Elle Johnson is a TV writer. Her credits include Law & Order, CSI: Miami, Ghost Whisperer, and The Fosters. One of Elle's career highlights came on The Glades where she wrote and produced an episode set in the world of NASCAR that featured nine actual racecars, four champion drivers, and one monkey. She was co-showrunner on Netflix's Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam CJ Walker which won an NAACP Image award for best limited series. Most recently she was an Executive Producer on the Amazon original series Bosch, based on the Michael Connelly detective novels. Originally from Hollis, Queens Elle graduated from Harvard College, studied writing on a Rotary Scholarship at the University of East Anglia in England, and has taken numerous classes at UCLA Extension Writers' Program. She was a finalist for UCLA's 2015 Allegra Johnson Prize in Memoir Writing. The Officer's Daughter is her first book. SYNOPSIS When Elle Johnson was 16 years old, her 16 year-old cousin Karen had her face blown off at point blank range in a robbery at a Burger King in the Bronx. Elle comes from a family of black law enforcement officers. Her uncle, Karen's dad, was a homicide detective. Her father was a parole officer. The aftermath of Karen's murder, the cross-country manhunt spearheaded by the NYPD and the FBI to find the killers, and the subsequent trials and media circus, marked the defining end of Elle's childhood innocence. Thirty years later, living in Los Angeles, writing for various television shows (including several police procedurals), Elle receives an email from Karen's brother notifying her that one of the killers is up for parole. Asked to write a letter encouraging the parole board not to set him free Elle realizes that before she can write a letter condemning a man she's never met, she must also investigate the hard truths of her own past: family who never really spoke of the devastating effect the murder of her young cousin had on any of them, with secrets of their own, and a complicated father she never truly understood. The Officer's Daughter is the story of a family, a terrible tragedy, and the power--and ultimately the freedom--of forgiveness.

On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Chuck and Mark are joined by Dinesh D'Souza, a bestselling author and filmmaker who regularly exposes the lies of the progressive movement that is the Democratic Party. Leading up to the 2016 presidential election, Dinesh D'Souza released the film Hillary's America, and he has recently released Death of a Nation. D'Souza explains how his film reveals the truth on many of the threats we face today in America. Chuck and Mark bring up some critical current issues, and Dinesh offers detailed insights that proves why the left sees him as a threat to their agenda. He also mixes in some details of his film, Death of a Nation, with his explanations. Chuck and Mark continue by asking question about a few topics that D'Souza has personal experience with. This includes the questions about President Trump's campaign finances, progressive strongholds on college campuses and the Democrats forcing racial issues on society. They wrap up the show by discussing the importance of Death of a Nation and what he hopes people will take away from it. Chuck and Mark ask what the film will mean for our nation's prosperity. D'Souza says the film will be out before the midterms; if people take the time to watch it, then it could have a great impact on the elections. More about Dinesh D'Souza: Dinesh D'Souza is a bestselling author and filmmaker. His films, 2016: Obama's America and America: Imagine A World Without Her, are respectively the #2 and #6 highest political documentaries of all time. D'Souza's latest feature-length film, Hillary's America, is widely credited with contributing to Hillary Clinton's defeat in 2016, and quickly joined his first two films in the top 10 political documentaries of all time. D'Souza's latest film, Death of a Nation, builds on this success and takes on progressive big lies, finally proving once and for all that the real party of fascism and racism is now and has always been the Democratic Party. Born in Mumbai, India, Dinesh has truly lived the American Dream. He moved to the United States to attend school on a Rotary Scholarship. Following graduation from Dartmouth College, he went on to work in the Reagan White House as a policy analyst. D'Souza has served as the John M. Olin Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the Robert and Karen Rishwain Fellow at Stanford University. D'Souza served as president of The King's College in New York City from 2010 to 2012. D'Souza has won numerous awards including "Best Documentary" for America (The Dove Foundation), and he has been called one of the "top young public-policy makers in the country" by Investor's Business Daily. As the author of over 15 nationally renowned books—many of them #1 New York Times bestsellers—D'Souza has been invited to speak to groups all over the country on politics, philosophy, and Christianity. His razor-sharp wit and entertaining style have allowed him to participate in highly-publicized debates about politics and Christianity with some of the most famous atheists and leftists of our time, including Christopher Hitchens, Bill Ayers, and others. One of D'Souza's favorite venues for debates and speeches has always been college campuses. During the past 25 years, he has appeared at hundreds of colleges and universities and spoken with hundreds of thousands of students in these live settings. D'Souza has been named one of America's most influential conservative thinkers by the New York Times Magazine. The World Affairs Council lists him as one of the nation's 500 leading authorities on international issues, and Newsweek cited him as one of the country's most prominent Asian-Americans. D'Souza's articles have appeared in virtually every major magazine and newspaper, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair, New Republic, Forbes, and National Review. He has appeared...
