| 0:00.0 | I almost never take vacation, but I decided this weekend I would get out of town with sweet |
| 0:04.8 | little Elisa and disconnect from the news for a few days and even miss a show, something I almost |
| 0:10.9 | never do on Columbus Day. And during that brief little time away, the world blew up. |
| 0:18.3 | Hamas terrorists launched the worst attack on the state of Israel in 50 years, committed all |
| 0:24.4 | sorts of crimes against civilians, killing more than 700 Israelis and injuring at least 2,500 |
| 0:31.0 | people. I'm sure the numbers are higher. That was as of yesterday evening. Now, the Israeli |
