Brian Warth was caught in a bitter custody battle and traumatized by his brother's murder before the streets of California sucked him into a life of crime. After committing a murder at just 16 years old, he was sentenced to life in prison, forcing him to survive the brutality of LA County youth facilities and maximum security penitentiaries as a teenager. He reveals the raw reality of growing up behind bars and how Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger eventually signed his parole after 16 hard years. _____________________________________________ #ianbick #lockedin #lockedinpodcast #prisonlife #lifesentence #prisonsurvival #californiaprison #truecrime _____________________________________________ Connect with Brian Warth: YouTube: BrianWarthTV Instragram: _brianwarth Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brian.warth Book: Young Man Arise! https://www.amazon.com/Young-Man-Arise-Brian-Warth/dp/162952607X _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 The Arrest That Changed Everything 04:41 Broken Home: Custody Battles & Family Struggles 08:52 Growing Up Around Gangs 15:09 Trauma, Loss & Joining a Gang 19:49 Running Away and Getting Pulled Into Street Life 25:38 Gang Violence, Early Arrests & Escalation 33:51 The Crime That Put Him Facing Life in Prison 45:06 Juvenile Hall, Jail & Sentencing Day 54:21 The Turning Point: Faith and Change 01:01:13 Youth Prison: Inside the “Gladiator School” 01:13:59 From Youth Prison to Adult Prison 01:18:43 Learning Prison Politics & Survival 01:25:28 How He Survived Prison Mentally & Physically 01:33:36 Parole Hearings, Hope & Crushing Setbacks 01:45:40 Walking Out of Prison After Years Inside 01:52:08 Rebuilding Life After Prison 02:06:00 Forgiveness, Restorative Justice & Healing 02:09:00 Final Lessons, Advice & Book Learn more about your ad choices.

What up Fellas! Anfang der 90er war der Horizont in der HipHop-Welt lediglich zweigeteilt; alle medial und kommerziell relevanten Rapper stammten entweder aus dem LA-County oder dem Big Apple. Der Süden wurde damals sträflich übersehen und Künstler wie UGK oder die Geto Boys bekamen zwar teilweise Probs aus der Szene, aber die große mediale Aufmerksamkeit blieb zunächst aus... 1992 trafen zwei High School-Schüler aus Atlanta aufeinander und eröffneten in den nächsten Jahren die kommerziellen Pforten für die Künstler der Südstaaten. Bei den Source Awards 1995 wurden sie trotz Auszeichnung noch ausgebuht, dennoch entwickelte die HipHop-Welt nachfolgend ein Verständnis ihres wertvollen Beitrages für die noch recht auf ihre Strukturen versteiften Strukturen. In der neuen Folge "Rap gehört zum guten Ton" sprechen wir über OutKast's Debüt-Album "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik", sowie über die tieferen Themen des Albums und den nachhaltigen Impact dieses Albums. Also... Checkt gerne die neue Folge „Rap gehört zum guten Ton“ aus! Habt ein schönes Wochenende! Stay strapped und seid lieb zueinander!

On February 3, 2026, the LA County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 to fundamentally change the eviction process for thousands of property owners. By doubling the nonpayment threshold, the County has effectively mandated a multi-month "waiting period" before a landlord can even begin legal action. In this video, we break down the math behind the new threshold, the specific areas affected, and the "One-Year Rent-Free" timeline that is putting mom-and-pop landlords at risk. What You'll Learn: The 2× FMR Rule: Why you can't file for eviction until a tenant owes more than twice the HUD Fair Market Value. Unincorporated vs. Incorporated: Why your property's zip code might be the only thing saving you (or sinking you). The "Below-Market" Trap: How charging lower rent actually makes it harder for you to evict non-paying tenants. The 12-Month Timeline: A step-by-step look at how motions to quash, jury trial demands, and Sheriff backlogs lead to a full year of zero income. Survival Strategies: Why you should never accept partial payments and how to adjust your screening standards immediately. The landscape for Los Angeles landlords has shifted. Whether you own one unit or one hundred, you need to understand these procedural roadblocks before your tenant stops paying.

On this episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, we cover two major stories of workers building power—from the animation studios of Hollywood to the statehouse in Iowa. Segment 1: The Organizing Wave in Animation DreamWorks Animation remote feature production workers and the production team behind the TED animated TV series have voted to unionize, joining The Animation Guild (IATSE Local 839) and the Editors Guild (IATSE Local 700). Organizer Allison Smartt, TED: The Animated Series Color Coordinator Kelly Simmons, and Organizer Ben Speight join the show to discuss this major victory. They explain how the pandemic exposed a "zip code barrier" where remote workers were denied union protections simply for moving out of LA County. The group also discusses: The push to end the "two-tier" system that separates production staff from artists. Why establishing guardrails for Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a critical part of their fight. How industry consolidation is driving more workers to organize for job security. Segment 2: Why Union Members Must Run for Office Dan Gosa, a third-generation member of Insulators Local 81 and current Iowa State Representative, joins the show to discuss his re-election campaign. Gosa serves as President of the Quad City Federation of Labor and brings a "kitchen-table" perspective to the legislature. Gosa details the challenges facing Iowa's working families, including the drastic cut to unemployment benefits (from 26 weeks down to 16) and the need for "Responsible Bidder" laws to track bad-actor contractors who misclassify workers. He argues that when union members sit at the decision-making table, they can stop policies that strip funding from essential local services and ensure working-class issues aren't treated as political games.

What if the violence you're seeing isn't random — but perfectly timed? In this episode, the host breaks down a staggering pattern: whenever massive fraud is uncovered, chaos follows. From food stamps and Medicaid to DEI-based federal contracting, the transcript lays out how loosened regulations allegedly enabled billions in fraudulent spending, and why street unrest reliably shifts attention away from it. As federal investigators begin closing in — from Minnesota to California — the narrative suddenly changes. Fraud disappears from headlines. The focus pivots to riots, ICE, and outrage politics. The question isn't whether fraud is happening. It's who benefits when no one is allowed to talk about it.

LA County just raised sales tax to fund $1.1 billion for homelessness—and now they're slashing $219 million from those same programs. You can't make this up. With 72,000 homeless people (nearly 10% of the entire U.S. homeless population), LA has perfected the art of building the homeless industrial complex and watching them come. We break down the budget crisis, the 46% increase in shelter bed costs (seriously, what are they buying?), and why cutting funding might actually reduce homelessness more than throwing billions at it. Plus, we compare LA's approach to Seattle's new socialist mayor who just cancelled encampment sweeps—because that worked so well during the pandemic, right? Spoiler alert: If you build it, they will come. If you don't... they'll migrate to the next city with better perks. Is this the most expensive failure in government history, or just another day in California? What do you think happens when the 2028 Olympics roll into town? Drop your thoughts below, and if you're tired of watching taxpayer money disappear into the void, hit subscribe and let's keep exposing this madness together.

Rob Reiner reportedly told friends he was "petrified" of his own son. Michele Reiner had allegedly grown increasingly worried about Nick's deteriorating mental state. They had money, connections, access to the best treatment in the world — and none of it mattered.Because in California, families cannot force treatment on an adult who refuses it. They can't initiate conservatorships. They can't compel long-term psychiatric care. All they can do is call 911, watch their loved one get held for 72 hours, and wait for them to be released.This episode traces how we got here. In 1967, California passed the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, ending indefinite involuntary commitment and creating strict criteria for psychiatric holds. The law was a response to real abuses — families locking away "inconvenient" relatives, horrific conditions in state hospitals, patients warehoused for decades without treatment.But the community mental health centers that were supposed to replace the hospitals were never built. The funding was gutted. And within one year of the law taking effect, mentally ill people entering California's criminal justice system doubled.Today, fewer than 1,500 Californians are on LPS conservatorships. A 2020 audit found that in LA County, nearly 10,000 people had been placed on at least 10 psychiatric holds — but only 1 in 16 ever resulted in long-term care. The 72-hour hold became a revolving door. And families like the Reiners were left with impossible choices: abandon your sick child to the streets, or become their untrained caregiver and hope today isn't the day it all falls apart.We dismantled a flawed system and called the rubble progress.

Don’t just retire. Design. Join us in our group program. Two new groups starting on January 22 & 23. Don’t put off planning for your life in retirement. Take the first step today. _________________________ What does it truly mean to age well in a world where longevity is increasing, but health spans vary wildly? In this episode, we meet with Dr. Arnold Gilberg, author of The Myth of Aging: A Prescription for Emotional and Physical Well-Being. Dr. Gilberg challenges the traditional definition of retirement, arguing that total withdrawal from professional life can lead to loneliness and decline. Instead, he advocates for “semi-retirement” and finding new ways to stay needed, including his own journey of entering rabbinic training. Tune in to hear his wisdom on adapting your physical fitness as your body changes, the power of self-forgiveness, and why exercising your brain is just as critical as exercising your body. Dr. Arnold Gilberg joins us from Los Angeles. __________________________ Bio Arnold L. Gilberg, MD, PhD, received his bachelor's degree in political science and Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Illinois. He interned at the Los Angeles General Medical Center. He is the last person alive trained by Franz Alexander, MD, a distinguished colleague of Sigmund Freud. His psychiatric training took place at the  Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was chief psychiatric resident. He also has a doctorate in psychoanalysis from the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute.

And for some people, retirement is going from working six days a week to working four days a week. And people think, oh boy, I’m really retired. I’m working less. And especially if you like your job. And I think people who really like their work and what they’re doing should seriously consider whether retirement, total retirement, is something they want to do. Because for most professions or work, people don’t have to completely retire. They can semi-retire and work two or three days a week if that potential is given to them. Take, for example, myself. I don’t feel like really completely retiring. I’m proud of the fact that I’m 89 years old, and I still work a couple of days a week seeing patients because I like what I do. It makes me feel needed. And the hospital that I attend at tells me I can’t retire. Well, let’s talk about myself. I think my working allows me to remain involved, sing patients, sing other professionals, engaged in some teaching. And we know that people struggle with loneliness. And I do address that in my book The Myth of Aging. There’s a recent study that came out that in the United States today, one out of three people are lonely, which leads to depression, leads to anxiety, leads to psychiatric problems, leads to suicide, leads to drug abuse, and a variety of other condition. So the idea that a person remains engaged in their profession in some way is very critical, and people need to seriously take a look at their retirement, or if they are going to retire, what they might do following their retirement.” On Adapting “We all continue to adapt. And I think recognizing that is important. And also not beating up on yourself about these adaptations that take place. People don’t forgive themselves and people are always ready to jump on themselves. And we need to understand that this type of adaptation is very, very important and to accept it and be grateful for it. I enjoyed running marathons, Los Angeles primarily, and it’s nice for me to hold on to the memory, but I’m not really there anymore. I’m in a different place. I’m happy that I can go to our gym and exercise for 25 or 30 minutes, you know, and come up fatigued. And I feel good about that. And my wife feels similarly. We’re both at that place and we enjoy the fact that we can at least do this.” On Doing Something New “Well, for most people, I think trying to find something new to do, especially after you’re retired, is very critical for cognitive brain functioning because it keeps your mind at work. And we know today, neurologically, that people need to exercise their brain just as they exercise the rest of their body. So people who retire and find something new to do are helping themselves. I must say there is a small segment of the population who enjoy being retired, moving to a cabin in Northern California or Montana, and being very satisfied in that life situation. But for most of us, that doesn’t work. And so for me, I’ve always had an attachment to faith and spirituality, which I think ultimately provides people with a sense of community.”
