The Happiest Life is the name of Hugh Hewitt's new book.  Subtitled  Seven Gifts, Seven Givers, and the Secret to Genuine Success, Hugh identifies seven qualities that help define one's life, and the seven relationships in our lives that inform those qualities.

In this interview with Jim, Hugh discusses the book and his northeast Ohio roots. And he names three geniuses he has known in his life, names you know but may surprise you. 

Constitutional Issues Debated By Legal Heavy Hitters

Constitution Under Fire, an examination of current events viewed within the context of the U. S. Constitution, featured the insights of  Hugh Hewitt, host of the Hugh Hewitt Show from 6:00-9:00PM on AM 1420, The Answer, and  Avery Friedman, the Cleveland-based civil right attorney who serves as a legal analyst for CNN.  Both teach constitutional law and have different opinions about the constitutionality of issues like Obamacare, presidential power, and privacy protections. But they find common ground on some issues, too. 

The spirited exchange, which took place on Friday, October 25, 2013 at Lockkeeper's Restaurant in Valley View, Ohio is posted below.  And you can read a review of the event posted on the Akron Beacon Journal website here.

Hugh Hewitt, Avery Friedman and Lunch at Lockkeepers

It should be an interesting exchange between AM 1420 evening talk show host Hugh Hewitt, a constitutional law professor, and local attorney  Avery Friedman, who also teaches constitutional law and who appears on CNN as a legal analyst.  You hear Hugh every night from 6:00 to 9:00.  Listen here to Avery Friedman in this interview with Jim, to discern how differently he interprets the constitution.  And click here to buy tickets to this Friday's lunch and lively debate.
