(Danbury, Connecticut)...Al Bruhn will hold a major news conference at the start of the 9th edition of the all new USA TV Talk News/Sports live call-in broadcast scheduled for Tuesday, May 13, 2008 between 7 and 8pm on Comcast TV 23. Details of the major news conference will not be available until broadcast time. Speculation has it that Al Bruhn will dress in his GI uniform with three silver medals earned during 2007 North American Grappling Association tournaments. Al Bruhn is an outstanding example of medical history in America as a heart attack victim.
(Danbury, Connecticut)...Continuous complaints about illegal immigrants were heard by viewers who called into the 8th edition of the all new USA TV Talk News/Sports live broadcast on Comcast TV 23 May 6, 2008 between 7 and 8pm and anchored by Comcast gold medal public access producer/host Al Bruhn and special co-anchor Tom Bennett. Callers complained about illegal immigrants getting free hospital care while citizens have to pay for it. One caller asked what she could do about neighbors who she believed were illegal immigrants. Another caller voiced concern over how illegal immigrants can drive without insurance or a driver's license. Tom Bennett reported that he has been monitoring Kennedy Park in downtown Danbury and has seen a decline of illegal immigrants looking for jobs. Both Bennett and Al Bruhn videotaped illegal immigrants at the city park April 21, 2008 and broadcast it on the Earth Day edition April 22, 2008 of USA TV Talk News/Sports. Since then, only a few illegal immigrants have been seen at Kennedy Park. The videotape broadcast and announcement that legal Hispanic American citizens will be going underground with hidden cameras among the illegal immigrant community to report on their lifestyle may have prompted them to lessen their appearance at Kennedy Park. Al Bruhn said future videotape of illegal immigrants will be posted at an internet website for federal officials to monitor and take legal action. Illegal immigrants are subject to citizens' arrest according to Tom Bennett, who also said that Danbury Police are lying about their job and not arresting illegal immigrants. Bennett, a former city police staff member, said there is a statute which allows city police to make arrests of illegal immigrants which he will present during the 9th and final edition of USA TV Talk News/Sports for Spring 2008. Bennett asked the hypothetical question if two illegal immigrants got into a stabbing incident, what would city cops do? Arrest them? Yes, according to city police and questionable as to why they can't and won't arrest loitering illegal immigrants. Other hot topics flashed by during USA TV Talk News/Sports including a complaint against Justin Mazzarese who sent a threatening e-mailed to Al Bruhn. Bruhn explained that Justin Mazzarese, who is general manager of WXCI-FM and Echo sports editor and former anchor of USA TV Talk News/Sports, refused to play as a team member with his production unit at Comcast and quit. Bruhn said Justin Mazzarese's threatening e-mail is an embarrassment to himself, his family, friends and WCSU. Bruhn is considering legal action against Justin Mazzarese's threatening e-mail to him and will report on it in the future. Al Bruhn said as volunteer alumni wrestling/grappling coach for WCSU students his team was honored by the American Red Cross for heroism. The team is involved in an exclusive medical book project MMA & Healthy Herat For All Ages. Bruhn said there are good people like his WCSU wrestling/grappling team which has support at WCSU among students and staff members. A caller voiced concern about the Danbury mansion that was broken into and video taped by Ridgefield High School students and posted on the internet which lead to their arrests. Why wasn't the mansion secured asked the caller and what value is there to the old homestead that city officials haven't done anything about since it was purchased in 1985 was discussed by the caller and Tom Bennett. Bennett said the RHS students should sue the city for failure to protect them from the aging building. Al Bruhn took aim at Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi and said his public endorsement of convicted drug user Jack Tobin in 2001 set the stage for youth to do drugs in town. Bruhn verbally blasted Marconi for creating an environment where residents want out of town. Al Bruhn reported Joey Bongiorno's misdemeanor marijuana case goes to Danbury Superior Court May 14, 2008 and could head to an unprecedented trial which Bruhn predicts Joey's win will have a detrimental impact on all local police and how they handle drug arrests. Bongiorno claims he had no marijuana on him at the time of his arrest by Ridgefield Police. Bongiorno was a passenger in a car and the driver who was arrested for marijuana possession signed a legal document stating Bongiorno was not using marijuana. Bongiorno won a bronze medal at North American Grappling Association tournament last year as a member of the WCSU Wrestling/Grappling Team. Bongiorno's father is a Connecticut State Police Captain. USA TV Talk News/Sports is number 1 according to Al Bruhn and Tom Bennett due to the fact that no other Comcast public access producer will broadcast news they way they do.(Dateline:APTV-WCPTV May 2, 2008)...In an unprecedented manner, Comcast Gold Medal recipient Al Bruhn broke his silence today and issued a statement regarding two fellow colleagues Big T (Tom Bennett) and Justin Mazzarese, who have been associated with Comcast Cablevision. In a tersely worded statement, Al Bruhn, who is America�s First Longest Running Public Access Producer/Host, clearly supported Big T�s First Amendment Rights, who is a guest on the all new USA TV Talk News/Sports broadcast Tuesdays at 7-8pm and Wednesdays at noon-1pm on Comcast TV 23. �It�s not a matter of whether I agree or not with Tom Bennett�s opinions about controversial topics, it�s simply a matter of following the US Constitution,� Al Bruhn explained. �Tom and I differ on the issue of illegal immigrants, but that doesn�t mean that I cast a vote to eliminate it from public domain,� Bruhn said. �There are other issues Tom and I do not necessarily agree on, but we firmly agree to talk about them on public access,� Bruhn added. Tom Bennett of Big T Talk & Variety fame was removed from his weekly Friday night live broadcast last year when Connecticut Blogger Alphonso Robinson complained to Comcast about his remarks on air. The Comcast Cable Advisory Board recommended Tom Bennett�s live broadcast be removed from its weekly time slot which was executed by Comcast officials. Tom Bennett was offered a taped program for late Friday night which he declined. In the meantime, Tom Bennett has been a regular guest co-anchor on USA TV Talk News/Sports with Al Bruhn and has enabled the weekly public access program to soar with public support and top ratings among current shows on Comcast Channel 23. �It�s a matter of public opinion,� Al Bruhn said. �We�re not in the business to censor people we don�t like and eliminate them as was the case with how Tom Bennett who was dealt a fatal blow to his show,� Bruhn remarked. Thanks For Watching & Who�s Really Watching is a book Bruhn is writing about his 30 years in public access broadcasting. �I set the stage back in 1978 when I first appeared on public access and started the cycle of thinking that all the people have the right to be heard and no one has the right to silence them,� Bruhn explained. Al Bruhn is represented by one of America�s top notch entertainment attorneys Lance Frank based in New York City. �I know my US Constitutional rights and will exercise them to the fullest,� Bruhn said. On another topic, Al Bruhn explained that Justin Mazzarese failed to be a team player and stopped co-operating with APTV-WCPTV Network and its production of USA TV Talk News/Sports earlier this year. Justin Mazzarese was primetime anchor of USA TV Talk News/Sports for several years while Al Bruhn was actively involved in exclusive national medical projects. �Justin Mazzarese was a promising sports reporter with our network several years ago when he had guests on our program, but for whatever reason failed to follow-through and turned the program into sports bar gossip show with other friends,� Bruhn said. When Bruhn took the initative to upgrade the program, Justin failed to co-operate and stopped participating with the network. �While I appreciate Justin�s contributions during his tenure with our show, I realize the show had to be upgraded and perhaps Justin wasn�t ready to make the necessary changes in his mind to help our endeavors,� Bruhn said. The all new USA TV Talk News/Sports with Al Bruhn and special guest Big T is highly recognized for its multiplicity of viewpoints and applauded by Western Connecticut State University students.
(Danbury, Connecticut)...USA TV Talk News/Sports will update illegal immigrants caught on tape again by Big T (Tom Bennett) at Kennedy Park in Danbury, in addition to what public access is all about and a behind the scenes look at what really went on during April 29, 2008 episode when Ivan Alcime of Ideas At Work & Beyond stormed onto the USA TV Talk News/Sports set and confronted Al Bruhn and Big T. Talk about street fighting, watch the latest video of Al Bruhn vs. Travis Wolf during an MMA fight as part of Western Connecticut State University Wrestling/Grappling Team project MMA & Healthy Heart For All Ages. Bruhn, winner of 6 wrestling and grappling tournament medals since his heart attack, demonstrates how and why his heart is stronger now with fellow WCSU trainer Travis Wolf and cardio/weightlifting trainer Ben Weiss. Also, Eric Bruhn will show his car on display at Hudson River Valley Rhinebeck Antique Auto Show when USA TV Talk News/Sports presents its 8th edition of the all new Spring 2008 premiere season Tuesday, May 6, 2008 between 7 and 8pm on Comcast TV 23 with viewer call-in. Viewer discretion is advised! WATCHOUT!! SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE (Danbury, Connecticut)�It�s been over a dozen years since Al Bruhn had surprise visitors on his Comcast live call-in set. Back in 1995, a few Ridgefield residents paraded onto the USA TV Talk News set and gave a surprise 50th birthday party celebration to Al Bruhn. At the time Ridgefield Board of Education member Hope Wise and a former town watchdog rolled a birthday cake onto the Comcast set, while Al Bruhn was talking with fellow Danbury teacher Addie Gillich about his past accomplishments in life. That 1995 surprise party was in complete contrast to the unexpected appearance of Ivan Alcime of Ideas At Work & Beyond during the seventh edition of the all new Spring 2008 premiere of USA TV Talk News/Sports on Comcast TV 23 April 29, 2008 between 7 and 8pm. Ivan Alcime stormed onto USA TV Talk News/Sports Comcast set with anchor Al Bruhn and special guest Big T (Tom Bennett) and confronted the twosome about their reports on his Connecticut State Police report for speeding. Al Bruhn said he looks at Danbury Superior Court website for the latest listings of fellow people he knows. Bruhn spotted Ivan Alcime�s name at the judicial website awhile back and talked about it with Big T. on USA TV Talk News/Sports. Ivan had been charged with speeding by a Connecticut State Trooper which the Bahamian had challenged in court. A check of the Danbury Superior Court website didn�t have any final outcome on the speeding ticket for Ivan Alcime. Ivan Alcime talked about Comcast public access producers agreement not to talk about one another on-air which both Bruhn and Bennett did not have any knowledge about. Ivan and Big T got into a verbal battle about Ivan�s birth country. Ivan agreed with Al Bruhn that he (Ivan) was born in the Bahamas, despite the fact that Big T claimed Ivan said he was of Haitian origin. Ivan Alcime told Big T that there would be rope for Afro-Americans to use against their perpetrators, if there were attempts to treat them like their ancestors were treated in America. Ivan Alcime challenged Big T to meet him face to face for a real confrontation off the Comcast set. Ivan Alcime said there is a need for civil demonstration today in America and would not comment on the controversial Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Ivan, although not a citizen of the USA, summoned stage manager Eric Bruhn onto the USA TV Talk News/Sports set and pointed out that Eric is a citizen of the USA, although Eric was born in Pusan, South Korea. Both Eric Bruhn and Ivan Alcime embarrassed one another as ethnic brothers. In other news, Al Bruhn reported on the Joey Bongiorno case which involves a Ridgefield Police Officer who arrested him on a misdemeanor marijuana charge that might lead to an unprecedented trial by jury. If Joey Bongiorno wins his case, there will be no more guilt by association when police arrest citizens on drug charges. Anyone arrested for a drug charge will have to have the drug on him or her and not just one of two people caught with drugs and both arrested. Who�s the Afro-American who looks like Moms Mabley and is stealing recyclables from Ridgefield homes? That question plus the license plate of the suspected individual was talked about during the live call-in. Regarding illegal immigrants, a Western Connecticut State University student called and complained about what he thought were illegal immigrants working on campus. Big T cautioned the caller about charging the campus employees as illegal immigrants and suggested the caller talk with the suspected aliens and send suspected illegal immigrants video to USA TV Talk News/Sports for broadcast on future editions. Big T reported that there is a need to round-up illegal immigrants and haul them off to US Immigration Offices. Bruhn said that Hispanics of USA citizenship will go underground with hidden cameras in the near future to report on illegal immigrants in the fall on local and national TV. Al Bruhn also reported that there will be hidden cameras with people strolling through downtown Danbury stores suspected of harboring and helping illegal immigrants. Big T said it is criminal to help illegal immigrants. Al Bruhn explained that people like former Danbury Common Council member Lynn Taborsak are sick in their attempts to quarantine illegal immigrants on Kennedy Park and treat them like animals. Bruhn said illegal immigrants must be helped either by allowing them to become legal citizens or deporting them back to their original country. Big T said all illegal immigrants must be deported back to their homeland. According to latest reports, there has been a decline of illegal immigrants parading around Kennedy Park in Danbury in search of jobs. The federal government in conjunction with city police have been cracking down on business operations supporting the undocumented immigrants. American Red Cross Heroism Award Given To Ridgefield Group (Ridgefield, Connecticut)...A dozen people connected with a Ridgefield based sports group have been honored by the American Red Cross for their heroism at a special breakfast banquet held April 24, 2008 at the Amber Room in Danbury, Connecticut.

And, Danbury cops can�t arrest anyone who is intoxicated on city property, since there is no state law governing drunks in public places. That was the topic of discussion during USA TV Talk News/Sports live call-in on Comcast TV 23 April 22, 2008 between 7 and 8pm with news anchor Al Bruhn and special guest Big T (Tom Bennett). Both Bruhn and Bennett broadcast video of illegal immigrants at Kennedy Park which included city police and Danbury citizens helping the undocumented foreigners. The controversial video drew mostly praise from viewers and one caller got into a shouting match with Big T over his talk with the caller�s mother who was serving coffee to illegal immigrants April 21, 2008. One caller suggested illegal immigrants should be drafted into the armed forces and serve in Iraq and earn freedom in America. Other callers condemned the fact that illegal immigrants get free medical help when they as American citizens can�t afford it. One apparently intoxicated caller asked Big T to join him after the live call-in at Kennedy Park to drink which Tom Bennett declined due to another engagement. Al Bruhn said he only drinks two glasses of Merlot a day for medical reasons and could not challenge the lack of local law on public intoxication. Hispanic American citizens will be going undercover among the illegal immigrant community in Danbury with hidden cameras during the next several months to gather data about lifestyle of the illegal immigrant and report on their findings next fall on USA TV Talk News/Sports, it was announced during the Earth Day live call-in at Comcast, which will also be shared with a major news network. The Earth Day live broadcast was the most explosive and dynamic production according to executive producer Al Bruhn, who is completing thirty years on local public access Comcast Channel 23 as America�s first longest running public access producer/host. �We�re number one because no other public access producer will produce controversial broadcasts as we do,� Bruhn explained. Following the broadcast, Al Bruhn trained in boxing with fellow staff John Read Middle School member Ben Weiss and WCSU wrestler/grappler Travis Wolf at Bruhn Home Gym. �I feel like a giant today,� Bruhn said. �I have conquered the unconquerable and I have I my WCSU wrestling/grappling team to thank,� Bruhn added. New USA TV Talk News/Sports technical crew is helping the Spring 2008 season to excel according to insiders at Comcast. (Danbury, Connecticut)...Earth Day 2008 will be celebrated during the sixth edition of the spring premiere of the all new USA TV Talk News/Sport Tuesday, April 22, 2008 on Comcast Channel 23, when anchor Al Bruhn and special guest Big T present their first in a series of investigative reports into illegal immigrants in downtown Danbury and how they impact the local environment. That's the claim by both Bruhn and Bennett during their latest live call-in broadcast April 15, 2008 on Comcast Channel 23. Carefully worded, Al Bruhn told his TV audience that he and Tom Bennett would keep Earth Day 2008 in mind when they view the scenery and how to keep it clean at Kennedy Park, where known illegal immigrants parade looking for jobs. One caller complained that she had been in America for 22 years and worked hard to pay her taxes and that she was fired and replaced by an illegal immigrant. On another issue, WW2 and the question of how many Jews died was discussed by Al Bruhn and Tom Bennett. The traditional Jewish stand is 6 million Jews perished, while other writers suggest fewer numbers due to a variety of reasons. One potential caller told USA TV Talk News/ Sports that she complained about the issue of WW2 as being discussed and wanted to stop it. Al Bruhn said a variety of viewpoints were read and discussed during the segment on How Many Jews Died During WW2, and that anyone can produce their own program and counter whatever they want as we live in America, the land of the best US Constitution. Both Bruhn and Bennett made satirical statements about the Pope's visit to the US and the Catholic church. And, Bruhn said he will continue his look into how church ministers can preach on Comcast public access and make money when that is in direct violation of rules and regulations governing all programming on Comcast Channel 23. Al Bruhn is represented by one of America's finest entertainment attorneys Lance Frank of New York City. Bruhn said he will meet with Attorney Frank April 21, 2008 to discuss a variety of media issues.

Singe, Al Bruhn continued to teach in regional public school districts and is currently a guest teacher with the Easton-Redding Public School District since 2004.

(Danbury, Connecticut)...How many Jews were killed during WW2? That questions will be addressed on the fifth edition of the all new spring premiere of USA TV Talk News/Sports with anchor Al Bruhn and guest Big T April 15, 2008 between 7 and 8pm on Comcast Channel 23. Fair and balanced reporting will be followed during the live call-in according to veteran news reporter Al Bruhn. Bruhn is of Jewish heritage and wants to look at the controversy surrounding the issue of WW2 and what really happened? What's the truth of the matter? Bruhn is proud of his German Jewish background and will celebrate Passover at sunset April 19, 2008. According to jewishvirtuallibrary.org, the Holocaust (also called Shoah in Hebrew) refers to the period from January 30, 1933, when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany, to May 8, 1945 (V�E Day), when the war in Europe ended. During this time, Jews in Europe were subjected to progressively harsh persecution that ultimately led to the murder of 6,000,000 Jews (1.5 million of these being children) and the destruction of 5,000 Jewish communities. These deaths represented two-thirds of European Jewry and one-third of world Jewry. The Jews who died were not casualties of the fighting that ravaged Europe during World War II. Rather, they were the victims of Germany's deliberate and systematic attempt to annihilate the entire Jewish population of Europe, a plan Hitler called the �Final Sol ution� (Endlosung). In contrast and according to a media group called Kirkville Today, the number of deaths which occurred in the Nazi-run concentration camps during WWII was only about 2 million total, and furthermore, we believe that most of the deaths were due to 1) disease; 2) malnutrition; 3) other causes such as hanging or shooting. After careful study, we do not believe the now-standard Holocaust �gassing� claims. We believe that any Zyklon-B pellets or tablets used at those camps during WWII were used to kill lice, which carried a serious disease called typhus. that the majority of the people killed by the Nazis were not Jewish [they were instead communists, leftists, gypsies, homosexuals, trade-union activists and so forth. And, Jon Dougherty of WorldNetDaily.com reports a Palestinian leader considered to be second-in-command after Chairman Yasser Arafat claimed in a pair of doctoral theses that the number of Jewish men, women and children killed by the Nazis during World War II is a fiction perpetuated by Jewish leaders and the West. The secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organization's Executive Committee, Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, discussed in a 1982 paper "the secret ties between the Nazis and the Zionist movement leadership." In a separate paper written two years later, Mazen "raised doubts that gas chambers were used for extermination of Jews and claimed that the number of Jews murdered in the Holocaust might be 'even less than a million,'" according to an interpretation published by the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI.(Ridgefield,Connecticut)...Is it Mrs. Gordon, Mrs. Polak or Mrs. Rolfes, who's the victim of a phone call from two Ridgefield, Connecticut teenagers who threatened to shoot one of the three grade five Ridgebury Elementary School teachers? That was the key question addressed during the fourth edition of the all new 2008 spring season premiere of USA TV Talk News/Sports with veteran Comcast gold medal decorated anchor Al Bruhn and noted cable TV talkshow host Big T (Tom Bennett) April 8, 2008 between 7 and 8pm on Comcast TV 23. Two Ridgefield Middle School students both aged 13 phoned a Ridgebury Elementary School grade five teacher April 3, 2008 and threatened to shoot her. Ridgefield Police claim the investigation that led to the arrest of the two Ridgefield teens is closed, but not according to noted educator and jounalist Al Bruhn. Bruhn contends that if the alleged phone call was a prank call, then the police should have reported it which it didn't in local press. But, if the teen's call to the grade five teacher is another issue then that should be investigated and not covered-up. Bruhn said Fox News reports that female teachers who engage in sex with male teens have a condition known as hebophilia. Bruhn said he knows Danbury education officials have covered-up similiar situations and advised the Ridgefield teens publicly to come forward to speak out about what really happened between them and the grade five teacher. On another issue, many viewers called to voice their concern about Danbury's illegal immigration problem. The federal governement is cracking down on city businesses that operate illegally and have indicted two Danbury Brazilian companies for various charges. Big T claimed victory for his call to investigate the city businesses on his cable TV talkshow Big T Talk & Variety previously broadcast on Comcast Channel 23 Friday nights at 9pm. USA TV Talk News/Sports viewers called in the praise the outspoken viewpoints of both Al Bruhn and Tom Bennett. The next edition will address the issue of whether or not 6 million jews were killed during WW2. USA TV Talk News/Sports will start the best of sports reporting during the new season when special sports reporter will interview and talk about sports as never heard before on local public access. "We have come a long way from the way broadcasting took place with our network," Bruhn explained. "I am happy the viewers love us and the one or two enemies too," Bruhn quipped.(Danbury,Connecticut)...Another K0 win for the duo team of Al Bruhn and Tom Bennett on the third edition of the all new USA TV Talk News/Sports Another K0 win for the duo team of Al Bruhn and Tom Bennett on the third edition of the all new USA TV Talk News/Sports during its telecast on Comcast TV 23 April 1, 2008. Dressed in his USA Wrestling attire with WCSU wrestling cap, Al Bruhn talked about a variety of controversial subjects including the elimination of cable TV public access evangelists who make money with their shows that is against Comcast rules and regulations governing public access programming. Al Bruhn said he will start a national campaign to inform the public about the legal problem with church ministers who use their pulpit to advertise religion to get churchgoers to attend their services and give money to them. At the same time, Al Bruhn, a jew by family blood and raised Catholic, held a recent edition of Catholic newspaper and told viewers the Catholic church is organized crime. On other subjects, Bruhn and Bennett talked about prisoned illegal immigrants and how they can be adopted especially by gay couples rather than be deported back to their homeland. No mercy for failing homeowners who need financial help to save their homes and supported by recent polls which was talked about during USA TV Talk News/Sports. One caller called for an investigation into the Danbury Public School district based upon how teachers are mistreating students. Bruhn, a retired city school teacher, again stated that he is writing a book titled The Anatomy Of A Bad Public School which will detail without names his experiences at a Danbury elementary school. Bruhn acknowledged that USA TV Talk News/Sports is the hottest local cable TV talkshow and has risen to the occasion to offer freedom of speech never seen or heard on local public access. Bruhn is represented by one of America's best entertainment attorneys. Next edition of USA TV Talk News/Sports will limelight public education and how parents are struggling with Ridgefield Public School District to home school their children.(Danbury, Connecticut)...Another grand slam win for the all new USA TV Talk News/Sports live call-in format hosted by veteran anchor Al Bruhn along with guest Tom Bennett which was broadcast on Comcast Channel 23 March 25, 2008 between 7 and 8pm. Only positive callers addressed the issue of illegal immigration in Danbury with Bruhn and Bennett on-air. Bennett said he is visiting the downtown Danbury area where illegal immigrants look for jobs. Although it is illegal to hire illegal immigrants, people pick-up the loitering foreigners for various jobs. Bruhn said he and Bennett plan to go undercover this summer and investigate illegal immigrants. On another topic, Al Bruhn questioned fellow cable TV talkshow host Ivan of Ideas At Work & Beyond about his website posting which tells parents to send their children to school with a tape recorder in backpack. Bruhn said while he supports Ivan's initiative, he believes it is illegal for students to tape record their teachers without permission and could subject parents like Ivan to legal problems. Bruhn reported he is writing a book on his experiences as a Danbury teacher for 30 years titled The Anatomy Of A Bad Public School with the legal guidance of a top rated entertainment attorney. Ridgefield Police Department's Taser came under fire during the broadcast citing a death of a teenager in another state when zapped with the potential deadly weapon. Despite Ridgefield elected officials and others in opposition to the use of Taser guns, RPD received permission to purchase the gun and train its officers in how to use them. Bruhn said he is pleased with the all new news/sports format and hails his new director Robert Ratchford along with stage manager Eric Bruhn. Sports will take front stage in April when a new sports anchor will appear on the set and talk about sports along with guests. Bruhn added that USA TV Talk News/Sports is now the most controversial cable TV talkshow on Comcast Channel 23 and claims his program will win awards in the future.(Danbury, Connecticut)...With News-Times in hand, controversial cable TV talk show host Big T (Tom Bennett) said he was the first to expose the federal investigation into RM Insurance Services in Danbury during the spring season 2008 premiere of USA TV Talk News/Sports with Al Bruhn. Big T of Big T Talk and Variety talked about the insurance firm last year during his weekly Friday night live call-in broadcasts. The News-Times reported that Renata Amaral and Monica Teixeira, the owners and operators of the insurance firm, were charged Monday with money laundering and making illegal wire transfers for allegedly moving nearly $10 million between Brazil and the United States. The two women were released from federal custody Tuesday on $500,000 bail after making an appearance in U.S. District Court. The women were ordered to home confinement, but they are allowe d to work.

Bruhn thanked his son Eric on-camera who was operating as stage manager during the hour long live call-in broadcast for motivating him to return back on camera and Dave King for his support of the all new program adventure. Big T talked about his past with cable TV and how he got involved as a former staff member of the Danbury Police Department when he issued the first indictment to then city mayor James E. Dyer that lead to his downfall from public office and disbarment from any future office in Danbury or State of Connecticut. Bruhn is America�s first longest running public access producer/host and recipient of Comcast gold award for longevity on Channel 23. Bruhn talked about his early involvement with local public access and how he set the stage for controversial comments including the on-air statement that the then city mayor Donald W.
