Princess Diana�s butler Paul Burrell says �James Hewitt is NOT Harry�s dad� after

shocking claims emerge in BBC drama King Charles III

BBC adaptation causes controversy after it dredges up the previously discredited claims.

PRINCESS Diana�s butler Paul Burrell has said �James Hewitt is NOT Harry�s dad�

after it was revealed the shocking claims would be repeated in BBC drama King Charles

III.

The adaptation has caused controversy by dredging up the discredited rumours that Princess Diana�s

lover fathered Harry, instead of Prince Charles � with Burrell insisting the claims are

�farcical�.

He told The Mirror: �It�s something that�s been made up.

It was just because Harry had red hair, but all the Spencers have red hair.

�If it ever did come up, Diana just laughed because it is farcical.�

Burrell said the decision of BBC bosses to repeat the rumours will �infuriate� the

young prince.

He added �Now, for Harry�s sake, everyone should put it to rest.

He must be sick of it.�

The show, set to air on BBC 2 at 9pm tonight, opens with the Queen�s funeral and follows

Charles and his family as he takes the crown.

In the controversial scene which dredges up the old paternity rumours, Prince Harry�s

friends introduce him to a commoner called Jess as a potential romantic interest.

She then asks him: �Is Charles really your dad?

Or was it the other one?�

Noting his �very ginger� hair, she says: ��Cos if Hewlitt [sic] was your dad instead,

you would be out the family.�Diana�s former butler is not the only one to speak out about

the scene.

Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, Diana�s closest confidante, Rosa Monckton, said: �The

BBC is deliberately causing pain to a real living person in a salacious fashion; I don�t

think this is why millions pay their licence fee.�

Penny Junor, author of an acclaimed biography of Harry, also weighed in, saying it is �irresponsible�

of the BBC to broadcast the claims.

Senior Tory Sir Nicholas Soames, fellow Conservative Jacob Rees-Mogg, writer and broadcaster Hugo

Vicker and Royal biographer Margaret Holder also denounced the BBC�s latest drama in

interviews with the Mail on Sunday.

Earlier this year Hewitt himself denied the 20-year rumour.

Speaking on Australian Channel Seven�s Sunday Night, Hewitt discussed his love affair with

the late princess.

Asked by host Melissa Doyle if he was Prince Harry�s biological father, he replied: �No

I�m not.�

When pressed further on the persistent whispers, he told the presenter: �It sells papers.

It�s worse for him, probably, poor chap.�

Princess Diana's former protection officer Ken Wharfe has also said there is no substance

to the claims, revealing that the dates do not add up.

It has been confirmed Diana did not meet Hewitt until two years after Harry�s birth in September

1984.

The pair went on to have an affair between 1986 and 1991.

Robby Mook: President Donald Trump Is Running Over Congress | MSNBC - Duration: 6:07.

>>> DEMOCRATS WOULD BE DANCING IN THE STREETS IF HILLARY

CLINTON HAD WON, SHE WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY HAVE FIRED JAMES

COMEY. >> WELL, THAT, OF COURSE, WAS

DEPUTY WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS

ON "MORNING JOE." IN DOCUMENTS RELEASED BY THE

WHITE HOUSE, DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL ROD ROSENSTEIN CITES

COMEY'S HANDLING OF THE HILLARY CLINTON E-MAIL INVESTIGATION AS

GROUNDS FOR HIS DISMISSAL. AT ONE POINT WRITING, QUOTE, I

CANNOT DEFEND THE DIRECTOR'S HANDLING OF THE CONCLUSION OF

THE INVESTIGATION OF SECRETARY CLINTON'S E-MAILS.

WELL, HERE'S SOMEBODY WHO'S DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE A

CHOICE REACTION, FORMER CLINTON PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN MANAGER,

ROBBY MOOK. ROBBY, I WANT TO GET YOUR

REACTION TO SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS.

WOULD HILLARY CLINTON HAVE FIRED JAMES COMEY?

>> YOU KNOW, HILLARY CLINTON WASN'T ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE

UNITED STATES, DONALD TRUMP WAS. I THINK THIS IS A CLASSIC

EXAMPLE OF HOW THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS TRYING TO GET

US TO DEBATE, YOU KNOW, WHAT WOULD HILLARY HAVE DONE.

LET'S GO BACK TO 2016 AND RELITIGATE THE CAMPAIGN AND NOT

KEEP THE FOCUS ON THE CHOICE THAT DONALD TRUMP MADE HERE.

>> WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT, BUT I'M NOT PART OF THE TRUMP

CAMPAIGN. THIS IS ME ASKING YOU.

WOULD HILLARY CLINTON HAVE FIRED JAMES COMEY?

>> I HONESTLY HAVE NO CLUE. YOU KNOW, WE WERE RUNNING A

CAMPAIGN, WE WERE FOCUSED ON WINNING VOTES, AND THIS

DISCUSSION NEVER CAME UP AND NEVER -- WE NEVER FRANKLY HAD

THE OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE SHE WASN'T ELECTED TO EVEN MAKE

THESE SORTS OF CONSIDERATIONS. YOU KNOW WHAT, FRANKLY, IT

DOESN'T MATTER. WHAT'S CONCERNING HERE TODAY IS

THAT THE SAME DAY THAT SUBPOENAS WERE COMING OUT IN THE FBI PROBE

INTO RUSSIA, ALL OF A SUDDEN DONALD TRUMP DECIDES TO FIRE

JAMES COMEY. AND NOT JUST THAT, HE DECIDES TO

MAKE THE EXCUSE OR HIS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT MAKES THE EXCUSE THAT

ALL OF A SUDDEN HE CARES VERY MUCH ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON AND

HOW SHE WAS TREATED BY THE FBI. IT'S THE MOST RIDICULOUS EXCUSE

I THINK THEY POSSIBLY COULD HAVE COME UP WITH, AND I'M SURPRISED

THEY THOUGHT THAT ANYONE WOULD FALL FOR THIS.

IT'S JUST SO TRANSPARENTLY FALSE.

>> WELL, LAST NIGHT YOU TWEETED, QUOTE, TWIELT ZONE.

I WAS AS DISAPPOINTED AND FRUSTRATED AS ANYONE AS HOW THE

CLINTON E-MAIL WAS HANDLED, BUT THIS TERRIFIES ME.

MORE SPECIFICALLY, WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS?

WHEN YOU SAW THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP -- I UNDERSTAND THAT

YOU'RE SAYING THAT THIS IS RIDICULOUS, IT'S UNHEARD OF.

BESIDES BEING SHOCKED, WHAT SPECIFICALLY WERE YOUR THOUGHTS

WHEN YOU HEARD THIS? >> WELL, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE

BALANCE OF POWER IN THIS COUNTRY.

AND A PRESIDENT WHO SEEMS TO THINK THAT HE'S ABOVE THE LAW.

I CAN'T IMAGINE ANY OTHER PRESIDENT GETTING AWAY WITH

THIS, AND I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T EITHER.

I WAS THE FIRST ONE, AS WE JUST DISCUSSED, I WAS THE FIRST ONE

TO CRITICIZE JAMES COMEY. I WAS -- I THOUGHT THE WAY HE

HANDLED THAT INVESTIGATION WAS NOT GOOD AND THERE WAS AN

INVESTIGATION IN PLACE INTO HIS CONDUCT AND I WAS LOOKING

FORWARD TO SEEING THE RESULTS OF THAT.

BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS HERE, WHEN THE PRESIDENT -- WHEN

THE PRESIDENT'S OWN CAMPAIGN, HIS OWN ASSOCIATES ARE UNDER

INVESTIGATION, HE CAN'T JUST LET GO OF NOT JUST THE LEADER OF THE

FBI, HE'S LET GO OF TWO OTHER OFFICIALS WITHIN THE JUSTICE

DEPARTMENT WHO WERE ALSO INVESTIGATING THIS.

AND THAT'S WHY THE CONGRESS HAS TO STEP UP HERE TO PROTECT THE

BALANCE OF POWER IN THIS COUNTRY AND APPOINT A SPECIAL

PROSECUTOR. WE CAN'T RELY ON THE TRUMP

ADMINISTRATION TO APPOINT SOMEONE.

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE THAT THAT PERSON WILL BE

EVEN-HANDED OR FAIR IN THIS PROCESS.

AND CONGRESS NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO THEIR DUTY UNDER THE

CONSTITUTION. THEY ARE ONE OF THE THREE

BRANCHES OF POWER HERE, AND THEY ARE SLOWLY LETTING THE PRESIDENT

JUST RUN ROUGHSHOD OVER OUR LEGAL SYSTEM.

>> HE'S NOT SHUTTING DOWN THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION.

IS THERE NOT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO TAKE THIS AS A POSITIVE

GIVEN HOW AGGRESSIVELY YOU HAVE COME OUT AGAINST JAMES COMEY AND

HOW HE HANDLED HILLARY CLINTON'S E-MAILS?

ISN'T THERE A CHANCE HERE IF THERE IS A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR,

WE DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOING TO BE NAMED NEXT AS THE HEAD OF THE

FBI. THIS COULD MOVE THINGS FORWARD.

THERE IS A LOT OF FOCUS TODAY ON THIS RUSSIA INVESTIGATION AND

THERE'S IN FACT MORE PRESSURE ON REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS TO NOT

LET THIS JUST SLIDE UNDER THE RUG.

COULDN'T THIS BE A POSITIVE? >> WELL, I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THIS

QUESTION BECAUSE I THINK WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION WAS TRYING TO

DO HERE WAS MAKE A CLEVER POLITICAL MOVE AND DO SOMETHING

THAT THEY THOUGHT THE DEMOCRATS WOULD SUPPORT.

THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WE LIKE OUR COUNTRY AND WE WANT TO

PROTECT OUR CONSTITUTION MORE THAN WE WANT TO HAVE SORT OF

PETTY FIGHTS WITH THE FBI. AGAIN, NO ONE DISAPPROVED OF

COMEY'S HANDLING OF THE INVESTIGATION MORE THAN ME.

BUT THE WAY THIS WAS DONE, THE TIMING OF THIS, THE FACT THAT HE

FIRED HIM THE DAY THAT IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THESE SUBPOENAS

WERE GOING OUT IN THE RUSSIA PROBE, WE KNOW THAT THE

PRESIDENT HAS AN ERRATIC TEMPERAMENT.

IT'S BEEN REPORTED THAT HE WAS LOSING HIS TEMPER OVER THIS

RUSSIA INVESTIGATION. WE CANNOT LET OURSELVES GET

LULLED INTO ACCEPTING THIS KIND OF ERRATIC AND COMPLETELY

INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR THAT PUTS THE PRESIDENT ABOVE THE LAW.

AGAIN, HE HAS FIRED THREE PEOPLE WHO WERE ACTIVELY INVESTIGATING

HIM, AND AT EVERY JUNCTURE, HE HASN'T JUST FIRED THEM, HE'S

DONE NOTHING TO REASSURE US THAT HE WANTS THIS INVESTIGATION TO

CONTINUE. AND SO I THINK EVERYBODY,

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, HAVE TO SPEAK OUT.

IF WE LET THIS BECOME PARTISAN AND IF WE GET DOWN INTO

RELITIGATING THE ELECTION LAST YEAR, WE'RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO

THE GAME AND WE'RE PUTTING OUR CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY AT

RISK. >> ROB, YOU'RE RIGHT, THE

PRESIDEN

Is Pippa Middleton Pregnant With Nico Jackson's Child - Duration: 1:51.

Is Pippa Middleton pregnant with her boyfriend Nico Jackson?

We have heard rumors swirling for the last several weeks about Kate Middleton likely

being pregnant with baby number two.

Perhaps we have all been so fixated on Kate�s waistline that it took a bit longer to pay

attention to what is happening with her sister, Pippa Middleton.

Have you noticed that she�s not exactly as bu8ff as usual around the middle?

Rumors really started to pick up momentum when she and Nico Jackson were spotted scouting

houses in London.

The catch the potential home must have nannies quarters.

It�s no secret that Pippa�s career as a writer has completely stalled out.

Her party planning book sold so badly last year that a second book was nixxed and then

there was that Lifestyles column that Pippa penned for about 6 months.

Apparently no one cared about how to properly make pasta.

The comments were so bad that moderators eventually closed them down completely before pulling

the plug on it altogether.

Perhaps Pippa has decided to focus on starting her own family.

If you saw her Today Show interview a few weeks back she totally lit up while discussing

Prince George.

Maybe spending time with him has been by far the most rewarding thing that she has experienced

this year.

Do you think that Pippa is actually already pregnant and realizes that her sister Kate�s

pregnancy now would cause her to be on the family backburner again?

Are both Middleton sisters expecting babies?

Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.

thanks for watching.

Gray area foods: What about dark chocolate, red wine, etc.? - Duration: 5:59.

- Hey guys, Robby here from Crossfit South Bend.

Today we're going to talk about gray area foods.

So what are gray area foods?

Well, on the one hand we have foods that tend to be

overall health promoting.

These are foods that I would say you have

the green light for generally.

Almost all cases, so quality protein that's grass fed,

pasture raised, from a local family farm.

Lots of healthy produce, vegetables mostly,

but also some fruit, healthy fats, things like coconut,

Macadamian nut, avocados, ghee, so on and so forth.

Herbs and spices, nuts and seeds, those are all

generally health promoting.

Yes, there are certain conditions where some

of those things say, if you have an auto-immune condition,

eggs can be problematic or nightshades, like potatoes,

eggplants, and hot peppers but generally speaking

things on that list tend to have the green lights.

Then of course there are things on the very other side

of things that have the red lights.

Where we say in general you shouldn't be having

them at all unless it's a really really unique occasion.

So processed foods, sugar, soda, alcohol,

I would also throw in there most grains,

again there are certain exceptions here

that we'll talk about but wheat would be

at the top of that list.

Most standard dairy that you would get at stores.

You know, that's corn fed, antibiotic-laden,

and from a factory farm.

And your seed oils, things like canola, cottenseed,

grapeseed, margarine, so on and so forth.

So we got the green light foods, we got the red light foods,

and then we have the things in the middle.

The gray area foods, you might say the yellow light foods.

So what are those things, those are things where

there is published peer reviewed research

to suggest that these things can be healthy

but it's only if they're tolerated.

So what does that mean?

That means that if you can eat them

without having some particular symptom

that's particularly associated with them,

they can be healthy for you.

So let me take the paradigm example here.

Paradigm example here is quality dairy.

Now we've done a talk in the past about how dairy

actually can be healthy if it's grass fed,

if it's full fat, from a local family farm

as opposed to an antibiotic laden feed lot.

So dairy can be healthy but that's if you tolerate it.

So how do we figure out if you tolerate it?

Well, it depends on a lot of different things.

So you know, a lot times with dairy, people can get

head congestion or allergies, they can get skin issues,

they can get digestive issues and it's also gonna depend on

the type of dairy.

People tend to tolerate butter and ghee

very very well because it's very low in lactose

and whey and casein which are the dairy proteins

that can be problematic.

Whereas milk, people tend to tolerate not so much.

So dairy can be a very healthy and nutrient dense

if you tolerate it.

Let's take another example.

What about chocolate?

Raw cacao actually has one of the highest antioxidant

profiles out there in terms of health benefits.

That been said, most chocolate that you find

isn't raw cacao.

Like if you ever ever tasted a hundred percent cacao bar

it's pretty gross, so 70 percent, 80 percent,

they're gonna have some sugar in it.

Can a square of dark chocolate every once in a while

be okay, yeah potentially if you tolerate it.

If it doesn't make you eat the entire bar.

If it doesn't lead to skin issues.

If it doesn't lead to digestive issues.

So you might be saying what if it does lead

to these issues, what do I do then?

Well the decision is really up to.

Is the juice worth the sweetness?

Some people say, you know,

things like well, life isn't worth living

without dark chocolate or red wine

and if that's your attitude then you know,

that's your attitude.

There's nothing wrong with that as long as you're

aware of the consequences.

Other people say, you know, I had someone

who I worked with who she had a little bit

of yogurt and she had a rash on her skin

every time she tried yogurt or any other dairy

for the vast majority of her life.

So it wasn't worth it to her.

So we've talked about grass fed dairy.

We've talked a bit about dark chocolate,

really anything above 70 percent

is what's the gray area food.

You know anything below that is going

to be in the red light food.

Red wine, I would put in that same category.

Legumes to a certain extent.

They're not really a green light food

but they're not really a red light food either.

So beans, peas, and lentils with the exception of soy

and peanuts which I would still probably put

a bit more towards the red light.

You know things like white rice, non-GMO corn,

and quinoa and gluten free steel cut oats,

those could be kind of the gray area of the grain category.

Things like that.

Gluten free treats, which you know, you should not mistake

for health promoting substances but that might be things

to have occasionally that you can have as part

of a celebration but that won't really upset your stomach.

Those are going to be your gray area foods.

And again, most of them with the exception

of the gluten free treats could be health promoting.

So the red wine, the dark chocolate, the grass fed dairy,

you know quinoa, the legumes, they can be healthy

if well tolerated.

And again, well tolerated is going to mean

that they don't cause these symptoms.

And if they do cause these symptoms,

it's something that you have to decide for yourself

is the juice worth the sweets?

Alright guys, I hope you have a better understanding now

of gray areas foods.

Thanks for tuning in, we'll see you next time.

Secrets to Hiring High-Performing Sellers | Jeff Schneider - Sandler Training - Duration: 2:10.

So, you want to hire a certified sales ninja?

Good for you.

Here are some tips to make sure that this hiring process is

more likely to result in a positive outcome.

Hiring sales people is a difficult process and I'm not talking

about glorified order takers or technical support people who are decent

communicators.

I'm talking about real salespeople.

One of the things that makes it challenging is that if they're really

good, they're probably already happily employed by somebody else and making good

money.

Another challenge is that if they're at all persuasive, they can fool

you in the interview process, because the salesperson is selling their favorite

product in the interview - themselves.

Here's a few things I look for when hiring salespeople: number one is

ambition.

What are their goals?

This is a top predictor of success for outside

salespeople.

I want to know what goals they want,why they want them, how badly

they want them, and I really want to understand how they've gone about

accomplishing goals that they set for themselves in the past.

Second thing I want to figure out … is this a good fit?

Right?

I want them to be able to explain to me why everything they've done up until

this point of their career uniquely qualifies them to be successful selling

for me here at my company.

I believe the best predictor of future success is past

success - particularly past success that is looking an awful lot like what I'm

going to ask them to do here at my company.

Third thing I'm looking for is are they persuasive?

I want them to ask me some questions, to interview me, to

make me think, to make me laugh … maybe even to trial close me at the end of

this interview.

If they can do that in an interview, they're demonstrating that

they can do that in the sales call as well.

So, if they're able to do these three things, then I want to meet with

them again, explore the opportunity further, because perhaps they may be that

certified sales ninja that I need to hire.

For more Sandler sales tips and insights, sign up for my newsletter, email me, go to

my YouTube channel, or - better yet - if you're in downtown Portland, visit my

training center as my guest.

Good selling.

The Sanitation-Education Connection: What's a toilet worth in Kenya? - Duration: 11:03.

- [Narrator] Water is not only our life blood,

it's the very fabric of our society.

We need water to drink, to eat, to learn, to work,

and even to play.

We also need toilets to keep our water

and our environment clean.

To keep us healthy, and to allow us dignity.

While more than 600 million people don't have access

to what WHO and UNICEF describe as improved or protected

water sources, toilets are out of reach for many many more.

- 2.5 billion people do not have access to adequate toilets.

10% of the global burden of disease

is linked to water sanitation and hygiene issues.

800,000 deaths in 2012,

640,000 of those were children under the age of five.

We need to talk about toilets.

We don't talk enough about toilets.

So I started thinking well what's a toilet.

According to the British Medical Journal,

it's the most important medical milestone in history.

It's a private and a dignified solution to our bodily needs.

It's a way of disposing of our waste

so that we don't get sick.

So let's talk about the real value, health.

Everyone's aware that there are bugs in our guts.

There are bugs in animals guts, they come out in the feces.

If we're not careful, we don't practice hygiene,

they get into our stomachs and they cause diarrhea.

- If sanitation is improved, then we will be able to curb

or prevent those communicable diseases.

- Long time ago, when we didn't have any tank here,

our children used to drink the water from the dam.

Our children used to suffer a lot.

We had children suffering from diarrhea, cholera.

But now they have started now taking clean water,

those problems are no longer there.

- If you get sick you'll have to go home

and go to the hospital.

And that's wastage of time because others are learning

and they are ahead of you.

- Sanitation and nutrition those are two inseparable things.

- [Corrine] There's a human potential issue.

In the first five years of life, most of the energy

that's consumed goes to brain development.

And there have been countless studies that demonstrate

that if you don't have good nutrition,

you do have cognitive development problems.

And so all of these children with chronic diarrhea

are not reaching their full potential.

- If the kids are not healthy, if the kids are malnutreated,

they can't go to school, they can't focus well,

they can't think, they can't read.

They can't concentrate in school.

- [Corrine] Even if you have the nutrition,

you don't have the diarrhea,

so that you can maximize your cognitive potential.

How were you meant to learn?

If you can't go to school because you're too sick.

And/or you can't go because they don't have proper

feminine hygiene resources and facilities.

And how can you be taught, if the female teacher

can't come in to school one week a month.

- [Woman] We have children who come from very poor families,

they cannot afford the sanitary towels,

so you find almost in every month they find those girls

missing school three to five days,

so if we can have the sanitary towels,

we'll be able to help those children not miss school.

- Whenever a girl has a these issues,

they come to my class and I always offer them at least,

three pads to keep the girl going for that day.

We make sure that we retain them in the school so that

they can keep on learning.

It is very important because these girls

will never fail to come to school.

- [Narrator] Girls may not get to school in the morning

because they have to fetch water for the family.

If the school doesn't have enough water, they may have to go

and collect it for everyone, instead of being in class.

(melodic piano music)

- I work mostly with kids with special needs,

with disability.

But most of our schools, most of the institutions in Kenya

are not friendly to people living with disabilities.

- There's a toilet, it's not accessible.

Meaning they will not go to school completely.

But if we retain these kids to school,

we'll be able to catch up with the others.

- And they estimate that lack of access, poor access

to sanitation costs 260 billion dollars every year.

To national economies.

Between two and five percent of countries GDP

lost because of lack of access, poor access to sanitation.

And the consequences of that, through productivity.

Through potential, and through healthcare system.

- The only source of income for the parents that are not

employed is cultivating the land.

And they have very small pieces of land.

They cannot afford the food, and the same food they sell

and get the extra finances for children.

So you find it's very difficult for them.

- When we're sick and we go to work, you're not engaged.

You're not working to your full potential.

It's called presenteeism, so absenteeism is when you're sick

and presenteeism is when you're at work or school

but you're really not engaged enough because you're not

feeling great.

- If you are not feeling good, you are not feeling okay,

you cannot perform.

You cannot perform, a child cannot perform if she's sick.

Or he is sick, he cannot.

- [Narrator] We know that children who are sick don't learn.

And this could make it more difficult to get

well paying jobs in the future.

People who are sick don't earn money,

and they probably have to spend money

on healthcare and medicines.

Ultimately poor health can keep poor people poor,

and it can pull people who are just keeping

their heads above water, below the poverty line.

- There is no community where there are no poverty.

And where poverty is, also diseases arrive there.

Those children who get those diseases,

when you follow them up to their homes,

you get the young ones are not immunized,

they don't have even enough food,

so even to get a balanced diet is a problem.

Even to get a toilet is a problem.

So it is all connected.

- It's the few shillings that they had for buying food,

they will spend it on medicine.

Or taking these kids to school.

And therefore if sanitation is improved,

the economy of the country will go up, because we will not

be going to the hospitals, kids will be very productive

because they will not miss school because of sickness.

They will improve the standard of education which will

eventually improve the economic standards of the country.

- [Narrator] Climate change is a threat

to these ongoing solutions, and their positive impacts

on health and on social and economic development.

Changing frequencies, duration, and intensity of

precipitation affects our expected weather patterns,

making them more unpredictable.

Heavy rains and floods can damage existing drinking water

treatment, toilet and waste water management infrastructure.

While floods and droughts affect water availability

and water quality for drinking and domestic use,

food production, sanitation, and hygiene.

- [Man] In the last couple of years,

weather patterns have changed quite considerably.

And that's not reliable any longer.

It's not predictable.

Even when they come, people need to find better ways of

making use of that water.

- [Narrator] Technical solutions are necessary,

but insufficient.

Education, behavior change, and the investment

in adequate resources require government action.

Which includes long term policies and planning.

- In most of the countries sanitation have been

taken very, very seriously.

Especially in Canada and the U.S.

but in Africa and in Kenya, too, sanitation is taken

very lightly, you know as long as we food you,

as long as we have some medicine in the hospital,

you know as long as we pay the workers, as long as we have

good security then the rest can take care of themselves.

And sanitation is kind of abandoned.

- For the government they have a lot of other needs

for the schools.

So they tend to ignore or rather forget

some of these basic needs.

- They think about building classrooms,

building good administration blocks,

without even thinking about water.

Bringing water to the school.

- We have a problem with the policy makers,

within the educational framework.

Because there is no money that is connected,

or resources connected to health and sanitation

for the schools.

- If you are without water, clean water,

you are going nowhere.

Without proper toilets, you are going nowhere.

- I don't want to leave you in doom and gloom.

Yes we've got a mountain to climb...

- But it's not just all gloomy.

- There are solutions out there.

There are solutions that can generate the money

to be able to finance themselves.

There are solutions that help protect the environment.

And there are solutions that start building an economy.

- We can change the situation.

- We need people who are researching,

we need people who are funding,

we need people who are building,

we need people who are using toilets.

Why are we letting this happen?

- How many days are we gonna wait?

How many years?

- Let us build the capacity of our communities.

Let us bring hope back to them.

- We need to be working with communities,

not on communities.

- We should take sanitation very seriously.

'Cause if we joined hands, all of us,

non-government organizations, government departments,

and everybody else that has sanitation in his or her heart,

the future of sanitation in this country is very bright.

- Everybody needs to own this.

Solutions have to be sustainable.

We need to be more efficient in the way in which

we spend money, particularly governments.

The work of NGO's are to come in to support,

to help, to work with, and to be able to leave

knowing that there's a legacy.

Knowing that there's sustainability there.

Because ultimately, all of us bare the burden.

The moral and physical imperative

to bring sanitation everywhere.

So what are toilets worth?

They're priceless.

Notes on "Ephphatha" - Duration: 1:06.

The poem "Ephaphatha" is based on an ancient word in the Aramaic language,

which means "Be opened."

Whether it be the opening of the ear, mind, or heart is up to interpretation.

The poem takes place in Jesus's lifetime.

It was in Decapolis, a region, where Jesus walked and saw a deaf person.

Jesus placed his finger on the tongue of the deaf person and his hand on the ear of the deaf person.

Then, Jesus said, "Ephphatha."

Suddenly, the deaf person could hear again.

Instead of focusing on the deaf person's experience, the poem focuses on the public's reaction.

One group of people looked on in amazement, recorded the miracle, and then spread it around.

The other group of people, rather than hearing "Ephphatha" with their ears, heard it with their heart.

They were literally opened to the deaf person's experience, which they took to heart,

as what was truly Jesus's teaching.

The tone of the poem is direct, as the narrator says this happened and that happened.

Ultimately, the poem is about how the word "Ephphatha" impacts different people.

Notes on "The Last Word" - Duration: 1:51.

"The Last Word" is a poem with the topic of war between pro-ASL and anti-ASL people.

The poem takes place in a hearing and speech center where the narrator, who is deaf,

sits across from an oralist teaching speech.

The first word approaches the narrator, who checks it out as a cute/small word.

The oralist breaks up the word and pounds its dead body on its other body parts,

which is also the sign that means "syllable."

The narrator trembles at the atrocity.

Then, the second word comes up, tall and handsome.

The oralist tackles it and cuts up the big word violently into multiple syllables.

The narrator is horrified by the violent death of the second word.

Finally, the narrator runs away with the last word to a safe place of sign language,

where sounds cannot track the word, much to the relief of the narrator and the last word.

Then, the oralist cooks up a plan: Signed Exact English.

The oralist signs "DEAFNESS" using Signed Exact English, which also means "DEAF BURY."

The oralist cuts up a butterfly with a knife and sends a butter flying out.

Then, the oralist modifies the sign "LET" to conform with English and to gain a pair of guns.

As these Signed Exact English signs invade the ASL world, they are caught up in a war,

the war itself literally being influenced by English with the letter "W."

The deaf militants dismantle the Signed Exact English sign for "war" and expel all such signs.

When the deaf militants express their support for sign language, they realize that the very sign for "SUPPORT""

is influenced by English, and the deaf militant who signed that is expelled from the group.

The deaf militants then throw out fruits and vegetables, only to decimate in population as there is no more food.

The signs for "FRUIT" and "VEGETABLE" are influenced by English.

To throw them out leaves the people with nothing.

That exemplifies the humorous tone of the poem.

Upon realizing that they should accept influences from other languages, ASL finally expands.

The overall theme of the poem is the importance of language and communication.

Notes on "To My Mute Muse" - Duration: 1:22.

The poem "To My Mute Muse" brings to mind the ancient times

where Greek sculptors, painters, and poets appealed to the nine goddesses, collectively called the Muses

for their artistic inspiration and creativity.

It is the same with this poem, but the Muse is deaf: Alice Cogswell.

She went to the American School for the Deaf when it was founded in 1817.

There, she met other deaf people and American Sign Language grew thanks to their contribution.

In honor of Alice, Daniel Chester French sculptured her standing next to Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet,

who was one of the founders of American School for the Deaf.

There are two places that have that sculpture: Gallaudet University and American School for the Deaf.

The poem takes place in ASD where the poet walks on the lawn lined with two rows of trees.

The poet gazes in astonishment at the statue when Alice comes to life

and retells her experience at American School for the Deaf and how ASL was born there from deaf people.

Then, Alice says, "Your ASL poems started here. This is your home."

The poet is instantly inspired, which points to the theme of going back to the roots.

The tone is reverent, indicating a deep respect and gratitude to Alice, who never ceases to inspire.

Notes on "Scrollwriter" - Duration: 2:17.

The poem's title "Scrollwriter" resonates with the prophets in ancient times

who transcribed godly or heavenly visions onto sacred scrolls to be preserved over generations.

For example, the Torah in Judaism or the Dead Sea Scrolls

that were discovered to be valuable in Christianity.

So it is with this poem, where American Sign Language is transcribed by George Veditz,

who filmed a collection called "Preservation of Sign Language" in 1913, which is of great value.

Reading the filmstrip is likened to holding a sacred scroll.

In the opening of the poem, Veditz envisions heaven and annotates the vision on a filmstrip,

which does three things at the same time: using sign language, going to the future, and physically unrolling

from the film reel.

Then, the narrator holds the film reel in sheer amazement and lays claim to heaven.

The revelation of the scroll may have taken place in a movie theater or in some museum's archives,

where the narrator searches through boxes in the darkness to find the scroll.

That ties in with the topic of the poem, which involves interacting with a filmstrip.

In the beginning, the prophet Veditz's scroll is processed in a series of flashing images,

projecting to a brighter future.

In the end, the narrator discovers the very scroll after many years and finally understands heaven.

The poem invokes two major themes: transcending Earth by spiritually advancing past ordinary experience.

The other theme is the beauty of sign language and its power in ascent.

The tone is generally awestruck, as the narrator expresses amazement

at how Veditz skillfully transcribed his vision from long ago.

Notes on "My Real Name" - Duration: 2:00.

The poem "My Real Name" features the topic of the water cycle,

where the water starts out as ice, transitioning into the ocean, and then a cloud.

The cycle in the poem ends once Helen Keller learns her first word, which will be expanded upon later on.

In terms of characters, the narrator is water but is not aware that it is water.

Thus, the water goes through an identity crisis during the cycle, starting out as an iceberg,

when the sun, representing enlightenment, says no to the ice-based identity and melts it away

into an ocean, yet the narrator is still not aware that it is water.

When the scientist labels the water as the sea, the water naively accepts the identity.

In doing so, the tone of the poem is impressionable, meaning the water is passive and easily influenced.

Once again, the sun rejects the identity and evaporates the water, which condenses into a cloud.

Having lost its identity, the water turns to the scientist again and finds solace in being labeled as a cloud.

Once again, the sun responds by sending out wind and triggering rain.

The water goes through the cycle until it finally understands that its nature is water.

This is accomplished by going to an Alabama plantation on April 15, 1887

when Helen Keller went to a pump house with Anne Sullivan.

The water from the pump splashed against Helen Keller's hands, which Helen Keller could not see but feel.

As the word W-A-T-E-R was fingerspelled on her hands, Helen Keller finally understood how it had a word.

That experience was intense for Helen Keller as she wrote in her autobiography:

"That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!"

That experience carried great impact and is depicted in contrast with the scientist,

who is focused on the minute stages of the water cycle as opposed to the essence of water.

The scientist clearly labels each component of the cycle: ice, sea, and cloud. But that is all.

The poem explores the spiritual meaning of Helen Keller's understanding.

Is The Untouchables based on a true story? - Duration: 34:12.

Before we begin today's story, I wanted to let you know that this episode includes a

special guest appearance by Cody Wheat from the Shots of History podcast.

If you're into the history of alcohol, Cody's podcast is a great resource to learn about

just that.

Internationally renowned fashion designer Giorgio Armani started the company named after

himself in 1975.

In no time at all, wearing Armani was more than just wearing a nice suit—it was a status

symbol.

Hollywood took notice and, in 1980, Armani got his first credit in the Costume and Wardrobe

department for a suit worn by Richard Gere in American Gigolo.

Seven years later, Giorgio Armani was credited in the wardrobe department for the film set

during the Prohibition, The Untouchables.

Except there's one little fact about Armani's work on The Untouchables that a lot of people

may not know: Armani didn't work on The Untouchables.

The following year, the woman who was the costume designer for The Untouchables, Marilyn

Vance, received her only Oscar nomination for her work on the film.

Shortly after the movie was released, Marilyn explained Armani's role was next to nothing.

In fact, according to Marilyn, she was the only person who worked on the film that even

met Giorgio Armani.

Apparently, while she was working on the film, Marilyn traveled to Milan, Italy to meet with

the now-legendary Italian fashion designer to get his input on the type of suits that

would work for the movie.

Armani not only offered some advice, but shipped over some suits for the actors to wear in

the film.

In exchange, Armani got a credit less than two minutes into the movie and right after

Marilyn, the woman who actually did the costume design work on the film.

[shot sound] So we've just gone through tax season, which

I know is everyone favorite time of the year.

The 16th Amendment gave the federal government the right to collect income taxes, and while

it's logical that more Progressively minded folks would support that, establishing an

income tax also had some support from unlikely places; namely, the temperance movement, and

the people responsible for bringing about Prohibition.

Prior to 1913 the alcohol industry was the 5th largest in the US, and revenue collected

from the sale of alcohol contributed as much as 40% of the tax revenue collected by the

government.

The temperance movement knew that if they were going to get national prohibition, they

needed to have a way of supplementing the income the government currently received from

alcohol.

What the temperance movement didn't think through was just how difficult it would be

to enforce Prohibition, the underground market for alcohol that they were creating, and how

many cops would turn a blind eye to what was happening around the country.

Not every cop was paid off though, and The Untouchables is the story of a few cops, trying

to enforce the law, however controversial it was.

I'm Cody Wheat.

I'm Dan LeFebvre.

And this is Based on a True Story.

If you're new to the show, this is where we take a moment before we jump into the history

behind the movie to play Two Truths and a Lie.

Here's how it works: I'll share three things.

Two of them are true and one of them is a lie.

Listen closely for the two truths scattered throughout the episode.

Then, by process of elimination you'll know which one was a lie.

We'll do a recap at the end of the episode to see how well you did.

OK, here they are: The real Al Capone never sold illegal alcohol

during Prohibition.

Aside from Kevin Costner's character, all of The Untouchables in the movie are fictional

characters.

Ultimately, the real Untouchables weren't the ones primarily responsible for putting

away Al Capone.

As you're enjoying today's story, if you hear something and wonder how it's spelled or even

if you just want to grab a written copy of this episode, you can get that at the show's

home on the web, basedonatruestorypodcast.com.

They're on a pay what you want model, which means you pay a dollar, two dollars, a million

dollars or you can just grab it for free if you can't afford it but still want the written

version.

Once again that's basedonatruestorypodcast.com.

And with that, let's compare history with Hollywood's version of The Untouchables!

————————— MUSIC BUMPER —————————

The movie begins with some text on screen setting up the situation.

The year is 1930 and, according to the film, Prohibition has caused war in the streets

of Chicago.

On one side you have law enforcement, and on the other you have organized crime led

by the infamous Al Capone, who's played by Robert De Niro in the movie.

Specific scenery, of course, is made up, but this whole setup is true.

In October of 1919, and after years of petitioning and lobbying by anti-liquor groups around

the nation, the U.S. Congress added the 18th Amendment to the Constitution and officially

made the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages illegal.

As you can probably guess, it was a law that wasn't loved by everyone.

While legal production of alcohol was prohibited, that only served to create a black market

for the production and sale of liquor.

With a lot of money to be made free of taxes and government oversight, it was the perfect

scenario for a crime boss by the name of Johnny Torrio to add bootlegging illegal liquor alongside

his already profitable prostitution and gambling rings.

The perfect opportunity presented itself in 1920 when, after hearing of the death of his

friend's father, Johnny invited the young Al Capone to come to Chicago to help run his

new bootlegging operations.

Within five years, Johnny Torrio had a close call when rival gangsters almost killed him.

Not tempting fate, Johnny decided to move back to Italy and handed over his entire operation

in Chicago to Al Capone.

Back in the movie, after the introduction to Robert De Niro's version of Al Capone we

meet the man on the other side.

It's Kevin Costner's character, a man by the name of Eliot Ness.

According to the movie, Eliot works for the Treasury Department, and he's been tasked

with enforcing prohibition and taking down Al Capone's illegal liquor sales.

Again, the basic plot is true.

Unlike Al Capone, who was born in Brooklyn, New York, Eliot Ness was a native Chicagoan.

He joined the Treasury Department at the age of 23 on August 26th, 1926, shortly after

prohibition started.

At the time, the Treasury Department had six different law enforcement agencies underneath

it.

One of these was the newly formed Prohibition Unit, which was tasked with hunting down and

finding bootleggers.

As a quick little side note here, this agency under the Treasury Department would go on

to become what we now know as the ATF, or the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and

Explosives.

In the movie, the first raid we see Eliot Ness lead a team of law enforcement officers

on turns out to be a bust.

Instead of rum, Kevin Costner's version of Eliot Ness pulls out a pretty green umbrella

from wooden crates.

All of this is fictionalized for the film, but it's based on the fact that the real Eliot

Ness didn't form the Untouchables right away.

If you recall, Eliot joined the Treasury Department in August of 1926.

It wasn't until three years later that the special team that we now know of as the Untouchables

was formed in August of 1929.

In those three years, Eliot did indeed try to pull off some raids with varying degrees

of success.

Although Al Capone's group was probably the largest outfit in Chicago at the time, prohibition

agents raided bootleggers both large and small.

To give you an idea of what some of the raids were like, there was one in April of 1927

when Eliot Ness and another Treasury Department agent named Frank Wilson went undercover to

a horse racing track.

Their cover led to information that 14 other agents used to raid nearby storehouses, seizing

a wide range of whiskey, gin, rum and beer.

Oh, and to complete their cover, both Eliot and Frank dressed up like stallion-owning

colonels from Kentucky.

There's a mental image for you.

Or there was another time when prohibition agents led by Eliot captured a truck with

a fictitious name on the side.

Checking the contents of the truck, they found it filled with kegs of beer.

That name on the side of the truck?

Acme Scamless Tube Company.

So Eliot did led many types of raids.

Instead of sticking to historical accuracy for the first raid we see in the movie, though,

it uses this one raid as a plot point to help build the idea that perhaps Al Capone was

tipped off of the raid and Eliot can't be successful working with the larger, and often

corrupt, police force.

[Cody] It's easy to see why most Prohibition agents took brides.

When Prohibition went into effect, the federal government on provide enough funding for 1,500

agents, and those 1,500 men were supposed to cover the entire country.

They were given guns and vehicles, but most of them has little or no training.

Their job quickly became one of the most dangerous jobs in the country, and they paid about as

much as a school teacher currently makes in the US.

So when someone like Capione comes to you, offering a level of money that you probably

never thought you would see, and also eliminate the needs for you to put yourself in harms

way….it would be hard not to at least consider that deal.

Okay, back to the movie.

It's after this raid, in the film, we see Kevin Costner's version of Eliot Ness come

across an Irish-American beat cop named Jimmy Malone.

Jimmy's played by Sean Connery in the movie.

In fact, it was for his role as Jimmy Malone that earned Sean Connery his one and only

Oscar win.

After Jimmy, the others in the Untouchables in the movie are Andy Garcia's character,

Agent George Stone, and Charles Martin Smith's portray of Agent Oscar Wallace.

All of these, including Jimmy Malone, are fictional characters.

In truth there were ten men, including Eliot Ness, who were in the Untouchables.

Of course, in a movie it's tough to have an ensemble cast of ten characters, so perhaps

that's why the filmmakers slimmed down the number in the movie to four.

While there's no one to one match for the men we see in the movie and their real counterparts,

as is often the case the characters on the screen take bits and pieces of truth from

the real people.

For example, Sean Connery's character of Jimmy Malone was an Irish-American who served as

Kevin Costner's unofficial second in command on the small task force.

In reality, the man who served as the unofficial second in command to Eliot Ness was another

Irish-American named Martin Lahart, or Marty as he was called.

Although, in the film, Jimmy Malone was also a beat cop of nearly four decades before using

his experience to help guide Kevin Costner's version of Eliot Ness.

To contrast that, the real Marty Lahart was 30 years old when he joined Eliot's team in

1929.

In addition to Marty and Eliot, the other members of the real Untouchables were Lyle

Chapman, Barney Cloonan, Thomas Friel, Bill Gardner, Mike King, Joseph Leeson, Paul Robsky

and Samuel Seager.

Oh, and as a quick side note, that's the initial ten members of Eliot's team.

Others, such as Jim Seeley and Al Wolff would help the team out later.

Despite having an abundance of people to base their characters on, one of the Untouchables

we see in the film wasn't based on any of these real people.

The relatively meek character of the accountant Oscar Wallace was very loosely based on a

man we learned about earlier, Frank Wilson.

Although Frank had performed raids with Eliot and worked closely with him, he wasn't a part

of the Untouchables team.

His primary focus was to work with yet another government agency, the IRS, to try to pin

tax evasion on Al Capone.

As a little fun fact, later in his career, Frank Wilson would go on to become the chief

of the Secret Service and even become a part of the team investigating the kidnapping of

Charles Lindbergh, Jr.

Back in the movie, after forming a team of people he can trust, Eliot leads his Untouchables

team to an immediate success when they raid a warehouse of Al Capone's liquor in a local

post office.

While this specific event was made up for the movie, the truth is that Eliot Ness and

the Untouchables team did have a number of successful raids that brought his team's work

to the attention of the real Al Capone.

After hearing of the raid, Robert De Niro's version of Al Capone in the film reacts by

bludgeoning the guy who was in charge of the warehouse with a baseball bat.

This happened at a rather swanky dinner and much to the surprise of everyone there.

Again, this was made up for the movie, but again it's based on some bits of fact.

Although we don't really know the reaction Al Capone had after learning of the successful

raids by the Untouchables team, we do know of at least a few occasions where Al Capone

beat someone to death with a baseball bat.

Those weren't necessarily tied to the liquor raids, but then again there's a lot we don't

know about what really happened behind closed doors.

If you're starting to catch a theme with many of the scenes here, you're not alone.

Another plot point that's largely fictional but based loosely on something that actually

happened is the scene where Kevin Costner's version of Eliot Ness is visited by actor

Del Close's character.

In the movie he's billed as Alderman, but that's a fictional name.

An alderman is an elected councilman, so when this character named Alderman comes to visit

Eliot and offer him a bribe, it's the filmmaker's way of showcasing how Eliot's team was untouchable.

In fact, Del Close's version of Alderman even poses that question when he indignantly asks

if Eliot thinks his team is untouchable.

Hence the nickname.

But that's not how the nickname came to be.

That whole scene is made up, but it seems to be an amalgamation of a few different realities

coupled with a healthy dose of creative freedom.

Like many other law enforcement officials in Chicago, Eliot Ness and his team were approached

with bribes on numerous occasions.

The movie even depicts some of the things Eliot's crew actually did.

For example, the part where Kevin Costner's Eliot Ness calls in the rest of his team to

witness him throwing the bundle of bribe money back at Alderman was based on multiple reports

of different members of the Untouchables team physically throwing the bribe money back at

people trying to pay them off.

Probably the closest one that resembles what we saw on screen happened in April of 1930.

We don't know the name of the person who approached Eliot Ness, but he was obviously on Al Capone's

payroll and offered Eliot $2,000 up front and an additional $2,000 per week if he stopped

digging into Capone's affairs.

That $2,000 in 1930 is about the same as $29,255 today.

That's the kind of money Al Capone offered Eliot Ness every week to do what would mostly

amount to doing nothing.

It's easy to see how Capone was able to turn so many cops and other law enforcement officials

with that kind of money.

Anyway, this unnamed man's bribe was so offensive to Eliot Ness that he ordered the man out

immediately.

No sooner had the man left than Eliot called the press into his office to make a statement

that neither he nor any of his men were for sale.

Al Capone may have had many agents in his employ, but Eliot Ness would not be one of

them.

As for the name "Untouchables", that's a nickname given to Eliot's team by one of the reporters

who took the story that day.

The story they wrote explained in no uncertain terms that while "Scarface" Al Capone might've

been able to buy off others, Eliot Ness and his team were untouchables.

There were a couple indirect things that came out of this specific incident.

One was that Eliot started to realize the power of the press.

Part of this may have been ego, but I can't help but wonder if it was a sort of security

blanket.

How do you stay safe when tracking a man who has paid off the cops and law enforcement

that's supposed to keep you safe?

Make it painfully obvious to everyone when you disappear.

A great way to do that is to keep your name in the papers.

Since the names of those on Eliot's team were kept secret—only Eliot's name was publicized

as the face of the effort—a catchy nickname like "Untouchables" didn't take long to spread.

Although, in all honesty, the term wasn't used as much as you might think.

More on that later.

After Alderman's attempted bribery of Kevin Costner's Eliot Ness in the film, the very

next scene starts to put the whole untouchable thing to the test.

It happens when we see Eliot walking in front of his home.

Calling out from his car is one of Capone's mobsters by the name of Frank Nitti.

In the movie, Frank is played by Billy Drago.

Frank Nitti gets Eliot's attention and makes veiled, yet very obvious threats against Eliot's

life and the life of his family.

In truth, Capone's men threatened to kill Eliot multiple times.

Although it's probably worth pointing out that the family-focused man Eliot Ness we

see in the movie is riddled with inaccuracies.

Those start with his wife, a character named Catherine Ness played by Patricia Clarkson.

In 1930, the real Eliot Ness had been married to his first wife, Edna, for about a year.

Yes, I said first wife.

Eliot and Edna would remain married for nine years until getting divorced in 1938.

Then he married a woman named Evaline from 1939 to 1945.

His third and last wife was named Elisabeth, whom he married the year after divorcing Evaline

and remained married until he passed away in 1957.

Some historians have also found evidence that perhaps Eliot was quite the womanizer, although

most of that is circumstantial and not something we can prove.

Still, it gives one potential theory as to why the end of Eliot's first two marriages

were followed up by marrying a new woman only a year later.

So as a quick recap, there was no Catherine Ness.

Eliot Ness had three wives: Edna, Evaline and Elisabeth.

That's a lot of E-names.

Oh, and in the movie Eliot and Catherine have a daughter named—well, she doesn't have

a name.

Actress Kaitlin Montgomery plays their daughter and the character is billed as "Ness' Daughter".

She probably didn't get a name in the movie because she didn't exist in real life.

In fact, Eliot only had one son and he was adopted during his third marriage with Elisabeth,

or Betty as she was called.

That means during the timeline of the film, Eliot would've been married to Edna and without

children.

The next big scene in the film comes when the Untouchables head to Montana and work

with the Canadian law enforcement to try to catch some of Al Capone's henchmen as they

cross the border with alcohol.

That whole scene?

Fiction.

That includes the catching of one of Al Capone's bookkeepers and trying to scare him into cooperation.

As is often the case when there's more and more inaccuracies in a film, sometimes how

that film resolves the storyline ends up being more inaccurate than the beginning of the

movie.

That's true in this case, too.

In the movie, two of the four men on Eliot's team are killed.

The first is the accountant, Oscar Wallace.

Then Sean Connery's character, Jimmy Malone, gets murdered in his home.

As you can probably guess, since there was no real Oscar Wallace or Jimmy Malone, none

of that happened.

Even the real people that Oscar and Jimmy were modeled on weren't killed.

We know this because Oscar Wallace was based primarily on Frank Wilson, who wasn't even

a part of Eliot's team and as we learned earlier went on to have a successful career after

prohibition.

A similar story is true for the character Jimmy Malone was based on, Marty Lahart.

Although Marty didn't have quite the illustrious career as Frank Wilson, he lived until 1975

when he passed away peacefully on July 2nd, 1975 at the age of 76.

At the time of his passing, Marty was the very last of the original Untouchables team.

Quite opposite from being one of the first to die, as the movie shows.

In the movie, as Sean Connery's version of Jimmy Malone is dying, he tells Kevin Costner's

Eliot Ness that Al Capone's bookkeeper will be at the train station.

At the train station, there's a scene where Eliot sees a woman trying to carry her baby's

stroller up the stairs.

When he goes to help, he's seen by one of Capone's henchmen and a bloody shootout begins.

All of this is made up for the film, but it's something worth pointing out because it's

based on something that's based on a true story.

The staircase shootout scene was director Brian De Palma's homage to a 1925 Soviet film

called Battleship Potemkin.

In that movie there's a staircase scene with mass hysteria going on as the cinematography

focuses on a baby in a carriage rolling down the stairs.

A lot like what we saw in The Untouchables.

If the name Battleship Potemkin rings a bell it's because we learned about that in The

Hunt for Red October episode.

As a quick refresher, Battleship Potemkin was based on a true story of a…well, a battleship

named Potemkin in 1905 whose crew mutinied.

That's the movie Valery Sablin showed to the crew of his ship as he led the mutiny.

A little ironic since the real person of Valery was the basis for Sean Connery's character

in that movie, Marko Ramius.

Anyway, that's just a fun little side note.

Back in The Untouchables movie, after Eliot gets Al Capone's bookkeeper to cooperate,

Robert De Niro's Al Capone is pulled into the court room to stand trial.

The trial isn't for any of the murders, extortion, bootlegging, gambling, prostitution rings

or anything like that.

It's for tax evasion.

Although pretty much everything we see in the movie is made up, the overall plot point

of Al Capone being put on trial for tax evasion is true.

This brings up an important point, though.

Even though Eliot Ness and his Untouchables were a massive pain in the backside for Al

Capone's operations, just like the movie implies, no one could tie the gangster to any crimes.

Everyone knew his empire was massive—some estimated he was raking in about $60 million

a year.

That's about $877.6 million in today's dollars.

But when law enforcement agencies dug into the paper trails, as it turns out nothing

had Al Capone's name on it.

Legally, he didn't own anything and he didn't earn a salary.

While Eliot Ness' team annoyed and put a dent in the gang's operations, it was Frank Wilson's

team who reviewed literally millions and millions of documents until they came across just a

few documents that had Al Capone's name on it.

Legally, those documents proved that Al Capone made an income and he never reported that

income to the IRS.

In June of 1931, Al Capone was officially indicted for federal tax income evasion.

Although the movie makes it seem like the trial was a rather quick one, in truth it

lasted for about four months.

In fact, it wasn't until October 17th, 1931 that Al Capone was found guilty.

As the movie comes to an end, we see a newspaper that says Capone was sentenced to 11 years

in prison.

That's true, although the paper doesn't mention he was also ordered to pay about $80,000,

or about $1.3 million today, in fines and legal fees.

This is the end of the movie, but not the end of the story for Al Capone and Eliot Ness.

It was, however, the end of Al Capone's reign of terror in Chicago as the infamous mob boss

was sent off to serve time in Georgia and then Alcatraz.

While Capone was in prison, Prohibition was overturned.

That happened on March 23rd, 1933 when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Cullen

Harrison Act, officially allowing the manufacture and sale of alcohol.

Well, not all alcohol.

(Absinthe wouldn't be made legal in the US until 2007, just so you know.)

It was a start.

A few months later, on December 5th, the 21st Amendment was ratified, becoming the first

Amendment in the Constitution to repeal an earlier Amendment—that being the 18th Amendment

that set up Prohibition.

Al Capone would serve eight of his 11 years in prison, and was released to a mental hospital

in 1939 where he served the final three years.

After being released, Capone lived quietly in Miami until he died of a heart attack on

January 25th, 1947.

As for Eliot Ness, after Prohibition was repealed in 1933 there wasn't a lot of use for an agent

to enforce it.

He was reassigned to a new unit with a very similar purpose: the Alcohol Tax Unit.

With this new unit, he spent two years in the mountains of Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky

looking for illegal bootleggers.

It wasn't quite as exciting as Eliot's previous role.

So in December of 1935, he resigned and moved to Cleveland, Ohio where he took a position

as the Public Safety Director for Cleveland.

In this new role, he worked directly for the mayor of Cleveland and rooted out corruption

in the police as well as any organized crime in Cleveland.

Eliot thrived in this new role at first.

During his time as Public Safety Director in Cleveland, Eliot was hot on the trail of

yet another mastermind criminal.

This one wasn't a gangster hiding in the open like Al Capone.

Instead, this one was a serial killer who earned the nickname the "Cleveland Torso Killer"

on account of the dismemberment of anywhere from 12 to 20 victims.

Eliot's brilliant investigative work on the case led to plenty of great theories.

If you listened to The Black Dahlia episode, you'll know there's a theory that Eliot believed

it was the Cleveland Torso Killer who relocated to California and killed Elizabeth Short—The

Black Dahlia.

And there's even a theory that suggests the Zodiac Killer might have ties to the Cleveland

Torso Killer.

Unlike Al Capone, Eliot Ness was never able to see the Cleveland Torso Killer brought

to justice.

That's one serial killer who was never found.

As the years passed and Eliot wasn't able to resolve the case of the Cleveland Torso

Killer, more and more people began to criticize him.

Quite ironically this led to a nasty drinking habit and an increasing obsession with work.

That, coupled with long hours and perhaps some unconfirmed womanizing in there might

have been the reason for his failed marriages; Edna leaving him in 1938 and then Evaline

in 1945.

Under public pressure, Eliot resigned his role as Public Safety Director.

After this, Eliot ran a rather interesting gamut of roles as he tried to find his next

big success.

First he rooted out prostitution as National Director of the Social Protection Program.

Then he left and was appointed Chairman of the Board at Diebold, a company just south

of Cleveland in Canton, Ohio, that makes vaults.

He even set up an import/export company along with the famous leader of the Flying Tigers,

General Claire Lee Chennault.

In 1947, he ran for Mayor of Cleveland but failed to attain that position.

His final grasp at something solid was as a business executive of a Cleveland-based

company called North Ridge Industrial Corporation.

By the time 1956 rolled around, North Ridge was nearly bankrupt and forced to move to

the tiny town of Coudersport, Pennsylvania.

It was a move Eliot would make with the company.

On May 16th, 1957, Eliot Ness passed away in the same manner as Al Capone, a heart attack.

Like the infamous gangster, Eliot's life was completely ruined at the time of his death.

He was depressed and in an incredible amount of debt.

Later that same year, Eliot's name would come back into the public's eye when an author

named Oscar Fraley published an autobiography he co-wrote with Eliot Ness before he passed.

The book was named simply The Untouchables and its publication would cement the name

of Eliot's team in the minds of people around the world.

This episode of Based on a True Story was written and produced by me, Dan LeFebvre,

along with Cody Wheat from the Shots of History podcast.

If you want to dig further into the history of the real Untouchables, I'd recommend picking

up Eliot Ness' own book, also called The Untouchables.

If you're looking for a podcast to learn more about the history of Prohibition and all things

alcohol, go check out Cody's podcast over at shotsofhistory.com.

Each episode offers a quick but informative glance at something to do with the history

of alcoholic beverages.

Finally, it's time for the answer to our two truths and a lie game from the beginning of

the episode!

As a refresher, here are the two truths and one lie:

The real Al Capone never sold illegal alcohol during Prohibition.

Aside from Kevin Costner's character, all of The Untouchables in the movie are fictional

characters.

Ultimately, the real Untouchables weren't the ones primarily responsible for putting

away Al Capone.

Did you find out which one is a lie?

The lie is… #1.

Although Al Capone had nothing to do with bringing about Prohibition, after it was instituted,

he didn't hesitate to add smuggling and selling illegal alcoholic beverages to his existing

world of organized crime.
