G. GORDON LIDDY Weekdays

Other radio hosts read and talk about the military, The FBI, high government officials, flying planes, parachuting, The White House, prison, practicing law, prosecuting, defending, gunfighting. G. Gordon Liddy has done it and speaks from personal experience. Who else have you ever heard of who was a prosecutor and defense lawyer admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States; an Army artillery officer, the youngest Bureau Supervisor in the FBI who out drew and captured a man twice on the Ten Most Wanted list? Was a high Treasury official; a White House aide; wrote the memo that led to the creation of the DEA? Who helped start the first Sky Marshal program and selected their weapons? Who served time in a maximum security prison; is the author of three best-sellers? Has acted in numerous television shows and movies; was trained as a paratrooper in Israel and jumped with the elite Israeli army paratroopers? Who drives a 200mph sportscar and rides two Harley Davidsons, has piloted a Soviet aerobatic plane and World War II allied and Luftwaffe aircraft? The G-Man has been there, done that, and got the Tee shirt. That's the difference. What other radio hosts can only fantasize and dream about, G. Gordon Liddy has done and still does! This is why people listen to the
G-man, G. Gordon Liddy. He's the real thing!

One of the leading European newspapers, Le Matin, of Paris, describes G. Gordon Liddy as "a man of fantastic intelligence and complexity." Educated privately by Benedictines and Jesuits, Mr. Liddy earned a B.S. degree from Fordham University and an Ll.D. from the Fordham Law School, graduating as a member of The Law Review. After two years service as an Army artillery officer during the Korean War, Mr. Liddy entered the FBI as a Special Agent, rapidly earned multiple commendations from the late J. Edgar Hoover and, at age 29, became the youngest Bureau Supervisor at FBI national headquarters in Washington, D.C., where he served during the Kennedy administration.

Mr. Liddy resigned from the FBI in 1962 to practice international law in Manhattan. Thereafter he served as a prosecutor, ran unsuccessfully for Congress from the 28th district of New York, then in 1968, ran the presidential campaign of Richard Nixon in that district.

In the Nixon administration, Mr. Liddy served first as Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury; was then appointed Enforcement Legislative Counsel, authored the Explosives Control Act and, in 1971 was sent to the White House as Staff Assistant to the President of The United States.

At the White House, Mr. Liddy had oversight responsibility for Treasury policy on firearms and explosives and authored the memorandum that led to the creation of the Drug Enforcement Administration. Subsequently he was assigned additional special duties as a member of the top secret White House Special Investigations Group. Mr. Liddy resigned his White House post to accept the positions of General Counsel of the 1972 Republican presidential campaign and the campaign finance committee, with additional duties as Campaign political intelligence director. The rest is history.

For his role in Watergate, and for refusing steadfastly to implicate others, Mr. Liddy was sentenced to over twenty years in prison. He served nearly five years, many in maximum security, including 106 days of solitary confinement, before his release by President Carter "in the interests of justice".

Today, Mr. Liddy is the host of THE G. GORDON LIDDY SHOW, his 170 market nationally syndicated radio program (celebrated eleven years in February 2003) celebrated 12 years, in February 2004. Mr. Liddy is the author of four best-sellers and numerous magazine articles, and is an actor in motion pictures and television; most recently, a co-star of "18 Wheels of Justice" a weekly television series on The National Network. Mr. Liddy was awarded Israeli paratrooper wings after training in Israel and jumping with the elite IDF parachute regiment in 1993 and jumped with them again in October 2001 and January 2003. He is a member of the Honor Legion of the Police Department of the City of New York and, according to The Wall Street Journal, is "one of the most sought after speakers in the nation."
