Adam GrahamHOST
This was a story reported on- By Walter Winchell, in which he corroborated with J. Edgar Hoover.
Adam GrahamHOST
Walter Winchell was probably, uh, uh, the- one of the top five most famous journalists in the whole country, and it was about him facilitating the surrender of Louis Lepke, a key figure in Murder Incorporated.
Adam GrahamHOST
This was the story of Winchell's career, and doubtless many listeners were aware of it, but they still changed many details, including changing the name of Louis Lepke to The Cat.
Adam GrahamHOST
You know, a, a very generic criminal name, you know.
LionelHOST
I told you the Arnold Schuster thing.
LionelHOST
I told you the guy who killed, who, excuse me, who turned in Willie Sutton and Albert Anastasia from Murder Incorporated said, I want him hit.
LionelHOST
And they hit him and left him with the floor of the ground in Queens.
LionelHOST
And it shot like a dog in the street.
Paige WesleyHOST
[laughs]
Todd SchlosserHOST
Murder Incorporated is gonna kill any police they can find, unless those police are shooting at Nazis, and then they're gonna help.
Paige WesleyHOST
Then they're gonna help.
Todd SchlosserHOST
That's what I learned from this movie.
Joel DinersteinGUEST
So one of the things that marks a different break that happens in the 90s is the rediscovery of Jewish gangsters.
Joel DinersteinGUEST
And so Rich Cohen writes a book called Tough Jews, and he rediscovers and puts back into discourse Meyer Lansky and Las Vegas and Murder Incorporated and all the Jewish gangs of the impoverished Lower East Side in the early 20th century.
Joel DinersteinGUEST
And so then we have a real new debate and a real new sense of what is the history of American Jewish life on the Lower East Side.
Joel DinersteinGUEST
And it's not just kind of tenements and persecution and poverty in which you sort of move out of it and become a little more secular, which is sort of famously the story of the rise of David Levinsky, one of the great early novels.
Alan DershowitzGUEST
You know, in my... guest bathroom up on Martha's Vineyard, I have a whole series of Wanted posters, many of them badass Jews.
Alan DershowitzGUEST
You know, people- Bugsy Siegel, like those kind of people? Oh yeah, Murder Incorporated, Bugsy Siegel, all those guys.
Alan DershowitzGUEST
I have all of their Wanted posters.
Alan DershowitzGUEST
I also have Wanted posters of my own clients.

And Frank's brother, Charles, who was a New York City police officer.
Carter RoyNARRATOR
According to the letter, Officer Burns also had connections to the infamous mafia organization known as Murder Incorporated.
Carter RoyNARRATOR
The letter explained that after Joseph got into that cab on the night of August 6th, 1930, the driver took him to Coney Island.
Carter RoyNARRATOR
There, the three men killed Crater and buried him under the boardwalk near West 8th Street.
speaker_4NARRATOR
Lansky and Siegel had come up the hard way, in Hell's Kitchen and on New York's Lower East Side, bootlegging, gambling, racketeering.
speaker_4NARRATOR
With Frank Costello, the boss of all mafia bosses in New York, they formed the gang that would later be known as Murder, Incorporated.
speaker_4NARRATOR
But as Lansky and Siegel drove into Las Vegas in 1941, they had something else on their minds.
speaker_4NARRATOR
Lansky had a grand vision, a vision of glittering gambling palaces in the barren desert.
Greg DworkinPANELIST
Well, Tallarico is positioning himself to win.
Greg DworkinPANELIST
Now, I understand, I get that the Republicans, including Trump's MAGA Incorporated, Murder Incorporated, have put all of their money.
Greg DworkinPANELIST
Somebody's money anyway.
Greg DworkinPANELIST
Yeah, well, Russian money or wherever they get it.
LionelHOST
Ratted him out and said, "Yep, there he is, and he's on TV.
LionelHOST
He's on TV." The story is Albert Anastasia from Murder Incorporated was watching TV or whatever and said, "I hate a rat.
LionelHOST
Hit him, but make sure they know it's us." Now, there was, there was te- there was a question about whether he was shot in the groin or shot in the eye.
LionelHOST
I, I'm not sure about that, but they left him in the street, and they wanted you to know who was responsible.
