the Klan is a Best Book for 2023. It's highly entertaining. It's educational and full of suspense. We learn the way for civilized societies to fight back when democracy is threatened by White Christian Nationalists and criminal types. Buy Gangbuster here. https://alanprendergast.com/   We need Jack Smith to succeed like Colonel Phil Van Cise. Both have the courage of their convictions, and allegiance to the rule of law. Van Cise served one of the most crime busting single terms in the rich history of the Denver District Attorney's Office. That's where the show host worked 1980 - 1996, including with Assistant DA O. Otto Moore, who worked 1921 - 1925 with Denver DA Van Cise.   Prendergast and host reminisce about many Colorado cases including JonBenet. Prendergast rips former Boulder DA Mary Lacy for her fake exoneration of Ramseys. The DNA is a false clue, proclaims Prendergast. Also discussed is disgraced Ramsey lawyer Lin (MAGA) Wood, and Peter Boyles who made a big name covering JonBenet and birtherism on Denver radio.   Birtherism propelled Trump to be GOP nominee and then President in 2016. Trump lost in 2020, but as chronicled on past episodes of this podcast, 45's #BigLie grew out of Colorado. Joe Oltmann appeared with Boyles on 710 KNUS and Jenna Ellis appeared on Dan Caplis on 630 KHOW to cry Stop the Steal. Now, Jack Smith and other lawyers are making things clear.   Boyles and Silverman used to do Friday mornings together on KHOW and KNUS. On this podcast, they once again share an hour discussing current events in Colorado and elsewhere. Boyles also hosts GOP stalwart Dick Wadhams and discussed are Jack Smith closing in on 45, and whether Rudy G will flip.   Boyles highlights apparent MAGA defection by broadcaster Steve Deace, an Iowa White Christian Nationalist, but is contradicted by contention Rudy not about to rat on Trump, and that Deace defection to DeSantis is only mildly interesting. https://www.rawstory.com/steve-deace/   By his own current admission, Boyles, age 80, agrees to be muzzled from discussing Big Lie since 710 KNUS and Salem are being sued. Even though Boyles can't talk about Corporon, there are no such limitations here as we explain the Corporon/GOP/Kraken/Oltmann/Trump/Salem/MAGA/Boyles entanglements.   World Gone Crazy is a hit single by our Troubadour Dave Gunders. Talk radio has become a hateful cesspool in the age of Trump and this show considers Denver's contributions in that regard. VanCise kept speaking out long after he left the DA's Office. So will we. https://soundcloud.com/dave-gunders/6-world-gone-crazy   Army Colonel Philip Van Cise was a great Denver attorney. He had great integrity and honor. Episode 159 salutes Col. Phil Van Cise and this wonderful book, Gangbuster, about his amazing life. Author Alan Prendergast has penned a true Colorado classic, and easily one of the best books of 2023. https://www.audible.com/pd/Gangbuster-Audiobook/B0BYB1DG9T

Philip Van Cise faced a double threat when he became Denver's district attorney in 1921. He quickly discovered that a massive bunco ring was operating unimpeded in downtown Denver, fleecing unsuspecting rubes out of enormous amounts of money. In addition, the Ku Klux Klan was gaining popularity across the state - winning key elections as it encouraged vigilantism and threatened many Denver citizens.My guest, Alan Prendergast, tells Van Cise's story in his new book, "Gangbuster: One Man's Battle Against Crime, Corruption, and the Klan". The author's website: https://alanprendergast.com/

Gangbuster: One Man's Battle Against Crime, Corruption, and the Klan by Alan Prendergast https://amzn.to/3LG9MFu As gripping as it is prescient, Gangbuster is the first-ever history of the battle waged by one rookie District Attorney, Philip Van Cise, against the KKK, organized crime, and government corruption at the highest levels throughout the 1920s. One century later, in the face of contemporary society's divisiveness and fearmongering politics, the personal courage of this maverick's battle against underworld figures and a mainstream white supremacist movement is more relevant and inspiring than ever. At the height of the roaring 1920s, the ex-frontier town of Denver, Colorado, emerged from the postwar boom as the future of the American city. But the slick façade of progress and opportunity masked a murky stew of organized crime, elaborate swindles, and widespread government corruption. One man risked everything to alter the course of history. Rookie district attorney Philip Van Cise was already making national headlines for a new brand of law enforcement. Employing military intelligence tools he'd developed during the Great War—wiretapping, undercover operatives, communication intercepts—Van Cise crippled the criminal empire of Lou Blonger, an ex-lawman who had risen from petty scam artist to master of the Big Con. But Van Cise had even darker, more malevolent forces on his radar. The Ku Klux Klan had emerged as a shockingly mainstream middle-class movement, employing anti-immigration scare tactics, encouraging vigilantism, and instigating culture wars, all while claiming to protect true American values. Van Cise saw the toxic ideology for what it was: a new version of the Big Con sold as populism. Utilizing his pioneering surveillance techniques, Van Cise was determined to expose the Invisible Empire from within. Gripping and exhaustively researched, this prescient chronicle of Philip Van Cise's spectacular career as a feared gangbuster taking on organized crime, the KKK, and corruption at the highest levels of government is a cautionary tale that mirrors our tumultuous times.

Matt Crawford speaks with author Alan Prendergast about his book, Gangbuster: One Man's Battle Against Crime, Corruption, and The Klan. Denver during the roaring 1920's was a corrupt town from stem to stern. Rookie District Attorney Philip Van Cise wanted to change that, and he would end up taking on organized crime, corruption on every governmental level and the Ku Klux Klan. Utilizing cutting edge technology and even reaching out to private donors to fund his crusade, Van Cise was truly ahead of his time. Why then have so few heard of him? Read this book and find out just what a miscarriage of justice that really is!

"Gangbusters" a well written account of the KKK in the 20's talks about how terrifying it was back in the day to be any kind of different. Alan Prendergast, longtime friend and well-established author, says that hatred amongst fools' spreads like wildfire. The only way to put it out is Rock n Roll and love. To give an example of how unknowingly rotten this country once was, they were allowed to march down the U.S. capitol as if it was a Thanksgiving Day Parade. As much as we need history for us to learn not to make the same mistakes, I don't think we need things named after racists. The one who really stands up for Robert E. Lee's statues is the one who disgraces this entire country. How long do you think Putin's statue will last when Russia becomes a free state?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

7: James Mason - Portrait of a Decrepit Nazi Pervert Rey narrates the turbulent and reactionary biography of Neo-Nazi ideologue and 'theoretician of terror' James Mason. From his youth as a would-be school-shooter in the 60s through his experiences in the American Nazi movement to his eventual publication of Siege and its subsequent rediscovery by young fascists today. Boris and Fritz do their best to keep up while trying not to throw up in their mouths from listening to this particularly disgusting and pathetic chapter in fascist history.

Instead of one big story, we have three shorter stories. And we’ll also talk a little bit about our process.

In a heartbreaking, shocking edition of After Hours AM/The Criminal Code — with hosts Joel Sturgis, Eric Olsen, and our secret weapon, forensic psychologist Dr. Clarissa Cole — we speak with legendary True Crime journalist Alan Prendergast about his classic book, The Poison Tree, chronicling the infamous Richard Jahnke child abuse-and-parricide case. The book was a finalist for the Edgar Award for Best True Fact Crime and has recently been republished as an ebook by Open Road Media. We speak with Alan in top hour 2; hour 1, Clarissa leads a review of the week’s scintillating True Crime news, leading to the conclusion that some people are mean. One cold November night, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, fifteen-year-old Richard Jahnke Jr., ROTC leader and former Boy Scout, waited for his parents to return from celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the night they met. When his father got out of the car, the boy blasted him through the heart with a twelve-gauge pump-action shotgun. Richard’s seventeen-year-old sister, Deborah, was sitting on the living room couch with a high-powered rifle—just in case her brother missed. Rrichard and Deborah Jahnke Was it cold-blooded murder? Or self-defense? Richard Jahnke Sr., special agent for the IRS, gun collector, and avid reader of Soldier of Fortune, had been subjecting his wife, Maria, and both children to harrowing abuse—physical, psychological, and sexual—for years. Deborah and her brother conspired to finally put a stop to it themselves. But their fate was in the hands of a prejudiced and inept judicial system, and only public outcry could save them.

Download PodcastTune in for an hour of news, information and conversation around the issue of political prisoners and prisoners of war.Tonight we will examine the case of Simón Trinidad (born July 30, 1950) is the alias of Juvenal Ovidio Ricardo Palmera Pineda. Trinidad is a high level member of The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia—People's Army whom the United States government tried to frame on drug trafficking charges which failed but was able to convict him a kidnapping that he was not involved in that allegedly occurred in another country."For the past seven years, he has been a resident of the U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum, better known as ADX. In the highest-security prison in North America, Trinidad is serving a sixty-year sentence for “conspiracy to commit hostage-taking,” based on a kidnapping that occurred on another continent — and without, his attorneys insist, any direct involvement on his part." - ALAN PRENDERGASTLets discuss the audacity of the US government bringing drug trafficking charges against Simón Trinidad while its agents partied with prostitutes in Colombia as well as cutting deals with the Mexican Sinoloa cartel. The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia—People's Army is currently involved in peace negotiations sponsored in Cuba which is celebrating its 56th year of independence from the brutal rule of puppet tyrants controlled by the West.Two new activist join the ranks of political prisoners in the USA. "Two animal-rights activists have been charged with terrorizing the fur industry during cross-country road trips in which they released about 5,740 mink from farms and vandalized the homes and businesses of industry members, the FBI said Friday. The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested Joseph Brian Buddenberg, 31, and Nicole Juanita Kissane, 28, both of California, and federal prosecutors charged them with conspiracy to violate the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act." - APThese "terrorism" charges against animal rights activists are another example that US Attorney General Loretta Lynch was being less than truthful when she indicated that there are no terrorism charges that can be brought against Dylan Roof.Black Lives Matter demonstrators interrupted a recent presidential debate to force them to discuss the state sponsored terrorism known as police brutality in the United States. In Cleveland where organizers are having a conference, it is being reported that police attacked activist with chemical weapons when they came to the aid of a 14 yr-old attacked by police at a bus stop across the street from the Black Lives Matter conference.The medical campaign for Black Panther activist Robert Seth Hayes.
