Father Anonymous tells the story of America’s forgotten founder Dr. Joseph Warren and his more famous friends, Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Paul Revere. Opening on the day of the Boston Massacre (1770), it closes with Joseph’s martyrdom at Bunker Hill (1775). With some laughs and tears and lots of good history, Father Anonymous dramatically rescues from obscurity America’s Forgotten Founder and the principles for which he stood – and fell. Although John Hancock’s signature has stood the test of time, for almost a century Paul Revere languished, mostly forgotten, until Longfellow’s poem brought his midnight ride to the forefront of American consciousness. Sam Adams brew is on the lips of the People across America. George Washington, of course, has always been the Great American Icon, while his deputy, Alexander Hamilton, now gets celebrated center stage eight times a week. On this 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, it’s about time to restore our Nation’s martyred Founder, Dr. Joseph Warren, who sent Paul on his famous ride and for two months commanded America’s armed struggle – until he died at Bunker Hill and Washington replaced him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sliwa describes himself as a Republican candidate ''running for mayor of New York City to finally end the disastrous reign of de Blasio-Cuomo''. In the late 1970s, he founded the Guardian Angels, a nonprofit volunteer organization that began its anti-crime activities by patrolling the subways. Today, the group has chapters in 13 countries and over 100 cities, according to its website. Safety and refunding the police are central to the campaign of Sliwa, a radio host who still wears the Angels’ trademark red beret. He proposes adding 4,500 uniformed and 500 undercover officers to patrol the subways. He also calls for restoring "all budget cuts" to the NYPD and giving the department more money to combat gun violence. Sliwa is part of the Republican wing that does not support former President Donald Trump. In the first debate of the GOP candidates, he said he had never voted for Trump. The 67-year-old current Manhattan resident got involved in community work at an early age. At 14, he became known as a "neighborhood garbage collector" when he opened a recycling center in Brooklyn.Website: sliwaforny.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
