The Real Story with Jeanne Ives and Amy Jacobson

In this episode of "The Real Story with Jeanne Ives," Jeanne interviews Robert Bevis a gun shop owner from Naperville and Hannah Hill, the director for research and policy at the National Gun Rights AssociationThey discuss their ongoing legal battle against Illinois' gun ban legislation at the Supreme Court level. The lawsuit initially began in Naperville, where the City Council passed an AR-15 sale ban. Robert Bevis and his legal team expanded the lawsuit to include the statewide ban as well. They requested a temporary restraining order to block the bans from going into effect, but the district court and the seventh circuit court both denied their requests. As a result, they appealed to the Supreme Court for emergency relief. The discussion covers the impact of the bans on Bob's business, the constitutional rights protected by the Second Amendment, and the public safety arguments put forth by the opposing side. They also touch on the discriminatory nature of the bans and the damages they are seeking. The Supreme Court's decision on whether to grant the emergency relief is considered a long shot, but they discuss the surprising response from Naperville and their arguments against the injunction. The episode sheds light on the complexities of the case and the potential implications for gun rights in Illinois.

As the season turns to spring we expect the fighting to pick up in Ukraine as both Russian and Ukraine forces continue to engage each other in this bloody war. Retired Colonel Roman Golash returns to the show to give us commentary and insight into this conflict from his family and sources within Ukraine.

In what appears to be an absolute failure of national security, the US Government has been running damage control over leaked intelligence documents that were distributed over a discord channel by a junior enlisted national guardsman. We look into how damaging this could be to not only the war in Ukraine but the potential rifts between the United States and her allies, as well as the risk to our human intelligence on the ground.

New standards for grading in our schools has spurred a bit of a controversy in Illinois.  Should you get a 50% grade if you do not turn in any work instead of a Zero? Is it unfair if you miss one assignment and it's weighted score makes it more difficult to pull your grades back up? These are the questions being asked in our schools right now.

Dr. Jessica Hockett, from the National Opportunity Project, returns to the podcast to give her perspective on this topic.
