The Dawn Stensland Show breaks down the chilling investigation into 44-year-old Eugene Albert Horsch after his arrest in Center City. We welcome Sergeant Mark Fuzetti to the show to unpack the horrific discoveries made by law enforcement inside an Olney home, including zip ties, notes referencing serial killers, and chemicals meant to dissolve human remains. Fuzetti tracks the latest on the lab testing and shares details regarding how a routine traffic stop by federal park rangers blew the case wide open. Dawn targets the ongoing environmental crisis hitting local vacationers as fecal bacteria alerts completely shut down multiple South Jersey beaches. We react to the massive financial strain facing local families who are paying thousands of dollars a week for rentals only to find swimming advisories blocking the ocean water. The crew looks at the heavy rainfall rates causing sewage overflows and discusses the gross reality of local waterways this summer. We transition to the media world as Dawn critiques Kellyanne Conway's recent performance filling in on Fox News for Sean Hannity. The crew reacts to the difficulties of reading a teleprompter and explains why the show's signature snarky writing fell flat. Finally, Dawn highlights Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman's aggressive remarks targeting a controversial Maine Senate candidate, demanding that national leaders hold the line.

Guest: Clive Woodward Estcourt NZ391045, Pilot, Bomb Aimer (14th of October 1917 – 17th of Aug 2017 ) Host: Dave Homewood Recorded: ‎13th of August 2013 Released: 9th of August 2026 Duration: 2 hour 33 minutes 11 seconds Clive Estcourt had been a commercial artist and signwriter in Hamilton in 1939 when the war broke out, and he immediately volunteered to join the Royal New Zealand Air Force. He was sent to the newly-opened RNZAF Station Ohakea in the Manawatu region, and became one of the very first airmen posted into that base after it opened on the 18th of September 1939. He thought when he first joined that he was going to fly aeroplanes…. they made him the station postman! He soon was sidelined to become Ohakea’s station signwriter. He was able to set up his own workshop to make all the signs on the ever-expanding station. But he was still wanting to become a pilot however, and eventually in 1942 he managed to convince the RNZAF to post him to an aircrew course, starting at RNZAF Station Rotorua for his Initial Training Wing course. He then underwent flying training on Tiger Moths at No. 3 Elementary Flying Training School, at RNZAF Station Harewood. He was then sent to Canada to continue his training in October 1942, where he continued training at RCAF Dunnville flying Harvards. But this training did not go well, and he ended up getting getting the chop from the course. Clive was remustered to Observer trade, and completed his training in Canada, before being sent to Britain where he crewed up at No. 11 Operational Training Unit, Westcott. Clive suffered a severe mishap at the OTU and was forced to bail out, which he details, and was forced to do the course again. He was then posted to No. 75 (NZ) Squadron with his almost all-New Zealand crew, consisting of: Captain – Pilot Officer John Rees “Aussie” Layton DFC, RNZAF (NZ425914) Navigator – Flight Sergeant John Christie, RNZAF (NZ4212829), aka Jack, aka BenAir Bomber – Warrant Officer Clive Woodward Estcourt, RNZAF (NZ391045)Wireless Operator/Air Gunner – Flight Sergeant Ta Tio Tuaine “Tai” Nicholas, RNZAF (NZ425658) Mid-Upper Gunner – Flight Sergeant David Onslow Light, RNZAF (NZ4212848)Rear Gunner – Flight Sergeant Leslie Dixon Moore, RNZAF (NZ421327)Flight Engineer – Sergeant F. Samuel, RAFVR After one and a half months at RAF Mepal with the New Zealand squadron, Clive and his crew were selected to be posted from No. 75 (NZ) Squadron to No. 7 Squadron Pathfinder Force at RAF Oakington. They were on Pathfinder operations from October 1944 through till February 1945. During the tour with No. 7 Squadron PFF, the Navigator John Christie was badly injured in a motorcycle accident and he was replaced by:Navigator – Sergeant. Lloyd Edward Anger, RCAF (R200903) However, due to a non-operational error by the captain when he failed to turn up for a briefing, the strict command chain in PFF saw the crew sent back to No. 75 (NZ) Squadron without completing the PFF tour. This included Lloyd Anger who stayed with the crew. They carried on with the New Zealand squadron through February and March 1945 till the original members of the crew were tour expired. Clive completed 36 operational sorties over enemy territory in total, plus several other OTU flights close to enemy territory as well where they were creating a diversion to confuse German defences. Once he completed operational flying he became an instructor at No. 17 Operational Training Unit at Silverstone and Turweston. Postwar, Clive returned to New Zealand and was a member of a Light Anti-Aircraft unit in the Territorial Air Force in Auckland, before becoming the Adjutant of No. 7 Squadron Air Training Corps in Hamilton for 17 years. He was very active in the RNZAF Association, and as a special associate member of the Mess at RNZAF Te Rapa, Hamilton, till its closure. Clive was one of the New Zealand Bomber Command veterans who was selected to be flown to London for the unveiling of the Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park, on the 28th of June 2012. He was the oldest veteran in the New Zealand party, aged 95. Clive passed away on the 17th of Aug 2017, two months before his 100th birthday.

Decades ago, Zig Ziglar's "See You At The Top" taught me something I didn't know was possible: leaders who actually care about the people working for them. Not long after, I became a Sergeant in the Army and had to decide whether I'd lead the way I'd been led, or do something different.In this episode, I walk through that decision, why people stay with employers who treat them well even when the pay is better elsewhere, and how this same belief is shaping the way I'm building DaliTalks as I grow toward hiring my own team one day.Connect with me at DaliTalks.com or @DaliTalks on Instagram and LinkedIn.Learn more about Dali and DaliTalks at https://www.DaliTalks.com/LinkTree

A viral video out of Central Park has sparked intense debate after an NYPD Sergeant appeared to lose his composure during an encounter with activist and First Amendment advocate Raul Rivera. Did the Sergeant simply have a bad moment under pressure, or did he cross a professional line while dealing with a citizen exercising a constitutional right? Retired NYPD Lieutenant John Macari and co-host Marlon Bethel break down the viral footage, discuss the realities of policing in the social media era, and examine what officers can learn from high-profile public encounters that instantly become national news. In the first half of the show, we're joined by Stephanie Liggio, author of Set The Standard, a guide designed to help candidates, campaign teams, and engaged citizens become more active participants in the election process. We'll discuss how voters can become more informed and involved in local, county, state, and federal elections, and why civic engagement matters now more than ever. We also analyze the results and political implications of New York's Democratic Primary and what the outcomes could mean for the future of New York City and New York State. Topics Include: Viral NYPD Sergeant vs. Raul Rivera confrontation First Amendment rights and public accountability Police professionalism under pressure Lessons for law enforcement leadership Stephanie Liggio's Set The Standard Civic engagement and voter participation New York Democratic Primary results and analysis The future political landscape of NYC Let us know in the comments: Did this NYPD Sergeant cross the line, or was the criticism unfair? ️ NEW YORK'S FINEST: RETIRED & UNFILTERED Subscribe for uncensored conversations on policing, politics, public safety, and current events.

In this gripping second installment, the Tall Boy Radio studio welcomes back a true titan of law enforcement history: Retired Lt. Cmdr. Vernon Geberth. Hosts Beans and Gaz dive deep into the formative years of the man who literally wrote the book on homicide investigation.This episode takes us back to the gritty streets of Queens, where a young Geberth found himself at a professional crossroads. Despite a record that spoke for itself, Vernon opens up about the sting of being passed over for promotion to Sergeant by a biased superior—a setback that only served to fuel his relentless drive to tackle the borough's most dangerous elements.The Misfire Miracle: In perhaps the most chilling moment of the interview, Vernon recounts a face-to-face encounter with a perpetrator that should have been his last. With a gun pressed against him and the trigger pulled, he discusses how a mechanical failure—a faulty firing pin—reinforced his unwavering faith in God and kept him in the fight.The Urban War: Geberth provides a raw, boots-on-the-ground perspective of the 1970s conflict with the Black Liberation Army, describing an era of policing that felt less like a job and more like a domestic insurgency.Taking Down Giants: From high-speed car chases through the narrow corridors of New York to the physical reality of subduing 6'8" villains, Vernon shares the adrenaline-fueled reality of street crime enforcement.Mafiosi and Murderers: We hear the stories of arresting made men and navigating the complex social hierarchies of the Queens underworld, where the stakes were always life and death.This isn't just a collection of "cop stories." It's a masterclass in resilience, faith, and integrity. Vernon Geberth discusses how he maintained his moral compass while operating in a world of extreme violence and systemic bias. Whether you are a true crime aficionado, a student of history, or someone looking for a story about overcoming professional adversity, this conversation delivers."I wasn't just fighting the guys on the street; sometimes I was fighting the guys behind the desks. But I knew my purpose." — Lt. Cmdr. Vernon GeberthGrab a cold one, settle in, and listen to a legend recount the wars he won before he ever became the 'Master of Homicide.'You can buy Vernon's book hereTHE GODFATHER OF HOMICIDE SECOND EDITION: VERNON J.

Sergeant Joe Giacalone LIVE On LI in the AM w/ Jay Oliver by JVC Broadcasting

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of violence and trauma that may be triggering for listeners with PTSD or related experiences. Listener discretion is strongly advised.This is the conclusion of the story of Andrew Mclean who spent 18 years as a police constable with the Waterloo Regional Police Service, after starting his career as a news reporter. He served three years as a Detective in the General Investigations Unit, leading major cases involving shootings, stabbings, armed robberies, and gang‑related violence. On front‑line patrol, he stepped into the role of acting Sergeant and coached new recruits entering the job he once loved.In May 2021, the weight of everything he had seen — and everything he had carried alone — finally broke through. Andrew was diagnosed with Post‑Traumatic Stress Disorder and has been off duty since. During that time, he wrote a book about his descent into PTSD and the long climb back, becoming an advocate for emergency‑service mental health and the people who are still silently drowning inside the uniform.If you heard Part 1, you know Andrew's story began with a collapse — a moment where the job, the pressure, and the untreated PTSD finally broke through. But the break isn't the whole story. Part 2 is about the climb back.This is where we look at the recovery, the counseling, the medication, and the support he finally received and also the parts of the system that tried to smooth it over. Because whitewashing doesn't happen in the crisis — it happens in the cleanup. It happens when institutions try to make the story look cleaner than it really was.Andrew Lorne McLeanWebsite: beaten-black-and-blue.com/beaten-black-blueBook: https://www.amazon.ca/Beaten-Black-Blue-Journey-Light-ebook/dp/B0F5BMPPN3Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andrew.mclean.90410Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beaten_black_and_blue_bookOTR Sites:Podcast Website: https://bobadleman.wixsite.com/otrmentalhealthBlog: https://realplus.bearblog.dev/otr-lies-from-the-tablecloth/Public Square Community Ko-Fi.com/otrachieving Mail: OvertheRainbowbob@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/otrachievingmentalhealhfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/over_the_rainbow_achievingX: https://twitter.com/overtherain1bowYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChEYTddPDUaiZbFliit1r5QLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-adleman/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podder - https://www.podderapp.com/privacy-policyPodtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp

What happens when a career-ending injury is followed by years of failed treatments, multiple surgeries, and no clear answers? In this episode, Sergeant of Investigations, Tim Putney, shares his journey through chronic pain after an on-duty injury nearly ended his law enforcement career and sent him on a years-long search for answers. What began as a single on-duty injury became a years-long road marked by chronic back pain, failed spine surgeries, a spinal cord stimulator, workers' compensation battles, and dead ends. Joining the conversation is VSI spine surgeon Dr. Ehsan Jazini, who discusses why some patients continue to struggle with pain despite previous treatments and spine surgeries, what is often missed in complex cases, and how the right diagnosis can uncover solutions that others may have overlooked. Together, they explore: Failed back surgery and persistent pain The impact of chronic pain on mental health Challenges first responders face after injury Modern spine treatments and recovery advancements Why getting the right diagnosis matters Released during Men's Health Month, this episode highlights a challenge many men face but rarely discuss openly: chronic pain impacts far more than physical health. It can affect identity, relationships, mental health, and the ability to do the things that matter most. Most importantly, Tim shares how he was able to return to the life he thought he'd lost—including walking his daughter down the aisle. If you've been told to "just live with it," this conversation offers something many patients desperately need to hear: you may not be out of options.

This week I'm reading from Richard Lang's book 'UAP Incidents First Responders Guide: POLICE - EMS - FD' UFO/UAP Enigma Is Real - Now more than ever it is becoming clear to the general public that UFO/UAP enigma is real. After years of secrecy the truth is finally coming out about vehicles of non-human origin that have visited here, some that have crashed here, and non-human entities both dead and alive that have been recovered. UAP Incident Preparedness for First Responders - Just as officers were once trained in hazardous materials recognition and counterterrorism preparedness, UAP Incident Preparedness will hopefully become a necessary component of public safety operations and training. Law enforcement officers are uniquely vulnerable to UAP encounters due to the isolated and unpredictable nature of patrol work. Therefore, it stands to reason that sheriff's offices, police departments, fire departments and EMS rescue squads would now want their people properly trained to understand this phenomenon, to at least know a little bit about the history of it and most importantly from a personal safety perspective, know what to do and not do if they ever encounter such a situation. Bio Ufologist - Researcher - Investigator - Author - Speaker Richard Lang was an FAA Licensed Commercial Pilot with an Instrument, Multi Engine Rating for over thirty years. He has a bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Studies and an Associate's Degree in Aviation Management from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. Mr. Lang enjoyed a successful career for more than 20 years in the corporate banking world as a Senior Vice President working in Brokerage and the Trust Investment Division of Commercial Banks, which afforded him personal time off and sufficient income to explore a lifelong interest in UFO/UAP research. MUFON STAR TEAM While employed in the corporate banking world during the 1990s, Richard joined the UFO organization known as MUFON and was certified as a Field Investigator; he eventually was appointed as Chief Investigator for MUFON in both Virginia and North Carolina. He was one of the original six members of the elite MUFON STAR team where he functioned as coordinator and the first manager of the team. Virginia Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) Richard attained registration as a Private Investigator and Personal Protection Specialist with DCJS in 2000 and he worked part time for a private investigation firm in Charlottesville doing surveillance and investigation. In 2002, Lang graduated from the Police Academy and certified as a sworn law enforcement officer in Virginia as a Reserve Deputy for the Albemarle County Sheriff's Office, primarily providing volunteer community service on weekends and evenings which he really enjoyed. During this time, he received certification from the Virginia Department of Emergency Services as a Search-Rescue Field Team Leader and was certified as a Weapons of Mass Destruction Responder from the US Department of Justice. Federal Law Enforcement In the post 911 period Mr. Lang left his banking career to serve as a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) at the rank of Sergeant in Virginia airports.

Each Monday on Idaho Matters, we'll bring you a snapshot of a small corner of our Capital City and its unique past and today we head to Sergeant City!

This week I'm talking to Richard Lang about his book 'UAP Incidents First Responders Guide: POLICE - EMS - FD' UFO/UAP Enigma Is Real - Now more than ever it is becoming clear to the general public that UFO/UAP enigma is real. After years of secrecy the truth is finally coming out about vehicles of non-human origin that have visited here, some that have crashed here, and non-human entities both dead and alive that have been recovered. UAP Incident Preparedness for First Responders - Just as officers were once trained in hazardous materials recognition and counterterrorism preparedness, UAP Incident Preparedness will hopefully become a necessary component of public safety operations and training. Law enforcement officers are uniquely vulnerable to UAP encounters due to the isolated and unpredictable nature of patrol work. Therefore, it stands to reason that sheriff's offices, police departments, fire departments and EMS rescue squads would now want their people properly trained to understand this phenomenon, to at least know a little bit about the history of it and most importantly from a personal safety perspective, know what to do and not do if they ever encounter such a situation. Bio Ufologist - Researcher - Investigator - Author - Speaker Richard Lang was an FAA Licensed Commercial Pilot with an Instrument, Multi Engine Rating for over thirty years. He has a bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Studies and an Associate's Degree in Aviation Management from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. Mr. Lang enjoyed a successful career for more than 20 years in the corporate banking world as a Senior Vice President working in Brokerage and the Trust Investment Division of Commercial Banks, which afforded him personal time off and sufficient income to explore a lifelong interest in UFO/UAP research. MUFON STAR TEAM While employed in the corporate banking world during the 1990s, Richard joined the UFO organization known as MUFON and was certified as a Field Investigator; he eventually was appointed as Chief Investigator for MUFON in both Virginia and North Carolina. He was one of the original six members of the elite MUFON STAR team where he functioned as coordinator and the first manager of the team. Virginia Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) Richard attained registration as a Private Investigator and Personal Protection Specialist with DCJS in 2000 and he worked part time for a private investigation firm in Charlottesville doing surveillance and investigation. In 2002, Lang graduated from the Police Academy and certified as a sworn law enforcement officer in Virginia as a Reserve Deputy for the Albemarle County Sheriff's Office, primarily providing volunteer community service on weekends and evenings which he really enjoyed. During this time, he received certification from the Virginia Department of Emergency Services as a Search-Rescue Field Team Leader and was certified as a Weapons of Mass Destruction Responder from the US Department of Justice. Federal Law Enforcement In the post 911 period Mr. Lang left his banking career to serve as a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) at the rank of Sergeant in Virginia airports. He was sworn both on the federal level as Special Deputy for the U.S. Marshals Service and on the state level as a Deputy Sheriff for the County Sheriff's Office. During this time the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was initially created as Congress had mandated extremely high levels of security for USA Airports. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) After serving for approximately a year as a LEO Richard was hired by Homeland Security and assigned to TSA as a Federal Liaison for airport stakeholders responsible for implementing federal procedures and dealing with regulatory initiatives associated with aviation security.

In July 2013, I got suspended from my teaching job. At the time, it felt like my world was falling apart. I was separated from my wife, living in two houses, barely keeping myself alive, and earning £23,000 a year after leaving the Royal Marines as a Sergeant. And then I got suspended — for using the college's printer. In this episode, I share the full story of the one decision that changed the entire direction of my life. And the message is simple: whatever life you are living right now does not have to be the life you stay with. Inside this episode: •How I went from Royal Marines Sergeant to college teacher to suspended — in two years •The moment I sat at my desk and thought "this cannot be my life for the next 30 years" •The one decision that changed everything — and why I almost did not take it •What it feels like to walk out of a job with no plan, no business knowledge, and no idea what comes next •How I started with two fitness classes, six PT clients, and money borrowed from my mum •Why most men stay in lives they hate because they are too scared to make the move •The man running an eight-figure business who could not find ten minutes to take a call about himself •Where could you be in five years if you made the decision today? Anything is possible. But only if you make the decision. If you are ready to stop existing and start building, book a call with me here:   https://link.coachmatic.app/widget/bookings/coaching-call-with-jt Let's get to work.

Send us Fan MailI left the previous interview on a cliff hanger. I wanted you all to not only come back to hear the circumstances surrounding Jay's shooting, but I believe the bumps in the road of his career can speak to so many of us who choose to be a first responder. It's easy to glamorize and gloss over the highlights, but I'm overwhelmed and honored that so many guests have walked through the door and been completely authentic and real. I believe my Squad of listeners would detect anything less than real truth.

I can respect and appreciate everyone I know who has served honorably...but know when enough is enough.Please tune in, turn it up and enjoy the show.

Send us Fan MailJay reached out and asked to be on the show. He is currently an Air Medic, but his service started right out of high school. He joined the US Navy and became a Corpsman. His stories from this formative period in his life helped him grow up quickly, but he also worked with some extremely professional individual s who taught him the value of competence and confidence.He joined the Pima County Sheriff's Department and continued to serve the community. During this time, he learned that he was on the autism spectrum, and it helped him understand why his thought process on calls, enforcement of the law, and everyday interaction with his peers was different than others around him. He told me he thought it was important to share this part of his experience because he imagines there are others out there and they might find value in his willingness to share. I enjoyed his perspective, we had a very long chat (I thought I talked a lot) and so I've split this conversation into two episodes...but I urge you to catch the entire conversation because the great stories just continued to roll and roll.

RUN THAT EPISODE BACK! Today we are running an old favorite episode of mine!For 15 years in the Marine Corps, I believed the best Marines were always the ones in the trenches — the ones in the fire, making the play when the chaos hit. But what happens when the organization pulls you out of the fire? Does that make you less of a Marine, or is it actually the thing that saves you?In this episode of the Talkin' Crazy Podcast, I break down the mindset of top performers who sacrifice everything — family, balance, even their health — for the mission. I share the story of being sent to SACO when I was a Sergeant, how I thought it was punishment, and how that moment actually gave me the space to reset, write my book, and build Meech Speaks.This episode is for the Marines and leaders who pride themselves on grinding nonstop, but need to hear the truth: sometimes getting repositioned isn't punishment, it's preparation. Sometimes stepping out of the spotlight is exactly what you need to grow.
