We open the show with Sen. Chuck “You” Schumer (D-NY) starting to run out of new material for the fearporn train. On the flip side, Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) says it's far too early to panic and she said her constituents are okay waiting a bit to see how the Trump reciprocal tariff plan starts to unfold. This morning, President Trump even said he hates the initial pain, but is happy to see so many countries lining up to negotiate fair trade deals with the United States. Then, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins had a great one-liner for CNN's Jake Tapper, while she was discussing the issues with unfair trade in the agriculture sector. Next, I take a moment to discuss how soulless some influencers are in our own country. I use a tweet by NY Time best-selling author Don Winslow as an example. I follow that up with propaganda from former White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates. If Trump is really out to hurt the little guy and give all the breaks to his billionaire buddies, why did he hurt the stock market like he did? CNN's Harry Enten reveals more interesting polling, with the overall message being that Americans see Trump taking us in a different direction and feeling like he needs more ability to accomplish his agenda. The SCOTUS just pulled the rug out from under activist D.C. District Court Judge Boasberg. Then, in another ruling a California judge had his injunction stayed as it relates to Trump's team being able to fire probationary employees. We get a sound bite from the Village Idiot, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) where she perfectly illustrates the Left's belief in the soft bigotry of low expectation. And, she did it with her fake accent, while pretending she was at a comedy club. We get a sneak peek at Ellie Cohanim, who might be on the short list to replace Elise Stefanik for UN Ambassador. She wants to “DOGE” the UN and root out their issues with antisemitism. Finally, President Trump is set to sign an Executive Order putting emphasis on keep our clean-burning coal plants going. Then I add my thoughts on the need for more new generation nuclear facilities.

Then, stick around for a chat with AutoCrit's Daniel Kaplan! AutoCrit began humbly as the brainchild of an unpublished writer with dreams of becoming an author. She faced a common problem: how could she get expert, unbiased feedback on her writing without breaking the bank? Writers' groups, critique partners, and other beta readers weren't at the expert level, and friends and family weren't unbiased. Getting feedback took time, and the quality of the feedback was hit-or-miss.

Danny Ryan doesn't see himself as ambitious — which is surprising, seeing as he's both stolen and made millions. But in his mind, he's just an average guy trying to survive in a world that would rather he not. Ryan is the central character of Don Winslow's sweeping crime trilogy that draws parallels to movies like “The Godfather” and “Goodfellas.” Readers first met Ryan as a mid-level Irish-American mobster in New England in “City on Fire,” which came out in 2022. One year later, Winslow released “City on Dreams,” which follows Ryan to Hollywood. And now, in 2024, Ryan is a Las Vegas casino mogul struggling to leave his life of crime in “City in Ruins.” It brings both the series and Winslow's writing career to a close.But not before he joins host Kerri Miller one more time on Big Books and Bold Ideas. Don't miss this warm and intimate conversation that pulls at the fascinating threads of Winslow's past — including his years spent as a Shakespeare director at Oxford, his stint as a private investigator and his abiding love of Africa. They also talk about how surfing taught Winslow to trust the writing process, why it took him 30 years to write the Danny Ryan series, and why he is confident that “City in Ruins” is his last book. Guest: Don Winslow has written 21 novels, including “The Border, “The Force, and “Savages.” His new book, “City in Ruins” completes his Danny Ryan trilogy and his writing career.

Don Winslow, author of “City in Ruins,” in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded via zencastr on April 10, 2024 Don Winslow is the author of 22 novels, many of which focus on crime and the criminal underworld, including The Cartel, The Force, Savages (which became an Oliver Stone film), and The Border. His latest novel,  “City in Ruins”, concludes the trilogy of “City on Fire” and “City of Dreams,” which told of a mob war using as a template the story of the Trojan War, The Iliad, the Odyssey, the Aeneid and other works. In this latest novel, we follow the character of Danny Ryan, (Aeneas) as he winds up in Las Vegas (the founding of Rome), with forays into the Odyssey and the greek tragedies of Aeschylus and Europides.  Don Winslow has stated that these will be his final novels. Don Winslow also produces political videos aimed at saving the American democracy from Donald Trump, and is a vital force on Twitter. Photos: Richard Wolinsky.

Battles of money, influence, and bribery soon follow.   After 26 books this is Winslow's last book as he's taking his talents to a new patriotic pursuit. But his books and numerous movies made from them live on. Austin Butler, in his first starring role since his Oscar nominated turn as Elvis Presley, will star as crime boss Danny Ryan in “City On Fire,” an earlier book in this trilogy.    --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booktalk-diana-korte/message

On today's 175th Episode of The Thriller Zone, now in our 6th Season, we're happy to invite Don Winslow into our home for a face-to-face interview that, as you'll quickly notice, is truly a one of a kind opportunity for this host, and for you as an audience member.Don, as you may know, is a renowned thriller writer who has decades of experience as a seasoned writer, creating one hit after another. Today, Don discusses his journey as an author and the challenges he faced in the publishing industry. Despite initial rejections and being labeled a cult writer, Winslow persevered and eventually achieved success. He credits his partnership with agent Shane Salerno as a turning point in his career. Together, they started a rebellion against the limitations imposed by publishers and Hollywood. In our in-depth conversation, Winslow reflects on the impact of his mother, a librarian, who instilled in him a love for books and the belief that he could achieve anything. He also shares his thoughts on retirement and the future of the publishing industry. Digging deeper and opening up, Don reveals the evolution of storytelling and the impact of technology and AI on the industry. He emphasizes the authenticity of human communication and the importance of bringing heart and soul to writing. As our show begins to wrap, Don allows us an inside peek, as he shares advice for aspiring writers, encouraging them to never give up and set doable writing goals. He reflects on the emotional impact of his City Trilogy, which includes City On Fire, City Of Dreams and City In Ruins, as well as the upcoming film adaptation, and concludes by discussing his future plans, including his commitment to fighting against neo-fascism and—on a much lighter note—spending more time with his wife, Jean.All in all, this will stand out as one of the very finest episodes of The Thriller Zone since I launched the podcast nearly three years ago.

From 1989 until 1997, Larry worked in the San Ysidro and San Diego California offices often working cases inside Mexico. From 1997 until 2001, Larry was assigned to the Tijuana Resident Office, and from 2004 until 2009 Larry was the Resident Agent in Charge in the Ciudad Juarez Resident Office. During his time with DEA, Larry was also a Group Supervisor in Fayetteville Arkansas, and was the Unit Chief and then Deputy Director at the El Paso Intelligence Center until he retired in 2012.Part two primarily focuses on Larry's investigations involving Mexico and many of the stories he tells appear very similar to those from the movie Sicario, the Netflix series Narcos, and the book Power Of The Dog by Don Winslow.

On this episode, we are joined with Author, Award Winning Filmmaker, Podcaster and Surf Trip Guru, Laurel Senick. She just completed her first novel, Foam, a surf adventure with a female protagonist, Casasandra Lee who is an out of work journalist whose life is in shambles and runs to Rincon Puerto Rico in hopes of realizing her dreams. It's when she is researching a free diver's death, she uncovers a drug ring and kidnapping plot and discovers that this sleepy town has a darker underbelly. It's a welcome novel that fills a missing genre of women's fiction and also follows in the tradition of such great writers as Kem Nunn, Tim Winton,Taylor Jenkins, Catherine Steadman and Don Winslow. Laurel is from Wilmington North Carolina but has made her way up North for the Women's Surf Film festival and I'm stoked to have her on the show.
