Before we get started, it's my privilege to offer a word of sincere thanks to each one who responded

yesterday on Giving Tuesday with the first time gift. Thank you. Your response lifts us up,

especially the remarkable number who pledged ongoing recurring support. You know, at World,

the Journalists You support produced so many great stories all year long,

and when you give, you can think of it as stepping into the story by making those stories possible.

You can think of it, too, as stepping into the story of independent Christian journalism.

All week we're continuing our new donor drive. If you're new and world is

becoming a regular part of your daily routine, then you are the kind of listener we count on to

support this program. Yeah, and if you've not yet made a gift of support, we understand, but this is

the week to change that and join with so many other first-time donors.

You know, I really love that $50,000 challenge gift that kicked off the drive, not as a match,

but as a challenge and an encouragement. It's a reminder that we're all in this together,

that no one is expected to go it alone or carry the whole burden. And when you give,

you join the team, you step into the story. WNG.org slash new donor.

Good morning. Today on Washington Wednesday, electoral politics, foreign and domestic, the law of war, the war on law, and vetting refugees.

Hunter Baker is standing by. Also today, world tour, and later recovering heroism and faith in the shadows of darkness.

The survival of Great Britain, the survival of Western civilization is an open question,

and these men are getting on with their callings in the midst of that.

And the isolation of elite life, commentary from World Opinions contributor Eric Erickson.

Thank you. from World Opinions contributor Eric Erickson. It's Wednesday, December 3rd.
