The Scott Helmer Show

Learn More: Charles Brandt is the author of numerous bestselling true crime novels based on the major crimes Brandt solved through interrogation during his illustrious legal career as a homicide investigator, prosecutor and eventually, Chief Deputy Attorney General of the State of Delaware.

I Heard You Paint Houses, a #1 New York Times Bestseller published in over 14 countries, is the definitive work solving the disappearance and murder of Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa. It is the biography of a colorful hit man, Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran, the prime suspect in the FBI’s Jimmy Hoffa case. Brandt’s book is based on nearly five years of interviews he recorded on tapes that have since been subpoenaed by the FBI.

A Martin Scorsese film based on I Heard You Paint Houses will be a major motion picture released by Paramount. This blockbuster Mafia movie will star a dream cast of Robert De Niro, and Al Pacino with a screenplay adapted from Brandt’s book by Oscar-winning screenwriter Steve Zaillian.

Brandt is also the author of The Right to Remain Silent a well-reviewed detective novel praised by then President Ronald Reagan for execution of its theme “on behalf of law-abiding citizens”. Brandt also two more true crime Mafia books: Donnie Brasco – Unfinished Business, co-authored with undercover FBI agent Joe Pistone, the real life Donnie Brasco, the wrecking ball of the American Mafia; and We’re Going to Win This Thing , co-authored with Lin DeVecchio, the FBI supervisory special agent in charge of the Mafia Commission case, which case destroyed the Mafia’s ruling Commission and crushed the nationwide Mafia.

Charles Brandt is currently at work on a new book, Interrogation Interrupted: A Professional Solves “Dallas”. It is an explosive true crime thriller that will unravel the intricacies of the decades long mystery of President Kennedy’s assassination and its cover-up by Chief Justice Earl Warren. Brandt’s work will permanently define one of the most important events in American history. The analysis of “Dallas” is finally in the hands of a professional homicide investigator who knows what he’s talking about.

Brandt is a 50-year practitioner of Tai Chi. He began his studies under the 20th Century Master Cheng Man Ching on Canal St. in NYC.

Brandt’s talent as a writer comes from his hands-on experience of solving homicides and interrogating witnesses. Before graduating from Brooklyn Law School in 1969, Brandt, a native of New York City, had been a Junior High English teacher in Queens and a welfare investigator in East Harlem. Following law school, Brandt moved to Delaware and worked as a homicide investigator, prosecutor and eventually, Chief Deputy Attorney General of the State of Delaware. Brandt had four men on death row when he left the office.

In private legal practice since 1976, Brandt, at first, defended the major homicides of his state, including the President of the Pagan motorcycle club who was charged with the double murder of witnesses in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Brandt later restricted his practice to plaintiff’s medical malpractice and the cross-examination of medical defense experts, such as neurosurgeons. These cases often involved the investigation of wrongful death, another form of homicide. Brandt was named by his trial lawyer peers as one of the “Best Lawyers in America”, and one of the “Best Lawyers in Delaware.” Brandt was elected president of the Delaware Trial Lawyers Association and the Delaware Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates. During his career he taught cross-examination to other trial lawyers and interrogation techniques to police officers.

Brandt is the grandson of Italian immigrants, Rosa and Luigi DiMarco, who had a small family farm in Staten Island. They couldn’t read or write in any language, but their examples inspired Brandt his whole life.

Charles Brandt lives in Lewes, Delaware and Sun Valley, Idaho with his wife, Nancy, and has three grown children and...

He thought he had it made... Marty Angelo worked in the entertainment business from 1965 to 1980 as a musician, television producer, record promoter, disk jockey, restaurant and nightclub owner and personal manager for rock 'n' roll bands, Raven and the popular Top 40s rock group, The Grass Roots starring Rob Grill. He received his first professional breaks from "the late Jimi Hendrix" and "the late George Harrison."

Marty Angelo • Once Life Matters: A New Beginning

Angelo also created, wrote and produced the '70s very popular dance television show, Disco Step-by-Step® and in 1978 was voted one of the Top 25 disco record promoters. He promoted hundreds of hit albums, singles, and 12" disco 45s, receiving numerous recognition awards for his efforts. Angelo is featured in several documentaries, magazine articles, and radio/television productions.

Though at times Marty Angelo thought he achieved success, internally he always felt an emptiness in his heart. He sensed his life neither had real meaning nor true purpose. Nothing ever seemed to matter to him. Consequently, he lived a rebellious, sin-riddled out-of-control lifestyle.

Angelo was arrested in 1980 for two counts of possession of cocaine. Through this life-shattering event he experienced a "new beginning," a dramatic and electrifying conversion to Christianity. This miracle happened in 1981 prior to serving two-and-a-half years in a federal prison. God forgave Marty's sins, blessed him with everlasting life and filled the void in his heart with His Holy Spirit. His life finally mattered as he discovered God's true plan and purpose.

If God can change Marty Angelo He can change anybody...

Angelo helped many prisoners during his incarceration explaining to them that if God can change his life He can change anybody... including hardened convicts, drunkards, and drug addicts. Many followed his advice.

Marty was released from prison in 1984 and is living his life as an example to other ex-convicts and former drug addicts and alcoholics who want to serve God and be used by Him for His glory.

For more than 30 years, Marty Angelo has worked with various ministries such as; Prison Fellowship Ministries, Teen Challenge of Southern California, The Fort Lauderdale Rescue Tabernacle (Faith Farm), and the Drug Abuse Foundation of Palm Beach County. Angelo also provided nine years of personal in-home health, medical, and spiritual care for his parents, "the late Dr. Martin and Marie Angelo."

Angelo is the author of the powerful life-changing biography-memoir entitled, Once Life Matters: A New Beginning. His book reveals how God totally transformed his life of sin into a strong witness of His saving grace, mercy, and love. The book is offered free to prisons, jails, rehab programs, and troubled celebrities.

Marty Angelo is currently a full-time minister to prisoners, substance abusers, and troubled celebrities. His nationwide ministry reaches out to prisons & jails, rehabs & support groups, schools & churches, and various celebrities. He is also the author of 10 books.

Angelo has appeared on numerous popular Christian radio shows and television programs such as The 700 Club, I'm Just Sayin', Praise the Lord, Celebration and 100 Huntley Street. His story was published in Voice Magazine and in various other print and internet media.

Special Outreach Ministry to Troubled Celebrities... Celebrity Outreach: Marty Angelo's 15 years in the entertainment industry has given him a special burden for today's celebrities who are doing the same drugging, drinking and law breaking he did while living in the fast lane in the music business.

No one warned Marty of the consequences of leading such a life nor offered him any alternative direction. He prays others will learn from his mistakes and seek a better life.

Angelo believes as a Christian he has an obligation to encourage troubled celebrities and others to try a better road to travel; one that leads to everlasting peace,...

Dustin Pari is a bit hard to define. Born a simple boy to a truck driver and one of the last all-american housewives, Dustin grew up in Providence, Rhode Island without much pomp and circumstance. Most notably he ditched his bowl-cut for his trademark spiky hair sometime around 5th grade when he first became interested in the fairer sex.

After graduating from high school, he then bounced around the local state and community colleges before graduating with a degree in multimedia production. He worked for CBS and FOX news locally for many years before getting into healthcare.

Being on television as a paranormal investigator happened quite by accident, but there is something to be said for accidents being best described as when hard work meets opportunity.

Several seasons and years of his life later, Dustin had traveled the world like a “Paranormal Rockstar”, a moniker given to him during an interview, which was then used from that point forward since it symbolized much of who he was.

But we all grow. We all change. We must all move forward, or we become stagnant and boring, and acquiesce to merely what is comfortable. So, for a while Dustin toyed with the idea of calling himself a three-headed dragon, as he is multifaceted and a bit magical. But dragons can be scary, and Dustin is kind, not scary. Plus, some breathe fire, and with the amount of hairspray used on a daily basis, open flames are a strict no-no. So after much consideration, or perhaps none at all, the “Steel Unicorn” was born.

Strong yet approachable. Mythical but as real as it gets. A creature seemingly in conflict with itself. A clear mental image that is almost impossible to comprehend. One thing that is easily understood, Dustin cares for and loves all that he comes in contact with, as one would assume a steel unicorn would.

Regardless of whatever you may call him, or he may call himself, Dustin may be best known as a paranormal researcher and lecturer due to his numerous appearances on such television programs as Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters International, and Destination Truth. He has journeyed up and down the road time and time again appearing here, there, and everywhere. Though a well-respected and highly regarded staple of the paranormal event and lecture circuit, Dustin also delivers his entertaining and educational paranormal presentations to colleges and libraries across America.

Dustin has recently become a highly sought after motivational lecturer whose insightful and humorous anecdotes have inspired thousands of event attendees, and even more world wide. Determined to leave a legacy of kindness, Dustin goes forth with a helpful heart in an effort to change the world. Focusing on the commonalities he has found to be of particular interest in this, our human experience, Dustin is thankful that he has been fortunate to help many others as we all walk through this life together. Be it at middle schools, high schools, corporate meetings, or social gathering halls, Dustin delivers a positive message that is entertaining and life changing.

Though admittedly far from perfect, Dustin also delivers Christian based lectures at churches and online through his efforts with Patch Ministry. Always of love and never judgement, Dustin’s message may not always quote scripture, but it embraces the message of Christ, a message of kindness.

The author of numerous books, Dustin applies his knowledge and colorful personality to weave strange tales of the unknown, motivational tales of his own life, and random tales of his own mind. His mind is a bit of a mess, but it sure is a lot of fun!

Are you sick of Hollywood reporting that insults you and your views? Hollywood in Toto has your back.

Let’s face it. Nearly every entertainment reporter in the country reports from a Blue State sensibility. And that directly flavors their reportage.

HiT is influenced both by conservatism and a sense of fairness. We welcome friendly, impassioned debates on the cultural matters of the day.

This site reflects both what’s missing with online journalism as well as what works just fine, thank you. HiT features reviews with a purpose. When you finish reading one your gut will know whether you should waste your time on that movie, show or album. Our interviews avoid fluff and ask tougher questions of the people who entertain us for a living. You deserve nothing less.

The edgy-guy in chief there is Christian Toto, who for a long time was one of the best culture writers at Big Hollywood. He knows movies and TV well, both from an aesthetic and political perspective. – Bestselling author Andrew Klavan

And when Hollywood takes a lazy swipe at paying customers who happened to hold views outside the left-of-center consensus, we aren’t afraid to step up. We respect the creative process, but sometimes it doesn’t feel like Hollywood is playing fair.

Tabloid headlines, sadly, don’t make the cut. You can find the latest Justin Bieber news at dozens of sites across the web. Have at it. No judging here. Just make sure to hit the “back” button on your browser to see what else HiT has in store.

Who is Christian Toto: I’m an award-winning journalist, member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and founder of HiT. I studied art in college and, after collecting three degrees, realized I had a brighter future away from my pad and pencil.

I eventually landed a feature writing position with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, where I asked to review movies when our regular critic went on vacation.

I essentially did the same while working for The Washington Times, volunteering to pen any entertainment story I could in between my regular assignments.

I finally emerged as one of the newspaper’s regular film critics, reviewing movies and interviewing A-list talent like Tom Hanks, Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Spacey.

I left D.C. for Denver in 2007, transitioning to a freelance careerI later found work with both Breitbart News and LifeZette.com before embracing my HiT duties full-time.

I can be heard each week on “Mike Rosen at the Movies,” “The Michael Brown Show,” “Garrison” and “Walker Daniels in the Morning.”

The Hollywood in Toto Podcast offers compelling interviews with leading voices in the conservative arts movement. Think John Nolte, Sabo, Andrew Klavan, Nick Di Paolo and more.

Today as no other time in history, The Republic, our heritage, liberty of the American people and Christianity are poised over a bottomless precipice. See what President Trump is facing in this epic battle for the hearts and minds of all Americans.

Socialism, which ultimately evolves to Communism is openly condoned by Government. The American experience is no longer rooted in “we the people” self-government, but rather is rife with corruption and a looming police state with national self-destruct mechanisms.

Christian faith, once the essence of our founding principles is scorned. God has become a second class citizen in America. How could this have become a reality seemingly overnight? For many decades and with infinite resources, through incrementalism and covert means, a so-called “global elite” has evolved a “New World Order”. In collusion with The United Nations, global central banks and globalist concepts of free trade as a facade to undermine the national sovereignty of many nations, we now stand in the shadow of evil.

The world we have known is becoming a centrally controlled prison planet. For the first time in human history this age old concept of one world government unfolds at light speed, yet, the average American seems oblivious of history, or prophecy, lulled by a controlled media

and government agenda.

Through noted experts on central banks such as The Federal Reserve, geopolitical overview, corporate power structure, our military, the evolving police state and a government controlled church, REVELATION, Dawn of Global Government utilizes high production value, historical reenactment and the Americana spirit of country music legend Charlie Daniels to illustrate the ominous changes taking place in our country.

Actor, Producer and Director, Kevin Sorbo stops by to visit with Scott Helmer on TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 2017 to talk about his latest projects; Breathe Bible, Let There Be Light, and much more.

Learn More: As a strong leading man and a hunky half-god, Kevin Sorbo brings a refreshing cadence to Hollywood. Growing up in Mound, Minnesota, a western suburb of Minneapolis, the "Sorbs" excelled at football, basketball, baseball and golf, but his true passion was always to be an actor. After studying marketing and advertising at Moorhead State University and the University of Minnesota, Kevin moved to Dallas where he joined an actors theater group and began modeling and doing television commercials. From there he headed to Europe where a 3-month travel plan turned into 3½ years of work in Milan, Paris, Munich, London, and Zurich. When he finally made his way to Los Angeles he booked his first commercial audition there which shot in Sydney, Australia. That 10-day trip turned into a six-month stay where he shot 7 commercials and joined a theater group. Moving back to Los Angeles he studied acting with Bill Traylor at the famed Loft studios. He also studied with Janet Alhanti, Richard Brander, Cameron Thor and Roy London. During that time he also appeared in over 150 commercials and made prime time appearances as a guest star on shows such as “Dallas”, “Cheers”, “The Commish”, and “Murder She Wrote”. He also had leading roles in two pilots. “Aspen Extreme” for ABC and “Condition Critical” for CBS.

Sorbo received international stardom when he booked the lead role in “Hercules, the Legendary Journeys” (1993-1999). Originally designed as a 5-movie mini-series, the innovative action show received a tremendous response and proved that Kevin was just what Hollywood was looking for. The movies were transformed into a weekly show and exploded onto the mainstream, passing up ratings topper“Baywatch” as the most watched TV show in the world, airing in 176 countries. Sorbo also directed and wrote on the series. The worldwide success of Hercules spun off two other series: “Xena, Warrior Princess” (1995-2000) and “Young Hercules” (1997-1998), starring Ryan Gosling as the teenage Hercules.

Following the success of a 7 year run on Hercules, Sorbo went straight into tackling another iconic role to star in the lead as “Captain Dylan Hunt” in “Gene Roddenberry’s, Andromeda”. This was the first pilot written by Roddenberry in 1969 after the original Star Trek series was cancelled. Andromeda debuted as the number one, hour-long show in first run syndication and remained at number one for its entire run from 2000-2005.

In 1997, on hiatus from Hercules, Sorbo starred in the Universal Studios feature film “Kull, the Conqueror”, the prequel to “Conan, the Barbarian”. That was followed by “Walking Tall, the Payback” and “Walking Tall, Lone Justice”, both for Sony/MGM. Other popular credits are Lifetime Channel’s “Last Chance Café”, and Hallmark’s third highest rated film in the western, “Avenging Angel”. Sorbo also had starring roles in “The Santa Suit”, “Meet the Spartans”, “Prairie Fever”, and the SyFy Channels “Never Cry Werewolf”. Sorbo has since played opposite Kristy Swanson and John Ratzenberger in the independent film “What If….”. The independent film remained in theaters for 5 months and was nominated for Best Family Movie of the Year 2011 by the Movie Guide Awards. Sorbo himself was nominated and received the Movie Guide Award for Most Inspirational Performance of the Year for his portrayal of “Ben Walker”. In 2013 Sorbo was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Riverside Film Festival.

In between all that shooting, Sorbo also guest starred on a number of sitcoms including “Just Shoot Me, “Cybill”, “Two and a Half Men”, “Dharma and Greg”, “According to Jim”, “Gary Unmarried”, “Don’t Talk to the B in Apartment 23”, and “Hope and Faith”. You can also add “Psych”, “Hawaii 5-0”, and a recurring role in the...

SHROUD OF TURIN MYSTERY SOLVED BY GOV'T CODE-BREAKER! In 2012; former government investigator, intelligence analyst & code-breaker, J.R. Watts, launched a 5 year research project to finally answer the question: Did Christ's disciples hide clues about the SHROUD OF TURIN in the New Testament? What he discovered were cryptic forms of word camouflage known to cryptologists as: open codes, null ciphers & jargon codes, arranged in diffused layers of data in the Bible. They describe the Shroud in intermittent signals, symbolic references, disguised metaphors & phonetically spelled ciphers. But their common denominator was JESUS' IMAGE ON THE SHROUD! Watts used the same code-breaking methods the CIA & NSA utilize when cracking codes, such as pattern recognition, quantitative data analysis, detection of graphical deception, cluster analysis, data mining, frequency analysis, camouflage signaling & correspondence analysis. Learn how the disciples became adept at layering their words with telltale hints about the Shroud. See why these codes remained INVISIBLE to the clergy & Shroud experts, who lack cryptology skills.

Watts also points to Old Testament verses that cloaked the Shroud in the abstract of Scripture. He says the Shroud Codes were no accident; they were there all the time, waiting for us, like a hidden dossier. It was the safest way to write about Christ's miraculous image because it subtly obscured the medium on which it existed: a shroud. The SCIENCE OF CRYPTOLOGY proves the Shroud of Turin covered the body of Jesus! BONUS INFO: J.R. WATTS REVEALS THE HARBINGERS ALL THE PROPHECY WATCHERS MISSED: Learn about the resurrection of the Exodus 32 Golden Calf Idol, REBORN in New York City's New Millennium Cow Parade in 2000. In Moses' time 3,000 people were killed in 1 day for false idolatry. On 9-11; 3,000 people were again slain in 1 day, surrounded by the SAME false idols. The book has 6 dozen color photos & free 3D glasses to view the Shroud in 3D!

J.R. Watts worked as an investigator for various government agencies in New York City for more than two decades, as well as for government intelligence contractors. But behind the scenes; he was also a code-breaker, having been educated in cryptanalysis and cryptography. He was also a Shroud of Turin researcher.
