An entrepreneur who has owned his own business since high school, he has raced cars, has a journalism degree and a law degree and has also been a lobbyist for many organizations in Ohio. The guys cover a lot of ground: changes in education, social evolution, too much screen time, Alexa reading bedtime stories to kids, political systems, inside local political scoop, society losing it's grasp on scientific principles, participation trophies, racing, rebuilding cars, legal history, delicious Lobster of the Creek and much more.

Is it legal to tell people you are carrying a firearm to get them to back off? If your employer doesn't allow employees to carry guns, but allows customers to bring guns into the business, what can happen if you use a gun to defend yourself in the event of a robbery? What does it take to obtain an FFL, or open a gun store? We talk with Derek DeBrosse, partner at Munitions Law Group, a law firm dedicated exclusively to representing gun owners and firearms-related businesses. Derek is a regular guest speaker on legal topics for the NRA, as well as an NRA and USCCA Firearms Instructor. An Iraq war combat veteran as well, DeBrosse has a unique combination of real-world and legal firearms experience and drops a ton of firearms law knowledge on us. He and Steve Palmer, partner and veteran criminal defense attorney at Yavitch & Palmer, also discuss their experiences working together to not only successfully defend people accused of firearms-related charges, but to restore those individuals' gun rights.

If there is an active shooter event or other type of emergency, would your school, business or church be prepared? Would you know what to do? We talk with Nick Keisel, the owner of Ark Safety Consulting in central Ohio, who helps individuals, businesses, schools and churches stay safe by being prepared for the type of unexpected events that we unfortunately see happen too often in everyday places in the news. The guys talk threat assessment, site vulnerability assessment, cyberbullying, Ohio K-12 drill compliance, active shooter response training and mental preparedness. Nick has an extensive security background with over 18 years of military, law enforcement and school safety experience. In 2000, he joined the United States Marine Corps where he served eight years active duty in the Military Police and Criminal Investigation fields. Nick's first assignment was with the Presidential Helicopter Squadron (Marine One Security). He traveled extensively in support of the President. Nick was later promoted to an assignment in the Internal Security Department. In 2005, upon graduating from the Apprentice Special Agent Course in Missouri, he became a Criminal Investigator and was assigned to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California. ​After moving to Ohio Nick joined the Reynoldsburg Police Department in 2009. In 2012 he accepted a role as a School Resource Officer with the Reynoldsburg City School District. In late 2015, the District recognized Nick's contributions to school safety and hired him as their Director of Safety and Security. Nick now utilizes his extensive security experience at Ark Safety Consulting, helping institutions proactively identify security issues and train their people to have the necessary knowledge and level of mental preparedness to not only give them peace of mind, but also how to react quickly and effectively in an emergency situation.

Computers, A.I. and automation are in the process of making a lot of jobs obsolete. 2020 Presidential candidate Andrew Yang is running on a platform of Universal Basic Income (UBI) or Freedom Dividend. UBI would provide every person in the United States a monthly cash payment, kind of like the U.S. paying everyone a dividend for the success of the technology industry and for being a member of the United States of America Club. Yang says the numbers work and that the benefits to society - and the economy - greatly outweigh the price tag.

What rights do kids have at school? How does the Fourth Amendment - the protection against unreasonable search and seizure - apply in a school setting?

And they cover a lot of related information that parents, relatives and teens should know, from "reasonable suspicion" standards and exceptions, what teens as a group do most often with their cell phones that is actually a crime, to occasions when well-meaning parents have been manipulated into cooperating with school officials and police - to the detriment of their kids.

Revolutionize your diet and change your health - with Momma B's down-home - but better - way to cook! When Jared Blinsky's dad was diagnosed as being pre-diabetic, Mrs. Blinsky refused to accept it. She did her research, applied her legendary culinary skills - and got cooking. What happened next? Three months after eating Momma B's new way of cooking everyday, Mr. B shocked his doctor by dropping his A1C from 6+ to 4.7, and no longer needed diabetes medication. In less than a year, he dropped 40 pounds - and went from a 38 to a 32 inch waist. When asked by his doctor what he was doing, he replied, "I just eat what my wife puts on the table." Find out how to work the Momma B magic in your own kitchen! Get great recipe tips and tricks - and find out why this way of eating works. Is sugar more addictive than heroin?

"The question becomes...are we using governmental power to force certain citizens to believe or think a certain way? I think that's impossible. I think not only is it impossible... it's unconstitutional." How much power do you want the government to have? We all believe in free speech, don't we? Free speech is core to the American value system and of course the Bill of Rights. But what about when what is being said seems anti-American, morally repugnant - or just plain disgusting? Should there be limits? And who decides? www.ohiolegaldefense.com [email protected]

The Pike County massacre, the execution-style murder of 8 members of the Rhoden family in 2016, rocked this rural southeast Ohio community and made national headlines.
