From a Brisbane house party tragedy to a miraculous Disney cruise rescue — we unpack two wild headlines that had us stunned.This two-part episode of Wine Chats: Chatterbox Edition takes you on an emotional rollercoaster as we break down two headline-making stories, one tragic, one unexpectedly heartwarming.In part one, we talk about the shocking Brisbane incident where a 15-year-old allegedly stabbed his father at a house party. With media reports being vague and details scarce, we ask the tough questions:What drives a teen to commit parricide?Is social media, mental health, or modern parenting to blame?How do we keep our own kids safe — and sane — in today's world?In part two, we lighten things up with a near-tragedy aboard a Disney cruise ship, where a 5-year-old girl fell overboard, and was miraculously rescued by her father. We talk parental instincts, cruise safety protocols (hello, MOB procedures), and whether we're too judgy… or not judgy enough.Note: Since this episode was recorded, it has emerged that the child climbed over the railing while the parents were playing a game nearby — not that the father had placed her on the railing for a photo, as was originally reported. Thankfully, the dad did jump in immediately to rescue her.From gut-wrenching news to a viral rescue that actually restores your faith in humanity, this episode will make you think, laugh (uncomfortably), and maybe hold your kids a little tighter.

In the 1930s, an association of primarily Italian mafiosos and Jewish organized crime gangsters, based in Brooklyn, was formed for the purpose of putting distance between the underworld figures ordering hits, and the people carrying out those executions. This organization would come to be known as, Murder Incorporated. And this is their insanely violent story, loaded with crazy characters and their colorful nicknames. Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

Harvard Law Professor Jack Goldsmith didn't just study organized crime—he lived it. As the son of a notorious mob lawyer and stepson of a hitman, Goldsmith had unprecedented access to the inner workings of America's most powerful criminal organization. Now, his explosive revelations about Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance connect to a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government and explains how the mob didn't just influence labor unions—they infiltrated the entire American power structure.This isn't just another Hoffa theory from an outsider. Goldsmith's family connections gave him access to conversations, documents, and secrets that most researchers could never obtain. We're talking about firsthand knowledge of how the mob operated, who gave the orders, and why Hoffa's elimination was just the beginning of a systematic takeover that continues to this day.Our explosive investigation reveals how Goldsmith's unique position allowed him to uncover connections between organized crime families, government agencies, and corporate power structures that most people would find impossible to believe. The rise and fall of the mob wasn't just about bootlegging and gambling—it was about creating a shadow government that could control labor, politics, and information flow across America. From his insider knowledge of mob operations to his later work in government intelligence, Goldsmith witnessed how the same networks that made Hoffa disappear also influence elections, suppress investigations, and maintain control over American institutions. Mystery enthusiasts and truth-seekers know that some witnesses have access to information that others can only speculate about—and this episode proves why Goldsmith's testimony is so dangerous. We'll reveal how labor unions became the mob's gateway to controlling entire industries, how Hoffa's murder connected to ongoing government operations, and how the supposed "fall" of organized crime was actually just their evolution into more sophisticated forms of control. The mob didn't disappear—they went legitimate and became even more powerful. From union halls to government offices, from corporate boardrooms to university lecture halls, this episode exposes how one man's family connections allowed him to document the greatest conspiracy in American labor history. Goldsmith's revelations aren't just academic research—they're insider testimony from someone who grew up in the world that most people only see in movies. The rise and fall of the mob is really the story of how organized crime became organized government, and Goldsmith's unique perspective reveals how this transformation shaped modern America in ways that most citizens never realize. Stream exclusively on Spreaker for uncensored bonus content about Goldsmith's suppressed research, or find us on Amazon Music (ask your Alexa about Jack Goldsmith Hoffa), Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and everywhere truth-seekers get their insider reality checks. Some witnesses have access to secrets that others can only imagine—this episode reveals why.

On a pioneering task force, Bob Delaney went from New Jersey State Trooper to undercover in some of the biggest east coast Mob families. In this episode, Delaney spoke to Giovanni and Dutch about how he was recruited to work undercover, the innerworkings of how he infiltrated the Genovese and Bruno Crime Families and his transition to high-profile NBA referee.

Some consider Casino (1995), the best collaboration between Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, and Martin Scorsese. Others think it just a re-hash of previously told stories. So we went back and watched it. New characters and new locations bring something different to a tale about trying to find success in a pre-defined society. But does it really change the overall impact of the story?

**Discussion begins at 4:15**Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson, 99 years ago this week.  Rising to fame in the 1950s, she captivated audiences with her beauty, charm, and vulnerability.  She starred in numerous successful films, including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Seven Year Itch, and Some Like It Hot, solidifying her status as a Hollywood legend.  Despite her glamorous public image, Norma Jeane battled with personal struggles including mental health issues, substance abuse, and a string of troubled relationships.   On August 5, 1962, Norma Jeane was found dead in her Los Angeles home at the age of 36.  The official cause of death was listed as a probable suicide due to an overdose of barbiturates.  A bottle of sleeping pills was found near her bed, and she had reportedly been dealing with depression in the weeks leading up to her death.  However, her death has remained shrouded in mystery and controversy.  Numerous inconsistencies in the timeline of her final hours, the delay in contacting authorities, and the disappearance of personal documents and records have fueled speculation that her death may not have been a simple suicide.  Some believe that foul play was involved, citing her alleged affairs with high-profile political figures such as President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy as a possible motive for a cover-up.  Other theories range from involvement by the CIA or FBI to suggestions that Norma was silenced due to knowledge of state secrets.  Whether her death was a tragic accident, a suicide, or something more sinister, it remains one of Hollywood's most tragic mysteries.Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

In this episode, Anthony Ruggiano Jr. details his life as son of Gambino enforcer and hitman Anthony “Fat Andy” Ruggiano. From a teen partying at the Copacabana, to his severe struggle with drug addiction and years in witness protection, this episode is an honest look at Ruggiano Jr.'s journey through a life of money, power, greed and redemption. Now decades out of the Mob life, he has found purpose through reform and sobriety.   About Anthony Ruggiano Jr.: Anthony Ruggiano Jr., once a proposed member of the Gambino crime family, was born into a world where violence and power were currency. Having served under Mob bosses Paul Castellano and John Gotti, Ruggiano Jr.'s descent into crime was as inevitable as his eventual reckoning. After turning his back on that life, Ruggiano Jr. has long maintained his sobriety and commitment to personal transformation. Now, 36 years clean, he shares his journey of addiction, redemption and reform.  Produced by The Mob Museum.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, Gary Jenkins sits down with retired FBI agent and organized crime historian Bill Ouseley for a deep dive into the Mob's transition from bootlegging during Prohibition to dominating the narcotics trade. Ouseley, known for his books Open City and Mobsters in Our Midst, shares insights from his years investigating the Kansas City crime family and the Vegas skimming cases. The conversation traces how organized crime evolved after Prohibition, finding new profit in the rising black market for drugs. From the early days when narcotics were sold in pharmacies and corner stores to the complex, international networks run by the Mob, Ouseley explains how organized crime adapted and thrived. Jenkins and Ouseley discuss the rise of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics in 1930, the societal shift in attitudes toward drug use, and how policy changes created a perfect storm for the Mob to exploit. Ouseley highlights how figures like Harry Anslinger pushed for punitive drug laws that unintentionally fueled organized crime, and how the government's focus on punishment over treatment helped entrench addiction and criminal networks.

Welcome to Gangland Wire. I have a friend of mine that I'm interviewing today. You might notice there's not going to be any video with a bunch of images in there. It's FBI agent Bill Ouseley. Bill, he was the case agent for all the skimming from Las Vegas cases from the Kansas City end. We worked with him over the years hand in glove in the intelligence unit. And he's a good guy. He still lives in Kansas City. He's written a couple of books, by the way. He's got Open City, which is the history of the Kansas City mob, starting back in the Black Hand days and going all the way up till about the time he came here in the early 60s. Then he wrote a second book, which is really about his career and all the different cases he worked with additional information about the local Savella family, which would have been the Savella family by the time he got here in the, I think, 1964, maybe. I graduated from high school in 63.   [1:02] Today, we're going to talk about the history of the mob and narcotics. You know, it's all a much-discussed subject that whether they approve of them dealing in narcotics. You know, they do on the QT, they do in different ways. They invest money, maybe loan money and high rates of interest, if you will, to narcotics dealers or some of them, you know, deal directly. You know, the Bonanno family was famous for dealing directly with narcotics. Genovese went to jail for dealing in narcotics. So historically.   [1:34] Kansas City, I don't believe Nick Savella really, he did not approve of it. He didn't allow his guys to do it directly. There were some people that were indirectly involved in narcotics. Now, whether they kicked money up or whether they were using their own money or somebody else's money to invest in these narcotics operations,

The Godfather 1 & 2, Any Given Sunday Rush Hour 2I just read on impactful book called : Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies & The Mob! I read it cover to cover because it was intense & fascinating.Actor Gianni Russo has led an intriguing life.Gianni Russo was a handsome 25-year-old mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, the husband of Connie Corleone, who set her brother Sonny—played by James Caan—up for a hit. Russo didn't have to act—he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing.Along the way, Russo befriended Frank Sinatra, who became his son's godfather, and Marlon Brando, who mentored his career as an actor after trying to get Francis Ford Coppola to fire him from The Godfather. Russo had passionate affairs with Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minelli, and scores of other celebrities. He went on to become a producer and starred in The Godfather: Parts I and II, Seabiscuit, Any Given Sunday and Rush Hour 2, among many other films.Hollywood Godfather is a no-holds-barred account of a life filled with violence, glamour, sex—and fun.Gianni Russo Wines launched nationally in 2009. And he has an expanded product line coming out this year.Born in Manhattan and raised in Little Italy and Staten Island, Russo overcame polio as a child to start his first “business” at the tender age of twelve, selling pens and erasers on the street corners. At eighteen Russo made his first trip to Miami, where he began to dabble in show-business, working in nightclubs and hotspots before deciding to pursue acting and move to Hollywood.His Book: Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies & the Mob is an eye-opening read.All Rights Reserved © 2025© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Hi guys, we hope you had a fabulous Easter! We just got back from the high seas and have a new show with stories coming out of a New York City courtroom, a Pennsylvania prison, the U.K. Supreme Court… and a lab in Alabama.First of all: Free Harvey Weinstein. Yes, you heard that right. On this week's show, we explain why the retrial of the über-liberal Hollywood producer for sex offenses should alarm conservatives. We'll bring you the latest on the case—a miscarriage of justice currently unfolding in a New York courtroom.Mob justice is mob justice—whether it's against a leftist Hollywood producer or a former President.And leftists discover that an embryo is a human (when it suits them). We reveal how a New York Times journalist comes to a shocking realization when investigating IVF… you'll have to watch the show to find out what it is.Across the pond, the U.K. Supreme Court declares: a woman is a woman. The suspense was killing us, but now we officially know what a woman is. We examine the backlash to this simple truth.Plus, we interview a truth-seeking investigative journalist who wants you to take a fresh look at the Jerry Sandusky/Penn State child sex abuse scandal. Let us know in the comments what you think of his conclusions.As you probably know, Pope Francis died on Monday. Stay tuned for our upcoming content to understand how history's most left-wing Pope was increasingly left behind as his congregation (particularly in the U.S.) grew tired of progressivism. Will his replacement be any different?P.S. Last but not least—subscribe and leave a comment wherever you get our content! We may read it on the air—both the good and the bad—just like we did this week.

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.

3:08 Houston Ditches Fluoride: The Toxic Truth They Don't Want You to KnowHouston, Texas, has quietly stopped adding fluoride to its water since 2019, despite spending millions on toxic hydrofluorosilicic acid contracts. Derrick Broze's open records requests uncover a huge expense and a hidden agenda.  Is this the beginning of a nationwide fluoride rebellion? 12:28 Trump's ATF Continues Using Pistol Braces to Turn Law-Abiding Citizens into FelonsA crazy defendant and an opportunistic bureaucracy looking to extend their nullification of the 2nd Amendment.  Meanwhile, there seems to be amnesia about Trump banning pistol braces by Exec Order back in 2019.  Biden continued it and despite lawsuits halting Biden's rules, the bureaucracy persists 27:55 Killer Pills: Tennessee's Bold Move to Expose Psychiatric Drug Links in Mass ShootingsAfter the Nashville school shooting, will this groundbreaking legislation reveal the deadly truth Big Pharma wants to hide?  Tennessee's new law demands autopsies for mass shooters to uncover ties to psychotropic drugs like SSRIs—known to trigger murder-suicide impulses. 33:53 Scotland's Digital ID and US RealID: A Global ID NightmareAs the TSA readies to enforce Real ID in the U.S. as a domestic “passport” it's funny how Scotland, US, Ukraine all have the same goal.  Are we all being herded into a global control grid by 2030? 36:28 Will Daylight Savings Time Become Permanent?Like tariffs, it's the constantly changing nature that's the worst thing.  Yet sanity may be scuttled by the fight over which standard to impose 51:46 iPhone Tariff Alarm Snoozed, Toggled On/Off in Just HoursIs it an exemption or not an exemption? Cabinet members contradicted by Trump who contradicts himself.  From iPhones to semiconductors, are his flip-flops a sign of weakness or is it a dollar sign that Trump can be bought for $1 MILLION? 1:05:48 Winning? NVIDIA's AI Factories: The Robot Revolution That'll Enslave Us AllNVIDIA's $500 billion AI chip plants in Texas aren't about jobs—they're about robotic domination! Using AI and digital twins, these factories will run on nuclear power, sidelining humans and empowering technocrats. As the UN adds shipping taxes (for the climate MacGuffin), is this the blueprint for a global AI dystopia? 1:23:43 LIVE comments from audience The Trade War with China — 3 Views of Who Will Win and Why      1:32:13 View from Victor Davis Hansen     1:43:17 View from UK Telegraph     1:55:18 View from Russia Today 2:01:39 LIVE comments from audience 2:03:28 The White House's Full-Throated Presentation of the Gospel 2:10:47 Pastor's Nightmare in South Africa: Kidnapped in Church and a Mob's Burning JusticeA Tennessee missionary's faith was tested in the most chilling way when armed men stormed his South African church, kidnapping him in front of his family in a brazen ransom plot! Just weeks before, he faced a mob of 200 ready to burn a thief alive—until his sermon of forgiveness stopped them. In a nation plagued by 17,000 abductions in 2023, this pastor's harrowing tale reveals the lawless chaos gripping South Africa 2:16:55 Antichrist Agenda: Christian Zionists Deny Christ for IsraelProminent figures like John Hagee deny Jesus as the Messiah, replacing Him with the political idolatry of Zionism. As Zionist policies fuel Gaza's horrors, Christian leaders sell out for power, leading followers into idolatry. Will this satanic influence, gaining popularity, tear apart true faith? 2:36:07 LIVE comments from audience 2:40:55 Hamas Grows Stronger Amid Netanyahu's Deadly DeceptionsShocking Israeli military admissions reveal a catastrophic failure: Hamas fighters have surged to 40,000, doubling pre-war estimates, while only 25% of their tunnels have been destroyed. With 50,000 Gazans dead and Netanyahu's secret funding of Hamas through Qatar exposed, this isn't a just war—it's a genocidal farce!

SPEAKING SOON TO RUSSELL SHORTO FOR HIS NEW "TAKING MANHATTAN: The Extraordinary Events That Created New York and Shaped America:" 4/4: Smalltime: A Story of My Family and the Mob. by Russell Shorto https://www.amazon.com/Smalltime-Story-My-Family-Mob/dp/0393245586/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Family secrets emerge as a best-selling author dives into the history of the mob in small-town America. The best-selling author Russell Shorto, praised for his incisive works of narrative history, never thought to write about his own past. He grew up knowing his grandfather and namesake was a small-town mob boss but maintained an unspoken family vow of silence. Then an elderly relative prodded: You're a writer―what are you gonna do about the story? Smalltime is a mob story straight out of central casting―but with a difference, for the small-town mob, which stretched from Schenectady to Fresno, is a mostly unknown world. The location is the brawny postwar factory town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The setting is City Cigar, a storefront next to City Hall, behind which Russ and his brother-in-law, “Little Joe,” operate a gambling empire and effectively run the town. Smalltime is a riveting American immigrant story that travels back to Risorgimento Sicily, to the ancient, dusty, hill-town home of Antonino Sciotto, the author's great-grandfather, who leaves his wife and children in grinding poverty for a new life―and wife―in a Pennsylvania mining town. It's a tale of Italian Americans living in squalor and prejudice, and of the rise of Russ, who, like thousands of other young men, created a copy of the American establishment that excluded him. Smalltimedraws an intimate portrait of a mobster and his wife, sudden riches, and the toll a lawless life takes on one family. undated PA COAL BREAKERS
