| 0:00.0 | A shooting in Dallas and the death of Gloria Vanderbilt, reading the world through God's Word. |
| 0:08.0 | This is Dr. Jim Dinnison's Daily Article Podcasts for Tuesday, June 18th, 2019. |
| 0:15.0 | A gunman opened fire on the Earl Cable Federal Building in downtown Dallas yesterday morning. |
| 0:21.1 | According to the Dallas Police Department, the heavily armed masked suspect was shot in an |
| 0:26.0 | exchange of gunfire with federal officers. He was reportedly taken to a local hospital where he |
| 0:31.5 | was pronounced dead. Authorities identified the suspect as 22-year-old Brian Isaac Clyde. A bomb squad also examined his vehicle later detonating a device in a controlled explosion. As of this morning, federal authorities leading the investigation have not offered a motive for the shooting. |
| 0:50.3 | The bad news is that another shooting occurred in a public space. The good news is that no one |
| 0:56.0 | but the shooter was hurt. We can carry this bipolar theme into nearly any story in today's news. |
| 1:02.9 | For example, Wayne Cordero, a well-known Hawaiian pastor, met recently with 22 Christian leaders in China. |

| 1:34.1 | choose to emulate their courage. On the other side of the news, Gloria Vanderbilt died yesterday |
| 1:40.0 | at the age of 95. She was the great-great-granddaughter of famous financier, Cornelius Vanderbilt, |
| 1:47.3 | and the mother of CNN Newsman, Anderson Cooper. Hers was a story of remarkable fame and financial means. |
| 1:55.3 | However, her father was a gambler and an alcoholic dying of liver disease when he married her mother. Gloria was one year old |
| 2:02.7 | when he died. She was married four times and divorced three. She witnessed the suicide of one of her |
| 2:09.0 | four sons when Carter killed himself at the age of 23, leaping from his mother's 14th floor apartment |
| 2:15.1 | as she tried to stop him. Anderson Cooper said of his mother, |
