Ladies and gentlemen, the following segment of the podcast is presented exclusively by Hillsdale College.

Now, in its 175th year, Hillsdale is a truly independent institution.

Where learning is prized and intellectual enthusiasm is valued.

Thank you for listening, and my sincere appreciation to Hillsdale for their sponsorship.

He's here. He's here. Now, broadcasting from the underground command post. Deep in the

bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-descript building,

we've once again made contact with our leader, Mike. Love that.

We have a congregation here of open-hearted people. We help people. We're here to help people.

And to have something like this happen destroys my heart. And when I say destroys it destroys it

because there is evil in this world. Six seconds. Six seconds.

And actually, you're either be talking about eight seconds. The documentary, the movie,

from the 90s about Lane Frost. That was his sad story too, but much better one, ultimately.

We're talking about six seconds. That was the time from the first shot being fired

at the West Freeway Church of Christ in Texas yesterday. And the final shot.

Six seconds. Three people dead. Now, I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a happy Hanukkah.

Yeah. Obviously, evil is alive and well. And there's an effort to try to keep you from having

a Merry Christmas and a happy Hanukkah. We are here on the back of the eighth anti-Semitic attack

in New York alone during the month of December, Saturday. And on back of yet another attack on

Christians and a church. And so the question becomes why? None of this is new. Anti-Semitism.

That's not new. Attacks against Christianity. That's not new. Macheteers are new. Guns aren't new.

Middle health issues aren't new. So why do we have the escalation of violence? What's really going on here?

I am Brian Mud. I host the morning Rush W. J. No in West Palm Beach. The Brian Mud show W. I. O. D. in Miami.
