Welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. Let's dive in! 1. AER-Thank you for addressing this and to whomever asked the question. In regards to cults vs churches it also doesn't have to be one singular leader. As an ex-cult member and having escaped I would say the biggest thing to look at is how exclusive the environment is. Is there a real separation in "Us vs Them" mentality. And how welcoming is the environment to being open to questions. There are endless people in cults that don't even realize they are.Hey, as a follow up to my comment on the cult question, this can be added if you'd like :)I just wanted expand further on my previous comment about the dangers of the "Us vs Them" mindset. When the narrative is set that you must not mingle with "those outside" that is a MAJOR red flag. When the control takes over and you are encouraged to only spend time with those that are part of the same church it creates this isolation. They are isolating you (or you as a group) on purpose. Because the deeper it goes the more control there is. They create a narrative that everything out there will destroy you, send you to hell etc. This quickly evolves in to a threat that if you leave, you won't have any family or friends. No connections and no support. This is entirely abusive behaviour that is meant to keep you locked in. It's meant to keep you afraid of leaving. And the thing is, we often think of cults as the weird and wacky documentaries we see with extreme leaders but the reality is they are far more common and subtle than we realize. These high demand religions with such a sense of exexclusivity and endless unwritten rules, that's what is so important to keep a keen eye on and be aware of.2. . AER AER AER! for Episode 434, Specifically for question, Can an individual be a follower of Christ and still be a ICe? Etc. First off, ICE is a U.S. federal law‑enforcement agency, specializing in immigration, specifically Illegal Immigration. So, if we ask this question about ICE, then we should be asking this question about all Law Enforcement. Can you be a follower of Christ and work in Law Enforcement. I can tell you that I have been in Law Enforcement for over 20 years and the reason I went into Law Enforcement is because of my love for Christ. I joined Law Enforcement to SERVE and PROTECT, those to citizen, residence, and visitors of our country who abide by the law and enter the country LEGALLY (Entering Illegally is AGAINST the law, whether people like it or not). This doesn't mean I and every Law Enforcement Officer uses violence in ever aspect of our career for those who break the law, actually it's quite the opposite. We talk and use every other means we can to come to a peacefully resolution until either there's no other option or the other person acts first, then we have to make spit second decisions on what needs to be done. I have never gone to work looking to fight, taze, pepper spray or shoot anyone. I pray before every shift that WE (Myself and all I interact with, even the “Bad Guys”) go home safely after every shift.Now, I'm not saying all Law Enforcement is like that either, there are a FEW bad apples in the profession, just like any profession, Doctors, Mechanics and even Pastors or those within the Church. But don't Clump Everyone Who works in the profession together based on a few bad apples or by what the Media blows out of proportion. Being a follower of Christ in any type of work depends on how YOUR work is carried out (INDIVIDUALLY not collectively as a group) and whether it aligns with Christlike ethics and values. Christians can serve ethically within an imperfect system, working to ensure humane treatment and resisting abuses from the inside. From this view, a Christian can work for ICE or Law Enforcement if they carry out their duties with integrity, compassion, and a commitment to protecting the vulnerable. I want to apologize for this rant, I usually don't comment but feel that Law Enforcement is getting a real bad wrap because of a FEW isolated incidents and I as a Christian I urge believers to avoid taking a simplistic “for or against ICE/Law Enforcement” stance, Instead, I encourage seek biblical values first, not political alignment and get all the actual facts (NOT social media) before making an informed decision.3. This question comes from a place of deep pain and confusion, so I ask for grace, my intension is not to ridicule anyone, I am asking for help processing. I have been on a deconstruction journey for ten years. After enduring years of some of the deepest pain known to humankind many of my schemas for church life are very muddled. I am confused by what I've witnessed at church gatherings in the last month. I know that the leadership of our church loves YHWH deeply, I am not questioning that. At the AGM two of the church leadership stated that they were certain God was blessing us in selling our property and used mystical examples of why they put stock in their feelings/thoughts being from YHWH. Today in service the children were brought up to celebrate prayers that YHWH had answered. Now I too believe in YHWH speaking to us in a variety of ways. I noted that what the children were attributing to YHWH as answers to their prayers could have happened if they had prayed or not. If you bang your leg and pray for it to get better or if you bang your leg and don't pray, most likely the pain will go away either way. I'm very afraid that my question will be misunderstood, I am not trying to minimize the beauty of faith or the experience the children had. I've desired to faithfully follow YHWH my entire life. My question is how do we know what to attribute to YHWH and when do we as Christians need to exercise more critical thinking skills? Kyle prayed today that we would be open to being disappointed again, I assumed he was referring to how many of us have struggled with prayers of hope or faith since Jayden passed, maybe my assumption is wrong. I know I have personally seen the faithfulness of YHWH this year, I am also in the midst of extreme suffering. How do we reconcile, process, trust and love others purposefully when YHWH is blessing us in some ways and in others he seems incredibly silent. Why did Jesus raise some people from the dead and not others. It was crushing to sit in church today hearing how YHWH is answering some peoples prayers and my suffering increases. I know I will continue to seek refuge in YHWH's love and patience with me. Thank you for holding space in this platform for the pain and confusion.Do you have a question you've been wanting answered?

The Washington State House has passed a controversial bill, HB 2034, that redirects $4.5 billion from the Law Enforcement Officers' and Firefighters' Retirement System Plan 1 (LEOFF 1) while simultaneously passing record tax hikes. Republicans and pension advocates are raising alarms about the long-term implications of this decision. While Democrats claim the fund is healthy and retirees will receive promised benefits, critics like Representative John Ley are skeptical, likening the promises to easily broken "pie crust promises." The bill terminates LEOFF 1, creates a new plan, and transfers the funds, raising concerns about future legislative raids on pension funds. This move comes despite warnings from pension analysts about overly optimistic investment growth projections that could undermine the system's health, prompting fears of potential negative impacts on retirees and the state's financial stability.

Police Shot At and Investigating Violent Crime: The Truth. In today's nonstop Social Media environment, from Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to YouTube, Apple, and Spotify podcasts, conversations about policing often focus on headlines rather than reality. Viral clips and breaking News stories frequently highlight moments when officers fire their weapons or when suspects are shot. Far less discussed, however, is a critical perspective: what happens psychologically and physically when police are shot at. The Podcast is available and shared for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. That is exactly the conversation explored in this Podcast episode featuring retired Texas law enforcement leader Charles “Chuck” Andrews, a former chief of police who spent decades handling violent incidents, including shootings where victims were struck multiple times. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “The public often sees the final seconds,” Andrews explained. “They see the moment an officer fires. What they don't see is everything leading up to it, especially the reality of being shot at and having to make decisions in fractions of a second.” Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The Reality Officers Face When Bullets Fly Discussions surrounding use of force typically center on policy, legality, and accountability. Andrews says those discussions are necessary, but incomplete. Police Shot At and Investigating Violent Crime: The Truth. “We talk a lot about when officers fire their weapons,” he said. “We also talk about when officers are shot and wounded. But rarely do people talk about what it's actually like when rounds are coming toward you.” According to Andrews, the experience is both physiological and psychological. Officers must process threat recognition, environmental awareness, and survival instincts simultaneously while protecting others nearby. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. “When you're being shot at, your brain is processing danger faster than conscious thought,” he said. “Training takes over because there isn't time for debate.” The Science Behind Being Shot Understanding shootings requires understanding what a bullet actually does to the human body, a topic often misunderstood in movies and online debates. Police Shot At and Investigating Violent Crime: The Truth. A gunshot wound involves a rapid transfer of kinetic energy from a projectile into human tissue. The damage is determined largely by velocity, not simply size. Energy Transfer: Because velocity is squared in physics calculations, faster rounds deliver exponentially greater destructive potential. Permanent vs. Temporary Cavities: A bullet crushes tissue along its direct path while also creating a temporary cavity, a shockwave that stretches surrounding tissue. High-velocity rounds can cause severe internal damage far beyond the visible wound. The Momentum Myth: Contrary to Hollywood portrayals, bullets do not knock people backward. The momentum transfer is minimal compared to body mass, meaning individuals typically collapse due to physiological failure, not impact force. “People expect dramatic knockdowns,” Andrews said. “In reality, incapacitation usually comes from blood loss, nervous system disruption, or organ damage, not from being thrown backward.” Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Different tissues respond differently to ballistic trauma. Elastic tissues such as muscle may stretch and recover, while organs like the liver or brain are far more vulnerable to catastrophic damage. Bone impacts frequently result in fragmentation, creating secondary projectiles inside the body. Police Shot At and Investigating Violent Crime: The Truth. Bullets may also yaw or fragment after entering tissue, increasing injury severity. Supersonic Reality: Why You May Never Hear the Shot One of the lesser-known truths Andrews discusses involves sound and perception during shootings. Most modern rifle rounds, and many handgun rounds, travel faster than the speed of sound. These supersonic projectiles create a sonic crack as they break the sound barrier. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. “If a round is supersonic, it hits before you hear the gunshot,” Andrews explained. “That surprises people, but physics doesn't wait for perception.” Rifle rounds commonly travel thousands of feet per second, well beyond the speed of sound. Many handgun rounds, including common 9mm ammunition, are also supersonic. Subsonic ammunition travels slower than sound, meaning the gunshot may be heard before impact. Police Shot At and Investigating Violent Crime: The Truth. Because of this, officers under fire often react to impacts, debris, or instinct, not sound. “That's part of why these encounters are so chaotic,” Andrews said. “Your senses don't behave the way people expect.” Investigating Violent Crime: Complexity Behind the Scenes Beyond the moment of force, Andrews emphasized the intricate and often misunderstood process of investigating violent crime. It is discussed across News platforms and shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple, and Spotify, where true crime audiences continue to get their content. Every officer-involved shooting triggers layers of examination, forensic analysis, witness interviews, ballistic reconstruction, and policy review. “The Truth is investigations are extremely detailed,” he said. “Every movement, every decision, every angle gets analyzed. It's not quick, and it shouldn't be.” He noted that investigators must balance objectivity with the realities of human performance under extreme stress. Police Shot At and Investigating Violent Crime: The Truth. “You're analyzing decisions made in milliseconds with the benefit of months of hindsight,” Andrews said. “That's why experience matters.” From Policing to Influence: A Career Beyond the Badge Today, Andrews applies his law enforcement and security expertise globally as a security strategist and influencer. His Book, Yes S.I.R.: The Security Influencer's Guide to Success Using Strategy, Intelligence, and Relationships, outlines how professionals can build careers through networking, leadership, and collaboration. The book has earned praise across the security and law enforcement communities, with industry leaders describing Andrews as a pioneer and connector within the profession. “Relationships are everything,” Andrews said. “Whether you're investigating crime or building a career, success comes from strategy, intelligence, and trust.” Changing the Conversation As discussions about policing continue across digital platforms and Social Media, Andrews believes education is key to bridging public understanding. Police Shot At and Investigating Violent Crime: The Truth. You can find the show on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. “People deserve transparency,” he said. “But they also deserve context, the science, the psychology, and the reality officers face.” In an era where viral clips can shape public perception within minutes, deeper conversations, through podcasts, long-form discussions, and educational content, may help audiences better understand the complexities behind deadly force encounters. “The goal isn't to justify or criticize,” Andrews added. “It's to understand. Because understanding is where better conversations begin.” Charles is also heavily involved with a 5019(c3) charity that helps children of Law Enforcement Officers and Military. It is called Gratitude Initiative. Established in 2013 they honor the sacrifices of our Military and Law Enforcement families by helping their children succeed in college, their career, and life.  His message is available across The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, their facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, where professionals related to his honest discussions.

Her Police Father Was Killed While On The Job: A Daughter's Voice, A Family's Fight, and a Mission to Help Others. Those words are not a headline to Tiffany Yant, they are the defining moment that reshaped her life. Tiffany is the daughter of Police Officer Ross Bartlett of the Ceresco Police Department in Nebraska, a veteran law enforcement officer who was killed in the line of duty during a traffic stop. Her Podcast appearance, and content shared for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. Tiffany is using her voice, through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, their Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram,to tell her father's story, expose painful truths, and help other families who suffer unimaginable loss. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. She recently appeared as a guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, where the free episode is available on the show's website as well as on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most major podcast platforms. “This isn't just about my dad,” Tiffany says. “It's about what happens to families after the lights fade, the headlines stop, and the systems fail.” Her Police Father Was Killed While On The Job: A Daughter's Voice, A Family's Fight, and a Mission to Help Others. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . A Life of Service, A Line-of-Duty Death On April 12, 2024, Officer Ross Bartlett was conducting a traffic stop on southbound Highway 77, just south of Ceresco, Nebraska. He was seated in his patrol car when a pickup truck struck his vehicle from behind, forcing it into the car he had stopped. Bystanders immediately rushed in, attempting life-saving measures. Officer Bartlett was airlifted to Bryan Health West Campus, where he later succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the stopped vehicle suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Investigators later determined the pickup truck driver was driving distracted. “My father was doing his job, protecting others,” Tiffany said during the podcast. “He never made it home.” Her Police Father Was Killed While On The Job: A Daughter's Voice, A Family's Fight, and a Mission to Help Others. The driver was charged with felony motor vehicle homicide. On Oct. 29, 2025, a Lancaster County District Court judge found him guilty after he changed his plea from not guilty to no contest. He was sentenced to more than two years in jail, and his driver's license was revoked for two years. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Thirty Years of Service, and a Family Left Behind Officer Bartlett dedicated 30 years to law enforcement, serving seven years with the Ceresco Police Department, while also working concurrently for seven years as an investigator with the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services. His career included service with the Valentine Police Department, Boone County Sheriff's Office, Madison Police Department, Madison County Sheriff's Office, and Newman Grove Police Department. Beyond policing, he also served as a volunteer firefighter with the Ceresco Fire Department. “My dad lived a life of service,” Tiffany said. “He gave everything to his community.” But according to Tiffany, when her family needed support the most, it never came. “The Ceresco Police Department totally dropped the ball in assisting our family,” she said. “And they still do.” Her Police Father Was Killed While On The Job: A Daughter's Voice, A Family's Fight, and a Mission to Help Others.

GIVE BLUE HOPE exists to help bridge the financial gap for the immediate families of Law Enforcement Officers, Corrections Officers, and First Responders who are feloniously assaulted and killed in the line of duty. “When an officer is killed, benefits don't arrive overnight,” Tiffany explained. “Families still have mortgages, groceries, funerals, and bills, right now.” The organization's charitable gifts are not meant to replace pensions or benevolent benefits, but to support families during the critical months before those benefits are awarded. “We step in when families are at their most vulnerable,” she said. “That gap can be devastating.” It is discussed across News platforms and shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple, and Spotify, where true crime audiences continue to get their content.

Episode 272- Jersey Spreads the Oppression  Also Available OnSearchable Podcast Transcript Gun Lawyer — Episode Transcript SUMMARY KEYWORDS Second Amendment rights, New Jersey gun laws, national firearm licensing, anti-gun oppression, domestic violence restraining order, federal firearms licensing act, gun control measures, gun rights suppression, gun violence prevention, gun rights advocacy, gun rights litigation, gun rights education, gun rights resources, gun rights history, gun rights updates. SPEAKERS Speaker 2, Teddy Nappen, Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:17 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:20 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, New Jersey is spreading the oppression. New Jersey is like a cancer when it comes to Second Amendment rights, and it has to metastasize. This is really one of the primary reasons that Gun Lawyer, our show here, has reach that is further than just New Jersey, even though we focus a lot on New Jersey. But New Jersey is where we see the experimenting done at the cost of our rights, where we see the oppression in full force and effect. And we see their newest machinations coming from the Left wing, anti-Second Amendment, anti-American, think tanks getting their origins in New Jersey. Then spreading and then spreading, with an attempt to spread it to all of America. Evan Nappen 01:26 So, of course, we have New Jersey senators, strictly New Jersey senators here, that are now pushing a national gun licensing scheme, which is national Second Amendment rights oppression, to force the entire country into the agenda of disarmament via New Jersey style. And it is why you have to, we have to, keep the fight up here in New Jersey, which is the front line of the battle. We need to get our politics here changed, because the cancer has to stop. Evan Nappen 02:13 And here’s what they’re proposing right now. Granted, it’s not likely to pass in the current climate right now with Republicans in control, barely, but in control of both houses, and with President Trump at the helm. But it is something that tells you where the Democrats will go should they ever regain power again, and this is showing you just how far they will go to oppress our Second Amendment rights. I mean, it’s apparently not bad enough that the Democrats are so-called Democrat socialists, you know, communist light. But even just in terms of the Constitution that they are supposedly sworn to uphold, it is demonstrated as to be a false oath by them over and over again. Page – 1 – of 13 Evan Nappen 03:14 So, here is the current push, and by the way, this is from an article from Bearing Arms, and it’s by Tommy Knighton. It says, “NJ’s Senators Push National Gun Licensing Bill”. (https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/01/04/njs-senators-push-national-gun-licensing-bill- n1231085) So, who are the culprits here? Who are those oppressors out of New Jersey? Well, of course, it’s Senator (Corey) Booker and Senator (Andy) Kim. They’ve introduced this legislation, and they’re calling it the Federal Firearm Licensing Act (FFLA). Now, don’t confuse the title. Teddy Nappen 03:43 Doesn’t Cory Booker ever stop talking. Evan Nappen 03:46 Yeah. Don’t confuse this Federal Firearms Licensing Act with the way we traditionally think of an FFL as being a dealer. No, no, no. What they’re doing here, and maybe it’s part of their attempt to fool the public, I don’t know. But it would mandate that every American obtain a Federal Firearms License before purchasing or receiving any firearm. So, if you want to purchase or receive a firearm in America, you’re going to have to get an FFL. Now, this obviously isn’t a dealer FFL. It’s just a private person wanting to exercise Second Amendment rights FFL. This is apparently one of the most comprehensive federal gun control measures, what I prefer to call Second Amendment oppression measures, requiring and establishing a nationwide licensing system. Putting numerous new requirements on every American. Evan Nappen 04:59 Under this proposed legislation, you would need to complete a mandatory firearms training safety that includes both written and hands-on instruction before qualifying for a license. And this is a license just to obtain a firearm. This isn’t to carry a firearm. The Attorney General will then conduct background checks on every applicant, and the FBI would perform regular compliance checks to monitor license holders. So, you’re going to be constantly monitored by the FBI, as well as having to go through this. Each license will expire after five years, requiring gun owners to renew their permission to purchase firearms. And, of course, if the license expires and you don’t renew it, you’re losing your guns and your gun rights. And this is what the oppressionists, what New Jersey’s senators, are putting forward to try to create a national firearm licensing scheme. Of course, it has the end game of utter confiscation and to turn us into, you know, the U.K. basically. Evan Nappen 06:19 The bill will fundamentally alter how Americans can buy and sell firearms privately. Unlicensed individuals could no longer transfer to other unlicensed individuals. Instead, all transactions have to go through dealers, and selling or transferring a firearm without a Federal license issued within the previous 30 days would be illegal. Sellers are mandated to report transactions to law enforcement, etc. So, you can see this is just scratching the surface of this so-called Federal Firearms Licensing Act. It’s designed for the furtherance of their agenda. And this agenda we see come alive in New Jersey. How New Jersey citizens are turned into criminals. Law-abiding citizens turned into criminals by New Jersey Page – 2 – of 13 gun law. I deal with that every day, defending my clients who Jersey has made into law-abiding criminals. And this is something that they want to spread to the entire United States. So, beware. Evan Nappen 07:35 And keep in mind the history of gun rights oppression, beginning with New Jersey, and spreading to the entire U.S. is documented through a number of laws. For example, New Jersey first had the domestic violence misdemeanor and/or restraining order gun ban. New Jersey had it as a state law first, where if you had a domestic violence restraining order, or what New Jersey calls a disorderly person. We can view it as a misdemeanor offense. Concerning domestic violence, then you became a prohibited person to have a firearm. That was not a national law. That was state law. New Jersey was one of the originators of that law. Evan Nappen 08:22 And, of course, it was something that radically departed from what were traditionally prohibited persons. It had to be felons, convicted felons, and originally, it was violent felons, but at least you had to have a felony conviction. But now what you saw was misdemeanant, misdemeanant, a misdemeanant, suddenly having a gun disqualifier. And even less than being a misdemeanant, somebody with a civil restraining order became forfeit, disenfranchised of their Second Amendment rights. And New Jersey did it first to its own people. Then Senator, the corpse, Lautenberg, as you may recall, put it forward federally, and it became federal law by a New Jersey Senator. Creating new disqualifiers for domestic violence restraining order and/or domestic violence misdemeanor. Thereby, retroactively, by the way, because there’s no ex post facto when it comes to a civil disqualifier. Retroactively disqualifying hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people that were lawful gun owners into being unlawful gun owners. And lowering the bar for a loss of Second Amendment rights. Evan Nappen 10:01 This has impacted thousands of people in their gun rights, criminal prosecutions, et cetera. And, of course, no piece of paper ever actually really protected somebody. I mean, that’s a joke. You know, these restraining orders are feel good more than anything. I mean, good luck. I mean, we’ve seen case after case where, yeah, the person had a restraining order, and they still became victimized by the person who was restrained. And even taking away guns from the person who has the restraining order. Yeah, oh, there’s no way that they might get another gun, right? So, that thousands of people get their guns seized. Teddy Nappen 10:49 Or, the classic. He threw pretzels at me! Evan Nappen 10:52 Right! Oh, God. Teddy Nappen 10:53 Or where you get accused of something that isn’t true, that they make stuff up and there’s clear falsification. And then. Page – 3 – of 13 Evan Nappen 11:00 Teddy, you’re so right. As soon as that TRO, Temporary Restraining Order, issues based on the flimsiest of allegations, with you having no say whatsoever. And, you know, it’s harder to get a sandwich at Wawa, than to get a TRO issued against somebody. You now have to go to court. Your guns are going to be seized pursuant to that TRO, and you’re going to have a fight, not only on the allegations, but also on trying to regain your rights. And it’s just a nightmare that can be triggered on the flimsiest of allegations. We see it all the time. And oh, well, that’s not politically correct. Well, it doesn’t matter, folks. I don’t do this show so I can maintain political correctness. Evan Nappen 11:46 I’m telling you what I see as a practicing attorney all the time in this area. I see the abuse, abuse of rights, okay? I see this system being abused against individuals. None of this means that I’m in favor of someone being domestically abused, being violently abused in any capacity. I don’t want to see anybody abused. But that doesn’t mean that we do not talk about the actual effect that we see happen over and over and over again when it comes to the Lautenberg law that started with New Jersey and became federal law by New Jersey senators spreading the cancer, spreading the oppression, to the entire United States. So, that’s why this bill that you may think right now is not a threat, but don’t underestimate how important it is to be aware of it and to know that this very well could become reality. Because other bills in the past that were thought impossible, too, become law have become federal law. So, New Jersey is the state to watch when it comes to the danger to our Second Amendment rights. Evan Nappen 13:08 Now I have a letter here from Ask Evan, and this is from Ron. Ron says, I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Well, thank you, Ron. I’m not sure if this is in your area of expertise, but I’m interested on how to handle fish and wildlife officers when hunting with a firearm. With open fields and extended powers granted them, what are we required to do and say to them when approached in the field while hunting,? Are there any recommendations or common issues you encounter how to prevent becoming a gun owner mess up of the week? I like how you call this. It’s a GOFU. You don’t want to be a GOFU, and I appreciate that you don’t want to be a GOFU. Teddy Nappen 13:45 Oh, check every, check every bush. Check every bush when you go out hunting, because you may find a fish and game officer. Evan Nappen 13:50 Hiding behind any bush, right? So, yeah, that reminds me of, I don’t know if I should tell that joke about. The law professor, the appellate judge, and the trial court judge all went hunting. So, they’re out hunting, and in front of the appellate court judge, the bush shook and moved, and out walks a deer. Now the appellate court judge looks at that and says, okay, there’s a three-part test to determine if that deer is a deer. You know, you gotta look at the antlers. You gotta look if there are any. Then you gotta look at the hoofs and the tail. And by the time he does a three-part test of the appellate judge’s determination, the deer is gone. It took off. Next thing you know, in front of the law professor, another little bush shakes and out walks a deer. And the law professor knows it’s a deer, but before he shoots, Page – 4 – of 13 he says, you know what’s the societal impact of me shooting this deer? I wonder how it might affect civil rights and current DEI requirements and all that. By the time he finishes all his social considerations, that deer is gone. Next thing you know, in front of the trial court judge, the bush shakes, and the trial court judge immediately fires into the bush and says, damn, I hope that’s a deer. Anyway, I know if you’re and maybe, maybe you have to be a lawyer to appreciate it, maybe you don’t. Evan Nappen 14:36 Anyway. Well, back to the hunting and fishing question here, Teddy. Sorry to torture people with that. And it’s a really good question. And what it says is, what do you do in this situation. Well, here’s the deal. Law enforcement is law enforcement. Fish and Game Officers are law enforcement officers, and they’re proud to say they are. So, the question is, do you have to talk to law enforcement? And the answer is, no, you don’t. You don’t have to talk to law enforcement. Now, what you do have to do, though, is you have to provide your pedigree information. I mean, if they asked to see your license, I would suggest show them your license and identifying yourself as you would with any officer, your pedigree information. But I would not talk anything about your activities in the field. I would not talk about anything about anything. Evan Nappen 15:40 I mean, if they walk up to you and you have your gun, then they want to make sure that things are safe. So, they may ask to secure your firearm in some manner, and it’s best to cooperate with that. But as far as what you say, you have a Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. You have a Sixth Amendment right to an attorney. You have no obligation to speak to them about any other questions they may have about having to do anything that requires you to say something without a lawyer, other than what I would just leave as identification and pedigree as to who you are, but that’s essentially how it is. And you know, if they say, hey, we want to search your vehicle. No, you do not consent to them searching your vehicle. If they’re going to search no matter what, then they’ll do whatever they’re going to do. But you are not going to consent to it, and that’s the difference. Evan Nappen 15:40 The problem is that with Fish and Game violations, you can end up having your gun rights in jeopardy. They will attempt to use your hunting violations as public health, safety, welfare, character assassination type tactics. Where they will say, oh, you didn’t hunt properly, or follow the hunting laws, etc, with firearms. And then they’ll use it to try to then take away your gun rights. So, there is a risk when hunting that hunting charges can jeopardize your gun rights by them using what I call the all- inclusive miscellaneous weasel clause, also known as “public health, safety, and welfare” of the 58-3 licensing requirements. They will take your hunting violations and try to push it into a claim that somehow you’re a danger. So, you have to be careful with having hunting violations, because, yes, it can directly come into conflict and cause problems for your Second Amendment rights on possession of firearms, generally speaking. So, always stand on your rights and be aware that your rights don’t just disappear because the Law Enforcement Officer you’re dealing with happens to be a Fish and Game Law Enforcement Officer. Page – 5 – of 13 Evan Nappen 15:55 Hey, let me tell you about our friends at WeShoot, which is a range where Teddy and I both shoot in Lakewood. We love WeShoot. Well, they’ve been spotlighting some of their instructors, and they have really top notch instructors. They are highlighting about their expert instructor, retired Detective Sergeant Jim Weinberg, aka Rabbi Jim, folks. That’s right, Rabbi Jim is a legendary instructor at WeShoot, and Rabbi Jim is really top notch. He’s had a lifetime of service. Over 30 years in law enforcement experience in both the Union County’s Prosecutor’s Office and as Union County Police Officer. And he spent two decades with SWAT/UCERT operator. He’s trained thousands, and he’s a PTC Certified Instructor as well. That’s for Police Training Commission purposes. And he served as a Fire Instructor at the police academy. And so he is one of their great trainers at WeShoot. He can do the RPO qualifications, and he can do CCARE. And he has a great teaching style. Jim is just one of the great instructors that you can have instruct you at WeShoot. Evan Nappen 20:50 It’s amazing resource that we have right there in Central Jersey, easily accessible off the Parkway. They have a great pro shop, great staff and a great range. I mean it. We love WeShoot, and so will you. Go to weshootusa.com, weshootusa.com. Check out their website. You’ll find they have wonderful photography and, of course, you want to check out the WeShoot girls that have great guns and other things that they display proudly that you will love to see. And you can find those at the pro shop. They often run great sales and deals. So, make sure you check out weshootusa.com. Evan Nappen 21:39 Also, I want to mention our good friends at the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. Boy oh, boy, things are heating up. We have some major litigation that we’re going to see some major results on in the Third Circuit, where the full panel has agreed on a number of our issues to do the review. We’re cautiously optimistic here about seeing some real important wins in terms of the case law. The Association is there at the forefront on this litigation. Very exciting. Regarding so-called assault firearms and large capacity magazines, which we prefer to call standard capacity magazines and assault firearms. Man, the pejorative terms of the Left. They’re just so ridiculous. Evan Nappen 22:35 Anyway, the bottom line is, it’s not just words. It’s the effect that these wacko definitions that they put into law arbitrarily turn us into criminals, and that’s what has to end. I’m cautiously optimistic that the court is going to do that. The court is going to step up and finally address these key issues in a positive way for our Second Amendment rights. I mean, folks, I know it gets depressing out there with how we’re treated, but the truth is, we are making tremendous progress. We really are. Between President Trump’s administration and with the Supreme Court and with his appointment of judges throughout the federal court system, we are seeing great progress. I’m really excited for it, but we have to stay vigilant. As you know, the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs will help you maintain your vigilance. Go to anjrpc.org, and make sure you join as a member. You’ll get those email updates, and you’ll be glad you did. Page – 6 – of 13 Evan Nappen 23:50 And let me also shamelessly promote my book New Jersey Gun Law, which is the Bible of New Jersey gun law, and you will enjoy it immensely. And you can say to yourself, how does a state like New Jersey even exist with this insane matrix of laws? But at least you’ll know because you have the book on how to safely navigate through them. So, get your copy of New Jersey Gun Law today. The 25th Anniversary Edition is available from EvanNappen.com Hey, that sounds like my name. Well, in fact, it is.

So, you want to make sure you have the book and belong on the subscriber base so that you can stay current. Teddy, what do you have for us today? Teddy Nappen 25:03 Well, as you know, Press Checks are always free. And because it’s the new year, we always gotta check in on the gun rights suppressors and what’s the latest of their propaganda. They decided to put out a report card like they’re, like they’re, a teacher scolding the states for failing to apply their gun rights oppression. (https://giffords.org/lawcenter/resources/scorecard/) But New Jersey, who is the teacher’s pet, got an A. Evan Nappen 25:34 Of course, New Jersey got an A. What does the “A” stand for? Teddy Nappen 25:37 “A” stands for anti-gunners. Also, for New Jersey, the Bloomberg check cleared. So, obviously they’re going to push for it. So. Evan Nappen 25:46 I thought a stands for “a holes”. Teddy Nappen 25:49 That works, too. But yeah, they break it down in that. You can go to their website and check it out. They make it very convenient to click and compare/contrast states. By the way, New Hampshire got an F. So, good job. Evan Nappen 26:03 Oh, New Hampshire, good. F for freedom. Teddy Nappen 26:06 F for freedom. Yep. F for freedom. A for anti-gunners. That’s how we look at it. But I love how they tote it. Which is gun law strength rank, number two. Sorry, they lost. I guess California still wins the day. Teddy Nappen 26:19 Really? Wait, who was number one? Page – 7 – of 13 Teddy Nappen 26:24 From pulling up from that, pulling up, I believe it was California. Evan Nappen 26:28 That makes sense. Teddy Nappen 26:30 They went. Yep, California is number one. Yeah, congratulations to California. Good luck. Good luck. How are the fires? Anyways, I love how they tote the gun death rate ranking, one of the lowest gun death rankings. They always love to tote that. And what is gun deaths? Well, anyone who’s been shot by a firearm, regardless. They count and they misconstrue and put a stamp on it. And by the way, a lot of the other states don’t like to report. Evan Nappen 27:05 They push these false statistics. They’re just such liars. They’re unbelievable. They just, you know, they contort the statistics to make it fit their agenda. It’s that simple. Teddy Nappen 27:17 Yeah, it’s what they do. And they highlighted New Jersey’s investment of nearly $34 million in community violence intervention programs. What does that translate into? Oh, the domestic violence programs, all the anti-gun, you know, NGOs to fund our gun right suppression. Basically, when they say that, it’s them saying New Jersey is paying Democrats to take away your rights. Evan Nappen 27:45 Good way to translate it. Teddy Nappen 27:46 Yeah, just from following the money. I do love the comment section. Again, I’m treating this like a teacher going over. Well, you did a very good job. However, for a way to improve, expand your firearm responsibility laws, aka make a law to circumvent the PLCCA so that you can sue gun companies to create gun deserts. They want to require prohibited people to relinquish their firearms, even though prohibited people aren’t allowed to possess firearms. But that’s just, you know, they’re just, they’re just throwing something extra out there. And to raise the minimum age for purchase or carry a firearms to 21. I mean, at this point. Evan Nappen 28:33 Raise the age for guns, but they want to lower voting to 16. It’s amazing how certain civil rights should have high ages, and other civil rights have low ages. But we can’t just say the age of majority for everything, God forbid, right? 18. Teddy Nappen 28:50 I know. I know the you know the age should be 20. You know, I wonder what would happen to the Dems when you hear the age 21 to vote? Yeah. Page – 8 – of 13 Evan Nappen 28:59 Yeah. Right. Just apply anything. Or freedom of speech. That’s the other one. Yeah, before you can say or you can do anything. Before you can voice your opinion, you need to. Teddy Nappen 29:11 After getting approved from the Government to speak. Evan Nappen 29:13 Right. Prior approval and taking training courses with licensure. Teddy Nappen 29:20 Well, they already want to do that. Evan Nappen 29:21 So that every right is registered. Teddy Nappen 29:24 Well, you have to have the safety of language, because words are violence. Also silence is violence. It actually kind of reminds me of when I had to do the ethics. Evan Nappen 29:34 Wait, they said that silence is violence? Teddy Nappen 29:36 Oh yeah, that’s the game the Left play. Either. Either you cannot say those things because those are mean. But also, silence is violence. The only logical thing you can do is agree with us. That is their logic, and it’s quite disgusting how they play that game. Evan Nappen 29:54 I like that. Silence is violence. Teddy Nappen 29:56 Silence is violence but also, don’t use hurtful language. Figure that out. It’s a trap. That is the game they play. Evan Nappen 30:01 Why did you shoot that person? Well, because he didn’t say anything and silence is violence. Teddy Nappen 30:06 It honestly reminds me of when we had to do the ethics course for when you’re when you become a attorney. The certification they do. This woman comes up and then says to everyone, everyone on Zoom. By the way, they said to us in the very beginning, no one make comments to the speakers, Page – 9 – of 13 please. We know there’s disagreements, but this must be said. She gets up on the podium and says, you are not a comedian. Do not make jokes. That is offensive. Evan Nappen 30:06 Do not make jokes? Teddy Nappen 30:12 Do not make jokes. And my first thought was, my God, you are the problem with society. Like you can’t make jokes. I’m like, oh, my God. So yeah, but getting back to the. Evan Nappen 30:14 No jokes. Wasn’t that from Zulu? Remember when he was talking? Teddy Nappen 30:55 No, no, no. He says. Evan Nappen 30:56 What did he say in Zulu? Teddy Nappen 30:57 The sergeant, the Sergeant, Sergeant, yes. They say, no comedian. Evan Nappen 31:02 No comedian. Teddy Nappen 31:05 He’s going through like, he’s going through roles. Evan Nappen 31:08 Right. Because they’re getting ready for battle. Teddy Nappen 31:10 After the battle, he says Hicks? You’re alive. Say your name. Oh, I’m alive. Thank you, sir. No comedians. Yeah, I will give this card one thing important that I like. It basically lays the whole groundwork of them chastising the Trump administration for its very pro-gun activities they’ve done throughout the Government. Evan Nappen 31:42 Criticizing President Trump for expanding Second Amendment rights? Okay, so do they make a list or something? Teddy Nappen 31:48 Oh, they made a wonderful list. And I was like. Page – 10 – of 13 Evan Nappen 31:50 Let’s hear all the terrible things President Trump has done in expanding Second Amendment rights. Teddy Nappen 31:55 Cutting $800 million of public safety grants, and $150 million to the violence intervention and prevention programs. Evan Nappen 32:03 Nice. The propaganda arm. Teddy Nappen 32:05 Yeah, all that. And then going after ending the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. You know, all the horrible laws that we’ve been getting in the SAFE offices? Those were created by the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Trump ended that office and then created. Evan Nappen 32:24 That was propaganda office of Biden. Teddy Nappen 32:28 Correct. And he ended that. Also the dealer regulation. This is them saying it. Dealer regulation, gun hardware. Trump has considered many cuts to the ATF and removing core ATF policies for penalizing gun dealers. You know. Evan Nappen 32:43 Those were outrageously bad. Teddy Nappen 32:46 One screw up and you lose your license. Evan Nappen 32:49 Yeah. So, that was great that he got rid of all that. Teddy Nappen 32:53 Gun Violence Research Policy cut hundreds of staff to the CDC and, you know, another propaganda department, pumping out false data and oversaw allocation of research grants, you know, to oh, Bloomberg’s college. Evan Nappen 33:07 Yeah. Because they want to make it a health issue so they can regulate it in that manner. And it’s not a health issue. And yet, they want to put it in that context, so then they can Page – 11 – of 13 Teddy Nappen 33:18 Then the big highlight, which I’m laughing that they actually know about this, the One Big, Beautiful Bill where it removes the tax requirement for gun silencers. They were trying to put a short barreled rifles, sawed off shotguns. I know those two. I don’t I don’t know if those two made it. Evan Nappen 33:35 Any other weapon. Suppressors, any other weapons. And by getting rid of the tax, the idea there is now we’re in litigation that the entire NFA needs to go. And, of course, with success with that lawsuit, where if there is no tax, then it loses its justification for existence. Then we can actually legalize machine guns by way of a simple reconciliation bill where we remove the tax through NFA even on machine guns. That’s how we’ll get the job done. Teddy Nappen 34:10 Take me back four years ago and tell me there would have been a bill put forward to effectively kneecap and shatter the NFA. That is the earth shattering power that this administration has done. Evan Nappen 34:26 And think about this. For the first time since 1934 when this was enacted, we’ve actually been able to take a piece out of it, and the piece has been the actual money that’s been collected. And by the way, there’s been a boom since the tax is gone, in people getting suppressors and getting these other things, even with the law still in effect. I have recently seen that the turnaround time on getting suppressors without having to pay the tax is very quick, as quick as one day. Even electronically, I’ve been hearing. So, it’s very fast turnaround, and it’s being done without having to pay the 200 bucks. Now, of course, if you live in the gun right suppression state of New Jersey, the state still bans silencers. But that’s currently being challenged in court as well. At the moment, you can’t have a suppressor because New Jersey is in favor of gun owners damaging their hearing and making sure that it is as unsafe as possible for any gun owner in terms of hearing protection. But we should see that litigation come to fruition shortly. Anything else on the list that President Trump has done? Teddy Nappen 35:43 Oh, they were going after, of course, the forced reset trigger. They’re trying, oh, yeah, that we’re like. No longer will the ATF come breaking down your door or trying to get, you know, going through and, you know, creating their own work by then saying, oh, it’s fine. And no, it’s not. And then going after innocent people who are making a purchase. It’s the level all these things. I just tell these people. This is as pro-gun as we could possibly get with this administration at the moment. And there’s still more to come, because we’re in the second year. We’re just starting the second year. Evan Nappen 36:21 I know. I know it’s just the beginning of our Christmas gift list of fun. So, it’s great. All right, well, so long as we keep making progress, which we are. But let me tell you about this week’s GOFU, which is, of course, the Gun Owners Fuck Up. And it’s important to know this so that you don’t end up having an expensive lesson learned, where you get to learn it on the cheap. You get to learn it free from the show. So, these are based on actual cases, actual clients, actual real GOFUs that I’ve seen. This week’s GOFU has to do with make sure you know the dates of your gun purchases, because New Jersey has Page – 12 – of 13 one gun a month, right? One handgun within a 30-day period. You can’t get more than that. So, I always look at one gun a month as kind of the gun of the month where you have to buy one every 30 days. But whether or not you want to take that approach or not, the problem is, don’t attempt purchase within the 30 days, even by accident, because it’ll have ramifications. It gets picked up on because of how the system is designed. If you even inadvertently end up in that more than one gun within 30 days, you can have serious problems. So, be very cautious. I’ve even had debates over the counting in terms of hours for the difference. Make sure you have a good buffer in there until we knock that law out as unconstitutional, which it really should be. I don’t want to see you have a GOFU in which the purchase within the 30 days triggers an escalation to seizure, revocation and possible criminal charges. The whole nine yards coming down on your head. Keep the count of days accurate and clear. Evan Nappen 37:07 This is Evan Nappen and Teddy Nappen reminding you that gun laws don’t protect honest citizens from criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.

Former Texas law-enforcement officer Matt Parrish uprooted his family and moved to Washington's Olympic Peninsula—never imagining he would spend the next four and a half years living alongside something he once dismissed as legend. He recalls the night everything changed: eerie whistles drifting in through the window, massive footprints pressed into the soil around the house, objects striking the exterior walls, and a Ring camera clip that erased any lingering doubt. Over time, Matt describes an uneasy but evolving relationship with the beings the local Quinault people call the Siatco—a progression from fear and confusion to an uncanny form of coexistence on an isolated property bordered by rivers, elk trails, and dense rainforest. His account includes gifting interactions, hair impressions, window encounters, and even a close, face-to-face moment with a pair of glowing red eyes at three in the morning.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a weekend multiple shooting in Kansas.

Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope. The average life expectancy for American law enforcement officers is just 57 years, a stark contrast to the general population's 78 to 79 years. Behind that number lies a sobering reality: a career spent protecting others often comes at the expense of one's own health. This special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and many other podcast platforms. Heart disease, chronic stress, trauma, and the relentless demands of the badge all play a role. “Many officers only live a few years into retirement,” says John Jay Wiley, host of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. “That's not just a statistic, it's a tragedy that reflects the immense pressure these men and women endure.” Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In this Special Episode, available on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Apple, Spotify, and Radio, Wiley welcomes Eric Caron, a retired U.S. Special Agent and Diplomat, to discuss the unseen toll of the job, and the urgent need to protect the mental and physical well-being of those who protect us. Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The Hidden Cost of the Badge, Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope. Officers face risks that go beyond the dangers of the streets. Studies show that law enforcement professionals have: A much higher rate of heart disease, with heart attacks often striking as early as age 46, compared to 65 in the general population. Elevated risks of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, conditions tied directly to chronic stress and irregular shift work. Shorter retirements, with many officers passing away just a few years after leaving the job. “It's not just the stress of one bad day,” Wiley explains. “It's the accumulation of hundreds of critical incidents over a career, what we call death by a thousand cuts.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The Psychological Battle Caron, who spent years investigating child pornography and sex crimes, describes the haunting reality of prolonged exposure to such cases. “When you're staring into that darkness every day, it leaves a mark,” he says. “You see the worst of humanity, and it takes discipline and community to not let that darkness consume you.” Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope. According to research, trauma in law enforcement leads to alarmingly high rates of PTSD, depression, and anxiety: PTSD rates among police officers reach as high as 35%*, compared to 6.8% in the general population. Officers are far more likely to experience emotional numbing, hyperarousal, and flashbacks from traumatic events. Many suffer from compassion fatigue**, a type of emotional burnout caused by repeated exposure to tragedy and human suffering. Caron explains that repeated exposure to graphic violence and child exploitation can cause what psychologists call traumatic layering. “It's not one event, it's hundreds,” he says. “Each one leaves a scar.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The Ripple Effects The consequences of trauma ripple through every aspect of an officer's life: Emotional strain often leads to relationship issues and isolation. Negative coping mechanisms, like alcohol or substance use, are far too common. Cognitive impairment from chronic stress affects memory, judgment, and performance on duty. Physical health problems such as high blood pressure, gastrointestinal issues, and cardiovascular disease frequently follow. “Every case, every call, adds another layer,” Wiley says. “And too often, we lose great people not in the line of duty, but to the silent battles they fight afterward.” Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope.  The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Mike Lomas and Mike Sperrazza are back on The Financial Guys Podcast tackling New York's push toward an all-electric future—and what they call the disastrous consequences that come with it. From looming infrastructure failures and skyrocketing energy costs to the environmental realities behind batteries, wind, and solar, the Mikes break down why the state's “green” policies may be anything but. They also dive into soft-on-crime policies, manipulated crime stats, and how declining law enforcement support is impacting communities across the country.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports California bans most law enforcement officers from wearing masks during operations.

Hosts: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer Guest: Marian Cosgrove - Army Veteran and Law Enforcement Officer Episode Overview: In this deeply honest and powerful episode, hosts Jennifer and Ashlee sit down with Marian Cosgrove, an Army veteran, long-serving law enforcement officer, and survivor, to talk about substance abuse among first responders. Marian shares her personal journey from childhood trauma, through years of high-functioning alcoholism, to eventual recovery. She discusses the cultural normalization of substance use in law enforcement, the challenges of recognizing when coping has become addiction, and the importance of self-reflection and support. Marian opens up about the root causes of her substance abuse, the process of self-honesty, hitting rock bottom, and the life-changing role of therapy and 12-step programs in her recovery. The conversation also touches on the impact of unresolved pain from childhood, why coping mechanisms develop, and how compartmentalization can be both protective and harmful. Key Topics Covered The Hidden Prevalence of Substance Use:  Why substance abuse is so common among first responders and how drinking becomes normalized as a way to cope with trauma and emotional suppression. Marian’s Story: From a significant childhood trauma (including her struggle to be heard and believed), to coping with discomfort through alcohol use, Marian details how her journey diverged into high-achievement while battling feelings of being an outsider and never quite fitting in. Where is the Line?: We explore the blurry line between social drinking and alcoholism, and how it’s not always clear. Especially for high-functioning individuals. Self-reflection and honesty are critical. Compartmentalization and Childhood Impact: The conversation emphasizes how early experiences and learned coping tactics can shape adult behaviors, especially in high-stress careers. Functional Alcoholism & Progression: Marian describes how her drinking escalated slowly over decades, how she rationalized her habits, and how the "incremental elevator" of standards slides over time. Reaching Out and Support: After her life spiraled, Marian sought help through a treatment program and AA, acknowledging the difficulty and necessity of vulnerability and community among those with lived experience. Changing Coping Mechanisms: Using the concept of “neuro-bypasses” (habitual pathways in the brain), Marian explains how long-term coping with substances becomes deeply ingrained, and how therapy and group support helped her forge new habits. Impact on Family & Children: The group discusses how first responder stress and substance use can affect families, particularly children who may internalize emotional disconnection at home. Advice for Listeners: Marian encourages anyone struggling with substance abuse to reach out, listen to others’ stories, seek both peer and professional support, and understand that recovery is possible.   If this episode resonated with you or if you have stories to share about living with a first responder, reach out to Ashlee and Jennifer on their social media platforms!   Thank you for tuning in!

Florida Deputy Arrested, Was It Fair? A Family's Fight in Court and Beyond. When David was sworn in as a Deputy for the Marion County Sheriff's Office in Florida, it felt like the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Coming from a long family line of police officers, law enforcement wasn't just a career option, it was a calling. “He wanted this more than anything,” recalls his wife, Dr. Svetlana ‘Lana' Kirchevshy-Ur, a doctor who was completing her medical residency in Gainesville at the time. “It was a dream he worked hard to achieve, even later in life.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Is he an ex Law Enforcement Officer, or a former Law Enforcement Officer, you get to decide. An "ex" Law Enforcement Officer is someone who was fired, or resigned under duress and left in less than honorable conditions. He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. But that dream quickly unraveled. Less than a year after his first patrol assignment, David was accused of making “false reports.” On May 10, 2021, he resigned “under duress” after being threatened with criminal charges. Two days later, those threats materialized. David was arrested on four counts of making false official statements, charges that his wife insists were groundless. “There were no allegations of any crime committed by my husband,” they said. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The Fight in Court The legal ordeal stretched on for years. “The State Attorney's Office kept refiling and changing charges,” they explained. “But in the end, 18 of the 20 charges were dismissed by a judge, and the last two were dropped.” Florida Deputy Arrested, Was It Fair? A Family's Fight in Court and Beyond. Despite being cleared, the damage was lasting. David was placed on the Fifth Circuit State Attorney's Brady list, a designation meant to flag law enforcement officers with potential credibility issues. For David, this was devastating. Inclusion on the Brady list effectively barred him from ever working in law enforcement again. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Local news outlets, including the Ocala Gazette, questioned whether the Brady list was being applied fairly. A 2024 article noted inconsistencies, pointing out that some officers with internal dishonesty findings weren't listed, while others landed on the list for what appeared to be minor procedural issues. “For my husband, the Brady list isn't just a bureaucratic footnote, it's a career-ending label,” Lana said. A Story Shared on Podcasts and Social Media David and Lana's story is now being told through The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, where David shares his ordeal in his own words. The episode is streaming free on their website, as well as on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other major podcast platforms.

Forced to leave their life in Ocala behind, they relocated to Palm Coast, Florida. While still pursuing the fight in court against the Marion County Sheriff's Office, the couple also found a way to start anew. Together, they launched Rustic Dough Works, a pizza trailer that quickly became a local favorite. Still, the legal battle continues. David has filed lawsuits against the sheriff's office and remains determined to restore his name. “We believe in accountability,” Lana said. “People need to know our story, because what happened to David could happen to others.” Florida Deputy Arrested, Was It Fair?

The Las Vegas Police Gun fights and Trauma He Barely Survived, His story, Books and Organization. What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas,” says Randy Sutton, a man whose career with The Las Vegas Police was marked by heroism, split-second decisions, and more than a few brushes with death. Sutton, a retired Lieutenant with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) and a 34-year veteran of law enforcement, recently returned to the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast to share his story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. Before joining the LVMPD, Sutton spent a decade with the Princeton, New Jersey Police Department. But it was his 24 years in Las Vegas, a city that never sleeps, that tested his courage and resilience in ways few can imagine. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “There were multiple gun fights in my career, but one in particular stands out,” Sutton recalls in the interview. The incident involved an armed suspect wielding both a gun and edged weapons. “It could have easily cost me my life, for more reasons than one,” he says. The Las Vegas Police Gun fights and Trauma He Barely Survived, His story, Books and Organization. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . That night turned into a nightmare of chaos, numerous shots fired by police and the suspect, a departmental vehicle crash, and a desperate effort to avoid getting hit. “I remember thinking, just keep moving, just keep breathing,” he says. The trauma from that moment, combined with other dangerous encounters over his decades of service, would later shape his mission to help other officers. Sutton's survival wasn't just luck, it was training, instinct, and sheer will. But the emotional scars lingered. “When you've been in that situation, when you've seen the worst of humanity and survived, you can't just go back to normal,” he says. That understanding led him to found The Wounded Blue, a National Assistance and Support Organization for Injured and Disabled Law Enforcement Officers. “Our mission is simple, make sure these heroes are never forgotten and never alone,” Sutton explains. Through support, education, assistance, and legislative advocacy, The Wounded Blue helps officers and their families navigate both physical injuries and the hidden wounds of trauma.

Another of his works, True Blue, is a compilation of stories from officers nationwide, accounts of gun fights, murder investigations, missing children, car chases, and the life-altering events of September 11, 2001. “These stories are about more than law enforcement, they're about humanity, resilience, and sacrifice,” Sutton says.

As a nationally known media commentator and one of the most highly decorated officers in LVMPD history, with awards for Valor, Community Service, and multiple Lifesaving honors, Sutton's voice carries weight. But it's his vulnerability in speaking about trauma that resonates most. His story isn't just one of survival; it's a call to action. “I barely survived that night,” he says of the gun fight that could have ended his life. “But I'm here, and I owe it to those who didn't make it home to keep fighting, this time, for them.” You can follow Randy Sutton and The Wounded Blue on their website, their Facebook and Instagram, or listen to the full interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast's website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms.

Born and raised in southeastern Wisconsin, Chad Stillman was introduced to sports and the outdoors at a young age.  Growing up, if you couldn't find him on the soccer or football field, chances are he was in the woods or on the water. Those two passions would lead to a stint as a semi-pro kicker for the Racine Raiders and a cameraman for Bowhunting.com. By 22 years old, he was fresh out a college, a homeowner and embarking on his lifelong dream of working in law enforcement. Quickly moving up in the ranks, he received a promotion to the SWAT Team and ultimately settled in as an FBI Task Force Investigator. To warn our audience, this isn't an easy conversation to listen to as Chad takes us on the emotional journey of his story. Struggling at times to share it here, he details the events of January 17, 2018, a day that changed his life and the lives of others forever. 7 years later and battling with PTSD from the events of that evening, he gives credit to time in the outdoors, the support of friends and family, but most notably his faith, for sustaining him when the pressures of life are too much.     www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.murrelloptics.com www.jumpmedic.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- At a press conference from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump awarded the Medal of Sacrifice—honoring law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty and their families. President Trump was joined by Congressmen Byron Donalds and Brian Mast. 5:15pm- On Sunday night, the House Budget Committee successfully advanced a Republican tax and spending bill through the committee vote—with the final vote being 17-16 in favor.

The House Rules Committee is expected to take up the legislation later this week. Congressmen Ralph Norman, Andrew Clyde, Josh Brecheen, and Chip Roy voted “present” which allowed the bill to move forward. 5:30pm- While delivering the commencement address at the University of Minnesota, Governor Tim Walz claimed ICE agents are the “modern day Gestapo.” 5:40pm- Rich is in studio today—and he received a love letter from a fan! Ok…so maybe it was more like a hate letter. PLUS: while appearing on Andrew Schultz's podcast, Sen.
