In this episode, we're joined by Casey Maxted—a man whose resume reads like an adventure novel. From his roots growing up on an Iowa farm to serving as a Green Beret in the U.S. Special Forces and later as an FBI agent tackling violent crime and counterterrorism, Casey has seen it all. But his story doesn't stop there. He's now channeling his experience and passion into entrepreneurship, running multiple businesses including Cold Zero Whiskey and Pillars of Valor Coffee, and, most notably, serving as Director of Operations at Warrior Rising, a nonprofit helping veterans find purpose through business ownership.Sawyer and Tork dig deep with Casey about his journey—exploring the sacrifices, camaraderie, and lessons learned along the way. Casey opens up about the transitions between his high-intensity careers, his candid reflections on team building and leadership, and why helping others—especially veterans and law enforcement—drives him. They also get into his family life, how growing up on a farm shaped his work ethic, and how he balances multiple projects with being an engaged dad.Of course, there's plenty of talk about whiskey (including some live tasting!), entrepreneurship, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. Whether you're a veteran, a business owner, or just someone looking for a bit of inspiration and wisdom, Casey's story is packed with insights and heart.

What if I told you that the next school shooting is already being planned right now? That the killer is broadcasting his intentions on social media and no one is stopping it? This week I sat down with Zeev Fragachan, a former IDF officer, school security expert, and fierce advocate for protecting America's children, to ask the questions that nobody wants to answer. But we must. Why has the United States experienced over 2,000 school shootings since Columbine, while countries like Israel report zero? Are social media platforms fueling school shooters, or could they be our best chance to stop them?Zeev breaks down the psychological profile of a school shooter. It's not always mental illness. It's something more dangerous. We dive into what happened in Uvalde, Parkland, and the chilling failures of law enforcement, but we don't stop there. We go global to the rise of terrorism, 3D-printed guns, digital radicalization inside Roblox and Minecraft, and even Kanye's anti-Semitic lyrics infecting America's youth.This is a call to arms for parents, lawmakers, and every adult in America, because the next future day could be one we never recover from.

Guest: Stephen Wooten, ResearcherAs a parent, there's nothing more important than making sure your child is safe—especially when severe weather threatens their school day. Whether it's the decision to delay, dismiss early, or shelter in place, we rely on school officials to make the right call. But as any parent knows, those decisions aren't always black and white. Should schools be more cautious, or are they sometimes too quick to pull the trigger? And how much say should parents have in the process, if at all? Today on the show, we're chatting with Stephen Wooten, a researcher who has been studying how parents feel about the tough calls schools have to make. As both a Weather Geek and a parent, this conversation hits close to home.Chapters00:00 The Importance of Weather Decisions for Schools02:49 Understanding Parental Perspectives on School Weather Protocols06:07 Research Methodology: Gathering Insights from Parents08:59 Key Findings: Preferences for Early Dismissals11:54 Infrastructure and Safety: Parents' Concerns14:51 Communication: Building Trust Between Schools and Parents17:57 The Role of Social Media in Weather Communication20:55 Future Directions: Enhancing School Weather Protocols23:57 Conclusion: Balancing Safety and Parental PreferencesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

WMAL GUEST: 8:05 AM - INTERVIEW - GEARY HIGGINS - Delegate, Virginia House of Delegates – Recapped this legislative session, his legislative priorities and what’s next SOCIAL MEDIA: https://x.com/GearyHiggins ABOUT THIS SESSION OF THE VA GENERAL ASSEMBLY On the evening of Feb. 22, the Virginia General Assembly adjourned after a short, 45-day session. The session got off to a rocky start after a winter storm and power outage disrupted the water supply system in Richmond and the surrounding area, delaying the start to the session. In the beginning of the session there were nearly 2,000 bills introduced. Of those, roughly 900 are headed to the desk of Gov. Glenn Youngkin. He now has until March 24 to sign, amend or veto each of these bills. After he has done that, the general assembly will return to Richmond on April 2 to vote on the governor’s actions. The bills that the governor and both chambers agree to then become law on July 1. GEARY’S BILLS: More than 150 bills sponsored by Republicans were never given a hearing at all, including 5 of Geary’s bills – Banning Sanctuary Cities, Parent’s Bill Rights, School Safety, etc. Dems did however hear and pass a bunch of absurd bills that the Governor already vetoed last year. JAMES MONROE’S HOME: Geary is working very hard on getting James Monroe’s home, “Oak Hill”, which is in his district in Loudoun, to be a State Park. This would be huge for the Commonwealth and Nova specifically. Might be a good question to ask “Did the Democrats fail on getting this in the budget?” CBS: A plan to make James Monroe's Virginia estate a state park was rejected. Now, it's in limbo.

In this episode of The Valley Today - Public Safety Thursday - host Janet Michael sat down with Captain Warren Gosnell of the Frederick County Sheriff's Office to discuss public safety, impaired driving, and the multifaceted responsibilities of local law enforcement. The pre-recorded session offered listeners a unique glimpse into both the operational and emotional aspects of law enforcement. Captain Gosnell, or ‘Goz,' is renowned for his dedication to public safety, particularly in the realm of impaired driving enforcement. The discussion opened with an overview of Goz's participation in an advanced DUI and DUID (Driving Under the Influence of Drugs) class in Williamsburg, where he educates law enforcement officers and prosecutors on the complexities of impaired driving cases. “It's not just about the investigation; it's about ensuring these cases are successfully prosecuted,” Goz emphasized. The conversation took on a poignant note as Goz shared his personal connection to the issue, having grown up with an alcoholic father. He fervently argued that impaired drivers deserve a chance to overcome their addictions, yet underscored the devastating impact of impaired driving on innocent victims. “What if it's not the impaired person who perished in the crash?” he asked solemnly. Janet and Goz explored the perceptions surrounding impaired driving incidents, discussing the misconception that impaired drivers often walk away unscathed from accidents. Goz debunked this myth, explaining the psychological bias that leads people to remember these instances more vividly. Beyond impaired driving, Goz delved into the comprehensive structure of the Frederick County Sheriff's Office, revealing an intricate web of divisions, including Criminal Investigations, Civil Process, School Safety, Administrative, and Special Operations. Each division plays a pivotal role in maintaining public safety, from serving eviction notices to running SWAT and search-and-rescue operations. Janet highlighted the community's frequent interactions with law enforcement, often through traffic stops or emergency calls. Goz addressed the perception of law enforcement, stressing the importance of understanding the broader scope of their duties and responsibilities. Special attention was given to the importance of teamwork between law enforcement and prosecutors. Goz detailed how officers must gather evidence meticulously to aid in the successful prosecution of cases, likening it to a well-coordinated effort between waitstaff and chefs in a restaurant. As the conversation drew to a close, Janet and Goz touched on the everyday challenges and triumphs faced by law enforcement officers. Goz reflected on his career with a mix of humility and pride, reaffirming his commitment to public safety and the continuous fight against impaired driving. In an era where public perception of law enforcement can be polarized, this dialogue served as a heartfelt reminder of the dedication and humanity of those tasked with keeping our communities safe. Janet and Goz's candid conversation offered a rare, thoughtful perspective that resonated deeply with listeners.

On this week's second edition of Political Breakfast, we focus on Governor Brian Kemp's highest legislative priority this session: Tort reform. Kemp has been pushing the issue for years, and believes that the laws on our books make it too easy to bring "frivolous lawsuits against Georgia business owners." He's said excessive civil litigation drives up the price of insurance, and stops job growth in communities that need them the most. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson are paying close attention, to an issue that host Lisa Rayam asks, is the average Georgian aware of? Plus, school safety is another priority being taken-up under the Gold Dome. That's following the deadly mass shooting last year at Apalachee High School.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Jadine Chou to the Restorative Works! Podcast. Jadine joins us to discuss the importance of relationships in defining safety in schools. From morning greetings by security staff to hallway interactions with teachers, she explains how simple, consistent actions build trust and make students feel valued. Through proactive measures like these, Chicago Public Schools has significantly reduced incidents of misconduct and disciplinary actions. Jadine describes how restorative practices have shaped safety and discipline methods, including the use of peace rooms and structured conversations to resolve conflicts and restore harm. She emphasizes the importance of proper training for facilitators and the need for a culture shift from punitive approaches to solutions based in restorative practices. Claire and Jadine also discuss the critical role of self-regulation for adults working with students. Jadine shares compelling stories of students and staff navigating tense situations and underscores the importance of calm and empathy in fostering safe, supportive environments.
